TCE was discharged into the aquifer at the site of a spill in Sindelfingen, Germany. The<br />

contaminated aquifer is a high-permeability (k= 5.10 x 10-4 m/sec) layer overlying a clay barrier.<br />

Soil flushing was accomplished by infiltrating water into the ground through ditches. The leaching<br />

liquid and polluted groundwater were pumped out of eight wells and treated with activated carbon.<br />

The treated water was recycled through the infilration ditches. Within 18 months, 17 metric tons of<br />

chlorinated hydrocarbons were recovered.<br />
