• Site Investigations - What We Don’t Know Can Cost Us  back to agenda
  10:30 - Noon
  This session provides several approaches to developing a better conceptual site model by obtaining a more realistic and accurate delineation of petroleum in the subsurface beyond the use of the traditional monitoring well and assessment data. Utilizing EPA on-line tools, multilevel probe installation, MIPS, or detailed smear zone field analysis, the plume mass, extent, and severity, can be better estimated, thereby avoiding or reducing the probability of developing a costly and potentially ineffective remediation strategy.

• Remediation Technologies  back to agenda
  1:30 - 3 p.m.
  Petroleum products, especially gasoline, continue to be complex mixtures of organic chemicals that over time have been variably comprised of numerous constituent compounds such as benzene, blending agents such as fuel oxygenates and additives such as ethylene dibromide. When released to the environment, these mixtures can result in complex zones of multi-phase and or multi-species contamination. The need for more successful remediation of such complex environmental contamination continues to drive the development and application of the wide range of remedial technologies presented.

• Whole Site Remediation
  3:30 – 5:00 p.m.
  This session will discuss the idea of designing and installing a remediation system utilizing multiple technologies to take a site with free product to site closure. We will attempt to answer the question of whether there are cost savings to be realized by installing multiple remedial systems in one construction phase.
