Engineering feasibility studies for remediation of a PCB contaminated site

摘要

PCB contamination of a site in Smithville, Ontario, occurred between 1979 and 1985. Originally an industrial waste transfer facility, the site became a storage facility for wastes such as transformer fluids containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorobenzenes and mineral spirits. When PCB contamination was discovered in the lagoon area in 1985, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) began a site decommissioning and remediation program.
