| Short description: |
DNAPL Website. EPA's Office of Superfund Remediation and
Technology Innovation has released a website that compiles
available information related to the cleanup of dense
nonaqueous-phase liquids (DNAPLs) at hazardous waste sites. This
initial phase addresses the most common DNAPL contaminants:
chlorinated ethenes (e.g., tetrachloroethene and
trichloroethene) and multi-component wastes (creosotes, coal
tars, and heavy oils). Future expansion may include ethers,
halogenated alkanes, polychlorinated biphenyls, and other
chemicals that form DNAPLs. With the primary focus on source
zone cleanup, information is provided for available remediation
technologies, such as bioremediation, in situ flushing and
oxidation, and thermal processes. EPA will maintain the website
by adding new resources as they become available.
