Center Director: Sidhu, Sukh S.
Title: Northeast Region Hazardous Substance Research Center
Investigators: Armenante, Piero M.
Institution: New Jersey Institute of Technology
EPA Project Officer: Manty, Dale
Project Period: October 1, 1989 through September 30, 1999
Project Amount: $5,000,000
RFA: Hazardous Substance Research Centers - HSRC (1989)
Research Category: Hazardous Substance Research Centers
Description:
Objective:Authority to establish HSRC Center Program was established by EPA in 1989 under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986. The mission of the program was to conduct research to develop and demonstrate new methods to assess and remediate sites contaminated with hazardous substances; improve existing treatment technologies; decrease the production & use of hazardous substances; and educate hazardous substance management professionals and improve community public awareness
The HSRC program provided a national program of basic and applied research, technology transfer, and training. Five multi-university centers, each located in a pair of federal regions, focused on different aspects of hazardous substance management. They brought together researchers from a variety of disciplines to collaborate on integrated research projects.
The HSRCs were funded by EPA, DOE, DOD, academia, and other state and federal government agencies. The centers shaped their research agendas with the assistance of advisory committees made up of representatives from industry, regulatory organizations, academic institutions, and government.
The Northeast center covered EPA Regions 1 and 2, with New Jersey Institute of Technology serving as the lead institution. Other participating universities included MIT, Princeton, Rutgers, Stevens Institute of Technology, Tufts, and University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey. This HSRC focused on incineration/thermal treatment, characterization and monitoring, in-situ remediation, and ex-situ treatment of industrial wastes.
