TABLE OF CONTENTS "It is one thing to make experiments to determine, as Darcy did, the amount of water that can pass through a sand filter. It is quite another to apply the results to the geologic materials of an aquifer." CHAPMAN, 1981.
Six case histories are briefly reviewed here, covering the history of the site, site characterization, treatment remedy, and comments and discussion of results. Two of the cases involve aqueous groundwater cleanups, three describe DNAPL cleanups, and one describes an LNAPL cleanup. The aqueous groundwater cleanups are for the Lockheed Martin site, Lake Success, New York, and the IBM site in South Brunswick, New Jersey. The DNAPLs cases are for a surfactant flooding site at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; six-phase heating for an electronic manufacturing site in Illinois, and chemical oxidation at Cape Canaveral. The LNAPLs case is for a diesel fuel problem in Pontiac, Michigan.

History. The site, which is located in Nassau County, New York, adjacent to New York City, is approximately 94 acres in size, and is above the largest sole-source aquifer in the United States. All of the water supply for both Nassau and Suffolk Counties, with a total population of over 3 million people, is supplied by this aquifer. There are seven buildings on the site-the main manufacturing building and six smaller buildings (south of the main building), with a total floor area of...
