| Short description: |
This brief document addresses
25 key questions, providing a concise overview of current
knowledge regarding the management of subsurface chlorinated
solvent releases. Source zone areas are defined and discussed,
with summaries of the benefits and limitations of various source
characterization and remediation technologies. The document
addresses current technical and practical limitations, as well
as the changes that have occurred over time at many chlorinated
solvent sites. Although the document is meant neither to foster
nor discourage source zone treatment, it takes a hard look at
the costs and performance of the most commonly used source zone
treatment technologies and compares source treatment to
alternative containment approaches
