DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS OF GROUND-WATER REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES

BARCELONA, Michael J., Chemistry, Western Michigan Univ, Kalamazoo, MI 49068, michael.barcelona@wmich.edu

The future of the development and application of ground-water remediation technologies will unfold in an atmosphere of heightened public concern and attention. Cleanup policy will undergo incremental change towards more comprehensive efforts which account for the impact of remediation on nearby resources. Newly discovered contaminants will cause the reexamination of "mature" technologies since they may be persistent, mobile and difficult to treat in-situ. Evaluations of the effectiveness of remedial technologies will eventually include by-product formation, geochemical consequences and sustainability.Long term field trials of remedial technologies alone can provide the data necessary to support claims of effectiveness.
