SERDP & ESTCPBriefing for BERAC Dr. Jeffrey Marqusee Executive Director February 23, 2010
DoD’s Environmental Technology Programs • Science and Technology • $68 M FY2010 • Demonstration/Validation • $41 M FY2010 • (+ $30M ECIP)
Environmental Technology Development Process ESTCP SERDP Service Requirements Basic/Applied Research Advanced Development Demonstration/ Validation Implementation DUSD(I&E) DDR&E DUSD(I&E) A Requirements Driven Integrated Program
Environmental DriversReduction of Current and Future Liability Contamination from Past Practices Pollution Prevention to Control Life Cycle Costs • Elimination of Pollutants and Hazardous Materials in Manufacturing Maintenance & Operations • Achieve Compliance Through Pollution Prevention • Groundwater, Soils and Sediments • Large UXO Liability • Emerging Contaminants
Environmental DriversSustainability of Ranges, Facilities, and Operations Toxic Air Emissions and Dust Maritime Sustainability Threatened and Endangered Species Noise UXO & Munitions Constituents Urban Growth & Encroachment Climate Change & GHG
Strategic EnvironmentalResearch and Development Program (SERDP) Established by Congress in FY 1991 DoD, DOE, and EPA partnership SERDP is a requirements driven program that: Identifies high-priority environmental science and technology investment opportunities that address DoD requirements Advanced technology development to address near term needs Fundamental research to impact real world environmental management
Established by statute Organization SERDP COUNCIL Council Chair Rotates between DoD and DOE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SERDP TECHNICAL COMMITTEES (STC) SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD EXECUTIVE WORKING GROUP • SERDP’s extended virtual staff • multi-agency • > 40 technical members • significant time commitment
Environmental SecurityTechnology Certification Program (ESTCP) • Demonstrate Innovative Cost-Effective Environmental Technologies • Capitalize on past investments • Transition technology out of the lab • Promote Implementation • Direct technology insertion • Gain regulatory and end user acceptance Priority: needs of the DoD user community
Focus Area Management Structure Weapons Systems & Platforms Munitions Management Environmental Restoration Sustainable Infrastructure
SERDP’s Investment Approach • SERDP’s Investments Continuously Evolve • Annual Solicitations Structured Around Statements of Need (SON) • SON Reflect: • Longer term strategic plans to address critical needs • Examples: contaminated groundwater, perchlorate, UXO, marine mammals and sonar, eliminating Cr+6, etc. • SERDP is the dominant investor in some areas (i.e. UXO, perchlorate) • In others SERDP leverages existing investments (i.e. marine mammals-ONR, groundwater-BER ) • Stand alone investments addressing narrower needs
Generating Investment Topics (SON)* SERDP Technical Committees (STC) Workshops Special Studies SERDP Science Advisory Board DoD Environmental Committees and Working Groups Science and Engineering Conferences *Or how SERDP identifies environmental science and technology research opportunities to address DoD requirements

SERDP/ESTCP Projects • BER Genomic work is being applied and extended in a number of projects: • ER-1561: Standardized Procedures For Use Of Nucleic Acid-Based Tools (Lebrón) • ER-1586: BioReD: Biomarkers and Tools for Reductive Dechlorination Site Assessment, Monitoring, and Management (Löffler) • ER-1587: Application of microarrays and qPCR to identify phylogenetic and functional biomarkers diagnostic of microbial communities that biodegrade chlorinated solvents to ethene (Alvarez-Cohen) • ER-1588: Molecular Biomarkers for Detecting, Monitoring, and Quantifying Reductive Microbial Processes (Spormann) • ER-0518: Use of Nucleic Acid-Based Tools for Monitoring Biostimulation and Bioaugmentation (Lebrón)
SERDP/ESTCP & QDR Crafting a Strategic Approach to Climate and Energy • “The Department will leverage the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program, a joint effort among DoD, the Department of Energy, and the Environmental Protection Agency, to develop climate change assessment tools.” • “The Department will also speed innovative energy and conservation technologies from laboratories to military end users. The Environmental Security and Technology Certification Program uses military installations as a test bed to demonstrate and create a market for innovative energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies coming out of the private sector and DoD and Department of Energy laboratories.”
