INTEGRATED STABLE ISOTOPE-REACTIVE TRANSPORT MODEL APPROACH FOR ASSESSMENT OF CHLORINATED SOLVENT DEGRADATION

ESTCP Project ER-201029, 133 pp, 2016

This demonstration project was funded by ESTCP with the main goal of demonstrating the utility of combining compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) and reactive transport modeling (RTM) to quantify and strengthen support for monitored natural attenuation remedies for groundwater contaminated with chlorinated ethene constituents. The demonstration followed two main tracks: development and initial calibration of the modeling software and a demonstration of the combined CSIA/RTM approach through an assessment of a contaminated site (the Shallow TCE & PCE Plume and the Deep TCE Plume at Hill AFB, Operable Unit 10). The success of the technology demonstration was defined in terms of producing results that are useful for development/improvement of the conceptual site model and are superior to those obtained by CSIA alone. https://www.estcp.com/content/download/40453/387653/file/ER-201029%20Final%20Report.pdf See also the User's Guide and model input files, completed in 2014: https://www.estcp.com/Program-Areas/Environmental-Restoration/Contaminated-Groundwater/ER-201029.
