ESTCP FY 2023 New Start Projects
Environmental Restoration (ER) Program Area
The following projects were selected for funding to demonstrate commercially-viable technologies for the on-site destruction and remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) tied to aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) in excavated sediments at selected DoD installations. Additional information on individual projects can be found by clicking on the project title.
