Rapid Commercialization Initiative (RCI) Final Report for an Integrated In Situ Remediation Technology (Lasagna™) (DOE/OR/22459-1)

View PDF

This report describes demonstration results for the Lasagna™ process, a process which uses established geotechnical methods to install degradation zones in contaminated soil and electrosmosis to move the contaminants back and forth through these zones until treatment is completed.

RCRA, Superfund, and Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Hotline

This hotline provides up-to-date information about the RCRA, Superfund, and EPCRA programs. The hotline handles information about EPA’s RCRA regulations and programs implemented under RCRA, including the UST program, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), EPCRA, the Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III, and the Oil Pollution Act (OPA). The hotline also provides referrals for obtaining related documents concerning the RCRA, UST, Superfund/CERCLA, and Pollution Prevention/Waste Minimization programs. The hotline operates daily Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). The hotline can be reached by telephone at 800-424-9346 for all nongovernment locations outside the Washington, DC metropolitan local calling area, or 703-412-9810 for all locations in the Washington, DC metropolitan local calling area.

RCRA Information Center (RIC)

The RIC indexes and provides public access to all regulatory materials supporting EPA’s actions under RCRA and disseminates publications from EPA’s Office of Solid Waste. The information center operates daily, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST. The information center can be reached by telephone at 703-603-9230, by facsimile at 703-603-9234, or by e-mail at <RCRA.Docket@epa.gov>.

REmediation And CHaracterization Innovative Technologies (REACH IT) On-line Searchable Database

View on line at <http://www.epareachit.org>

EPA REACH IT will assist those involved in brownfields projects to evaluate and select applicable characterization and remediation technologies, as well as to gather detailed information about the providers of those technologies. An on-line searchable database, EPA REACH IT provides comprehensive, up-to-date information about more than 150 characterization and 1,300 remediation technologies that can be accessed through the guided and advanced search capabilities of the system. Examples of sites at which a particular type of technology has been implemented also are presented. The information is based upon data submitted by project managers for EPA, DoD, DOE, and state agencies, as well as information provided by suppliers of innovative technologies. EPA REACH IT is accessible only through the Internet.

Recent Developments for In Situ Treatment of Metal-Contaminated Soils (EPA 542-R-97-004)

View PDF

The document provides hazardous waste cleanup professionals with an update on the status of four available and promising technologies for in situ remediation of soil contaminated with heavy metals: electrokinetics; phytoremediation; soil flushing; and solidification and stabilization. The report is intended to assist in screening new technologies early in the remedy evaluation and selection process.

Remediation Technologies Screening Matrix and Reference Guide, Version 3.0 (PB98-108590)

View on line at <http://www.frtr.gov/matrix/top_page.html>

The document is intended to assist site remediation project managers to narrow the field of remediation alternatives and identify potentially applicable technologies for more detailed assessment and evaluation before remedy selection. The document summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of innovative and conventional technologies for remediation of soils, sediments, sludges, groundwater, surface water, and air emissions and off-gases; it focuses primarily on demonstrated technologies. Treatment, containment, separation of wastes, and enhanced recovery technologies are covered. Additional references and information resources also are included.
