Abstract
A Remediation System Evaluation (RSE) involves a team of expert hydrogeologists and engineers, independent of the site, conducting a third-party evaluation of site operations. It is a broad evaluation that considers the goals of the remedy, site conceptual model, above-ground and subsurface performance, effectiveness in protecting human health and the environment, and site exit strategy. The evaluation includes reviewing site documents, visiting the site for up to 1.5 days, and compiling a report that includes recommendations to improve the system. The Eliskim site is a closed hazardous waste management facility located approximately one mile south of Anderson, South Carolina. The original facility consisted of approximately five acres of property used as an impoundment area (ponds and lagoons) for hazardous waste management associated with a plant originally owned by True Temper that was located on an adjoining parcel. An additional 20 acres east of the Impoundment Area was purchased as part of the ground water remediation. Contaminated ground water is extracted from a ground water collection trench near the toe of the plume and from a single well in the source area. The extracted water is treated with an air stripper and then discharged to surface water.
