Introduction: Doe's Groundwater and Soil Contamination Problem -- Limitations of Conventional Groundwater and Soil Cleanup Technologies -- DOE's Program for Developing Groundwater and Soil Cleanup Technologies -- Dimension of DOE's Subsurface Contamination Problem -- DOE's Progress to Date in Cleaning Up Groundwater and Soil Contamination -- 2. Changing Regulatory Environment -- Overview of Applicable Federal Regulations -- Baseline Cleanup Goals -- Changing Regulatory Environment -- 3. Metals and Radionuclides: Technologies for Characterization, Remediation, and Containment -- Factors Affecting Risks of Metal and Radionuclide Contamination -- Geochemical Characteristics of Metal and Radionuclide Contamination: Effects on Treatment Options -- Characterization of Metal and Radionuclide Contamination -- Physical Barrier for Containing Contaminants -- ̂ Summary This book presents a comprehensive, up-to-date review of technologies for cleaning up contaminants in groundwater and soil. It provides a special focus on three classes of contaminants that have proven very difficult to treat once released to the subsurface: metals, radionuclides, and dense nonaqueous-phase liquids such as chlorinated solvents Groundwater and Soil Cleanup was commissioned by the Department of Energy (DOE) as part of its program to clean up contamination in the nuclear weapons production complex. In addition to a review of remediation technologies, the book describes new trends in regulation of contaminated sites and assesses the DOE's program for developing new subsurface cleanup technologies Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Master and use copy.
