Summary: This course provides participants with a comprehensive overview of chlorinated VOC remediation principles, and proven technologies for soil, vapor, and groundwater. The training begins with a review of biogeochemistry and hydrogeologic factors that affect site characterization, remedy selection, and performance; followed by a discussion of common presumptive and innovative remedies. The 14-compartment model is used as a conceptual framework for examining remediation technology performance. The 21-compartment model is also presented for fractured rock and karst systems. The course includes a case study highlighting remedy selection and the application of multiple technologies to complex sites. The concepts and technologies presented are applicable to PCE, TCE, DCE, vinyl chloride, 1,1,1-TCA, DCA, CT, and other chlorinated VOCs including chlorinated benzenes, ethanes, ethenes, and methanes; 1,4-dioxane is also covered.
