| This document reports on the first meeting of the Pilot Study on Prevention and Remediation Issues in Selected Industrial Sectors. The purpose of the pilot study is to define and explore best practices for reducing the health and environmental impact on soil and groundwater from industrial sectors of interest as well as other unique site 'types.' The first meeting of the study was held Baia Mare, Romania on Sept. 7 – 10, 2003. |

| This document reports on the second meeting of the Pilot Study on Prevention and Remediation Issues in Selected Industrial Sectors. The purpose of the pilot study is to define and explore best practices for reducing the health and environmental impact on soil and groundwater from industrial sectors of interest (e.g., metals mining, organic chemical production, gasworks, and fertilizer manufacturing) as well as other unique site 'types' (e.g., old landfills, privatization sites [i.e., facilities transitioning from former state ownership in certain categories], mega sites [i.e., large scale former industrial and mining facilities], and shoreline sediment sites). |

| Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering and technology, nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling and manipulating matter at this scale. At the nanoscale, the physical, chemical and biological properties of materials may differ in fundamental and valuable ways from the properties of individual atoms and molecules or bulk matter. Nanotechnology presents new opportunities to improve how we measure, monitor, manage and minimize contaminants in the environment. New generations of nanomaterials will evolve and with them new and possibly unforeseen environmental issues. The purpose of this White Paper is to inform EPA management of the science issues and needs associated with nanotechnology, to support related EPA program office needs, and to communicate these nanotechnology science issues to stakeholders and the public. |

| This document was prepared by Beshoy Latif during an internship with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, sponsored by the Environmental Careers Organization. This document focuses on the use of nanomaterials in site remediation. Nine current EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grants aim at increasing our understanding of the fate and transport of nanomaterials as they are used for desirable processes in the environment. The immediate question of concern becomes: do we understand the physiochemical properties of nanoscale materials well enough to effectively apply them towards remediation? This document will attempt to answer this question by providing information on recent research. |

| The National Conference on Management and Treatment of Contaminated Sediment was held in Cincinnati, OH, May 13 to 14, 1997. This technology transfer meeting was held for 213 professionals from various EPA divisions and other organizations, including Environment Canada, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the National Research Council, academia, and the private sector, to disseminate information on how to manage and treat contaminated sediments. During the conference, 24 speakers presented various treatment options available for high- and low-end contaminated sites; future research needs, questions, and comments were addressed during an interactive panel discussion; and private vendors who have experience in the treatment of contaminated sediments were available for information at 23 vendor booths. |

| This action promulgates national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) from site remediations. The final rule implements the Clean Air Act (CAA) section 112(d) to control hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions at major sources where remediation technologies and practices are used at the site to clean up contaminated environmental media (e.g., soils, groundwaters, or surface waters) or certain stored or disposed materials that pose a reasonable potential threat to contaminate environmental media. |

| The purpose of this National Strategy (Strategy) is to expand and formalize optimization practices from site assessment to site completion as an operating business model for the Superfund Remedial Program (Remedial Program). This Strategy fulfills Action 10 of the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Integrated Cleanup Initiative (ICI): "Opportunities to Provide Greater Support in Optimizing Cleanup of Superfund Sites." |

| This case study was conducted at the former Fuel Farm Site at the U.S. Coast Guard Support Center at Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The geochemistry of the site is typical of sites where natural biodegradation limits the spread of BTEX compounds. The plume is undergoing extensive anaerobic oxidation of petroleum hydrocarbons, as well as fermentation of hydrocarbons to methane. The hydrocarbon metabolism through sulfate and iron oxidation is approximately equivalent to the hydrocarbon metabolism through methanogenesis. The amount of hydrocarbon metabolized through anaerobic pathways is about ten times the amount degraded with molecular oxygen. |

| Prior to the U.S. EPA’s ban on toxaphene in 1986, this pesticide was used regularly on the Navajo Nation to treat cattle and sheep. As much as 20,000 gallons of the pesticide were used daily and then discarded in some 250 pit sites, two of which are now the center of bioremediation activities being conducted by U.S. EPA Region IX, the Navajo Superfund Office, and the U.S. EPA/ERT. Running time is 10 minutes. |

| This report, prepared by Jessica L. Wargo from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is intended to provide a basic summary and current status on the New York/New Jersey Harbor Sediment Decontamination Project. The scope of the report was developed by EPA's Technology Innovation Office and sponsored by the MIT Washington Summer Internship Program. The paper summarizes five of the seven technologies for which pilot studies were performed under this project. Descriptions on each technology, along with the decontamination efficiency and beneficial use product are included in the report. |
