INTRODUCTION

This report provides an overview of the Phase III Pilot Study on the Evaluation of Demonstrated and

Emerging Technologies for Treatment and Clean Up of Contaminated Land and Groundwater. It also

contains the key conclusions of the Pilot Study and recommendations for further action. Detailed

information on the pilot study can be found in the annual reports located on the NATO/CCMS web site.

The Phase III Pilot Study was proposed to NATO by the United States Environmental Protection Agency

(U.S. EPA) at the Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society's (CCMS) plenary session in 1997.

Member countries voted on and accepted the proposal at the same meeting. Participating countries were:

• NATO: Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy,

Norway, Portugal, Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States.

• EPAC: Armenia, Austria, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, and Switzerland.

• Others: Australia, Japan.

The study was conducted under the joint leadership of the United States, the Federal Republic of

Germany, and the Netherlands. It was co-chaired by Mr. Stephen James and Dr. Walter Kovalick, Jr., of

U.S. EPA. Dr. Deniz Beten, Director of CCMS Programs, provided liaison with the NATO/CCMS

secretariat. Additional information on CCMS and the Pilot Studies may be obtained from the Country

Representatives listed at the end of this document.

The Pilot Study Group held a total of five meetings during the course of the study. During these meetings,

countries submitted candidate projects that were discussed and voted on for inclusion in the study based

on criteria agreed upon by the participating countries. In-depth interim and final report presentations on

the implementation and results of these projects were made during the international meetings and

summarized in meeting proceedings.

Each project was planned and executed by the responsible organization, with project funding from the

various government and non-government organizations involved. The costs of participating in

international meetings and preparing project reports were generally met by these organizations concerned,

which in many cases were private companies.

Each international conference included host country presentations and a tour de table, during which

member countries discussed developments in national legislation, regulations, and research and

development programs. In addition, recognized experts in diverse technical fields gave invited papers

related to the challenges of soil and groundwater remediation, and CCMS Fellows provided presentations

and written reports on their work. These reports from Fellows were published as part of the proceedings

of the international meetings.

In addition, the Pilot Study hosted a special seminar at each meeting on a technical topic chosen by

consensus of the countries. Each seminar was an in-depth treatment of a newly emerging subject related

to remediation with presentations by experts from industry, government, and academia. The seminars

lasted one and one-half days each and, after the first year, were co-chaired by a North American and

European expert. A report of the proceedings was published for each special seminar.

The Pilot Study published two documents and one CD each year to enhance the real-time nature of

information transfer. The Annual Report summarized the results of interim and final project presentation

reports and the tour de table presentation by each country. The second document was the proceedings of

the special seminar. A CD was also published annually with all other meeting presentations from each

year (including the Fellows) and all reports from the preceding year(s). Multiple copies of all of these

documents and CD’s were distributed to country representatives and NATO headquarters to insure the
NATO/CCMS Pilot Project on Contaminated Land and Groundwater (Phase III) January 2003

widest possible distribution of the results of the Pilot Study. A final CD will be produced that documents

all pilot study reporting. These reports will also be available on the NATO/CCMS web site.

The various Pilot Study activities resulted in extensive transfer of study findings to potential users of new

remediation technologies and to a wider technical and administrative audience. They also increased the

exchange of ideas on technology needs and fostered greater contact between experts and decision-makers

within both member and nonmember countries.

1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The problem of land and groundwater contamination from improper handling and disposal of hazardous

materials and wastes is faced by all countries. Many countries have committed resources to developing

advanced, innovative remediation technologies and to evaluating them under field conditions. The

ongoing challenge is how to maximize the value of these technology demonstrations and effectively

transfer the technologies both within and between countries. In addition, there has been an increasing

recognition of the need for approaches not dependent on advanced technologies and for technologies that

can be cost-effectively employed in the socioeconomic circumstances of Eastern and Central Europe and

developing countries, especially Central Asia.

The purpose of this NATO/CCMS pilot study was to identify, discuss, and review innovative, emerging,

and alternative technologies, and to transfer technical performance and economic information to potential

users of these technologies. A specific objective of the study was to identify “lessons learned” from the

technology demonstrations—both the successes and those that illustrated technology failures or limitations. The latter type of information is rarely presented in conferences or discussed in the technical

literature, but is very important for making informed decisions involving critical time and monetary

requirements. It is also useful for defining priorities in research and development programs.

2. RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER CCMS PROGRAMS

2.1 The CCMS Fellowship Program

The CCMS Fellowship Program made an important contribution to the success of the Phase III Pilot

Study, as it did to the two earlier Pilot Studies on the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater.

It facilitated participation of several experts, including experts from countries that would otherwise not

have had a presence in the Pilot Study. The participation of these experts enabled a wider range of topics

to be covered.

