Following the identification of a potentially contaminated facility (DOE Site Characterization), the type of contamination and its extent must be characterized before remediation can begin. For soil and ground water, it is important to limit remediation activities to contaminated locations. In situ techniques are extremely useful for mapping contaminant distribution as well as for measuring remediation effectiveness. This article describes the first phase of a program to take existing Raman technology and integrate it into a system of hardware, software and operational protocols which can be evaluated for in situ environmental analysis at DOE environmental restoration field sites. 16 refs., 3 figs.
