Finding and mapping buried hazardous waste can be a time-consuming process. However, advances in ground-penetrating radar technology are improving the means by which to detect subsurface features and related contamination. Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. (North Salem, New Hampshire) has developed an innovative ground-penetrating radar system. The Subsurface Interface Radar (SIR{reg_sign}) system can provide real-time and continuous-profile records that indicate the location and depth of objects within subsurfaces of soil, concrete, rock, water, or other dielectric materials. The SIR{reg_sign} system allows the user to investigate subsurface conditions in a nonintrusive manner; this radar can locate underground storage tanks and buried drums, delineate landfill boundaries and burial trenches, and in some cases, the radar can identify hydrocarbon plums.
