Description:
This volume was prepared as part of an evaluation of groundwater extraction remedies completed under EPA Contract No. 68-W8-0098. It presents 19 case studies of individual sites where ground-water extraction systems have been implemented. These case studies present site characteristics and discuss factors that have influenced the success of the remedial activities. Volume 1 is the summary report presenting the general conclusions and observations of the study. It is based on a review of general information for 112 sites where ground- water extraction systems are in various stages of planning or implementation and on the 19 more detailed case studies presented in this volume. Volume 1 describes the methodology of the study, the factors that influence the effectiveness of ground-water extraction systems, and the data requirements for the design of extraction systems. Volume 3 presents general information on 112 sites where ground-water extraction is either planned or already in use. It includes information on the location, the geologic setting, the contamination, and the administrative status of each site.
