IMPACTS ON GROUNDWATER QUALITY FOLLOWING THE APPLICATION OF ISCO: UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSE OF AND DESIGNING MITIGATION FOR METALS MOBILIZATION
Gardner, K.H., E. Hadnagy, S. Greenwood, B.A. Smith, R. Fimmen, D.K. Nair, and H.V. Rectanus.
SERDP Project ER-2132, 298 pp, 2015

Project objectives were to (1) develop a fundamental and predictive understanding of metals release as a result of three common ISCO treatments; (2) develop a mechanistic geochemical model to describe release and to design mitigation measures; (3) experimentally evaluate the fate of redox and pH perturbations and elevated metals released; (4) demonstrate efficacy of pre-, co-, or post-treatment metals mitigation measures; and (5) develop guidance for the design community to predict release, understand mechanisms, and design mitigation strategies to maximize the utility of ISCO and minimize life-cycle costs. https://www.estcp.com/content/download/38033/361074/file/ER-2132%20Final%20Report.pdf
