The contamination of soil and ground water from leaking USTs has become widespread and has produced an overwhelming number of sites that require remediation.

Environmental assessments, site characterizations, remediation planning, and remediation methods are all covered in detail. The book is an essential guide for environmental consultants, regulatory agency personnel, engineers, and environmental attorneys.
