LESSONS LEARNED FROM DESIGN VERIFICATION ASSESSMENTS AT IN SITU REMEDIATION SITES
Hicks, B. | Great Lakes Environmental Remediation and Redevelopment Conference, 16-18 October, Lansing, MI, abstract, 2019

Design verification assessments can help determine what kinds of lower-cost field-based methods can provide significant insight into design and application methods to optimize in situ applications, resulting in improved remedial performance outcomes. Documenting aquifer characteristics using traditional field methods can provide the most insight for remedial design and application. Specifically, the presentation focuses on target treatment zone (TTZ) characteristics that directly affected application programs and remedial outcomes. A case study is presented where using these steps to identify the relationship between contaminants of concern mass storage and distribution units within the TTZ contributed to an overall improvement in application programs and was a key element in higher remedial success rates.
