Soil Treatability Study
DOE is preparing to see which soil treatment technologies, if any, can effectively address soil contamination in Area IV. The Soil Treatability Study has been designed to evaluate if there are any in situ (in-place) treatment technologies that could effectively meet the requirements of the 2010 Administrative Order on Consent.

Soil Treatability Study Meetings
October 25, 2011 :
On October 25, 2011 the DOE Soil Treatability Study Kick-off Meeting took place. During the meeting attendees learned about the overall study design, screening criteria and had the opportunity to provide suggestions for technologies that should be considered. Here is the presentation and tri-fold handout from that meeting.
January 30, 2012 :
The second Soil Treatability Study meeting took place on January 30, 2012. During this meeting, Dr. Charles Newell presented an overview on soil remediation technologies.
