Researcher to demonstrate new technology for cleaning up hazardous waste

emonstrate that our system is quicker and more economical than the most commonly used methods today," Boving said.

The Department of Defense controls about 28,000 sites that must be cleaned up, and at least 500 of those contain the contaminants on which Bovings system works best. In addition, there are thousands of other sites around the country that also need cleaning. The government estimates it will cost about $1 trillion to clean up all of them.

A military installation in Virginia was selected as the field demonstration site for Bovings technology demonstration. Beginning in May, his team will conduct preliminary testing of the soils and groundwater at the test site and prepare the field study. The actual field test will be done shortly afterward and will continue for three to four months during summer of 2002.

"There is a tremendous amount of work to do to clean up the thousands of toxic sites in the country," he said. "Obtaining the militarys seal of approval for our system is a big step in the right direction for us."
