EPA's Cleaning Up the Nation's Waste Sites: Markets and Technology
Trends (2004 Edition), provides a overview of the US market for the
cleanup of sites contaminated with hazardous waste and petroleum
products. The report covers the Nation's seven major cleanup markets,
namely Superfund, RCRA Corrective Action, DoD, DOE, USTs, Civilian
Federal Agencies, and State Voluntary cleanup programs. It targets
industry and government officials preparing research, development, and
business strategies. The information it presents is intended to support
those who are developing, commercializing, and marketing new cleanup
technologies to meet the future demand. In addition to providing
estimates of future cleanup efforts across the Nation, the report
provides insightful analyses of each of the seven market segments,
including the following:
- Market description: nature of the program and regulatory
requirements and practices
- Market size: number of sites and cost of cleanup work needed
- Site characteristics: contaminants, media, and other factors that
affect technology demand
- Economic, political, and technical factors that affect demand for
cleanup services
- Relevant technology trends and issues by market segment
In addition to providing updates and new information relating to the
seven market segments, this report also includes analyses of remediation
needs in three market "niches," each of which presents a specific set of
remediation challenges—the cleanup of former manufactured gas plant
(MGP) and other coal tar sites, mining sites, and drycleaner sites; and
two specific issues that affect hazardous waste sites in most
remediation programs—site characterization technology, and the
remediation of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs).
