This project ended in 2003 and is no longer active. NEWMOA's Technology Review Committee (TRC) was made up of one or more staff members from each of the Northeast states. The TRC coordinated state reviews, issued advisory opinions and disseminated information on the use of innovative site characterization technologies. The purpose of the advisory opinions was to:

• raise overall awareness of the subject technology and its application in the Northeast

• communicate TRC interest in the use of the subject technology to potential users and state project managers

• educate consultants and the state regulators who oversee projects about the factors that can affect the proper use of the technology

Advisory opinions have been issued for the following technologies:

• immunoassay (May 1999)

• x-ray fluorescence(XRF) (September 1999)

• gas chromatography (GC) field analysis (November 2000)

• diffusion bag samplers: htm, pdf (Februrary 2002)
