In Situ Treatment Of Soils Contaminated With Manufactured Gas Plant Wastes Demonstration Program

The work performed in this study is Task 015, 'In Situ Treatment of Manufactured Gas Plant Contaminated Soils Demonstration Program' of U.S. Department of Energy cooperative agreement DE-FC21-93MC30127. The contained recovery of oily waste (CROW(TM)) process removes organic contaminants from the subsurface by adaptation of secondary and heavy oil recovery technology. The technology was successfully tested in the laboratory as part of a project for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SITE Program's Emerging Technology Program. The EPA advanced the CROW process to the SITE Demonstration Program based on the laboratory performance. Additional development of the process has included a pilot test at an active wood treatment facility. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate and evaluate the effectiveness of the CROW process for remediation of a site contaminated primarily with a dense organic fluid. The site selected for this demonstration project was a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) site located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
