Summary and Status of DNAPL Characterization and Remediation Activities in the A/M Area, Savannah River Site

摘要

Characterizing and developing clean-up plans for residual undissolved industrial solvents, also known as dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs), in the soil and groundwater beneath former source areas are key elements in the overall groundwater corrective action for the A/M-Area of the Savannah River Site (SRS). SRS identified 16 possible or confirmed DNAPL source areas in the A/M-Area. We apply the general flowchart approach to each suspect area. One of these areas, notably the 321M Solvent Storage Tank, has been confirmed and is in the full-scale cleanup stage.
