Subsurface Remediation: Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of the the Interior, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency June 8-11, 1999

Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable is an interagency working group seeking to build a more collaborative atmosphere among the federal agencies involved in hazardous waste site remediation. To date, the focus of this group has been on the exchange of information and production of cost and performance reports on innovative hazardous waste characterization, monitoring and treatment technologies. Members include major developers and users of these technologies:

Background & Objectives As more and more subsurface remediation technologies are installed at hazardous waste sites across the country, the challenge of efficiently monitoring system performance and environmental results arises. It is no longer acceptable to simply install a system, turn on the switch and walk away. Occasionally remediation systems are installed with inadequate site characterization data, without realistic or definitive goals or without a process to evaluate performance data. These practices have resulted in high operation, maintenance, and monitoring costs which will continue to rise unless we begin to focus on improving remedial system performance. The objectives of this conference are to 1) highlight successes and issues related to improving the performance of subsurface remediation technologies, 2) showcase practical approaches to cost-effective monitoring of remedial performance, and 3) identify research gaps and needs from current practice. |

| Evening Workshops Evening workshops will be offered for in-depth training by field practitioners and researchers on specific topics. The workshops are scheduled for the evenings of June 8 and 9 between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. There is no cost for the workshops, but you must preregister to participate. You may preregister by making your selection on the workshop registration form included online below. |

| Researchers and practitioners from
around the country will present: • practical examples of integrating and optimizing remediation systems and long-term monitoring programs to improve performance and reduce costs • discussions of critical issues and solutions facing integrating remedial action operations and long-term monitoring • guidance on establishing data quality objectives, sampling issues, and data analysis • workshops on modeling for system optimization or evaluation, cost-effective sampling methods, future research needs, and monitoring of natural attenuation • database management, statistical methods, and data interpretation for decision support • case studies of cost-effective long-term monitoring and performance assessment strategies |
