In response to community requests for
technical consultants who specialize in working with communities
affected by environmental problems, CPEO has put together the Community Consultant Directory. We have listed
only independent technical consultants whose clients are mainly public
stakeholders. That is, these people have both environmental expertise
and experience in community outreach and organizing.
There are a number of state and federal programs, as well as local and
non-profit funding sources, that funding independent technical
assistance. We list here the two programs used most often by community
groups to hire and direct their own independent consultants.
The Environmental Protection Agency offers Technical Assistance Grants (TAG) for
community
stakeholders involved with a
Superfund or National Priorities List (NPL) sites. Community groups are
given up to $50,000 per award. Contact your Regional
TAG Coordinator for more information.
The Department of Defense sponsors the Technical Assistance for Public
Participation program to provide technical
assistance to local community members of Restoration Advisory Boards
(RABs). See the TAPP
Handbook or contact the Installation Co-Chair of your RAB for more
information.

- Each Technology Description in the Technology Tree
contains links to more detailed material about the technology or
projects demonstrating the technology. We have listed below web sites,
primarily sponsored by federal agencies, that describe a wide range of
environmental technologies, including those in the Tech Tree.
- Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE)
- The
Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE), through
its Technology Transfer Program offers an information avenue to help
its customers traverse the myriad of choices for applying existing and
innovative technologies in the fields of environmental restoration,
pollution prevention, military munitions response program (MMRP), and
compliance. The objective of this web site is to provide users with
simple and easily understood descriptions of successful remedial
technologies having undergone the process of formulation,
demonstration, and validation.
- Brownfields
Technology Support Center
- The
Brownfields and Land Revitalization Technology Support Center (BTSC,
formerly the Brownfields Technology Support Center) is a cooperative
effort to provide technical support to federal, state, local, and
tribal officials for questions related to the use of innovative
technologies and strategies for site assessment and cleanup.
- Cal/EPA Environmental Technology
- The
California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) is at the
forefront in creating new tools, new partnerships, and new ways to
foster the development of environmental technologies. Recognizing
technology’s key role, Cal/EPA’s initiatives nurture the development,
acceptance, and use of equipment, processes, and systems critical to
improved environmental performance, in California and throughout the
world.
- CLU-IN
Technology Focus
- The CLU-IN Technology Focus area bundles information
for particular
technologies that may be used in a variety of applications. This
information is presented in categories such as Overview, Guidance,
Application, Training, and Additional Resources. Technology Focus will
be continuously updated with information from federal cleanup programs,
state sources, universities, nonprofit organizations, peer-reviewed
publications, and public-private partnerships.
- Defense
Environmental Network and Information Exchange (DENIX)
- DENIX
serves as a gateway to a wide range of Defense Department environmental
information, including compliance, cleanup, munitions response, safety
& occupational health, , and natural resource management.

Security Technology Certification Program
- ESTCP
is the Defense Department’s environmental technology demonstration and
validation program. The Program was established in 1995 to promote the
transfer of innovative technologies that have successfully established
proof of concept to field or production use. ESTCP demonstrations
collect cost and performance data to overcome the barriers to employ an
innovative technology because of concerns regarding technical or
programmatic risk.
- Federal Remedial
Technologies Roundtable
- The Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable
(FRTR) works to
build a collaborative atmosphere among federal agencies involved in
hazardous waste site cleanup. FRTR was established in 1990 to bring
together top federal cleanup program managers and other remediation
community representatives.
