treatment concurrent with encapsulation
Contaminant(s) of Concern: PAHs (polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons); PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls); and metals. AquaBlok Cap
Design / Site Area: Multi-layer design. Design comprised of a basal layer
of hydrated AquaBlok (~4 inches or ~10 cm in target thickness) covered by
