concentrations are brought down to one-third of concentrations observed
prior to PRB commissioning. A novel approach of coupling PRB technology
in the form of large diameter bore wells with the contamination source zone
is demonstrated through the case study. The potential applicability of PRBs in
remediating the chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination is established.
