The Center for Sustainable Groundwater and Soil Solutions is the hub of the applied science and technology development program for the Department of Energy’s (DOE) EM-32 Office of Groundwater and Soil Remediation. The Center is managed and operated by the Savannah River National Laboratory with participation by numerous other federal and nonfederal organizations. The Center’s goal is to develop, demonstrate, and transfer technologies and strategies that address the DOE’s priority environmental risks, as well as those risks faced by private and public organizations nationally. To reach that goal, scientific and technical advances are balanced with nontechnical realities of implementation (e.g., safety, cost, stakeholder needs, sustainability, and collateral effects). A key philosophy held by Center personnel is that one should develop solutions that synergistically combine technologies, meet remedial objectives, minimize the problem, have minimal negative collateral environmental impacts, and emphasize low energy use and sustainability. srnl.doe.gov/csgss

The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) are the Department of Defense's environmental research programs, harnessing the latest science and technology to improve DoD’s environmental performance, reduce costs, and enhance and sustain mission capabilities. SERDP and ESTCP respond to environmental technology requirements common to all of the military Services, complementing the Services’ research programs. SERDP and ESTCP promote partnerships and collaboration among academia, industry, the military Services, and other Federal agencies. Both manage investments in five program areas, each of which focuses on a specific component of DoD’s environmental responsibilities—Energy and Water, Environmental Restoration, Munitions Response, Resource Conservation and Climate Change, and Weapons Systems and Platforms. Achieving sustainable solutions in all five areas is essential to improve environmental performance, reduce costs, and enhance mission capabilities. They are independent programs managed from a joint office to coordinate the full spectrum of efforts, from basic and applied research to field demonstration and validation. SERDP is DoD’s environmental science and technology program, planned and executed in partnership with DOE and EPA, with participation by numerous other federal and nonfederal organizations. The Program focuses on cross-service requirements and pursues solutions to the Department’s environmental challenges while enhancing and sustaining military readiness. ESTCP is DoD’s environmental technology demonstration and validation program. The Program’s goal is to identify and demonstrate the most promising innovative and cost-effective technologies and methods that address DoD’s high-priority environmental requirements. Projects conduct formal demonstrations at DoD facilities and sites in operational settings to document and validate improved performance and cost savings. Demonstration results are subject to rigorous technical reviews to ensure that the conclusions are accurate and well supported by data. www.serdp-estcp.org
