Response: You're right, and we apologize. You can request the documents from the National Center for Environmental Publications and Information at (513) 489-8190. The document order numbers are:

NCEPI provides the documents at no charge. NCEPI is currently out of copies of the Ground-Water Treatment Technology Resource Guide. It may be reprinted. When NCEPI is out of publications, you can order from the National Technology Information Services by calling (800) 553-6847. NTIS, however, charges for the publications. The order numbers when calling NTIS are:

Ground-Water Treatment Technology Resource Guide (PB95138657)

The publications range from $17.50 to $27.00 for one paper copy. There is an additional handling charge.
