Description:
Systematically conducted, well-documented treatability studies are an important component of remedy evaluation and selection under the Superfund program. his manual focuses on chemical dehalogenation treatability studies conducted in support of remedy selection that is conducted prior to the Record of Decision (ROD). his manual presents a standard guide for designing and implementing a chemical dehalogenation treatability study. he manual presents a description of and discusses the applicability and limitations of chemical dehalogenation technologies and defines the prescreening and field measurement data needed to determine if treatability testing is required. t also presents an overview of the process of conducting treatability tests and the applicability of tiered treatability testing for evaluation of chemical dehalogenation technologies. he specific goals of each tier of testing are defined and performance levels are presented that should be met at the remedy screening level before additional tests are conducted at the next tier. he elements of a treatability study work plan are also defined with detailed discussions on the design and execution of the treatability study.
