Abstract

The Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Emerging Technology Program (ETP) has financially supported further development of bench- and pilot-scale testing and evaluation of innovative technologies for use at hazardous waste sites for five years. The ETP was established under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986. The ETP complies with the goal of the SITE Program to promote, accelerate and make commercially available the development of alternative/innovative treatment technologies for use at Superfund sites. Technologies are submitted to the ETP through yearly solicitations for Preproposals. Applicants are asked to submit a detailed project proposal and a cooperative agreement application that requires Developer/EPA cost sharing. EPA co-funds selected Developers for one to two years. Second-year funding requires documentation of significant progress during the first year. Facilities, equipment, data collection, performance and development are monitored throughout the project. The US Department of Energy (DOE) and the US Air Force (USAF) are participants in the ETP. DOE has co-funded ETP projects since 1990 and the USAF since 1991. A goal of the ETP is to move developed technologies to the field-demonstration stage. A developer may be considered for participation in the SITE Demonstration Program if performance in the ETP indicates themore »« less

Six technology categories: biological, chemical, materials handling, physical, solidification/stabilization and thermal, are presently in the ETP. Technologies of primary interest to EPA are those that can treat complex mixtures of hazardous organic and inorganic contaminants and provide improved solids handling and/or pretreatment. An account of the background and progress of the ETP's first five years is presented in this paper. Technologies currently in the ETP are noted, and developers and EPA Project Managers, are listed. 4 refs., 11 figs., 6 tabs.},

Control technology: 1992 update of US EPA's Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) emerging technology program

Technical Report Lewis, N; Barkley, N; Williams, T

The Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Emerging Technology Program (ETP) has encouraged and financially supported further development of bench- and pilot-scale testing and evaluation of innovative technologies suitable for use at hazardous waste sites for five years. The ETP was established under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986. The ETP complies with the goal of the SITE Program to promote, accelerate and make commercially available the development of alternative/innovative treatment technologies for use at Superfund sites.

EPA seeks preproposals for emerging technology program

Journal Article

This portion of the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program seeks to foster the further development of technologies that have successfully been tested at bench-scale and are now ready for pilot-scale testing prior to field or full-scale demonstration. The goal of the Emerging Technology Program is to ensure that a steady stream of permanent, cost-effective technologies will be ready for demonstration in the field, thereby increasing the number of viable alternatives available for use in Superfund site removal and remedial actions. The 1989 solicitation will emphasize technologies that can handle complex mixtures of hazardous organic and inorganic contaminants in sludgesmore »« less

Demonstration of waste-treatment technologies

Technical Report Martin, J

The need for long-term, permanent treatment schemes as alternatives to land disposal has been highlighted by legislation such as the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986. SARA directed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to establish an 'Alternative or Innovative Treatment Technology Research and Demonstration Program' to identify promising waste treatment technologies, assist with their evaluation, and promote their use at Superfund sites. In response to this directive the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program was formed. Twenty technology demonstrations have been completed inmore »« less
Cost growth for treatment technologies at NPL sites

Technical Report Doty, C; Crotwell, A; Travis, C

The comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) provided the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with resources and direction for the identification, evaluation, and remediation of hazardous waste sites in the United States. Congress has authorized a total of $10.1 billion to be appropriated through fiscal year 1991 for this purpose. To data, more than 1200 sites have been added to the National Priority List (NPL) of hazardous waste sites that are eligible for CERCLA funding. At the end of fiscal year 1988, EPAmore »« less
