2009 Brownfields Federal Programs Guide
The 2009 edition of the Brownfields Federal Programs Guide is the first update since 2005 of this compendium of federal agencies and programs that offer financial or technical assistance relevant to brownfields sites. The Guide also provides useful information about federal tax incentives and credits and resources available at the state and local levels. Snapshot descriptions of brownfields projects that have successfully leveraged funding from various sources provide insight into how resources from a variety of sources can make brownfields cleanup and redevelopment projects work.
 

Highlights Newsletter
EMS prepares the Highlights newsletter for meetings of EPA's Technical Support Project (TSP). The TSP is a network of EPA regional, headquarters, and research laboratory staff as well as state agency staff who exchange technical information related characterizing and cleaning up hazardous wastes sites. The newsletter, which is distributed electronically, is a means of disseminating information on the latest information on technologies, case studies, guidance documents, and training with EPA regional and state agency staff.
 

Brownfields Technology Primer: Vapor Intrusion Considerations for Redevelopment
Information about vapor intrusion is a highly technical and quickly evolving as environmental practitioners continue to gain understanding of this exposure pathway to subsurface contamination. EPA tasked EMS with writing this brownfields technology primer to explain, in easy-to-understand language, the vapor intrusion issues relevant to land revitalization stakeholders, such as property owners, municipalities, and real estate developers.
 

EMS Receives Highest Possible Evaluation for Superfund Work
In October 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency awarded EMS the highest possible marks—straight "5s"—in our formal performance evaluation for our Superfund contract. EMS received "outstanding" performance evaluations in all four categories of review: Quality of Product or Service; Cost Control; Timeliness of Performance; and Business Relations. Coming less than a month after EPA gave EMS a similar "outstanding" appraisal for our Brownfields contract (see below), this assessment continues to demonstrate EMS's deep commitments to quality and customer satisfaction in everything we do.

DNAPL Remediation: Selected Projects Approaching Regulatory Closure
This paper updates the document prepared in 2004 by providing more recent information on technologies and on five additional selected sites at which DNAPL source reduction technologies were applied. Ten of the 13 sites have reached regulatory closure (i.e., a no further action determination has been made). At two sites the remediation was aimed at soil and they have met cleanup goals and institutional controls are in place to prevent use of groundwater. The last site is in a MNA mode with MCLs being met at the property line.
