DIRECT PUSH OPTICAL SCREENING TOOL FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION, REAL-TIME MAPPING OF CHLORINATED SOLVENT DNAPL ARCHITECTURE
Einarson, M., A. Fure, R. St. Germain, S. Chapman, and B. Parker.
ESTCP Project ER-201121, 222 pp, 2016

This report describes the testing of a new direct-push optical screening tool for high-resolution 3D subsurface mapping of chlorinated solvent DNAPLs in unlithified sediments. The tool was field-tested at a formerly used defense facility in Massachusetts in fall 2013 (Geoprobe® delivery) and again in March 2014 (CPT delivery).The new tool, a laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technology referred to as "DyeLIF™," was developed and validated during this project and is now commercially available. https://www.estcp.com/content/download/40309/386525/file/ER-201121%20Final%20Report.pdf See also the ESTCP Cost and Performance Report at https://www.estcp.com/content/download/41051/392166/file/ER-201121%20C&P%20Report%20-%20FOR%20POSTING.pdf.
