Acknowledgements

The members of the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Cooperation Work Group (ITRC) Phytoremediation Work Team wish to acknowledge the individuals, organizations and agencies that contributed to this Decision Tree Document.

The Phytoremediation work team effort, as part of the broader ITRC effort, is funded primarily by the United States Department of Energy. Additional funding and support has been provided by the United States Department of Defense and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Administrative support for grants is provided by the Environmental Research Institute of the States (ERIS), a nonprofit educational subsidiary of the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS). The Western Governors’ Association (WGA) and the Southern States Energy Board (SSEB), who previously held secretariat duties for ITRC, remain involved.

The 1999 ITRC Phytoremediation work team is made up of state regulators, industry representatives, a public stakeholder, and members of the EPA interested in implementing the use of phytoremediation.
