Contaminant Plume related to Site Condition & Contaminant Source Precipitation Landfill or waste disposal Ground surface Leachate "Stationary" groundwater Pervious soil Contaminant wta plume Aquitard, impervious
SCOPE of Environmental Geotechnics Assessment of pollutants being discharged on/in the soil deposits (Disposal/Handling/storage) Process by which the pollutants travel in geo-environment (Contaminant Transport) Protection of ground water aquifers from contamination (Containment) Methods of cleaning the contaminated sites (Remediation)
Spread of Contaminant(s) Precipitation (Waste-Environment Interaction) Containment /Barrier (Sheet pile/grout) Landfill G.L. Soil Stationary W.T. Leachate Contaminant plume Hard rock (Impervious,Aquitard)
Spread of Contaminant (another scenario) Precipitation Calls for: Modeling (to predict transport & fate of contaminants in geoenvironment) Validation Landfill G.L. Monitoring Soil Extent (time & space) Moving W.T. Intensity Concentration plume Hard rock (Impervious,Aquitard)
