The following is the first in a series of articles on various efforts to encourage and support innovation in hazardous waste treatment technologies for sites and affected groundwater. This article provides a brief discussion of the origins of the U.S. EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Technology Innovation Office (TIO), its mission, and the major initiatives underway or under contemplation. Subsequent articles will provide progress reports on these initiatives and other activities related to technology innovation by federal and state regulators, technology developers, responsible parties, the engineering community, and other interested parties.
以下是一系列文章中的第一篇,这些文章涉及为场地及受影响的地下水鼓励和支持危险废物处理技术创新的各种努力。本文简要讨论了美国环境保护局(EPA)固体废物与应急响应办公室(OSWER)技术创新办公室(TIO)的起源、其使命以及正在进行或正在考虑的主要举措。后续文章将提供这些举措的进展报告,以及联邦和州监管机构、技术开发商、责任方、工程界及其他相关方与技术创新有关的其他活动的进展报告。
