Groundwater Remediation

If groundwater contamination is identified on a site, and if contaminant concentrations are found above regulatory limits, remedial activities or feasibility studies must be done just to keep a site in compliance.   Such activities vary with the contaminant, medium that is contaminated, and surrounding environmental factors.   The illustration below shows a schematic drawing for a treatment system for removing petroleum (gasoline or oil) components from groundwater.    Common remedial methods include the following:

 
  • Excavation and offsite removal
  • Excavation and onsite treatment
  • Groundwater "pump and treat"
  • Soil vapor extraction
  • Sparging
  • Passive recovery of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL)
  • Enhanced bioremediation
  • Onsite encapsulation
  • In-situ onsite treatment
