1998

This document is an attempt to compile worldwide research efforts and applications in the field of permeable reactive barriers (PRB). Research projects are organized by the type of contamination treated (organics or inorganics) and by the type of reaction process (sorption, precipitation, substitution, or degradation), and then by the specific material. Field projects are organized by state, province, or country.

Naval Weapons Station Charleston, SC: An Innovative Technology Test Site
NWS Charleston, SC, Web Page, 2004

This Web page focuses on the various innovative site characterization and remediation technologies (phytoremediation and permeable reactive barriers) implemented at the Naval Weapons Station Charleston, SC.

Permeable Reactive Barrier Network (PRB-Net)

The Permeable Reactive Barrier Network (PRB-Net) was established at the Environmental Engineering Research Centre, School of Civil Engineering, Queens University, Belfast (Stranmillis, Northern Ireland) with funding from the UK EPSRC to disseminate information about PRBs and provide a link between authorities, academia, and industry. This multinational inter-disciplinary network intends to increase PRB technology awareness amongst the industrial, regulatory, and scientific community.

Treatment Technologies for Site Cleanup: Annual Status Report (ASR), Twelfth Edition
EPA 542-R-07-012, 2007

The Twelfth Edition of this report, published by the EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) in September 2007, documents treatment technology applications at more than 1,900 soil and groundwater cleanup projects at National Priorities List (NPL) sites. The status of more than 1,200 projects included in the ASR Eleventh Edition is updated, and information about 192 new projects derived from Records of Decision (ROD) signed from 2002 through 2005 is added. The report also includes a special section about on-site containment remedies. The ASR is based on the analysis of nearly 3,000 RODs signed since 1982 at 1,536 NPL sites. The online version includes new downloadable spreadsheets with the data for several of the key tables and figures in the report. Specific information about each technology application included in the ASR Twelfth Edition is available in the ASR Remediation Database.
