| Description | Restoration or cleanup of a contaminated aquifer usually involves also addressing the contaminated soils at the vadose zone. The residual contaminants in the vadose need to be treated or removed to prevent the continuous feed of contaminants to groundwater due to leaching, rainfall percolation, or groundwater table fluctuations. Several techniques are available to treat contaminants in the vadose zone. These techniques include excavation and removal, physical treatments, biological treatments, thermal treatments, and stabilization treatments. Selecting the appropriate method depends on the volume of soils to be handled, the type of soils and contaminants, the regulatory requirements, and costs.
