Current Progress
Field Characterization
Real-time mercury detection and monitoring are the key needs at the site. Mercury quantification and characterization in surface soil and rubble will permit efficient waste segragation, treatment, and disposal. Field characterization studies will improve understanding and prediction of mercury distribution, speciation, transformation and transport in karst.
Objectives:- Develop and field test innovative tools and approaches to locate and identify mercury source zones
- Develop and evaluate laboratory-based techniques to characterize and speciate mercury source zones and investigate transport pathways
Tracer test to determine flow paths
Mercury in subsurface sediment
