On May 30, member agencies of the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable (FRTR) announced the release of 56 new case study reports describing the cost and performance of remediation at hazardous waste sites. The studies were compiled by the Army, Navy, Air Force, DOE, and EPA as part of an ongoing commitment to document and share their experiences based on actual field applications of cleanup technologies. With the addition of this new information, 274 case studies are now available covering a wide variety of technologies for the remediation of contaminated soil and ground water. The FRTR is also making available 39 case study reports on site characterization technologies. These 56 new reports cover such timely subjects as treatment of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) in groundwater and drinking water, optimization of groundwater cleanup systems, and cleanup of small dry cleaner sites (including reports from State agencies). Specific technologies in the update feature varies in situ processes, including bioremediation, flushing, chemical oxidation, air sparging (injecting air), and monitored natural attenuation. Information from the case study reports will aid project managers, technology providers, consulting engineers, and other interested parties in identifying smarter solutions for and making better engineering judgements about site remediation. The 274 reports are available on the FRTR web site (http://www.frtr.gov). The web site provides the ability to search and screen reports – allowing users to identify case studies that match their needs. In addition, abstracts of the new studies (Abstracts of Remediation Case Studies: Volume V) and a CD-ROM of all 274 reports are available from the National Service Center for Environmental Publications at 1-800-490-9198.
