DOCUMENTS
Ground Water Currents (EPA 542-N-98-006). Ground Water
Currents is a newsletter that provides descriptions and performance
data for developments in innovative ground water treatment. This
issue highlights remediation methods involving underground
stripping in deep and shallow areas, in situ anaerobic
bioremediation, and alternatives for DNAPL removal in fractured
bedrock. [June 1998, 4 pages]. View or download from

On-Site Incineration: Overview of Superfund Operating
Experience (EPA 542-R-97-012). Fifteen case studies were
prepared to obtain additional data on operating experiences for
completed incineration projects. These case studies were described
in the June TechDirect (see http://ciu-in.ora/products/costperf/incinrtn/). This report
summarizes the 15 case studies, provides technology descriptions,
and makes general observations based on individual applications

Permeable Reactive Barrier Demonstration Profiles. This
web-based document is a product of the Remediation Technologies
Development Forum, Permeable Reactive Barriers Action Team. It is
a status report on the use of permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) for
ground-water remediation in the United States, Canada, and
selected locations abroad. It is intended to provide site owners and
managers with a central source of information about the use of
PRBs. Additional profiles will be developed as sites are identified.

Profiles will be updated semi-annually, more often if new information
is received. Included in this report are profiles of ongoing and
completed pilot- and full-scale PRB demonstrations as well as
full-scale installations. The data included are site name, location,
contaminants treated, characteristics of the site, reactive material(s)
used, type of construction, installation date, installation cost, results
achieved, and point of contact for further information. The summary
reports may viewed at http://www.rtdf.org/public/permbarr/barrdocs.htm.
In Situ Permeable Flow Sensor (DOE OST #99). This report was
developed by the Department of Energy Office of Science and
Technology, Subsurface Contaminant Focus Area. This report is
designed to provide potential users with the information they need to
quickly determine if in situ permeable flow sensors would apply to a
particular environmental management problem. They are also
designed for readers who may recommend that a technology be
considered by prospective users. View or print at
