The Center for Sustainable Groundwater and Soil Solutions is the hub of the applied science and technology development program for the Department of Energy’s (DOE) EM-32 Office of Groundwater and Soil Remediation. The Center is managed and operated by the Savannah River National Laboratory with participation by numerous other federal and nonfederal organizations. The Center’s goal is to develop, demonstrate, and transfer technologies and strategies that address the DOE’s priority environmental risks, as well as those risks faced by private and public organizations nationally. To reach that goal, scientific and technical advances are balanced with nontechnical realities of implementation (e.g., safety, cost, stakeholder needs, sustainability, and collateral effects). A key philosophy held by Center personnel is that one should develop solutions that synergistically combine technologies, meet remedial objectives, minimize the problem, have minimal negative collateral environmental impacts, and emphasize low energy use and sustainability. srnl.doe.gov/csgss/
The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is DoD’s environmental technology demonstration and validation program. The Program’s goal is to identify and demonstrate cost-effective technologies that address DoD’s highest priority environmental requirements. Demonstrations are carried out at DoD facilities and sites to document improved efficiency, reduced liability, and direct cost savings. Innovative technologies are reducing the cost of environmental remediation and compliance, lowering life-cycle costs of weapons systems, and managing the impact of DoD’s operations on the environment, while enhancing military readiness. www.estcp.org

North Wind specializes in, among other things, the application of cutting-edge in situ and ex situ remediation strategies for a variety of contaminants in groundwater, soils, sediments, and surface water. North Wind’s staff also have developed and applied state-of-the-art operational strategies and microbial characterization techniques to facilitate a deeper understanding of bioremediation leading to reduced operations and maintenance costs. North Wind provides superior technical services that combine demonstrated and innovative techniques with a team of dedicated and qualified personnel to safely and cost-effectively meet or exceed all commitments and attain total customer satisfaction. www.northwind-inc.com
Regenesis is the global leader in advanced technologies for the proven and low-cost remediation of contaminated groundwater and soil. In 1994, the Company initiated its first directive, to lower the cost of petroleum hydrocarbon treatment by significantly reducing (and in some cases eliminating) remediation system design, installation, and operation/maintenance. During this period, Regenesis pioneered the use of controlled-release oxygen for enhanced, in situ, aerobic bioremediation with the introduction of Oxygen Release Compound (ORC®). Since then, Regenesis has continued to revolutionize in situ remediation with a diverse range of cost-effective technologies such as RegenOx™ in situ chemical oxidation, Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC®) and Metals Remediation Compound (MRC®). To date, environmental professionals around the globe have successfully applied Regenesis products at more than 16,000 project sites worldwide.

RNAS was founded in 1998 as a bioremediation consulting company. Our experience led us to practical solutions for successful enhanced bioremediation. To avoid potential conflicts of interest with our consultant clients, RNAS now focuses exclusively on providing high-quality bioremediation products. RNAS was the first company to manufacture emulsified vegetable oil for bioremediation. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing methods (U.S. Patent 6,806,078) produce kinetically stable emulsions with the smallest submicron oil droplets in the industry. Since the first injection in March 2002, millions of pounds of Newman Zone® have been successfully applied at hundreds of sites. For aerobic remediation, RNAS provides the low-cost, low-maintenance oxygenation system O2Zone® (U.S. Patent 6,561,497). Neutral Zone®, an insoluble colloidal buffer, also is now available to address low pH at bioremediation sites or sites where pH is the primary contaminant. Please contact us (763-585-6191) or visit our website for technical support or further information. www.RNASinc.com
The Strategic Environmental Research & Development Program (SERDP) is DoD’s environmental science and technology program, planned and executed in partnership with DOE and EPA, with participation by numerous other federal and nonfederal organizations. The Program invests across the broad spectrum of basic and applied research, as well as exploratory development. SERDP focuses on cross-service requirements and pursues solutions to the Department’s most intractable environmental problems. Advances in the understanding and management of DoD’s resources support the long-term sustainability of training and testing ranges and facilities. Innovative environmental technologies significantly reduce current and future environmental liabilities. Advances in science and technology improve both the environment and the military performance of DoD systems. www.serdp.org
