Groundwater Professional Bulletin Board

Background
ITRC is a state-led coalition working together with industry and stakeholders to achieve regulatory acceptance of environmental technologies. ITRC consists of 45 states, the District of Columbia, multiple federal partners, industry participants, and other stakeholders, cooperating to break down barriers and reduce compliance costs, making it easier to use new technologies, and helping states maximize resources. ITRC brings together a diverse mix of environmental experts and stakeholders from both the public and private sectors to broaden and deepen technical knowledge and streamline the regulation of new environmental technologies. ITRC accomplishes its mission in two ways: it develops guidance documents and training courses to meet the needs of both regulators and environmental consultants, and it works with state representatives to ensure that ITRC products and services have maximum impact among state environmental agencies and technology users.

Benefits
The benefits that ITRC offers to state regulators and technology developers, vendors, and users include

• helping regulators build their knowledge base and raise their confidence about new environmental technologies
• helping regulators save time and money when evaluating environmental technologies
• guiding technology developers in the collection of performance data to satisfy the requirements of multiple states
• helping technology vendors avoid the time and expense of conducting duplicative and costly demonstrations
• providing a reliable network among members of the environmental community to focus on innovative environmental technologies
