As we continue to face ever-increasing requirements for contaminant-free water, the process of eliminating harmful contaminants for safe disposal or consumption becomes more critical. Contaminated ground or surface waters may be due to a variety of factors such as leaking underground storage tanks, improper chemical disposal practices, or surface water run-off from industrial processes. Heavy metals and other types of contaminants can concentrate in construction dewatering and surface runoff waters. These contaminants can occur due to current or historical chemical processes or may be naturally occurring. Since these contaminants will have a negative impact on human health and ecological risks, their removal from the soil, groundwater, sediment, or surface water through the use of biological, chemical, and physical treatment technologies is critical to restoring the water to a safe and environmentally sound condition.