Twelve NATO Fellowships were awarded under this Pilot Study. All of the Fellows attended one or more

meetings of the Pilot Study Group and played an active part in the discussions.

The Fellows came from private, university, and governmental organizations. The following countries

were represented by fellows: Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, the Netherlands,

Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and the United States. Their activities covered a range of topics related to the

Pilot Study, including an examination of the national approach to such problems as legal issues, costs and

economics, innovative approaches to large-scale remediation projects, and assessment of the performance

of treatment methods via modeling.

2.2 CCMS Study Visit Program

Participation by a number of individuals, including expert speakers, was made possible by the provision

of travel funds through the CCMS Study Visit Program.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The Pilot Study Group examined 33 different remediation technology projects from 12 countries during

the five-year program. The projects encompassed in situ and ex situ biological, physical-chemical, and

thermal treatment technologies. Many of the projects involved two or more technologies, either in

integrated treatment systems or in parallel treatment. The reports on these projects revealed an ongoing

evolution of innovative and advanced technologies. The Pilot Study is believed to have been instrumental

in facilitating this development.

Nonmember countries, including members of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EPAC) and Japan

took increasing interest in and participated in the Phase III Pilot Study.

The Pilot Study was designed to provide participants with a broader view of the remediation technology

development and deployment strategies of other countries to help them focus their own approaches.

Technology transfer from the Pilot Study was promoted by distribution of meeting reports and CD’s by

the country representatives in their countries, involving members in conferences and symposia, and

publishing papers in professional journals. Some examples of these activities include the following:

• Annual Reports of the Pilot Study meetings, Special Seminar reports, and CD’s containing all

documents on a cumulative basis were provided annually to country representatives (nominated by

their respective countries for participation in the meetings) to duplicate and distribute within their

countries, as needed.

• The German Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection, and Reactor Safety (Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit–BMU) commissioned one CCMS Fellow to

prepare a report of the meeting held in 2000 in Wiesbaden and a review of research needs. This report

was widely circulated in Germany.

• During the Pilot Study meetings, participants visited waste treatment and disposal facilities, ongoing

site cleanup projects, and research institutions. These activities stimulated the participation of private

companies in the Pilot Study and enlarged the network of international experts and increased their

interactions.

• The Pilot Study Director and Co-Directors developed and provided annual meeting reports and

special session reports to NATO/CCMS for distribution to member and other countries.

• The Co-Directors and other members of the Pilot Study presented invited papers and special sessions

at national and international technology conferences and symposia including: the 4th International

Symposiums on Environmental Contamination in Central and Eastern Europe (Warsaw - 1998) and

the International Conference on Contaminated Soil (ConSoil) held in Edinburgh in 1998 and Leipzig

in 2000.

Close liaison was maintained throughout the study with other international groups dealing with the

problems of contaminated land including:

• The CCMS Pilot Study on the Environmental Aspects of Reusing Military Lands at its meetings in

Warsaw and Tallinn (1998) and the CCMS/EPAC Workshop on Miliary Activities and the

Environment in Warsaw (1998);

• NICOLE (the Network for Industrially Contaminated Land in Europe), an industry supported

consortium interested in contaminated land research and remediation issues;

• The German-United States Bilateral Working Group on Sustainable Land Management, which is a

joint R & D effort of the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (Bundesministerium
NATO/CCMS Pilot Project on Contaminated Land and Groundwater (Phase III) January 2003

fur Bildung und Forschung–BMBF) and the U.S. EPA. The working group focuses on joint

performance testing of technologies and joint development of strategies and tools for site

redevelopment

Presentations and informal discussions at Pilot Study meetings by representatives of:

• CLARINET (the European Union’s Contaminated Land Rehabilitation Network for Environmental

Technologies in Europe)

• United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, Chemical Industry Program dealing with

remediation issues

• EU Research Directorate

• UNIDO, International Centre for Science and High Technology (ICS)

Finally, the Pilot Study was instrumental in facilitating discussions and networking that contributed to the

creation of the following international and national forums:

• The “Ad hoc International Working Group” on Contaminated Land, which grew out of discussions

among country representatives attending the NATO/CCMS meetings. The Working Group exists to

provide a forum—open to any country—in which the issues and problems of contaminated land and

groundwater can be discussed at a national level and information can be freely exchanged to the

benefit of all participants;

• The Common Forum on Contaminated Land in the European Union, RUBIN (Reactive Wall and

Barrier Projects Cooperating in a Network) sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Education

and Research (Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung–BMBF)

• The newly created EU-project, European Sustainable Land and Groundwater Management

Information System (EUGRIS), which began in 2002.

4. TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

4.1 Introduction

There were 33 active projects in the Pilot Study. Summary information on each project is provided in the

Annual Reports. The project summaries provide a technical abstract, which summarizes the project's

progress and results, but is not a critical review of the project. The summaries also provide the name of a

technical contact for further information.

