This Guide is intended to support decision-making by Regional and State Corrective Action permit writers, Remedial Project Managers (RPMs), On-Scene Coordinators, contractors, and others responsible for the evaluation of technologies. This Guide directs managers of sites being cleaned up under RCRA, UST, and CERCLA waste programs to soil vapor extraction resource documents, databases, hotlines, and dockets and identifies regulatory mechanisms (e.g., Research Development and Demonstration Permits) that have the potential to ease the implementation of soil vapor extraction at hazardous waste sites. The Guide provides abstracts of representative examples of over 70 SVE guidance/policy and reference documents, overview/program documents, and studies and demonstrations. The Soil Vapor Extraction Treatment Technology Resource Matrix, which accompanies this Guide, identifies the contaminants, soil type, and activities used to support the application of SVE covered in each abstracted document.
