Design Guidance for Application of Permeable Reactive Barriers for Groundwater Remediation
Abstract
Battelle, under contract to the Air Force, has prepared a comprehensive update to the February 1997 version of a design guidance document for the proposed use of site managers, contractors, and regulators. The design guidance covers permeable barrier application to sites with contaminated groundwater. The document does not purport to replace the scientific judgment of the on-site engineer or hydrogeologist, but provides guidance on the issues and options that need to be considered based on the current understanding of the technology. The guidance addresses design, construction, and monitoring of permeable barriers in various hydrogeologic settings. This update includes the lessons learned during the design, construction, and monitoring of a permeable reactive barrier at Dover AFB, DE, as well as progress made at other sites. It also includes the advances in the technology since the completion of the previous version of the report.
