EPA created the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program to facilitate the deployment of innovative technologies through performance verification and information dissemination. The goal of the ETV Program is to further environmental protection by substantially accelerating the acceptance and use of improved and cost-effective technologies. The ETV Program is intended to assist and inform those involved in the design, distribution, permitting, and purchase of environmental technologies. This program is administered by the EPA's National Exposure Research Laboratory in Las Vegas, Nevada. For the verification of explosives field analytical technologies, ETV is working in partnership with the Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP). ESTCP's goal is to demonstrated and validate promising, innovative technologies that target DoD's most urgent environmental needs. ETV and ESTCP can meet their common goal by working with technology developers in planning and conducting demonstrations, evaluating the data generated, and promoting acceptance of the technology. This technology demonstration plan has been developed to describe the verification of field analytical technologies for the determination of explosives compounds in contaminated soil and groundwater. Technologies from Barringer Instruments (GC-IONSCAN) and Research International Inc. (FAST 2()()O) will be evaluated. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will serve as the verification organization for the demonstration, with the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory providing technical guidance and support. ORNL's role is to provide technical and administrative leadership in conducting the demonstration.
