Top 10 Websites for Hazardous Waste Management:

Hazardous Waste Clean-up Information (CLU-IN); USEPA Technology Innovation Office. The Hazardous Waste Clean-up Information Web Site provides information about innovative treatment technologies to the hazardous waste remediation community. It describes programs, organizations, publications and other tools for federal and state personnel, consulting engineers, technology developers and vendors, remediation contractors, researchers, community groups, and individual citizens. The site is managed by EPA's Technology Innovation Office and is intended as a forum for all waste remediation stakeholders
EPA Reach It; EPA REACH IT is a new system designed to search, view, download, and print information about innovative remediation and characterization technologies.
Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable; The Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable is an interagency working group seeking to build a more collaborative atmosphere among the federal agencies involved in hazardous waste site remediation.
Ground-Water Remediation Technologies Analysis Center; The Groundwater Remediation Technologies Analysis Center (GWRTAC) compiles, analyzes, and disseminates information on innovative ground-water remediation technologies. GWRTAC prepares reports by technical teams selectively chosen from Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC), the University of Pittsburgh, and other supporting institutions, and also maintains an active outreach program.
The Remediation Technologies Development Forum; The Remediation Technologies Development Forum (RTDF) was established in 1992 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify what government and industry can do together to develop and improve the environmental technologies needed to address their mutual cleanup problems in the safest, most cost-effective manner.
Superfund InnovativeTechnology Evaluation (SITE) Program; The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund InnovativeTechnology Evaluation (SITE) Program was established by EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response and the Office of Research and Development (ORD) in response to the 1986 Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, which recognized a need for an "Alternative or Innovative Treatment Technology Research and Demonstration Program."
United States Department of Energy, Office of Environmental Management, Office of Science and Technology; The Office of Science and Technology mission is to provide the full range of Science & Technology resources and capabilities, from basic research to development, and from demonstration and deployment to technical assistance, needed to deliver and support fully developed, deployable scientific and technological solutions to Environmental Management cleanup and long-term environmental stewardship problems.
Interstate Technology and Regulatory Cooporation; ITRC is a state-led national coalition dedicated to achieving better environmental protection through the use of innovative technologies. ITRC helps regulatory agencies and technology developers, vendors, and users reduce the technical and regulatory barriers to the deployment of new environmental technologies. ITRC products and services are building the collective confidence of the environmental community about using new technologies.
Strategic Environmental Research Development Program; SERDP projects focus on Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Energy (DOE) needs in four thrust areas: Cleanup, Compliance, Pollution Prevention, and Conservation. Fact sheets for ongoing and completed projects are available for each thrust area.
Environmental Technology Verification Program; The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has instituted a new program, the Environmental Technology Verification Program - or ETV - to verify the performance of innovative technical solutions to problems that threaten human health or the environment.
