ABSTRACT

D Aeration - if the ground contamination is highly volatile, e.g. fuel oils, then the ground can be ploughed and rotovated to allow the subs1ance to vaporize.

D Pumping - to remove liquid contaminants from boreholes or excavations. Contaminated water can be pumped into holding tanks and allowed to settle; testing may well prove it to be suitable for discharging into the foul sewer subject to payment of a discharge fee to the local authority of 35p to 65p per rna. It may be necessary to process the water through an approved water treatment system to render it suitable for discharge.
