A remediation strategy for an organically polluted aquifer / by R.E. Jackson and R.J. Patterson. : En13-5/88-89E-PDF

"A glacial outwash aquifer underlying the Gloucester Landfill near Ottawa, Canada, has become polluted with toxic organic chemicals following the disposal of laboratory solvents in shallow trenches immediately above the aquifer. Several remedial alternatives have been considered by environmental authorities. Impermeable barrier walls were rejected as being unsuitable given the permeable nature of the underlying bedrock. It appears improbable that pools of liquid organic chemicals (DNAPLs) exist within the aquifer; therefore, much of the contaminant plume can be removed hydraulically over a period of five years by the operation of four purge wells discharging to an on-site treatment plant from which the purified water is returned to the aquifer by recharge wells. The residual contamination is anticipated to be cleaned up by in-situ biorestoration techniques presently under development"--Abstract.
