Diagnostic Tools for Performance Evaluation of Innovative In-Situ Remediation Technologies at Chlorinated Solvent-Contaminated Sites

Abstract

This Demonstration Report provides an evaluation of innovative diagnostic tools used first for site characterization to support remediation design, and second to evaluate the performance of in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) using permanganate at the Watervliet Arsenal (WVA). An area of groundwater contamination was discovered in 1998 in the eastern portion of the WVA, adjacent to the site boundary and in front of former manufacturing Building 40. Groundwater contaminants include chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs), predominantly tetrachloroethene (PCE), and cis-1,2-dichloroethene (DCE), with a lesser percentage of trichloroethene (TCE) and vinyl chloride.
