FY 2011 STATEMENT OF NEED
Environmental Restoration (ER) Program Area
The overall objective of this Statement of Need (SON) was to develop an improved understanding of the near- and long-term impacts to groundwater quality after implementation of common in situ remediation approaches. In addition, development of methods to predict and/or monitor such impacts adjust remediation strategies to minimize negative effects while achieving remedial goals is of interest. Common treatment approaches result in removal of chemical contamination of concern, but may produce an aquifer that is degraded in term of other important groundwater quality parameters. Proposals may address one or more of the following objectives:
The projects listed below were selected to address the objectives of this SON. Additional information on individual projects can be found by clicking the project title.
Research should lead to improved understanding of the impact of remediation efforts on groundwater quality will improve our ability to manage contaminated groundwater sites. Once secondary groundwater quality impacts are better understood, more cost-effective management and treatment approaches can be implemented, substantially reducing the life cycle costs for managing these plumes, while reducing or eliminating negative impacts to groundwater quality
