Detailed Description
Photograph showing the generalized pilot-scale phytoremediation area (100-ft by 50-ft) near an existing shallow monitoring well (located at upper right-hand corner of grid) and along the southern riparian zone of the unnamed tributary to Sixmile Creek, which is not seen in the picture but exists just to the right. Vegetation has been removed to allow for planting of hybrid poplar trees.

Pilot-scale phytoremediation of pesticide-contaminated groundwater near Columbia, SC airport (CAE)
A pilot-scale phytoremediation system is being implemented to address shallow groundwater contaminated by residual pesticides from a landfill near West Columbia, South Carolina. The pilot-scale phytoremediation system will test the idea that fast growing hybrid poplar trees will take up shallow groundwater that contains organochlorine pesticides, such as β-BHC compounds and toxaphene, at higher...
