Nanotechnology for Site Remediation: Fact Sheet (EPA 542-F-08-009). This fact sheet presents a snapshot of nanotechnology and its current uses in remediation. Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. As a remediation tool, nanotechnology holds promise in remediating sites cost effectively and addressing challenging site conditions. The information presented in this fact sheet should prove useful to site project managers seeking to understand the potential applications of this group of technologies at their sites. The fact sheet includes information on sites where nanoparticles have been tested for site remediation and identifies contacts, such as vendors or project managers with field experience, to facilitate networking.

State Coalition for Remediation of Drycleaners (SCRD) 10-Year Accomplishments Report (EPA 542-R-08-004). This report documents SCRD's work since 1998 in fostering collaboration among the states to improve and ensure the effectiveness of the cleanup of environmental contamination from drycleaner sites with support from EPA's Technology Innovation and Field Services Division and the National Ground Water Association. SCRD is composed of 13 states-Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin-that have enacted formal drycleaner remediation programs and other states that are active in the remediation of drycleaner sites under other authorities, including state voluntary cleanup and brownfields programs.

Technology News and Trends (EPA 542-N-08-005). This issue highlights innovative approaches for addressing contaminated sediment sites. Elements of these approaches include sediment dewatering through use of geotextile containers, designed armor stone layers in caps to withstand harsh surface and subsurface conditions, new models to predict navigational vessel impacts on cap performance, and placement of caps in very thin lifts over soft sediments.
