Lessons Learned                                                 
Lessons learned   Lessons learned include creating a “hot floor” at 90 feet within the upper portion of the bedrock to achieve a 95% UCL less than 60 ug/kg as well as creating an upward hydraulic gradient between bedrock and unconsolidated soils so that mobilized DNAPL was unable to migrate vertically into the bedrock.
