Technical and Regulatory Guidance for Surfactant/Cosolvent Flushing of DNAPL Source Zones

Abstract

This guidance document is one of several generated by the Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) related to the identification, characterization, and remediation of DNAPLs. The document describes the technology and discusses the major factors that need to be addressed to select and evaluate design and implementation work plans for surfactant and cosolvent flushing of DNAPLs. There are other documents in existence that contain a greater degree of technical detail that can be used as design manuals (NAVFAC, 2OO2a). For the convenience of the reader, a list of acronyms used in this document has been compiled in Appendix A. In addition, a glossary of key technical terms is included in Appendix B for reference purposes. These technologies are continuing to evolve and mature, even as this document is being written. This document focuses on the regulatory, technical, and economic aspects of implementing these technologies for the purposes of DNAPL remediation.
