EPA Key Research Needs

Hi Res Goes Horizontal

Emerging Contaminants Characterization and Remediation

Continued Development, Deployment and Dissection of In Situ Treatment Technologies

Recent Technology Developments

EPA investment in remediation R&D is small, so we’re counting on you, academia and the vendor community

In Situ Sensors and Tools for Hi Res

More Mergers of Chem and Bio

Leveraging Nano for Hot Spots

FRTR Has Benefitted EPA

A forum when no other existed, comms tools were old school

Safe venue

When other environmental initiatives have taken the headlines, we’re still plugging away and need each other
