Groundwater remediation field laboratory for DNAPL remediation research
- Armstrong Lab., Tyndall AFB, FL (United States). Environics Div.
The US Air Force and the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program have established the Groundwater Remediation Field Laboratory (GRFL), at Dover AFB, Delaware, to support DNAPL research. Designed to contain the deliberate release of DNAPL, the GRFL lies within a shallow, coarse sand and gravel aquifer, which lies above a clay aquitard approximately 20 feet thick. DNAPL releases will be contained within double-walled, sheet pile cells, which will simultaneously provide a closed system for testing remediation technologies, and also prevent lateral migration of dissolved material. The research facility provides a well-characterized aquifer, a portable cone penetrometer and other useful equipment, sophisticated data acquisition and communication capabilities, and technical and managerial support services.
