Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable (FRTR) works to build a collaborative atmosphere among federal agencies involved in hazardous waste site cleanup.
FRTR was established in 1990 to bring together top federal cleanup program managers and other remediation community representatives to:
- Share information and learn about technology-related efforts of mutual interest,
- Discuss future directions of the national site remediation programs and their impact on the technology market,
- Interact with similar state and private industry technology development programs, and
- Form partnerships to pursue subjects of mutual interest. 3
FRTR was created by EPAs Technology Innovation Office (TIO) in 1990 with Walter Kovalick, EPA Director of TIO as Chair.
To help in the implementation of the 1980 Superfund Law Act and the 1986 Superfund Law Amended Act To advocate for new technologies for Superfund Cleanup activities, e.g.,
Contaminated soil cleanup Ground-water assessment and remediation Decision support tools Optimization tools Nanotechnology Green remediation and more 4

FRTR is governed by a Steering Committee composed of the cooperating Federal agencies.
FRTR provides a forum on remediation technologies through semi-annual public meetings. Steering Committee formulates a Meeting Theme with invited speakers and panel discussions. Copies of all presentations and supporting documentation are posted on the FRTR Website: http://frtr.gov/.
FRTR Presents provides real-time Webex seminars of select presentations from the FRTR Meetings for the public which are archived for later viewing on EPA Clean-Up Information Website: https://clu-in.org/
