Evaluating the Longevity and Hydraulic Performance of Permeable Reactive Barriers at Department of Defense Sites
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to address short- and long-term performance issues associated with permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) installed at several United States Department of Defense (DoD) sites. The technical approach is to review existing field data from the DoD PRBs, identify the challenges facing technology implementation, conduct additional monitoring to fill in any data gaps, and recommend suitable long-term design/monitoring strategies for existing_ and new permeable barriers. This project is being implemented by the DoD and is sponsored by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP). The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and United States Department of Energy (DOE) also are implementing complementary projects with separate sources of funding. The combined effort of these three agencies is expected to span the PRBs at several government sites. The Remediation Technologies Development Forum (RTDF) Permeable Barriers Group and the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Cooperation (ITRC) Permeable Barriers Subgroup ~re providing document review support for the project.
