The vadose zone soils at the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department (NMSHTD) District 2 Maintenance Patrol Yard in Artesia, New Mexico (Artesia Yard) consist primarily of massive to poorly stratified silty clay, clay, or clayey silt. Soils of such low permeability (<10 10 square centimeters) are generally not amenable to the use of SVE (U.S. EPA 1995). However, as this case history shows, operation of a high-vacuum SVE system, with periodic monitoring and adjustment, can be very successful in removing sizeable secondary sources of petroleum hydrocarbons (both PSH and residual soil contamination) from the subsurface.

Extraction of lead with EDTA was rapid, reaching uilibrium within a contact time of 1.0 h. Extraction of lead with NTA was slower a contact time of approximately 3.0 h was required to reach equilibrium. The order of lead removal efficiency for the various extractive agents was as follows EDTA NTA water. The maximum lead removals observed for dus high clay and silt soil were 64.2,19.1, and 6.8%, respectively, for the cases of EDTA, NTA, and water used as the extractive agents on soil with 10,0(X) mg Pb/kg.

We got the undisturbed soil sample with circular knife after completion of the filling slope. The silt soil saturated permeability coefficient was measured by k = 1.9 x lO" m/s through the variable head. The silt effective cohesive force was 1.92 kPa, the angle of internal friction was 13 . The sandy soil saturated permeability coefficient was measured by k = 2.4 x KT m/s through the variable head. The sandy effective cohesive force was 0 kPa, the angle of internal friction was 34.3°. The rainfall intensity was 18 mm/h.

The capability of a rhamnolipid was evaluated for its ability to remove another organic contaminant, pentachlorophenol (PCP), from soil by foam production [2]. The stabihty of the rhamnolipid foam was exceUent and the quality was 99%. When the foam was injected into contaminated soil with a 1000 mg/kg level of PCP, 60 and 61% of the PCP could be removed from a fine sand and sandy-silt soil, respectively. The advantage of the foam is... 

Silt Soil passing No. 200 sieve nonplastic or very sli tly plastic, and exhibiting little or no strength when air-dried. 

Most silt soils need some sort of drainage. In certain coastal areas there has to be a pitmped system in order for the water table to be lowered and arable crops grown.

Studies of microstructural changes in a silt soil in which contamination by various hydrocarbons was arranged, were carried out in the same large-scale controlled environment facility previously used for investigations of defotmation of a pipeline by freeze-thaw effects (Williams, 1992).
