Trends in Innovative Treatment Technologies at Contaminated Sites

Abstract

Increasing the diversity of technologies used to remediate contaminated soils and groundwater is one of the goals of EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER). While conventional methods of waste remediation, such as stabilization, containment, and incineration, are certainly valid approaches to resolving waste problems, statutory and economic considerations are now, more than ever, encouraging the entire remediation community to consider change in thinking and practice.
