Subject: | [CPEO-BIF] EPA report on cleanup needs released |
In a new report, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that as many as 350,000 contaminated sites may require cleanup during the next 30 years, with cost reaching some $250 billion. The Agency´s estimates are contained in the report, "Cleaning Up the Nation´s Waste Sites: Markets and Technology Trends." The report covers seven major cleanup programs: Superfund, RCRA Corrective Action, DoD, DOE, USTs, Civilian Federal Agencies, and State Voluntary cleanup programs. For each program, the report examines the following: * Market description: nature of the program and regulatory requirements and practices * Market size: number of sites and cost of cleanup work needed * Site characteristics: contaminants, media, and other factors that affect technology demand * Economic, political, and technical factors that affect demand for cleanup services * Relevant technology trends and issues by market segment The report can be downloaded at http://www.clu-in.org/market Bob Hersh CPEO _______________________________________________ Brownfields mailing list Brownfields@list.cpeo.org http://www.cpeo.org/mailman/listinfo/brownfields | |
