The following text was excerpted from marketing information provided by GSI Environnement<br />

(formerly Ecosite, <strong>In</strong>c.), 965 Newton Ave., Office 270, Québec City, Qc. Canada G1P 4M4 in<br />

August 1998:<br />

A residential property including several houses and utilities was located next to a former petroleum<br />

plant, and contaminated beneath houses with gasoling (BTEX) and diesel (MOG). Contaminants<br />

were present at concentrations of 10,500 ppm (MOG), 50 ppm (benzene), and 45 ppm (toluene).<br />

The 1,000 m3 (approx. 1,300 yd3) contaminated zone extended from 1,0 to 2.6 m (3.3 to 8.5 ft)<br />

below ground surface (bgs), and was comprised of organic soil (peat moss). Due to high levels of<br />

soil contamination remaining at the adjacent plant, hydraulic barriers to stop the migration of the<br />

contaminants to the residential area were provided. <strong>In</strong>stallation of a vertical cutoff wall, using<br />

synthetic liners and leachate drainage network, was also necessary to recover free phase present.<br />

Several technologies were combined to lower caontamination to residential levels. While<br />

proceeding with vacuum extraction and biosparging, <strong>In</strong>jecsol TM as used to recover the free phase<br />

and for in situ flushing of the contaminated soil beneath the houses. A surfactant was developed<br />

from a laboratory treatability study to allow highly efficient treatment. Work was completed leaving<br />

all existing infrastructures in place and ensuring long term safety for the residents. Contamination<br />

was lowered to concentrations of 1,000 ppm (MOG) over a 12 month project duration, at a cost of<br />

+/- $300,000. (Canadian).<br />
