ESTCP FY 2022 New Start Projects 

Environmental Restoration (ER) Program Area 

The following projects were selected for funding to demonstrate commercially-viable treatment technologies for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS)-impacted media. Ten projects were selected under this effort to demonstrate thermal destruction treatment of excavated soils, concentration of PFAS from impacted waters, and concentrate destruction. Additional information on individual projects can be found by clicking on the project title.
