Remediating soils and groundwater that have been contaminated with chlorinated solvents is a significant challenge for current environmental technology. Soils with a high proportion of fine silts and clays have been especially recalcitrant due to their low permeability. Recently, electrokinetics has shown great promise in gaining access to these contaminated zones that fail to yield with traditional pumping methods. An integrated approach using electrokinetics combined with in situ capture and destruction zones (LASAGNA{sup trademark}) is being developed and field tested by Monsanto, DuPont and GE under the auspices of the EPA`s Remediation Technology Development Forum and with financial support from the Department of Energy. To speed implementation and encourage partnering, royalty-free cross-licensing of the developed technology is available to consortium members for use on their sites.
