| Short description: |
Published reports and
conference presentations of characterization and remediation of
contaminated ground water in fractured bedrock sites are collected
and summarized in the website. The site contains 90 case studies,
which are evenly split between pilot studies and full scale
application. Almost half of the sites have, or are suspected of
having NAPL. Over a third of site managers have chosen
bioremediation and one quarter have chosen pump and treat and
another quarter have chosen oxidation for a remediation
technology. Only one technical Impracticability waiver has been
requested and five No Further Action certificates were issued by
the state regulatory agencies. Seventy-five percent of the sites are
located in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania.
