Conceptual Site Model Development and Environmental Molecular Diagnostics
The document outlines a study on the application of Plumestop® liquid activated carbon for remediation of a groundwater plume contaminated with trichlorofluoromethane and other VOCs at a manufacturing facility in North Carolina. It discusses the pilot study, the quantities of materials used, results from monitoring before and after injection, and the significance of robust data collection for effective remediation. The authors emphasize the importance of performance monitoring and preparedness for improving project outcomes.
