Impact/Purpose:

provide information

Description:

This paper reports on the results of a pilot study that treated vadose zone soil contaminated with VOCs in an enclosed thermal aeration system. The McKin site, an NPL site in Grey, Maine, was the location of the pilot study. The pilot study was chosen to demonstrate the viability of excavating the soil, treating the soil in a material dryer to aerate the soils and drive off the VOCs, and treating the vapors to remove contaminants. Results of the pilot study revealed that VOCs were reduced to non-detectable levels.
