Mine Waste Technology
Mining activities in the United States (not counting coal) produce between 1 and 2 billion tons of mine waste annually. The concept of pollution prevention, emphasizing at-source control and resource recovery, is the approach of choice for the long-term solution.

Metal Finishing
Explanation of the various research projects to support the metal finishing industry.

Lead Paint & Soil Abatement
T o find less costly and more effective ways to remove lead paint from interior and exterior painted surface.

Industrial Process Pollution Prevention Modeling
To develop computer software tools for the user community to self-assess their pollution prevention options with environmental concerns as a major parameter.

Fuel Cells
Fuel cells promise to be one technology that could fill the needs while avoiding the problems.

Common Sense Initiative
CSI is a cooperative effort of government, industry, environmental groups, and other stakeholders to find cleaner, cheaper, smarter approaches to environmental management in industrial sectors.

Technology Verification Work
ETV research program encompasses three pilot efforts.

Metal Forming
Developed to identify metal products manufacturing environmental problems and deliver solutions for environmental improvements, mainly involve the: reduction in the use of toxics; the prevention of the formation of large volumes of wastewater, hazardous waste or air emissions containing toxic pollutants; and improvements in energy conservation.

Source Reduction Review Program
Evaluating the use of alternative pollution prevention opportunities at secondary fiber deink facilities and continuing development of effluent limitations guidelines and standards for the pulp, paper, and paperboard industry.

P2 Tools
Computational clusters are becoming the accepted solutions for the ever-growing need for computational power, with more and more disciplines leaning towards computers to solve problems traditionally solved using more expensive means. The major contributing factors for increased cluster usage are the low cost associated with them, when compared to the cost of super-computing power.

PARIS II
Industrial solvents whose continued use raises concern for worker health and toxins in the environment need to be replaced cost-effectively. Program for Assisting the Replacement of Industrial Solvents, Version 2 (PARIS II) is a software tool created to address this need

Computer Aided Process Engineering
The Metal Finishing Facility Pollution Prevention Tool project provides a middleware standard for chemical process simulation component models.
