Use of Landfarming to Remediate Soil Contaminated by Pesticides

摘要

This publication discusses, reviews and summarizes case studies on eighteenpesticide landfarming projects undertaken by Andrews Environmental Engineering, Inc. In-depth cost summaries are also provided for six of the pesticide landfarming projects. The cost analysis proves that landfarming is a highly cost effective remediation technique. The average cost to complete a landfarming project, from site investigation to field closure was $22 per ton. While cost effectiveness is a major issue for pesticide landfarming projects, the continued success of landfarming is dependent upon maintaining landfarming as a safe and efficient means for solving the challenges of environmental clean-ups.
