ETV Participates in Meetings of the International Working Group on Environmental Technology Verification, European Advance ETV Project
On February 2-4, ETV representatives will participate in the fourth meeting of the International Working Group on Environmental Technology Verification (IWG-ETV), hosted by the European Commission in Stuttgart, Germany. Evelyn Hartzell will represent and present on the U.S. EPA ETV Program at the meeting. A kick-off meeting for Europe’s new ETV international effort, Advance ETV, will also be held. Teresa Harten, U.S. ETV Director, will attend the meeting as a member of the advisory board. Both activities are designed to help raise the international relevance of environmental technology verification and promote leveraging of resources and skills to meet shared environmental challenges in drinking water treatment, greenhouse gas reduction and energy efficiency, compliance monitoring, and other areas. For more information, please contact Evelyn Hartzell, EPA, at (513) 569-7728. See additional information on ETV international activities.

ETV Materials Management and Remediation Center Solicits Stakeholders
ETV recently announced the addition of a new Materials Management and Remediation (MMR) Center. The MMR Center, operated in cooperation with Battelle, verifies materials management technologies, including for recycling, beneficial use of waste materials, recovery of useful components of waste, and treatment to minimize disposal requirements (e.g., containment, volume, cost); and technologies to remediate contaminated land and ground water, such as that found at Superfund sites and other properties where industrial or commercial activities have resulted in a legacy of hazardous constituents that limit future use of the property. The MMR Center is currently soliciting stakeholders to help guide verification activities in these areas. ETV stakeholders assist the program by helping develop protocols for verification testing, prioritizing the types of technologies to be verified, and implementing outreach activities to the customer groups they represent.
The MMR Center is planning an informational teleconference for potential stakeholders in February 2009. If you are interested in becoming a stakeholder or participating in this teleconference, or for questions about the MMR Center, please contact Amy Dindal, Battelle, at (561) 422-0113, or Teri Richardson, EPA, at (513) 569-7949. See additional information on the MMR Center.
