A site specific evaluation of remedial alternatives for DNAPL contaminated groundwater
- Acres International Corp., Amherst, NY (United States)
- New Jersey Dept. of Environmental Protection, Trenton, NJ (United States)
The groundwater in the shallow aquifer at this Superfund site has been identified as being contaminated with volatile organic compounds, specifically tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) and some metals. In the Record of Decision (ROD), the pump and treat technology with reinjection of the treated groundwater was selected as the preferred remedial action. Based upon review of analytical data, past activities and further investigation of the site, it appeared Rely that dense non aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) was present at the site. Since the issuance of the ROD in 1992, scientific studies have indicated that groundwater pump and treat systems alone are effective in containing contaminant plumes but may need enhancement for remediating DNAPL. As a result of the investigated presence of a DNAPL at this site and the desire to effect a successful remedial program, an evaluation of remedial alternatives for DNAPL and contaminated groundwater was undertaken. The evaluation included other technological enhancements in addition to the pump and treat alternative.
