Publications:
Design and Engineering: Soil Vapor Extraction and Bioventing
(EM 1110-1-4001) This manual developed by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers provides practical guidance for the design and
operation of soil vapor extraction (SVE) and bioventing (BV)
systems. It is intended for people involved in any phase of SVE and
bioventing projects. The manual describes current best practice for
SVE and BV site characterization, system design, system start-up
and operation [November 1995, 247 pages]. Copies are available
from USACE Publications Depot, (301) 394-0084.
Partnerships for the Remediation of Hazardous Wastes (EPA
542-R-96-006) This brochure provides information on opportunities
for entering in collaborative public-private technology development
projects. These opportunities are of special interest to private sector
partners interested in the development of new and innovative
hazardous waste characterization and treatment technologies. The
document briefly describes the background, current activities, future
plans, and contacts of the Technology Innovation Office's four main
partnerships [December 1996, 12 pages]. Download from
httn://du-in.orn/technuhs.htm#june. For hard copies, contact (800) 490"9198.
The Bioremediation Action Committee Fact Sheet (EPA
542-F-96-031) This fact sheet provides interested parties with
information on the structure and mission of the BAC. The BAC
tackles much of its research through subcommittees, the two most
active being alternative endpoints and natural attenuation. The fact
sheet also the BAC's mission, goals, and contacts [May 1997, 2
pages]. Download from http://clu-in.org/tech pubs,htm#June. For hard copies, contact

Technology Verification
The U. S. EPA's Environmental Technology Verification
Program (EPA 600-F-97-005) This brochure, produced by the ORD
ETV Program, outlines EPA's 12 technology verification pilot
programs [May 1997, 2 pages]. Three new pilots are being initiated -
Source Water Protection, Climate Change, and Metal Finishing.
EPA will issue solicitations shortly for verification partners for these
pilots. The Advanced Monitoring Systems, Air Pollution Control and
Wet Weather Flow pilots are currently evaluating proposals for
partners. The six operational pilots are Drinking Water Systems, Site
Characterization and Monitoring, Pollution Prevention and Waste
Treatment Systems, Pollution Prevention through Improved
Coatings, Indoor Air Products, and an Independent Entity Pilot. The
brochure, the Environmental Technology Verification Program
Strategy, and additional information on ETV are available at
httn://www.ena.nov/etv. or call Sarah Bauer at 202-260-1819.
ETV Consortium for Site Characterization Technologies -
Schedule of Events The CSCT schedule for verification
demonstrations is now viewable at http://www.epa.aov/etv. The CSCT will be
conducting verification demonstrations for 6 classes of field
technologies: soil and soil gas sampling, groundwater sampling,
well-head monitoring, PCB analysis, and field extraction. See
schedule for information on Visitor Days.
Ground Water Technologies
Environmental Research Brief: Characterization of Organic
Matter in Soil and Aquifer Solids (EPA 600-S-97-001) This paper,
published by the Office of Research and Development, evaluates
analytical methods to determine and characterize fractions of
subsurface organic matter [April 1997, 11 pages]. For hard copies,
contact (800) 490-9198.
Technology Evaluation Report: Surfactants/Cosolvents
(TE-96-02) This report prepared for the Ground-Water Remediation
Technologies Analysis Center (GWRTAC) provides a
state-of-the-art review of the use of surfactants/cosolvents for in situ
flushing. Information used to prepare this report was gathered
primarily from peer-reviewed papers and publications. The report
contains a description of the technology and information on
applicability, performance, cost, regulatory issues, lessons learned
and general references. Download from httn//wwwnwrtannm or call

Meetings and Workshops
"Advances in Innovative Ground-Water Remediation
Technologies," a free one-day conference, will be held on July 31,
1997 at the Warwick Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The
conference is being sponsored by the Ground-Water Remediation
Technologies Analysis Center (GWRTAC) with EPA TIO. The
morning session will focus on Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives in
Advancing Ground-Water Remediation, and will include
presentations by AATDF, SERDP, RTDF, and others. The afternoon
session will focus on Recent Developments/Applications in
Ground-Water Remediation Technologies, and will include
discussions on phytoremediation, treatment walls, natural
attenuation, and others. Registration is required as seating is limited.
