| S/S-1 Document - ITRC's Solidification/Stabilization Team has issued Development of Performance Specifications for Solidification/Stabilization (S/S-1). |
| This document presents an approach for identifying and selecting appropriate performance specifications for design, implementation, and monitoring of S/S remedies. |
| PRB-5 Document - ITRC’s Permeable Reactive Barriers Team has issued Permeable Reactive Barrier: Technology Update (PRB-5). |
| This document is a comprehensive resource incorporating elements from previous documents and providing updates on additional types of reactive media, treatable contaminants, longevity issues, and new construction/installation approaches and technologies. |
| The Contaminated Sediments – Bioavailability Team issues ITRC’s second Web-based Technical and Regulatory Guidance. |
| Incorporating Bioavailability Considerations into the Evaluation of Contaminated Sediment Sites (CS-1) is a website describing when bioavailability should be included in a contaminated sediment site exposure assessment process and which tools and methods are available to estimate bioavailability. Application of various tools and methods is described in specific exposure pathways: benthic invertebrates, fish and water-column invertebrates, wildlife, plants, and human health. |
| Web-based Mining Waste Technology Selection - New online technical and regulatory guidance helps project managers select applicable technologies to remediate contaminated sites. |
| The site consists of decision trees, overviews of applicable technologies, case studies where these technologies have been implemented, and regulatory challenges. The decision trees, through a series of questions, guide users to a set of treatment technologies that may be applicable to that particular site situation. Each technology is described, along with a summary of the applicability, advantages, limitations, performance, stakeholder and regulatory considerations, and lessons learned. The technology overviews include information to help project managers decide how well the technology may fit their particular site and remedial/reclamation goals. Each technology overview links to case studies where the technology has been implemented. Click on the headline above to go to the site. |

| New Green & Sustainable Remediation Document - ITRC’s Green & Sustainable Remediation Team has issued Green and Sustainable Remediation: State of the Science and Practice (GSR-1). |
| This document presents GSR concepts to provide consistency in application and consideration of GSR during the site-management process. |
| New Remediation Risk Management Document - ITRC’s Remediation Risk Management Team has issued Project Risk Management for Site Remediation (RRM-1). |
| This document presents tools and processes to help remediation practitioners anticipate, plan for, and mitigate project risks. |
