Groundwater Remediation Field Laboratory (GRFL)
Abstract
The Groundwater Remediation Field Laboratory (ORFL) at Dover AFB, DE is part of SERDP National Environmental Technology Test Sites program (NETTS), a tri-service and EPA network of sites for field testing innovative cleanup technologies. The GRFL is the Armstrong Laboratory contribution to the NETTS program. It is specifically focused on technologies to deal with subsurface fuels and solvents contamination, especially contamination by what are termed dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs). The GRFL represents the only place within the U.S. where carefully planned experiments involving contained releases of DNAPLs can be carried out in the subsurface of an existing water table aquifer. Demonstrations conducted at the ORFL must be of interest to the DoD, have sufficient peer review, and advance our understanding of DNAPL behavior in the subsurface or our ability to locate and cleanup these materials. Additionally, many of the demonstrations test technologies that can subsequently be utilized at Dover AFB on existing base contamination.
