Where are we?
Opportunities and Challenges
• What are the priorities?– Needs of DoD– Potential to impact cleanup program
• Lets be proactive not reactive
• DNAPL• Molecular Biology• Sediments• Emerging Contaminants• UXO
Chlorinated Solvents
• Drive the costs of DoD groundwater cleanup
• Decisions on DNAPL are critical– Cleanup objectives– Remedy selection– Remedy design and
optimization
• Science based engineering decisions– Technology applications– Assessing remedies
• Short and long term– Monitoring performance
Field Application of Molecular Biological Tools
• Explosion of techniques– Fundamentally changed
laboratory microbiology
• Can they truly impact the field?– Design, Monitoring and
Assessment
• What decisions will they affect?
• How reliable are they?
Contaminated Sediments
• Over 200 Navy sites– $1B liability
• Sediment treatment option are limited– Large complex sites
– Ecologically complex
• Need for in-situ management options– Science based risk
management
Emerging Groundwater Contaminants
• Perchlorate is here what is next?– N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)– 1,4 Dioxane– 1,2,3 Tricholropropane (TCP)– ....?
• All probable human carcinogens
• All highlighted by regulatory agencies
• Uncertain distribution but may be widespread
• All are persistent and mobile
• We need to be proactive not reactive
Unexploded Ordnance(UXO)
• UXO Contamination of land and water– >20 million acres– > 3300 sites– >$20B liability
• R&D Objectives– Wide Area Assessment– Detection & Discrimination– Land and Water– Recovery and Disposal– Planning and Support
• Critical technical decisions– Impact in the $billions
Wide Area Assessment
• Challenge of managing >20M acres– Most is contamination
free• But which part?
• How do we decide on no further action?– Visible – Defensible– Reproducible
• The key is technology

MEASUREDMODEL
• Challenge of decisions based on limited data– Cost effective cleanup
maximizes risk reduction
• Risk is not static• How do we decide to
dig or not?– Visible– Defensible– Reproducible
• The key is technology
Underwater UXO
• Challenge of managing risk in a dangerous environment
• Two primary risk drivers:– Explosive safety– Environmental toxicity
• Management actions– Assess risk– Mitigate when necessary
• What is the science?• What are the real technical
options?
Opportunities
• Remediation is a knowledge based industry– Science can impact near term
• Rigorous field trials are critical– Validated information
• Rapid transfer of information is critical– Decisions need to be made
• SERDP-ESTCP-ITRC– A partnership that works
