Transfers to: CSU

This course provides an overview of remediation systems that are employed in cleaning up hazardous waste sites. The remediation systems that will be studied include: groundwater remediation systems, soil vapor extraction, chemical extraction/soil washing, solidification/stabilization, bioremediation, thermal processes, and chemical destruction. Specific details on the compounds removed, the fundamentals and specific applications of each method will be examined. Innovative remediation technologies and trends in remediation systems will be studied. A case study, which will highlight the remediation processes that are being used at a selected remediation site, will be examined.
