Download or read book Economic Analysis of the Implementation of Permeable Reactive Barriers for Remediation of Contaminated Ground Water written by Robert M. Powell and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents an analysis of the cost of using permeable reactive barriers to remediate contaminated ground water. When possible, these costs are compared with the cost of pump-and-treat technology for similar situations. Permeable reactive barriers are no longer perceived as an innovative remediation technology but are rapidly maturing and may be considered as a standard remediation technology, similar to pump-and-treat. PRB cost information was obtained from a variety of sources, including reports, surveys, and interviews. Costs were broken out into four general categories: site characterization, design, construction, and operation and maintenance. Subcategories within these four further detailed the costs.
