Office of Science and Risk Policy, the National Research Council empaneled a committee' to assist the Department in developing a long-range science plan for subsurface contamination research sponsored bv the Environmental Management Science Program (EMSP) .~ The committee was asked by DOE to develop an interim report- which is provided in this letterman the technical content of the EMSP proposal call for fiscal year 1999 (FY99)

Although the committee recommends a complex-wide focus for the proposal call, it also believes that researchers should be encouraged to demonstrate a linkage between their research projects and significant contamination problems at DOE sites. Researchers could '°See, for example, U.S.

This problem area is under-represented in the current EMSP portfolio, and new knowledge obtained through the program could lead to significant improvements in remediation capabilities. 42The idea that lack of process validation can limit technology application also is discussed in the National Research Council report entitled Innovations in Ground Water and Soil Cleanup (National Research Council, 1997~.

Mr. Mark Gilbertson December 10, 1998 Page 5 Although the committee recommends that the call focus on new and innovative research proposals on the entire spectrum of subsurface contamination problems, the committee suggests that the call also indicate DOE's receptiveness to the submission of new research ideas that address the basic science aspects of performance validation.

This science plan will describe the significant subsurface contamination problems at DOE sites that cannot be addressed with current technologies, identify the knowledge gaps relevant to these problems, and develop a research plan to fill these gaps. This plan will take account of research being sponsored by other federal and state agencies and will identify those areas of research where the EM Science Program can make significant contributions to addressing DOE's problems and adding to scientific knowledge generally.
