Report Preparation: Innovative technologies are evaluated independently and, when
possible, against conventional technologies. The field technologies are operated by the developers
in the presence of independent technology observers. The technology observers are provided by EPA
or a third party group. Demonstration data are used to evaluate the capabilities, limitations, and field
applications of each technology. Following the demonstration, all raw and reduced data used to
evaluate each technology are compiled into an Environmental Technology Verification Report
(ETVR), which is mandated by EPA as a record of the demonstration. A data summary and detailed
evaluation of each technology are published in an ETVR.
Information Distribution: The goal of the information distribution strategy is to ensure that
ETVRs are readily available to interested parties through traditional data distribution pathways, such
as printed documents. Documents are also available on the World Wide Web through the ETV Web
site (http://www.epa.gov/etv) and through a Web site supported by the EPA Office of Solid Waste
and Emergency Response's Technology Innovation Office (http://CLU-in.com).
1.5 Purpose of this Demonstration Plan
The purpose of the demonstration plan is to describe the procedures that will be applied to
generate the data and information that can be used to verify the performance goals of six Decision
Support Software packages. This document incorporates the QA/QC elements needed to provide
test problems of appropriate quality sufficient to reach a defensible position regarding technology
performance. This is not a method validation study, nor will it represent every environmental
situation which may be acceptable for this technology. But it will provide data of sufficient quality
to make a judgement about the application of the technology under conditions similar to those
encountered in the field.5
