This section of the DTIC Web site is designed to provide information on one of the many communities of interest served by DTIC.

The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) is the Department of Defense's (DoD) environmental science and technology program, planned and executed in full partnership with the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, with participation by numerous other federal and non-federal organizations. To address the highest priority issues confronting the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, SERDP focuses on cross-service requirements and pursues high-risk/high-payoff solutions to the Department’s most intractable environmental problems. The development and application of innovative environmental technologies support the long-term sustainability of DoD’s training and testing ranges as well as significantly reduce current and future environmental liabilities.

Samples of current DTIC documents dealing with Strategic Environment issues are listed below. Other resources within DTIC, DoD and external to the Department can be found in the menu to the right.

• Soil Microbial Activity Benchmarks (Provisional) for Ecological Risk Assessments at Explosives-Contaminated Sites: Promoting Range Sustainability The Army Strategy for the Environment applies an ecosystem approach to managing natural resources on Army installations
• Demonstration of an Integrated Compliance Model for Predicting Copper Fate and Effects in DoD Harbors This project is a direct result of Project ER-1156, Fate and Ecological Effects of Copper and Zinc in Estuarine Environments
• The Use of Commercial Non-Hazardous Air Pollutant Monomers to Optimize the Properties of Fatty Acid-Based Resins Vinyl ester (VE) resins are used to make polymer matrix composites in military and commercial applications because of their good properties, low weight, and low cost
• Bioremediation Approaches for Treating Low Concentrations of N-Nitrosodimethylamine in Groundwater NDMA is a potent carcinogen and an emerging groundwater pollutant
