Flux-Based Assessment of Post-Remedial Performance

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the utility of flux-based methods for assessing long term post-remedial performance. Specific objectives of this project are to: 1. Estimate period of record and post-remedial contaminant mass balance through the use of measured fluxes and calculated contaminant discharges while incorporating estimates of the associated flux and discharge uncertainties (Klammler et al., 2012). 2. Evaluate overall performance of thermal remediation to date using contaminant discharge history (and inferred reduction of contaminant mass) as the primary metric while accounting for flux and discharge uncertainty. 3. Demonstrate the baffled multi-level sampler (BMLS) as a tool allowing for cost effective long-term flux-based monitoring.
