SITE Background

• Demonstration Program
• -- Evaluations of environmental remediation
  technologies
• Characterization and Monitoring Program
• -- Environmental monitoring technology
  demonstrations
• Technology Transfer

3
SITE Approach

• Demonstration Program-
• Focuses on sites where few remediation options
  exist or sites where new technologies have
  potential to yield high returns.
• MMTP-
• Evaluation of real time monitoring and
  characterization tools and approaches

4

The Evaluation Process
Partnerships with User Community to Identify
Priority Sites
Matching Priority Sites with Technology Solutions
Technology Evaluation
Establish Relationships with Technology Suppliers
Remediation, Redevelopment
