Possibilities and Realities in Leveraging Innovative Technologies and Techniques to Meet Aggressive Remediation Timelines and Performance Goals

Abstract

Department of Defense's (DoD's) "90% Response Complete by 30 Sep 2018" can serve as a vision, a call to action, and a means to focus resources to achieve a radically new future. Will this Response Complete goal catalyze innovation, or will it bolster the"tried and true?" Do the needed technologies and techniques already exist? If so, where are they? How can the remedial innovative technology community overcome barriers to adoption and effective implementation? What can other federal agencies with cleanup responsibilities learn from DoD and what can they offer DoD? This presentation will explore both the realities and possibilities associated with innovation as way to rapidly achieve Remedial Action Objectives at sites.
