A multiple lines of evidence approach were developed to assist regulators, funding agencies, and practitioners in evaluating PFAS treatment technology performance. This article describes each of three lines of evidence that a technology is effective: (1) decrease in target PFAS concentrations is observed; (2) PFAS treatment transformation products are identified and quantified; and (3) a treatment mechanism is proposed that is consistent with previous studies and supported by data. Other considerations are also described to inform conclusions about knowledge gaps and priorities for future testing. Collectively, these lines of evidence and other considerations help communicate the complexities of PFAS treatment, strengthen research plans, standardize technology evaluator reviews, and inform realistic expectations of PFAS treatment technologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 2","pages":"30-38"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140831704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rotated potential mixing (RPM) flow is one configuration used to invoke chaotic advection and involves periodically re-oriented dipole flow through the transient switching of pressures at a series of radial wells. In this study, we relied on conventional models used by remediation practitioners to represent the expected flow and transport behavior of a conservative reagent subjected to chaotic advection by an RPM flow system, and then explored the impact of engineering controls on reagent mixing behavior. The various lines of evidence demonstrated that this modeling approach captured the key features of the expected transport behavior reported in other studies. Visual observations of the reagent distribution, and quantitative metrics of mixing behavior highlighted the different responses that are possible by the various combinations of RPM flow parameters explored. The results show the importance of combining theoretical considerations with practical limitations when designing an RPM flow system. The flow rate and pumping duration have direct consequences on the degree of reagent spreading and mixing. The use of the same RPM flow protocol in a heterogeneous <i>K</i> field led to a significantly greater degree of reagent mixing than in a homogeneous <i>K</i> system. The results from this investigation have important implications for the design of RPM flow protocols to promote enhanced reagent mixing and thereby improve treatment effectiveness.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 2","pages":"86-100"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gwmr.12648","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140662117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since then, this idea has sparked remarkable remediation innovations where processes that occur naturally in the subsurface, including biodegradation, sorption, diffusion, abiotic reactions, and volatilization are enhanced by actions specifically designed to boost their role in lowering contaminant concentrations in groundwater.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By the 1990s, the age of “Natural Attenuation” (NA) was upon us, together with vigorous ethical and technical discussions aimed at understanding and explaining why the technology was not simply a euphemism for “do nothing.” Natural attenuation proponents held that natural processes tend to be protective of human and environmental health, are more cost- and resource effective than active remediation, and less risky by minimizing the aggressive movement of fluids in the subsurface. On the other hand, critics contended that NA amounted to a delay tactic aimed primarily at cost savings, with little or no risk reduction over reasonable time periods. Critically, since the end of the twentieth century, advancements in site characterization and monitoring tools have refined conceptual site models and established multiple lines of evidence that NA is associated with (1) well-constrained plume development and (2) diminished risk over space and time to an acceptable level without active remediation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As NA gained acceptance, its adoption at sites became primarily dependent on evidence of biologically driven contaminant transformation as the primary attenuation mechanism. In the process, other important and effective processes, including the collective physical, geochemical, and hydrogeologic influences that can govern or complement contaminant mitigation were often overshadowed or completely overlooked. We know that chemical and physical mechanisms can play primary roles in reducing contaminant concentrations. This includes reactions with iron or manganese oxides, hydrolysis, sorption, diffusion, and dispersion, volatilization, and other mechanisms that lower a specified mass of contaminant, or contaminant mixture, in the subsurface. These processes can be influenced by, and feedback to, the biological activity in aquifers; the interconnectedness of biology, chemistry, and flow are better appreciated now than ever in the past. It is therefore intellectually, technologically, and economically wasteful to disregard any part of this compilation of processes when dealing with aquifer restoration. To improve site management and closure efforts, we need process-based conceptual site models that account for &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; the processes occurring in a groundwater system.

While much of the effort in recent years has focused on natural source zone depletion (NSZD) as the primary method for demonstrating continued hydrocarbon removal, the same data collection methods can quantify biodegradation enhancements that can sustainably increase the rate of SZD. This approach has been applied at the Guadalupe Restoration Project, one of the first sites at which NSZD measurements and monitoring technology were demonstrated. Sitewide NSZD quantification was conducted using CO₂ efflux measurements and subsurface temperature profiling. The results fell within the range of previously reported estimates that were based on soil-gas profiling in the early 2000s, demonstrating the viability of the new methods at this site. The data collection methods were then deployed during pilot testing of solar-powered bioventing. The system used seven 400-W solar panels to power a regenerative blower that delivered approximately 0.85 cubic meter per minute (30 cfm) air to the LNAPL-impacted vadose soil near the interface with the groundwater table. Soil-gas data indicated an upward fanning of injected air toward ground surface. Elevated temperature due to hydrocarbon oxidation yielded an approximate 10.2 kg day⁻¹ source depletion rate above the baseline NSZD mass removal rate over an approximate 30 m (100 ft) radius of influence, which aligned well with a 8.2 kg day⁻¹ rate estimated from CO₂ efflux measurements. Introduction of O₂ via bioventing substantially increased the LNAPL biodegradation rate from baseline NSZD processes by almost an order of magnitude. The results demonstrate that site management can proceed along a sequenced program that began with aggressive hydraulic recovery of hydrocarbon product, transitions to enhanced SZD in areas with poorly recoverable LNAPL, and then to NSZD without intervention to address residual LNAPL across the full footprint of the LNAPL bodies.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 2","pages":"72-85"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gwmr.12647","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140576170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
