This reference guide provides a yellow pages of remediation technologies. It is intended to be used to screen and evaluate candidate cleanup technologies for contaminated installations and waste sites in order to assist remedial project managers (RPMs) in selecting a remedial alternative. To reduce data collection efforts and to focus the remedial evaluation steps, information on widely used and presumptive remedies is provided. There is a trend toward a reduction in the degree of site characterization through screening and the use of presumptive remedies. Presumptive remedies, as established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are preferred technologies for common categories of sites, based on historical patterns of remedy selection and EPA's scientific and engineering evaluation of performance data on technology implementation.
Use of presumptive remedies will allow a RPM to focus on one or two alternatives: decreasing the site characterization data needs and focusing the remedial evaluation steps, resulting in less time and effort. Conversely, sites with extensive data needs will require a more thorough characterization and evaluation of many remedial alternatives. The unique approach used to prepare this guide was to review and compile the collective efforts of several U.S. Government agencies into one compendium document. For each of several high-frequency of occurrence types of sites, the guide enables the reader to ...
1. Screen for possible treatment technologies.
2. Distinguish between emerging and mature technologies.
3. Assign a relative probability of success based on available performance data, field use, and engineering judgment.
This reference guide allows the reader to gather essential descriptive information on the respective technologies. It incorporates cost and performance data to the maximum extent available and focuses primarily on demonstrated technologies. However, emerging technologies may be more appropriate.
