Studies of sediment from seven sampling stations in the Upper Rockaway River, New Jersey, showed that sediment quality correspondent to the land-use data for the area (Smith et al. 1987). The two upstream stations, which drain primarily forested areas of the Upper Rockaway Basin, had low mirex concentrations in the sediments (<0.1pg/kg). The remaining stations, which drained an area consisting of residential, commercial, and industrial land including six EPA Superfund sites, had mirex concentrations ranging from 8.2 to 80 pg/kg (ppb) (Smith et al. 1987).

Based on data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) demonstration, the total cost for PF extraction was estimated to be 307/kg of trichloroethene (TCE) removed. This demonstration was conducted over a 4-week period in August and September of 1992 at an industrial site in Somerville, New Jersey. The cost estimate includes expenses associated with both PF and soil vapor extraction. Major cost factors were labor (29%), capital equipment (22%), VOC emission control (19%), site preparation (11%), and residuals management (10%) (D10589F, p. v).

In 2000, cost estimates for the NoVOCs system were calculated based on a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) demonstration at North Island Naval Air Station in California. One-time capital costs for the NoVOCs system were estimated to be 190,000. Operational costs were an additional 160,000 for the first year and 150,000 for each additional year. Factoring in a 4% annual inflation rate, total costs are as follows 350,000 for 1 year, 670,000 for 3 years, 1,000,000 for 5 years, and 2,000,000 for 10 years of operation. At the North Island site, a Thermatrix flameless oxidation system (T0795) was also used as part of the treatment train. The Thermatrix system cost an additional 989,000 (D21594L, pp. ES-8, ES-9). 

Cost estimates were prepared for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) demonstration in June 1992 based on data from the vendor and data gathered during the evaluation. Costs were presented on a cost-per-ton basis. Estimates were given for different feed rates of the tested PACT-6 pilot-scale system, as well as for the PACT-8 full-scale system. Cost estimates were prepared for treatment rates of the PACT-6 of 500 Ib/hr and 1000 Ib/hr. The estimated treatment rate of the PACT-8 was 2200 Ib/hr. Eor each treatment rate, estimates were included for online factors of 50 and 70%. Eor a feed rate of 500 Ib/hr and an online factor of 70%, the cost is estimated at 1816. Eor a feed rate of 2200 Ib/hr, with the same 70% online factor, the cost is 757 (D104585, p. 1). These costs are summarized in Table 1. 

In 1991, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) demonstration program evaluated the AquaDetox/SVE system. The demonstration took place at the San Fernando Valley Groundwater Basin Superfund site in Burbank, California. Based on this demonstration, cost estimates for a full-scale deployment of the system were prepared. Three treatment flow rates were evaluated, based on the 1200-gallon-per-minute (gpm) system used at the Lockheed site 500, 1000, and 3000 gpm. Capital costs and annual operational and maintenance (O M) costs were estimated in 1991 dollars and are shown in Table 1.

Times Beach was one of the most extensive cleanups in US EPA Superfund history. The cleanup effort officially began when, in 1983, the US EPA added the site to the first Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) for further investigation and long-term cleanup actions. After the site was listed, the US EPA permanently relocated > 2000 people and tore down all of the homes and businesses.
