Graduate project on Geneva Superfund site (Houston, TX) consisting of:- Groundwater monitoring;- Soil and groundwater collection and sampling;- Phase 1 and Phase 2 Environmental site assessment data evaluation; Phase 3 as a retrospective approach;- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) research and modeling (OpenLCA software) of remediation technologies (Excavation/Landfilling, Slurry wall, Pump-and-Treat, Protective cap construction, Monitored natural attenuation, Local incineration); - Preparation of the final report and public presentationFinal one-year graduate project "Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Sustainable Remediation Technologies" was performed on a local Superfund site and had 2 main objectives:1. To perform a study on feasibility of OpenLCA software application for LCA of a remediation project;2. Evaluate the remediation project from LCA standpoint and review alternative sustainable approaches. Impact categories such as Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Human Toxicity, Climate Change and Freshwater Eutrophication were evaluated as main parameters. Slurry Wall installation, Pump-and-Treat, Protective Cap formation and Remote Landfilling technologies were analysed and programmed into an LCA model to create a full overview of the project's life cycle - from obtaining raw materials and gasoline usage for transport to use of machinery, construction, disposal of the contaminants and leachate treatment. Alternative scenarios - Monitored Natural Attenuation, Local Incineration and Pulsed Pump-and-Treat - were modelled for comparison. The research lead to the following conclusion: The technologies used for the site remediation were not sustainable. The main contributor to the environmental impact categories studied was construction of the Slurry Wall which should have been substituted with the Monitored Natural Attenuation which is more sustainable and less detrimental to the environment.
