Description:
Permeable reactive barriers (PRB's) are an emerging, alternative in-situ approach for remediating contaminated groundwater that combine subsurface fluid flow management with a passive chemical treatment zone. PRB's are a potentially more cost effective treatment option at several sites for a variety of contaminants, such as chlorinated solvent compounds, arsenic, chromium, and uranium. Given the presence of these contaminants at a number of government (and private) sites, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), the U. S. Department of Defense (US DoD), and U. S. Department of Energy (US DOE) are cooperating to evaluate the field performance of PRB's at multiple government sites.
