Economic returns from monitoring and remediation of acid soils with lime application - Case Study
A long term soil acidity monitoring study was conducted in the Gabby Quoi Quoi catchment located in the central agricultural region of Western Australia, measuring change in soil pH at GIS located sample points in 1999 and 2006. Of the 300 sites sampled, 75% of the topsoil and 85% of the midsoil sampled in 1999 had pH values < 5.0, with 15% of these soils having a pH value of < 4.0. Liming ...

Large TCE Plume with Extensive DNAPL - Case Study
ABSTRACT High density sampling program was key to remediation of soil and groundwater impacted by TCE DNAPL at a former industrial site underlain by river deposits and sedimentary bedrock. CHALLENGES Impacted alluvium consisted of poorly sorted, fine to coarse grained sand. The source area was underlain by an aquitard of silt and clayey silt where dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) pooled ...

In Situ Soil Remediation: An Essential Tool For Environmental Restoration
Introduction To In Situ Soil Remediation In situ soil remediation is a critical method used to address soil contamination, playing a pivotal role in environmental restoration. This technique treats polluted soil in its original location, without needing to remove or transport the contaminated materials. The benefits of this approach are numerous, including reduced costs, minimized environmental ...

Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil Remediation
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms and are the building blocks of many fossil fuels. Petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, and oil, are major sources of hydrocarbons. Spills or leaks of these products can result in soil contamination, and if left unaddressed, can have significant environmental and health impacts. In this article, we will discuss the ...

Enhanced Bioremediation
Introduction Enhanced bioremediation is a process in which indigenous or inoculated micro-organisms (e.g., fungi, bacteria, and other microbes) degrade (metabolize) organic contaminants found in soil and/or ground water, converting them to innocuous end products. Nutrients, oxygen, or other amendments may be used to enhance bioremediation and contaminant desorption from subsurface materials. ...

Large-scale contaminated soil investigations using Environmental Data Management Software
The Problem - Data Management Challenges Large-scale contaminated soil investigations generate hundreds, often thousands, of samples. Soil samples are collected from multiple locations, at varying depths, over many days, and by different people. Each sample is then tested for a suite of parameters and compared to regulatory guidelines to determine whether it is contaminated. This generates a ...
