| Environmental regulators from seven states and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) collaborated with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and an industrial consortium to demonstrate the performance of an innovate environmental soil remediation technology, named Lasagna ™. To assess cost and performance for removing trichloroethylene (TCE) from low-permeability soils, the demonstration was at DOE's Paducah, KY site and it was successful. The states, EPA, DOE's Office of Science and Technology, and the industrial consortium led by Monsanto collaborated through the Rapid Commercialization Initiative (RCI), an interagency-interstate partnership. A resulting verification statement summarized the environmental problem set, technology performance, and cost data. A listing of participating regulators and other team members is included. |
