USGS/EPA Workshop on Transport and Remediation of Chlorinated Solvents in Fractured Sedimentary Rocks

USGS hosted scientists and program managers from EPA, and Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania for a one-day workshop on 25 September 2008 at the USGS NJ Water Science Center, West Trenton, NJ

This workshop presented results of multidisciplinary investigations conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (in cooperation with the U.S. Navy, Geosyntec Consultants, and ECOR Solutions) of trichloroethene (TCE) distribution, transport, and biodegradation in fractured mudstones underlying the former Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC).
