The SERDP and ESTCP programs are currently funding a number of projects in the area of in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO). In order to encourage a high level of cooperation and coordination between Principal Investigators, an ISCO Technical Review Panel comprised of individuals having in-depth and unique ISCO technology experience at both private industry and DoD sites was formed in 2003. The objective of the Technical Review Panel is to provide objective, professional, and independent evaluations of the progress made by the ISCO projects and to promote coordination between projects and minimize duplication of effort.  Information on SERDP and ESTCP ongoing and completed ISCO projects and links to relevant ISCO web sites are provided below.  Point-of-contact information also is available.
