Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment Source Zone Treatment Web Site
The AFCEE Source Zone Treatment technology roadmap is intended to assist Air Force environmental managers in identifying and applying more effective methods for remediating and managing sites with contamination source zones. The web site offers a background on source zone remediation, the relevant issues, 'how-to' tools and knowledge, resources, links, and timely state-of-the-art technology reviews.
Bioremediation Discussion Group and Mailing List
The BioGroup is a global forum for discussing the technical aspects of bioremediation science and engineering. The Internet mailing list is hosted and moderated by GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc.
Centre for Soil Quality Management and Knowledge Transfer (Dutch acronym: SKB)
The Centre for Soil Quality Management and Knowledge Transfer has taken over the development and transfer of environmental technologies information formerly sponsored by NOBIS, which operated from 1995 to 2000. The products of NOBIS research are available at this site.
Enhancing Stakeholder Acceptance of Bioremediation Technologies
Focht, W., M. Albright, and R.P. Anex Jr.
DOE/ER/63798-1, 228 pp, 2009
This report details the results of an inquiry into the judgments and beliefs of people living near DOE reservations and facilities at Oak Ridge, TN; Hanford, WA; and Los Alamos, NM, about bioremediation of subsurface contamination. The purpose of the investigation was to identify strategies based on these judgments and beliefs for enhancing public support for biological remediation technologies, such as bioremediation, phytoremediation, and biobarriers.

This website is a one-stop resource for Navy environmental professionals and community members interested or involved in environmental site cleanup.
Superfund Remedy Report, Thirteenth Edition
EPA-542-R-10-004, 2010
The Superfund Remedy Report (SRR), Thirteenth Edition, formerly called the Treatment Technologies for Site Cleanup: Annual Status Report (ASR), was published by the EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) in September 2010. The SRR presents the analysis of Superfund remedial actions based on: (1) remedies selected in Records of Decision (ROD) and ROD amendments, and (2) actions modified in Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD), for fiscal years (FY) 2005 - 2008. The SRR also follows trends in remedy selection using ASR data from FY 1982 - 2004 combined with SRR data. The SRR analyzes remedies selected or modified in 594 decision documents, but does not include project-specific updates that were presented in past editions of ASR. In addition, SRR also includes brief project highlights related to green remediation, in situ bioremediation, and high resolution site characterization. The online version includes downloadable appendices with data for several key tables and figures in the report and new appendices that summarize all the remedy components selected for sources and groundwater in each individual decision document.

Forced Air Remediation Workshop, 16-17 June 2009, Taipei, Taiwan
U.S. EPA, Office of International Affairs, 2009
- Section 1: Air-Based Remediation Technology Selection Logic (25 slides)
- Section 2: Sampling and Analysis Relevant to Air-Based Remediation Technologies (67 slides)
- Section 3: Sustainable Remediation and Air-Based Technologies (7 slides)
- Section 4: Soil Vapor Extraction (82 slides)
- Section 5: Bioventing (37 slides)
- Section 6: In Situ Air Sparging (41 slides)
- Section 7: Multi-Phase Extraction and Product Recovery (57 slides)
- Section 8: Thermal Systems (74 slides)
EPA's Office of International Affairs Organized the Forced Air Remediation Workshop in Taipei to deliver expert training based on slide presentations to the Environmental Protection Administration in Taiwan. The workshop focused on the correct and effective application of forced-air technologies for the removal of vapor-phase contaminants. The first three training modules discuss technology selection, sampling and monitoring considerations, and how to make the cleanup more environmentally friendly. Five technology-specific modules address applicability, configurations, design considerations and data needs, operating principles, operational strategies, limitations, cross-sections and schematics, and construction and startup/operation.
