Vegetated Treatment of Vehicle Wash Sediments: Development of a Decision Support Tree

2011

The design of natural treatment systems that use vegetation is a developing area of research. In order to move this technique from research to practical use, a system to assist potential users in the proper design is needed. This paper will present a decision support tree designed to assist in the planning of a natural treatment system for a contaminated soil, using vegetation. This support tree has the potential to offer the background needed for design rather than requiring the user to possess this background. By using the support tree, persons seeking choices regarding information on the design of a vegetated treatment option can find simple and generalized solutions. The objective of this paper is to show an initial guide for a vegetated treatment option, the decision support tree. The decision support tree will require input from the user. The input would consist of answering a few questions related to the type of contamination, soil, and climate. From this input, the decision ...

GIS Based Decision Support Tool for Remediation Technology Selection

2000

Abstract: - Development,and use of remediation technologies for contaminated,soils and water progresses at a very fast pace and thus a large ,number ,of cleanup ,alternatives emerge. The selection of the ,most appropriate Remediation technology for the given site must be based on many, usually conflicting, criteria. To successfully apply all these criteria a multicriteria decision support system ,(DSS) is needed.

Remediation Strategy for Soil and Groundwater Pollution - RemS - A Decision Support Tool

2009

Danish environmental authorities undertake investigations, risk assessments and soil and groundwater remediation projects on a large number of sites. These projects are publicly funded and often involve several stakeholders. Therefore requirements are high in terms of cost effectiveness, environmental friendly solutions and decisions that are both transparent and well documented. The Capital Region of Denmark, Information Centre on Contaminated Sites DANISH REGIONS and the Danish EPA have in collaboration with NIRAS and DTU Environment – developed a decision support tool (RemS) to assist in the planning and projecting phase when remedial techniques and strategies are decided on a specific site. RemS combine the most important decision parameters:  Remediation efficiency and local secondary effects (positive and negative)  Environmental impact from the remediation activities (LCA screening)  Economic costs  Time Basic results from the site investigations comprising geological str...
