Environmental Technology Council Briefing: U.S. EPA SITE Program Randy A. Parker Acting Associate Director for Technology National Risk Management Research Laboratory, LRPCD
SITE Background • Demonstration Program • -- Evaluations ofenvironmental remediation technologies • Characterization and Monitoring Program • -- Environmental monitoring technology demonstrations • Technology Transfer
SITE Approach • Demonstration Program- • Focuses on sites where few remediation options exist or sites where new technologies have potential to yield high returns. • MMTP- • Evaluation of real time monitoring and characterization tools and approaches
Information Transfer TheEvaluationProcess Partnerships with User Community to Identify Priority Sites Matching Priority Sites with Technology Solutions Technology Evaluation Establish Relationships with Technology Suppliers Remediation, Redevelopment
Cost Share SITE Program\ Site Owner Vendor OSWER Test Plan Infrastructure Equipment (i.e. roads, electric) Sampling Residual waste O&M disposal Analytical vendor agreement Reports visitor’s day