While the objective of the Pilot Study was to evaluate applications of particular technologies, many of the

projects involved more than one technology. Some involved the use of integrated treatment systems

combining more than one technology, and others involved the application of more than one technology to

deal with separate aspects of site contamination. Some projects involved monitoring technologies. One of

the special sessions also addressed monitoring approaches and technologies.

Because the projects are classified below in a variety of ways, they may be counted two or three times,

and not all projects may be included in each analysis. Furthermore, the categorization of projects is a

matter of judgment, and alternative categorizations may be possible. The projects are classified as

follows:

• By the development status (laboratory, field, actual cleanup);

• Whether they are in situ or ex situ technologies, or a combination of both;

• By the type used (biological, chemical, physical);

• By the contaminants treated (VOCs, PAHs, etc.); and

• By media: soil or groundwater.

4.2 Development Status

All of the 33 projects were technology-based. The Pilot Study accepted technical projects in two areas of

development: “emerging” and “demonstration.” For the purposes of the Pilot Study, an emerging

technology is defined as bench-scale, while a demonstrated technology is one implemented at field- or

full-scale. Demonstrated technologies are usually at or near to commercial application. Eight of the

projects were emerging technologies.

4.3 In Situ and Ex Situ Technologies

There were 19 projects using in situ technologies. The remaining were ex-situ or monitoring technologies.

4.4 Technology Types

For the purposes of the Pilot Study, the technologies described in each technical project were broadly

classified as one of five types: biological, chemical, physical-chemical, stabilization/solidification, or

thermal.

The classification of projects was as follows (some projects were counted twice):

Technology

Type

Number of

Projects

Examples of Technologies

Biological 17 monitored natural attenuation, bio-reactors, phytoremediation, composting, white rot fungi

Physical-Chemical 17 reactive barriers, soil washing, solvent extraction,

surfactant removal

Chemical 2 chemical oxidation, pyrolysis/oxidation

Thermal 3 thermal desorption, in-situ thermal

Stabilization/Solidification 3 chemical fixation

Other 2 monitoring, excavation

4.5 Contaminants Treated

The projects were concerned with the treatment of the following contaminants polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, and BTEX compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and

xylenes), heavy metals (such as mercury lead, cadmium, zinc), petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides,

cyanides, coal tars, tanning wastes, TNT, and organic solvents.

5. SPECIAL SEMINARS

As discussed above, the Pilot Study hosted a special technical seminar at each annual meeting. The

subjects for each special seminar and the name and countries of each of the co-chairpersons are listed

below:

1998 Treatment Walls and Permeable Reactive Barriers Harald Burmeier Germany

1999 Monitored Natural Attenuation Fran Kremer United States

Anja Sinke Netherlands

2000 Decision Support Tools Paul Bardos United Kingdom

Terry Sullivan United States

2001 Performance Verification of In Situ Remediation Robert Siegrist United States

Technologies Bert Satijn Netherlands

2002 Cost-Effective Tools for Site Characterization and Eric Koglin United States

Long-Term Monitoring Georg Teutsch Germany

6. FOLLOW-ON PILOT STUDY

The country representatives and other participants in the Pilot Study agreed on the merit of a follow-on

Pilot Study—both for those countries having established programs to address contaminated land and for

those who have more recently begun to address contamination problems, such as countries in Central and

Eastern Europe. Recognizing the broader issues of both preventing and remediating contaminated soil and

groundwater, the country representatives also wanted to focus the policy and technical information on

specific industrial sectors, rather than on technologies for remediation only. This would allow the results

of the future Pilot Study to be of direct assistance to countries with affected industrial sectors.

Thus, a new CCMS Pilot Study entitled Prevention and Remediation Issues in Selected Industrial

Sectors is proposed. The purpose of the proposed pilot study would be to define and explore best

practices for reducing the health and environmental impact on soil and groundwater from industrial

sectors of interest (e.g., metals mining, organic chemical production, gasworks, and fertilizer

manufacturing) as well as other unique site “types” (e.g., old landfills, privatization sites [i.e., facilities

transitioning from former state ownership in certain categories], mega sites [i.e., large scale former

industrial and mining facilities], and shoreline sediment sites). In reviewing case studies as well as

experience from the current pilot study on contaminated land and other sources, the proposed pilot study

may be able to assess or benchmark “what is easy to clean,” “what is difficult to clean,” and “what is

impossible, at reasonable cost, to clean.”

