Source Zones - Design
Brief descriptions of many of the currently available technologies are provided on this page, together with information regarding possible design considerations, and links to sites where additional information can be obtained.
Because the potential applicability of every NAPL source-zone removal or treatment approach is highly dependent upon site-specific and contaminant-specific factors, site managers and remediation professionals are strongly encouraged toutilize available case histories (e.g. FRTR Multi-Site Assessment Reports, FRTR Remediation Case Studies Searchable Database, USACE Cleanup Technologies) existing screening tools (FRTR Remediation Technologies Screening Matrix, GWRTAC), or computer-based Decision Support Systems (DSS) to evaluate and screen available technologies using site-specific factors, prior to identifying appropriate candidate technologies.  In addition, the site manager or other environmental professional should consider applying computer-based simulation software during the pre-design and design stages of any remedy, to assess the affects associated with various design parameters, and to evaluate the degree to which site-related uncertainties may affect the success of a particular remedial approach.
