Compare and contrast bioremediation, soil vapor extraction, and air sparging.

Compare and contrast bioremediation, soil vapor extraction, and air sparging. What method(s) could you use to enhance their efficiencies in removing contaminants from the environment?

Identify the technology or technologies which should be considered for eliminating or significantly reducing the contamination problems

Given the following site conditions, identify the technology or technologies which should be considered for eliminating or significantly reducing the contamination problems. Explain the reason for your choice(s). What problems might be encountered in applying your choices? Is there additional information that would be helpful? I ...continues

You are the environmental manager of the site and there has been a release of VOC's and metals onto the ground surface and have migrated into the subsurface sediments and groundwater.

You are the environmental manager of the site and there has been a release of VOC's and metals onto the ground surface and have migrated into the subsurface sediments and groundwater. The underlying aquifer is very close to the surface, only about 2 feet< and the groundwater generally flows toward the lake. From benchmarks, the ...continues
