Abstract
Groundwater contaminated with trichlo-roethylene was detected in Vero Beach, Florida in October 1978. The contaminated water was pumped from the ground and air sprayed into a drainage canal. After the initial increase in concentration when pumping began, the contamination level of the discharged water began to decline; the rate of removal varied for each compound present in the water. This treatment scheme resulted in 70 to 80% removal efficiencies for these compounds. The total amount of contaminants removed from the Spill Site from April 1981 to December 1983 was approximately 3,600 kg.
