Impact/Purpose:
This presentation is intended to provide a summary of treatment options that can be used to address contaminant back diffusion.
Description:
Back diffusion of contaminants from secondary sources may hamper site remediation if it is not properly addressed in the remedial design. There are a number of approaches and strategies that can be used to address the risk posed by back diffusion. A review of all reported technologies and strategies that have been or could be applied to address plume persistence due to back diffusion as published in the peer-reviewed literature was conducted. This presentation will provide a summary of that research to the EPA Groundwater Forum.
