ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5137-3]
Invitation for Submittal to the Vendor Information System for
Innovative Treatment Technologies
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of invitation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA's Technology Innovation Office (TIO), of the Office of
Solid Waste and Emergency Response, is announcing an invitation for
submittal of new or updated information on innovative treatment
technologies for participation in the VISITT database Version 4.0. This
invitation is extended to technology vendors, developers,
manufacturers, suppliers of innovative treatment technology equipment
and services. VISITT is a database developed by EPA to disseminate
information on innovative treatment technologies for remediation of
soil and groundwater contaminated by hazardous wastes; it also provides
a means for treatment technology vendors to make their products and
capabilities known. VISITT 3.0, which was released in June, 1994,
contains information on 277 technologies offered by 171 vendors and is
expected to reach more than 10,000 users in over 60 countries. Vendors
can be included in this database by meeting the below mentioned
requirements and completing the Vendor Information Form.
DATES: Completed Vendor Information Form submitted by January 31, 1994
will be considered for inclusion in the VISITT 4.0 scheduled for
release in the summer of 1995.
ADDRESSES: To obtain the VISITT 4.0 Vendor Information Form (EPA-542-R-
94-004), call the EPA's National Center for Environmental Publications
and Information at (513) 891-6561 or fax your request at (513) 891-
6685. Submit completed forms to: VISITT System Operator, PRC
Environmental Management Inc., Suite 220, 1505 PRC Drive, McLean, VA
22102.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The VISITT Hotline at 1-800-245-4505.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA anticipates that VISITT will continue to
be used by professionals responsible for the cleanup of Superfund
sites, RCRA corrective action sites, state-led cleanups, federal
facility restoration programs, and remedial actions at leaking
underground storage tank (UST) sites in the United States, as well as
remediation projects abroad. The database will allow users to screen
technologies for consideration in engineering feasibility studies, and
to identify vendors who provide treatability studies and cleanup
services.
The database will contain information on vendors of innovative
technologies that treat ground water in-situ, as well as soils, sludge,
and sediments. Examples of technologies included are soil washing,
thermal desorption, bioremediation, solvent extraction, and in-situ
vitrification. VISITT will not include more established technologies
such as incineration, solidification/stabilization, and traditional
pump-and-treat ground water remediation. Also not included are
technologies applicable to industrial waste streams, such as waste
minimizing methods. Technologies may be at bench, pilot, or full scale.
VISITT will contain the following minimum vendor information, as
submitted in full by vendors: company information (name, address,
contacts, and phone number); technology description; technology
highlights and limitations; and applicable media, wastes and
contaminants.
Vendors must verify or update the information at least once a year
to remain in the database. The information contained in this invitation
for Submittal is approved by the Office of Management and Budget under
OMB Control Number 2050-0114.
