The 1989 Delaware Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Field Study was a cooperative effort between the Atmospheric Research and Exposure Assessment Laboratory and the Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory located in Las Vegas, NV. The SITE was established to satisfy the mandate of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 to demonstrate alternative or innovative treatment and site characterization technologies. As such, the program provides for the predemonstration testing of new monitoring technologies. A number of new technologies including sector sampling, temporal profile analysis, open air long path monitoring, and fence-line dosimetry were employed in the 1989 study. The report documents the successful use of these techniques and shows their potential to provide the Agency and others with improved, cost-effective means to monitor the air exposure pathway during Superfund site assessment and remediation.
