  1. SERDP- ESTCP- ITRC A PARTNERSHIP Dr. Jeffrey Marqusee Jeffrey.Marqusee@osd.mil ESTCP, Director SERDP, Technical Director

  2. Demonstration / Validation • Basic and Applied Research DoD’s Environmental Technology Programs

  3. Environmental Quality Munitions Management Weapons Systems & Platforms Environmental Restoration Sustainable Infrastructure

  7. DoD Cleanup Funding Fiscal Year

  8. Where are we?

  9. Opportunities and Challenges • What are the priorities? • Needs of DoD • Potential to impact cleanup program • Lets be proactive not reactive • DNAPL • Molecular Biology • Sediments • Emerging Contaminants • UXO

  10. Drive the costs of DoD groundwater cleanup Decisions on DNAPL are critical Cleanup objectives Remedy selection Remedy design and optimization Science based engineering decisions Technology applications Assessing remedies Short and long term Monitoring performance Chlorinated Solvents

  11. Explosion of techniques Fundamentally changed laboratory microbiology Can they truly impact the field? Design, Monitoring and Assessment What decisions will they affect? How reliable are they? Field Application of Molecular Biological Tools

  12. Over 200 Navy sites $1B liability Sediment treatment option are limited Large complex sites Ecologically complex Need for in-situ management options Science based risk management Contaminated Sediments

  13. Emerging Groundwater Contaminants • Perchlorate is here what is next? • N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) • 1,4 Dioxane • 1,2,3 Tricholropropane (TCP) • ....? • All probable human carcinogens • All highlighted by regulatory agencies • Uncertain distribution but may be widespread • All are persistent and mobile • We need to be proactive not reactive

  14. Unexploded Ordnance(UXO) • UXO Contamination of land and water • >20 million acres • > 3300 sites • >$20B liability • R&D Objectives • Wide Area Assessment • Detection & Discrimination • Land and Water • Recovery and Disposal • Planning and Support • Critical technical decisions • Impact in the $billions

  15. Challenge of managing >20M acres Most is contamination free But which part? How do we decide on no further action? Visible Defensible Reproducible The key is technology site  68,000 acres Target #6 AUX 2 Air Strip Bomb Camp AUX 1 Target #3 Target #5 75 mm Range (suspected) AUX 4 Target #2 Target #4 Target #1 Pueblo Precision Bombing Range #2 FFID: CO89799F058600 FUDS Site: B08CO071501 Wide Area Assessment

  16. Challenge of decisions based on limited data Cost effective cleanup maximizes risk reduction Risk is not static How do we decide to dig or not? Visible Defensible Reproducible The key is technology MEASURED MODEL Characterize Identify Classify Document UXO Discrimination Complex Risk Decisions

  17. Underwater UXO • Challenge of managing risk in a dangerous environment • Two primary risk drivers: • Explosive safety • Environmental toxicity • Management actions • Assess risk • Mitigate when necessary • What is the science? • What are the real technical options?

  18. Opportunities • Remediation is a knowledge based industry • Science can impact near term • Rigorous field trials are critical • Validated information • Rapid transfer of information is critical • Decisions need to be made • SERDP-ESTCP-ITRC • A partnership that works

  19. Sponsored by SERDP and ESTCP Partners in Environmental Technology Technical Symposium and Workshop November 28 – 30, 2006 Marriott Wardman Park Hotel Washington, D.C.
