  1. EPA SITE PROGRAM The SITE Demonstration Program: Trends and Future Direction

  2. SITE Program Current Status Completed Demonstrations 109 MMTP 44 Total 153 Planned/Ongoing Demonstrations 29 MMTP 05 Total 34 as of Mar. 2000

  3. In-situ/Ex-situ Distribution of SITE Demonstration Projects # Demos Mar. 1997 May 1998 Jan. 1999 Jan. 2000

  4. Problem or “market driven” focus Emphasis on lower cost technologies Priority environmental emphasis areas SITE Approach

  5. Tech. Field Demos Information Transfer The Approach Partnerships with User Community to Identify Priority Sites Matching Priority Sites with Technology Solutions Establish Relationships with Technology Suppliers Hazardous Waste Remediation

  6. Selection Team ProgramOffices ITRC EPARegionalStaff DODESTCP DOE ORD

  7. Typical SITE Demonstration Schedule Weeks After SelectionActivity 0 Selection to Program 3-4* Site Visit 8-12 Evaluation Plan 12-52 Demonstration 16-36 Capsule and Bulletin 20-52 TER and ITER *Site-only applicants add 2-6 months for technology selection

  8. Cost Share SITE Program Site Owner Vendor Test Plan InfrastructureEquipment (i.e. roads, electric) Sampling Residual wasteO&M disposal Analytical Visitor’s Day Reports

  9. The site has a particular vendor and technology chosen to address their particular waste need. The site has chosen a family or category of technology with no particular vendor in mind. The site may choose to solicit for one or more technologies in a variety of technology areas. Possible Scenarios

  10. Program Accomplishments • Completed over 100 field demonstrations • Average 70% savings per site • Program vendors: 20-75% increase in revenue • 1,626 remediation contracts reported by 46 vendors • 1998 estimate of $2.1billion saved

  11. SITE Cost Savings* Solvent Extraction 2 sites ($117) Treatment Barrier 3 sites ($54.6) Vitrification 2 sites ($157) Others 8 sites ($258) Air Sparging 6 sites ($12.8) Thermal Desorption 11 sites ($107) SVE 28 sites ($937) Bioremediation 20 sites ($479) * millions of end-of-year 1998 dollars

  14. Environmental Emphasis Areas for 1998-2002 GROUNDWATER SOILS SEDIMENTS Organics/Inorganics DNAPLs-fractured bedrock/Karst Oxygenate Compounds Chlorinated Compounds Aromatics Creosote Phenols Metals Pesticides Chlorinated Compounds Aromatics Creosote Phenols Pesticides Chlorinated Aromatics Metals

  15. Environmental Emphasis Areas for 1998-2002 (cont.) CONTAINMENT IN-SITU Alternative Caps Evapotranspiration Covers New Materials/ Processes

  16. Future Priorities • Coupling of technologies • -- Sediments, Mining, Brownfields • Evaluation of partial source removal • -- DNAPL • Lower cost approaches • -- Redeveloping contaminated sites

  17. Future Priorities (cont.) • Alternative and Priority • -- Endpoints(eg.EDC’s,Eco Impacts) • Bioavailability • -- Soils Treatment and Mining • Non-invasive Monitoring Techniques • -- DNAPL Plume Mapping • -- Real Time In-situ Monitoring

  18. Recent Publications • SITE Profiles 10th Edition • Annual SITE Report to Congress • Innovative Technology Evaluation Reports (ITERs)
