Treating groundwater for drinking purposes is quite different from treating it for site remediation. However, given that aquifer cleanup goals are becoming more stringent, it has been suggested that drinking water treatment technology be integrated into groundwater remediation strategies as a final polishing step and as a means of meeting the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act. This article discusses how traditional drinking water treatment technologies could be used for dealing with hazardous waste sites, including cost, performance, and applicability. Pump and treat technology as used in groundwater remediation is compared with that employed in drinking water applications. Includes 13 references, tables, figures.
