Biography

Recent research focus has been on the impact of ground water and vapor intrusion into homes and buildings. The field component of this research has been conducted at the Raymark Superfund site in Stratford, CT. For the past several years the focus of her research has been permeable reactive barriers for in situ chromate remediation. Most of this research has been conducted at the U.S. Coast Guard Support Center site near Elizabeth City, NC. Field and laboratory studies have involved extensive site characterization, batch and column studies, and a field-scale pilot test. Results of this study led to the installation of a full-scale permeable reactive barrier in June 1996. She has also been involved in laboratory studies to evaluate liquid reductants for in situ chromate remediation. Results of this study led to a field-scale pilot study in July 1999 at the U.S. Coast Guard Support Center site near Elizabeth City, NC. Ms. Paul has also participated in extensive field research which led to the development of low-flow sampling methodology for ground water. Current research areas include natural attenuation of arsenic and chromium. This includes laboratory batch studies and field studies where she has been involved in site characterization efforts being conducted at the Industri-Plex Superfund Site in Woburn, MA. Other research areas include adsorption- desorption and oxidation-reduction reactions of inorganics as related to subsurface contaminant fate and transport.

Ms. Paul is the work assignment manager for the on-site contract for inorganic analysis for subsurface protection and remediation.
