Abstract:

Battelle, under contract to the Air Force, has prepared a design guidance document for the proposed use of site managers, contractors, and regulators. The design guidance covers permeable barrier application to sites contaminated with dissolved chlorinated solvents in groundwater. The document does not purport to replace the scientific judgment of the on-site engineer or hydrogeologist, but provides guidance on the issues and options that need to be considered based on the current understanding of the technology. The guidance addresses design, emplacement, and monitoring of permeable barriers in various hydrogeologic settings. The Remediation Technologies Development Forums Permeable Barriers Work Group and the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Cooperation Group provided advisory support during the preparation of this document.
