Remediation Technology Assessment Reports: Summary of Selected Documents (2005)
This factsheet, published by the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable (FRTR), identifies and summarizes selected reports prepared by federal and state agencies to assist project managers in selecting and designing remediation technologies. Remediation Technology Assessment Reports are based on practical field experience with either specific technologies (such as permeable reactive barriers) or, in a few instances, specific contaminants (such as arsenic). As of September 2005, the website http://costperformance.org/remediation provides access to 68 of these reports. The new factsheet highlights the Remediation Technology Assessment Reports that may be among the most useful to project managers. Order: EPA 542-F-05-006

Workshop on Nanotechnology for Site Remediation (2005)
Members of the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable held a workshop on the use of nanotechnology for site remediation in Washington, D.C., on October 20-21, 2005. The workshop served as a communication and scientific reporting forum on remediation research and technologies, as a stimulus for increased collaborations among the various researchers and government scientists, and as a forum for discussing research needs. Nanotechnology is research and technology development at the nanometer scale (one billionth of a meter) to create structures, devices, and systems that have novel properties and functions. Among the potential applications for nanotechnology are treatment technologies for environmental pollutants. View/Download conference proceedings.
