Natural Attenuation Of Chlorinated Solvent Source Zones

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Chlorinated Solvent Source Zone Remediation

Part of the book series: SERDP ESTCP Environmental Remediation Technology ((SERDP/ESTCP,volume 7))

Abstract

At a site where groundwater is contaminated by chlorinated solvents, the spatial distribution of contamination and the persistence of the contamination over time is controlled by the interaction between the rate of natural attenuation in groundwater and the rate of natural attenuation of the source. Recent advances make it possible to describe and forecast the rate of natural attenuation of the source. This information makes it possible at many sites to include attenuation of the sources as part of a natural attenuation remedy. At other sites it may be possible to optimize the extent of active remediation of the source that is necessary to achieve a final remedy at a site.
