This project supported the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (formerly the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Cooperation Work Group) in its efforts to improve the acceptance of innovative environmental remediation technologies. To do this, the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC) engaged in the development of tools, the dissemination of information, and project management. The tools developed are generally ITRC documents and trainings about innovative technologies and approaches, which are created by technical teams. The ITRC disseminates information on the tools developed and on innovative remediation technologies and approaches through its state engagement team, through internet-based trainings, through classroom training courses, through ITRC conferences and membership meetings, and through regular outreach products. Project management for the ITRC provides overall administration for and guidance to the project and is primarily provided by staff at the Environmental Council of the States. This project and the ITRC program as a whole is a benefit to the public as it improves the acceptance of innovative remediation technologies for appropriate applications, which speeds up the remediation of sites and decreases remediation costs. This faster cleanup at decreased cost improves the protection of human health and the environment.
