The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) are the Department of Defense’s (DoD) environmental technology programs. SERDP and ESTCP address environmental matters of concern to DoD through funding for basic and applied research and development and demonstration/validation of technologies that can enhance the capabilities of DoD to meet its environmental obligations.

Partners in Environmental Technology reflects the partnership formed by SERDP and ESTCP. Partnerships play a pivotal role in the successful transition of research initiatives and demonstrations. The partnerships between the DoD, Department of Energy, and the Environmental Protection Agency; the partnerships between federal agencies, private industry, and academia; and the partnerships between technology developers, end users, and environmental regulators all are critical to the success of SERDP and ESTCP.

SERDP AND ESTCP INFORMATION BULLETINS

Information BulletinLatest Issue Features Wide Area Assessment Technologies Capable of Reducing the Munitions Footprint

The Winter  2009 issue of the SERDP & ESTCP Information Bulletin is now online. It highlights:

  • the recently released ESTCP Wide Area Assessment Pilot Program Final Report, which summarizes the successful series of field demonstrations, describes technology capabilities and limitations, and provides cost estimates for deployment. Wide area assessment is a process for quickly and cost-effectively assessing 100 percent of a site potentially contaminated with military munitions to identify areas of concentrated munitions use such as target areas for more detailed investigation.

  • the 2008 Partners in Environmental Technology Technical Symposium & Workshop, including the three distinguished Plenary Session speakers who discussed DoD’s leadership in tackling energy efficiencies, announcement of the seven Project-of-the-Year Awards recognizing successful research and technology developments with significant benefits to DoD, and the comprehensive technical program comprised of 13 technical sessions on efforts to tackle DoD’s environmental challenges and five short courses on environmental restoration and munitions management technologies.
