Since the publication of the first edition of Restoration of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminated Aquifers, the environmental establishment has made significant progress with in-situ remediation and natural attenuation. The new edition broadens the scope of the first and emphasizes the remediation of Non-aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLs), Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPLs), and the growing role of natural attenuation. The second edition features an improved introduction and new sections on site characterization, remediation economics and site closure. And unlike other books on this subject, the new edition offers vital managerial and project management guidance.

Reviews for Restoration of Contaminated Aquifers: Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Organic Compounds, Second Edition
expands the scope of the earlier text by examining all forms of hydrocarbon contamination. These authors are pros having over 60 years experience in the environmental fieldTheir contribution to the profession is the easy to understand language of these highly technical conceptsa homerunWithout compromising clarity, the authors provide a text that can be used by three separate groups of users: new hires, students, and the practicing professionalthis book is cohesive and flows nicely from one chapter to another, hitting on the most important concepts. -James A.
