Project Overview
Significant technology gaps limit our ability to
understand the inventory, distribution, and movement of contaminants
in the vadose zone and to predict the movement and fate of these
contaminants. There are currently several treatment options available
for DNAPL that require location and distribution is described so
that the treatment can effectively target the high concentration
areas. Current techniques to measure DNAPL in the vadose and groundwater
using sensors attached to cone penetrometers exist. However, no
single sensor can repeatedly detect and measure DNAPL concentrations
in all soils. The Cone Penetrometer Off-Surface Sensor (CPOSS) tool
has been completed without attached sensors.
