Strategies for Monitoring the Performance of DNAPL Source Zone Remedies. Technical/Regulatory Guidelines

Abstract

This document is intended for regulators and others interested in learning about approaches to performance monitoring while implementing various in situ technologies for the treatment of DNAPLs. In this document we present a number of ways in which the success or failure in treating a DNAPL source zone has been measured. Because the vast majority of experience in DNAPL source zone remediation has been in unconsolidated geologies, such as sands and silts, many of the conclusions, recommendations, and lessons learned presented in this document do not necessarily transfer to performance assessment in fractured bedrock, karst, or other consolidated geologies. We have written four guidance documents that provide an overview of the problem and guide the reader through the process of site characterization, technology selection, and implementation. This, our fifth document, provides guidance on assessing the performance of DNAPL source zones remedies.
