Question: 1 1 - 2 . A sampling program at a Superfund site indicated the following DNAPL zones: A pool of free - phase DNAPL in
A sampling program at a Superfund site indicated the following DNAPL zones:
A "pool" of freephase DNAPL in a stratigraphic depression in an unfractured clay. The pool is in area and averages ft in thickness.
A zone of residual DNAPL extending directly underneath an old pit in area. The residual zone extends through the ft thick unsaturated zone and ft through the saturated zone until it reaches the DNAPL pool.
Other Data: Laboratory tests of mgs of hydrocarbons on the soil and engineering judgment provided the following saturation data:
Residual saturation in the unsaturated zone:
Residual saturation in the saturated zone:
Saturation in the freephase zone:

a What is the estimated total volume of DNAPL at the site?
b How much is pumpable from a theoretical basis?
Assume a typical porosity value of This should be considered an upper range estimate of the total recoverable volume. Actual volumes are usually much lower
