Horizontal Remediation Wells Offer Environmental Remediation Benefits
According to the US EPA, about 75 percent of soil and groundwater pollution is a result of petroleum hydrocarbon spills. Most of that contamination occurs within 50 feet of the surface. Depending on site conditions, contaminants migrate down to an impermeable layer in the soil, such as bedrock or the water table. Contamination of this type is often found in horizontal planes of contamination in thin layers.
