About this Item

Volume I Ground Water and Contamination is 144 Pages. Volume II Ground Water Methodology is 141 Pages. This Handbook is EPA/625/6-90/016a September 1990. There are two instances of yellow hi-lighting on pages one and two and a quick thumb-thru did not reveal others In recent years, scientific knowledge about ground-water systems has been increasing rapidly. Researchers in the Office of Research and Development have made improvements in technology for assessing the subsurface, in adapting techniques from other disciplines to successfully identify specific contaminants in ground water, in assessing the behavior of certain chemicals in some geologic materials and in advancing the state-of-the-art of remedial technologies. An important part of EPA's ground-water research program is to transmit research information to decision makers, field managers and the scientific community. This publication has been developed to assist that effort and, additionally, to help satisfy an immediate Agency need to promote the transfer of technology that is applicable to ground-water contamination control and prevention. The need exists for a resource document that brings together available technical information in a form convenient for ground-water personnel within EPA and state and local governments on whom EPA ultimately depends for proper ground-water management. The information contained in this handbook is intended to meet that need. It is applicable to many programs that deal with the ground-water resource. However, it is not intended as a guidance or support document for a specific regulatory program. Volume I Contents: Basic Geology, Classification of Ground Water Regions, Ground Water-Surface Water Relationship, Basic Hydrogeology, Ground-Water Contamination, Ground-Water Investigations, and Ground-Water Restoration. Volume II Contents: Monitoring Well Design and Construction, Ground-Water Sampling, Transport and Fate of Contaminants in the Subsurface, Ground Water Tracers, Introduction to Aquifer Test Analysis, and Models and Computers in Ground-Water Investigations.
