Description:
A methodology is presented for evaluating the likely effectiveness of five soil treatment technologies at sites where petroleum products have contaminated the unsaturated zone. he five soil treatment technologies are: soil venting, biorestoration, soil flushing, hydraulic barriers, and excavation. he evaluation consists of a site assessment, selection of a treatment technology, and performance monitoring and follow-up measurements. he overall focus of the manual is on making a preliminary screening of what soil treatment technologies would likely be effective at a given UST site.Factors that are critical to the successful implementation of each technology are presented and site conditions which are favorable for each factor are discussed.
