About the Technology Innovation Program
Mission Statement
The mission of the Technology Innovation Program (TIP), formerly known as the Technology Innovation Office, is to advocate more effective, less costly approaches (i.e. "smarter solutions") by government and industry to assess and clean up contaminated waste sites, soil, and groundwater. Working with other federal agencies, states, consulting engineering firms, responsible parties, technology developers, and the investment community, TIP provides robust technology and market information and works to remove policy and institutional impediments related to the deployment of these technologies. The scope of the mission extends to Superfund sites, corrective action sites under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), underground storage tank clean-ups, state voluntary clean up programs and Brownfields. Technologies of interest are for field sampling and analysis and management (treatment and containment) of contaminated soil and groundwater. By contrast, TIP is not a focus for EPA interest in technologies for industrial or municipal wastes, for recycling, or for waste minimization. Other offices address these special interests.

Subject Matter Overview
The Environmental Response Team (ERT) is a branch within the Technology Innovation and Field Services Division that provides EPA Regional and Headquarters Offices, U. S. Coast Guard, District Offices, Federal, State, local Agencies, and foreign governments, experienced technical and logistical assistance in responding to environmental emergencies such as oil or hazardous materials spills, and the characterization and clean up of hazardous waste sites. ERT members and areas of expertise are available though the ERT web site.

The Training Exchange (Trainex)
EPA works in partnership with organizations, such as the Interstate Technology Regulatory Council (ITRC), and other agencies, such as the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), to offer training relevant to hazardous waste remediation, site characterization, risk assessment, emergency response, site/incident management, counter-terrorism, and the community's role in site management and cleanup.
