The Advanced Remediation Technologies program (ART) is a competitive process
initially mandated by Congress in FY 2005; they directed DOE “… to conduct a
competitive evaluation of the various advanced remediation technologies available
in the private sector.” The project was structured into two phases. In Phase I,
the selected projects were intended to develop a technical approach for
demonstration; provide appropriate test results for their technology; develop
scale-up plans and an implementation schedule; start detailed system design;
estimate the cost for implementation of the technologies at selected DOE site or
sites. Phase II will require a pilot/full-scale demonstration of the technology,
preferably at a DOE site. The demonstration of a characterization and monitoring
technical approach is expected to conform to the site’s management and operating
contractor’s Environmental Safety and Health (ES&H) requirements.
