In Situ Remediation Technology Status Report: Research and Application of Permeable Barriers
1998
This document is an attempt to compile worldwide research efforts and applications in the field of permeable reactive barriers (PRB). Research projects are organized by the type of contamination treated (organics or inorganics) and by the type of reaction process (sorption, precipitation, substitution, or degradation), and then by the specific material. Field projects are organized by state, province, or country.

Nano Zero Valent Iron: THE Solution for Water and Soil Remediation?
Mueller, N.C. and B. Nowack.
ObservatoryNANO Focus Report, 34pp, 2010
This report gives an overview of the characteristics and application of nano-scale zero-valent iron (nZVI) and summarizes European experiences using nZVI in groundwater remediation. A table of European pilot projects is provided with brief descriptions of three full-scale applications, one in Germany and two in the Czech Republic.
Naval Weapons Station Charleston, SC: An Innovative Technology Test Site
NWS Charleston, SC, Web Page, 2004
This Web page focuses on the various innovative site characterization and remediation technologies (phytoremediation and permeable reactive barriers) implemented at the Naval Weapons Station Charleston, SC.
Permeable Reactive Barrier Network (PRB-Net)
The Permeable Reactive Barrier Network (PRB-Net) was established at the Environmental Engineering Research Centre, School of Civil Engineering, Queens University, Belfast (Stranmillis, Northern Ireland) with funding from the UK EPSRC to disseminate information about PRBs and provide a link between authorities, academia, and industry. This multinational inter-disciplinary network intends to increase PRB technology awareness amongst the industrial, regulatory, and scientific community.
Permeable Reactive Barriers & Reactive Zones — PRB/RZ 2010: Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium, Antwerp, July 6-8, 2010
Bastieaens, L. (ed.). VITO NV, Mol, Belgium. ISBN: 9789058570000, 90 pp, 2010
PRBs and reactive zones are recognized technologies for the in situ improvement of the groundwater quality. Both technologies aim to realize in situ stimulation of pollutant removal processes to prevent further migration of pollution. This symposium integrated the final conference of the MULTIBARDEM LIFE project (LIFE06 EBV/B/000359) in the PRB/RZ-symposium. MULTIBARDEM conducted pilot-scale multibarrier demonstrations.

Superfund Remedy Report, Thirteenth Edition
EPA-542-R-10-004, 2010
The Superfund Remedy Report (SRR), Thirteenth Edition, formerly called the Treatment Technologies for Site Cleanup: Annual Status Report (ASR), was published by the EPA Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) in September 2010. The SRR presents the analysis of Superfund remedial actions based on: (1) remedies selected in Records of Decision (ROD) and ROD amendments, and (2) actions modified in Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD), for fiscal years (FY) 2005 - 2008. The SRR also follows trends in remedy selection using ASR data from FY 1982 - 2004 combined with SRR data. The SRR analyzes remedies selected or modified in 594 decision documents, but does not include project-specific updates that were presented in past editions of ASR. In addition, SRR also includes brief project highlights related to green remediation, in situ bioremediation, and high resolution site characterization. The online version includes downloadable appendices with data for several key tables and figures in the report and new appendices that summarize all the remedy components selected for sources and groundwater in each individual decision document.
