In Situ Oxidation
Additional Resources
Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment Source Zone Treatment Web Site
The AFCEE Source Zone Treatment technology roadmap is intended to assist Air Force environmental managers in identifying and applying more effective methods for remediating and managing sites with contamination source zones. The web site offers a background on source zone remediation, the relevant issues, 'how-to' tools and knowledge, resources, links, and timely state-of-the-art technology reviews.
Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable
The FRTR member agencies support technology development and demonstration partnerships with private developers, a more consistent and unified federal approach to technology evaluation and regulatory acceptance, and a variety of technology transfer tools and other information resources. Numerous documents and case studies of innovative remediation technologies are available through this website.
Improved Understanding of In Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO)
The use of in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) has dramatically increased at Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Energy (DOE), and defense contractor sites as responsible parties attempt to aggressively destroy chlorinated solvent and dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source areas with the goal of reducing the duration and cost of site remediation. The objectives of this project are: (1) develop a comprehensive perspective on the kinetics of oxidation of common groundwater contaminants by the most commonly used oxidants (permanganate [MnO4-] and Fenton’s reagent [H2O2/Fe2+]); (2) evaluate the effect of the aquifer matrix on oxidant mobility and stability using standardized oxidant demand measurement protocols; and (3) identify significant secondary impacts of ISCO on groundwater geochemistry and microbial activity at the field-scale.
In Situ Chemical Oxidation for Remediation of Contaminated Groundwater: Summary Proceedings of an ISCO Technology Practices Workshop
R. Siegrist, B. Petri, F. Krembs, M. Crimi, S. Ko, T. Simpkin, and T. Palaia.
ESTCP, Project ER-0623, 74 pp, 2008
The Colorado School of Mines convened a 2-day workshop (March 7-8, 2007) on ISCO technology practices to provide a forum for 43 invited participants to share insights and perspectives gained regarding the application of ISCO for remediation of contaminated sites. This proceedings document summarizes the activities and outcomes of the workshop.
State Coalition for Remediation of Drycleaners
The Coalition provides a forum for the exchange of information and the discussion of implementation issues related to established state drycleaner programs; shares information and lessons learned with states without drycleaner-specific programs; and encourages the use of innovative technologies in drycleaner remediation. Remediation case studies are compiled in a site profile database.
Superfund Remedy Report, Thirteenth Edition
EPA-542-R-10-004, 2010
The Superfund Remedy Report (SRR), Thirteenth Edition, formerly called the Treatment Technologies for Site Cleanup: Annual Status Report (ASR), was published by the EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) in September 2010. The SRR presents the analysis of Superfund remedial actions based on: (1) remedies selected in Records of Decision (ROD) and ROD amendments, and (2) actions modified in Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD), for fiscal years (FY) 2005 - 2008. The SRR also follows trends in remedy selection using ASR data from FY 1982 - 2004 combined with SRR data. The SRR analyzes remedies selected or modified in 594 decision documents, but does not include project-specific updates that were presented in past editions of ASR. In addition, SRR also includes brief project highlights related to green remediation, in situ bioremediation, and high resolution site characterization. The online version includes downloadable appendices with data for several key tables and figures in the report and new appendices that summarize all the remedy components selected for sources and groundwater in each individual decision document.
Technology Innovation News Survey
The Technology Innovation News Survey contains market/commercialization information; reports on demonstrations, feasibility studies and research; and other news relevant to the hazardous waste community interested in technology development. This report is updated every two weeks.
