This on-demand video provides training on the use and implementation of several recently developed decision and management tools for DNAPL source zones. These tools collectively enable site managers to characterize the size and longevity of the contaminated plume, apply cost-effective remediation and monitoring techniques, and predict the duration of site remediation.

In collaboration with sustainability consultants, contractors, and military personnel, SERDP developed a Mission Sustainability Framework (MSF) and set of conceptual sustainability metrics that can be adapted to virtually any military installation across the United States and serve as a basis for a comprehensive military installation sustainability reporting system.

This legislatively mandated review of Department of Defense strategy and priorities points to SERDP’s ongoing efforts to develop climate change assessment tools and ESTCP’s demonstration of innovative energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies at military installations.

Geophysical system verification (GSV) moves resources from an upfront evaluation of geophysical systems to ongoing verification of system performance, building confidence that data generated throughout a munitions response project is meeting project objectives.

Issued by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics, the memo, Minimizing the Use of Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺), requires DoD to reduce usage of Cr⁶⁺ processes and materials while ensuring performance and cost-effectiveness continue to be met. To assist DoD organizations in meeting these requirements, the memo calls out ASETSDefense—Advanced Surface Engineering Technologies for a Sustainable Defense—as a resource for knowledge on RDT&E efforts and experience with alternatives.

This first volume in the Environmental Restoration Monograph Series provides a critical review of the past decade of intensive research, development, and technology demonstrations funded by SERDP, ESTCP, and others. It is designed to serve as a reference tool for remediation professionals to effectively apply in situ bioremediation of perchlorate in groundwater.

An ESTCP team has compiled a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document on chlorinated solvent site management that addresses 25 key questions, providing an overview of current knowledge regarding the management of subsurface chlorinated solvent releases. A seminar discussing this material also is available.

Through an ESTCP Pilot Program, the detection and classification capabilities of commercially available and emerging sensors are being demonstrated at a number of field sites under operational conditions. An animation describes the classification process, as well as the results from the first phase of the Pilot Program, a continuing effort that will span several years. For more information, visit the Classification Applied to Munitions Response page under Featured Initiatives.

Motivated by a Defense Science Board report and Congressional direction, ESTCP conducted a Wide Area Assessment (WAA) Pilot Program from 2005 through 2007. Results from the demonstrations show that the technologies are effective and provide strong evidence that, when applied to suspected munitions sites, they have the potential to separate parcels with extensive munitions use from those that show no evidence of munitions activity. To illustrate the various technologies used for land-based and underwater applications, two animations have been developed.
