MTBE Cleanup Technology Evaluations at the Port Hueneme NETTS

Chapter

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Defense (USDOD) Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) established four National Environmental Technology Test Sites (NETTS). The goal of the SERDP-funded test site program is to provide accessible, well-supported field locations for project proof-of-principle tests, applied research, and comparative demonstration, as well as to facilitate transfer of innovative environmental technologies from research to full-scale use. Since selection in 1994 as a NETTS, the Port Hueneme site on the Navy Base Ventura County (NBVC), Port Hueneme, California has supported demonstrations of over 15 innovative MTBE cleanup technologies. The technologies are designed to find, monitor, and remediate MTBE. Past and future demonstrations will benefit both the public and private sector, as well as have significant cleanup benefit for the plume at NBVC, Port Hueneme.