7. CONCLUSIONS

This Phase III Pilot Study again demonstrated the benefits of exchanging technical and economic

information on contaminated land and groundwater remediation technologies. The conclusions are based

on the deliberations of the Pilot Study Group, case studies, expert speaker presentations, and special

studies carried out by Fellows of the Pilot Study. The conclusions are of two types and are listed below:

7.1 Non-Technical Conclusions

1. Countries are recognizing soil as a resource and an important part of the living environment.

2. Soil protection is being recognized as an important policy area because of the high cost of clean up

after contamination.
NATO/CCMS Pilot Project on Contaminated Land and Groundwater (Phase III) January 2003

7

3. Clean up approaches driven by acceptable residual risk are becoming much more common than

uniform, country-wide or region-wide strategies.

4. Policy flexibility by regulators creates the best opportunities for innovative solutions to soil and

groundwater contamination problems.

5. The Pilot Study served as an incubator for several important new soil contamination organizations

and networks (principally European) as well as an important new network for many NATO Partner

countries.

7.2 Technical Conclusions

1. Remediation strategies in a number of countries are moving from technology focused treatment

processes to increasing use of land use management and diverse approaches such as natural

attenuation.

2. Approaches like phytoremediation or monitored natural attenuation may frequently require longer

periods of time to clean up sites. Therefore, future remedial activities need to balance the time factor

with other site clean up needs.

3. These longer time frames highlight new needs for extended project management, long-term

monitoring, documentation, and financing for such long-term projects.

4. Public outreach for long-term clean up actions poses special challenges in risk communication and the

ability to engage stakeholders over long periods of time.

5. Technical approaches for clean up are focusing more on in-situ, area-wide approaches vs. ex-situ, site

specific approaches.

6. Integrated treatment systems are still necessary in order to provide lower cost and more effective site

remediation solutions for complex sites.

7. Site clean up management strategies are moving from stepwise thinking (i.e., characterize,

remediate, monitor) to more integrated approaches involving systematic planning and monitoring

throughout the clean up.

8. Independent evaluation and verification of technologies and approaches and uniform data collection

approaches are being developed and are a valuable resource for increasing acceptance of new

technologies and approaches.

9. Remediation costs have been significantly reduced due to a better understanding of the problem and

technological improvements; however, further application experience should help in lowering costs

further.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS

1) The CCMS is invited by the Pilot Study Directors to commend this Phase III Pilot Study Summary

Report to the NATO Council for approval.

All the participants in this phase of the study are commended for their professionalism, technical

expertise, and cooperation. The Pilot Study Directors particularly thank the two co-pilot countries,

Germany and The Netherlands, for their assistance. The CCMS Fellows are complimented on their

technical quality and personal input to the Pilot Study. The Special Seminars were a major success in

stimulating discussion between participants, and the Directors thank those that chaired these sessions.

Over and above the technical successes of the Pilot Study, camaraderie was established between
NATO/CCMS Pilot Project on Contaminated Land and Groundwater (Phase III) January 2003

participants leading to extensive exchanges of information outside of the Pilot Study. The progress of the

Study was reported via annual meeting reports and special session reports. These reports were distributed

via printed copies, CDs, and through Internet availability. Reports were distributed by NATO/CCMS,

participating countries and at conferences in North America and Europe. Consequently, the CCMS is

invited to commend the Summary Report to member governments and to the governments of the EPAC

and other countries drawing their attention to the technical information, conclusions, and

recommendations it contains.

2) The CCMS is requested to encourage participation of NATO and non-NATO countries in a proposed

follow on Pilot Study – Prevention and Remediation Issues in Selected Industrial Sectors.

The participation of EPAC and other non-NATO countries has been a feature of the Phase III Pilot Study

with mutual benefit to all involved. The Pilot Study co-pilot countries will continue to elicit formal

participation in the follow on Pilot Study by additional countries known to have contaminated land and

groundwater programs.

CCMS is requested to draw the attention of member countries to the way in which formal participation

can open doors for researchers, regulators, and others from within and outside government to high quality

technology and information exchange activities and to an extensive network of professional contacts. The

CCMS is asked to encourage member countries to adopt formal observer status, even if the countries wish

to have only minimal active participation at an official level.

3) The follow on Pilot Study should maintain liaison with related international activities on industrial

sectors and contaminated land.

The benefits to all participants have been enhanced by the parallel activities in policy-oriented and

technical areas. Opportunities for joint meetings and information sharing should be explored to expand

the network for sharing results on prevention and remediation for industrial sectors.

4) The follow on Pilot Study should continue the practice of publishing results annually and utilizing

other electronic media for rapid information dissemination.

The remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater is a rapidly evolving field, so that there is a risk

that much of the information provided during the Pilot Study will be out of date rapidly. Continuing the

current practice of annual reports of meetings with CD’s that contain all reports cumulatively are a very

effective way to make printed copies widely available. This approach coupled with Internet availability of

reports is a very effective way to conduct outreach regarding future project results. The follow on

Pilot Study should also continue the practice of seeking venues at international conferences to summarize

and update Study findings.
