Subsurface contamination by industrial chemicals is one of the most prevalent and costly environmental problems facing the United States government. This contamination problem must be managed to protect human health and the environment. Two basic strategies are used to deal with subsurface contamination: source removal and contaminant containment. While much cost and performance data are available for individual technologies associated with each of these strategies, there have been very few studies that have examined the benefits of implementing source removal technologies in order to reduce contaminant containment (and hopefully total) costs. This study examines the tradeoff between extent of source removal and the lifecycle cost of a subsurface remediation project. It has been suggested that the lifecycle cost of a remediation project may be minimized at a certain percent source removal. This study attempts to validate this concept using real world data collected from 72 completed and on-going environmental remediation projects.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
