Submitting to TME (The Military Engineer Magazine, a publication of the Society of American Military Engineers).
Description:
Chlorinated solvents like trichloroethylene contaminate groundwater at numerous sites nationwide. This modeling study, conducted at the Air Force Institute of Technology, shows that subsurface cracks, either natural or due to the presence of the contaminant itself, may result in contamination persisting for decades, even after most of the contaminant has been removed.
