treatment technologies and 2) to demonstrate and evaluate new innovative
measurement and monitoring technologies (EPA 1988d). Many of the activities
of the SITE program parallel those of DOE's RDDT&E program.
The SITE program has five components:
1. The Demonstration Program develops performance engineering and cost
information on innovative alternative technologies so that they can be
adequately considered in decisions about remediation for hazardous waste
sites.
2. The Emerging Technologies Program performs laboratory pilot- and bench-
scale evaluations for technologies that are not yet ready for field
demonstration.
3. The Technology Transfer Program includes numerous components that incor-
porate a variety of outreach activities. This program disseminates
demonstration and waste remediation data from all components of the SITE
program to regional and state managers of Superfund cleanup activities,
federal agencies, the engineering community, related industries, and the
public.
4. The Measurement and Monitoring Technologies Development Program seeks to
improve Superfund site characterization efforts by continually develop-
ing new and innovation measurement and monitoring technologies.
5. The Innovative Technologies Program was an outgrowth of early research
and development efforts. It promotes transfer of EPA-developed tech-
nologies to the private sector for commercialization and use at
Superfund sites.
The EPA Inspector General recently found that EPA needed to increase its
efforts to demonstrate innovative treatment technologies and to disseminate
the results to those who make decisions about regional cleanup (EPA 1990). In
addition, EPA's newly formed Superfund Technology Innovation Office plans to
establish an clearinghouse for information on innovative technologies, a fed-
eral roundtable on remediation technologies, and "technology incubators" to
support development of hazardous waste treatment technologies.
