Description:
The pump-and-treat process, whereby contaminated groundwater is pumped to the surface for treatment, is one of the most common groundwater remediation technologies used at hazardous waste sites. owever, recent research has identified complex chemical and physical interactions between contaminants and the subsurface media which may impose limitations on the extraction part of the process. his report was developed to summarize the.basic considerations necessary to determine when, where, and how pump-and-treat technology can be used effectively to remediate groundwater contamination.
