Case Studies
- Using Phytoremediation to Control Fuel Oxygenate Plumes in Northern Climates
2008.
Prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey, this Web page provides information on work conducted by USGS scientists and their partners on the use of phytoremediation to contain and remediate a subsurface plume of gasoline located on the Flathead Indian Reservation near Ronan, Montana. Links to reports and additional resources are included. - Volatile Organic Compounds in the Nation's Ground Water and Drinking-Water Supply Wells 2006.
Published by the U.S. Geological Survey, this report presents the results of a national assessment of VOCs in ground water, with an emphasis on the occurrence of VOCs in aquifers that are used as an important supply of drinking water.
State Reports
