March 1984, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration notified the EPA of finding tumors on fish in Eagle Harbor
In 1985, a public health advisory was issued on shellfish and fishing in the harbor
July 1987, the site was added to the National Priorities List by the EPA

Physical processes/changesPhysical processes/changes
•Viscosity of NAPLs is reduced by heating.
•Vapor pressure increases markedly with temperature.
•DNAPL density is reduced.
•NAPL-water interfacial tensions are lowered.
•Water solubility increases, and dissolution rates go up 2-5 times.
•Adsorption coefficients are reduced
30
Disturb the NAPL equilibrium
-Heat (increase mobility + volatility)
-Flush (liquids and vapor)
-Cycle pressure (boil and mix)
-Stimulate degradation
31
Operational targetsOperational targets
1. Establish hydraulic and pneumatic control.
2. Heat the target volume (area, depth).
3. Flush and optimize mass removal until NAPL recovery drops off.
4. Pressure cycling to optimize vaporization and mixing, and to achieve diminishing returns.
5. Controlled cool-down and transition to polishing technique.

Lessons LearnedLessons LearnedWaste recovery and treatment system design must be robust – assume more NAPL removal Shakedown period between contactors required Contracting mechanism used must allow for flexibility in scopeQA on selection of materials for chemical incompatibility required Contingency funding must be available at startupPlan for design modifications in the field (i.e. additional wellinstallation)Need a team to watch the subsurface and digest the data daily
