APPLICATION OF MONITORED NATURAL ATTENUATION AND RISK-BASED CORRECTIVE ACTION AT A CHLORINATED-HYDROCARBON CONTAMINATED SITE FOR RISK MANAGEMENTDai, W.C., T.T. Tsai, C.M. Kao, Y.M. Chang, and H.C. His. Research Journal of Chemistry and Environment, Vol 16 No 3, 87-97, Sep 2012
This paper presents a case study on determining the feasibility of MNA for risk reduction at a chlorinated hydrocarbon (TCE and 1,1-DCE) spill site. The objectives were to (1) evaluate the possible exposure routes and human risks associated with the site's contaminated groundwater using a tiered risk assessment approach; (2) apply the BIOCHLOR model to assess the effectiveness of natural attenuation for the contaminant plume; (3) apply probability and Monte Carlo analyses to develop more practical remediation goals; and (4) develop a realistic streamlined process and risk-based decision-making strategies for site management. http://www.chemenviron.net/chemistry_back_issue/chem_2012_3/16.pdf
