ADVANCES IN MANAGING CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER USING HIGH RESOLUTION SITE CHARACTERIZATION AND CONTAMINANT MASS FLUX REDUCTION
Mok, C.M. and P. Kulkarni. | SERDP & ESTCP Webinar Series, Webinar #101, October 2019

SERDP and ESTCP sponsored two presentations on managing contaminated groundwater. The first presentation featured hydraulic tomography (HT), a cost-effective high-resolution site characterization technique to delineate the spatial distributions of hydraulic conductivity and storativity. A field-scale demonstration confirmed that HT can be readily applied at other DoD sites using existing networks of groundwater extraction/injection and observation wells. The presentation also described further enhancements by integrating HT with geophysical tomography as well as applications for remediation reliability evaluation and optimization. The second presentation described a recently completed ESTCP project on a contaminant flux reduction barrier. The discussion included 1) results from a small-scale field demonstration of the permeation grouting technology, 2) a permeation grouting decision flowchart, and 3) an overview of the ESTCP Source Barrier Toolkit. https://www.serdp-estcp.org/Tools-and-Training/Webinar-Series/10-24-2019
