INTRODUCTION
In the United States, more than 60,000 sites have been identified that are potential threats t the public health and/or the environment. By 1997, over 1,400 sites had been listed for cleanup by their addition to the National Priorities List under Superfund. In UK, up to 100,000 sites are registered as sites with contaminated land uses was expected to be generate. Include some risk of contaminant migration in the subsurface. Interestingly, it was never complete.
REMEDIAL OBJECTIVE
To render the site safe for its intended future use. Must minimize or eliminate the hazard to human health and environment.
The question of risk must be address and the selection of remedial alternatives will be influenced by their ability to reduce the risk.
Risk-based corrective action (RBCA)-to select the appropriate remedial action program. Must recognize a certain degree of uncertainty observational approach:
Remedial design based on the most probable site condition Identification of parameters to monitor and confirm conditions and performance of the remedial design Contingency plans for potential deviations
Learning Outcomes
At the end of lecture of week 12 student will Be able to describe the technology for remediation Be able to understand the differences of vertical and horizontal barriers Be able to identify others remediation technology
REMEDIAL TECHNOLOGY
GROUNDWATER CONTROL: VERTICAL BARRIERS
REMEDIAL TECHNOLOGY
GROUNDWATER CONTROL: VERTICAL BARRIERS
Function of vertical barriers-to inhibit the flow of clean groundwater to the site. Used with groundwater extraction and treatment system. Types of vertical barriers system:
Circumferential cutoff walls Upgradient vertical barriers Down-gradient vertical barriers

Grouted Liner System well establish technology The grout is injected uniformly in plan view to the desired depth beneath the site. Successfully used to control the influx of groundwater in excavation

GROUNDWATER CONTROL: HORIZONTAL BARRIERS
Lagoon-Sealing Technique To reduce the leakage from the bottom of lagoon Material used to construct:
Bentonite
A high-swelling clay Can be produced in a granular form
When spread over the surface of lagoon, the granules sink and form a blanket over the lagoon bottom.
REMEDIAL TECHNOLOGY
SOIL VAPOR EXTRACTION (SVE)
Utilized to remove VOC from soils in the vadose zone The process consist of passing an air stream through the soil, thereby transferring the contaminants from the soil matrix to the air system. Implemented by installing vapor extraction wells in the one of contamination and applying a vacuum to induce the movement of soil gases. Typically include knockout drums to remove moisture from the soil gases, followed by vapor phase treatment to discharge to the atmosphere.
