| Short description: |
CCMS organized pilot studies to address the technical aspects of addressing contaminated land, beginning with the first pilot study (1980 to 1984) which included a review of remediation methods considered to be 'state-of-the-art'. This study led to the Phase I Pilot Study (1986 to 1991) which had an expanded scope to assess remediation technologies that were considered to be emerging, innovative, and alternative. The Phase I pilot study provided information on the technical performance and economic data of the demonstrated remediation technologies and included successes, limitations, and failures.
From 1992 to 1997, a Phase II Pilot Study was performed based on the Phase I Pilot Study but additionally sought to provide information on demonstrated technologies as well as information on the development of emerging and innovative technologies. The pilot study was also intended to develop uniform data reporting methods to enable direct comparison of results for technologies tested in multiple countries.
A Phase III Pilot Study took place from 1998 to 2007 with a similar scope to the Phase II Pilot Study but included participants from EPAC and Japan. Many of the projects involved two or more technologies that were either integrated or performed in parallel. One of the objectives of this pilot study was to present various countries' technology deployment approaches to assist other countries in developing their own technology strategies.
