ABSTRACT

The selection of the best remedial option for a particular site should be made only after the contamination has been completely identi”ed and described. This may or may not include descriptive digital computer modeling.* The technology selection process must consider the type of contamination present, site-speci”c geology, chemical and physical properties of the contamination, the areal extent and depth of the contamination, the effectiveness of the technology in achieving the desired treatment levels, and the total cost of the project.
