| LEGEND FOR COLORS (FATE AND TRANSPORT MECHANISMS) | |||||||||||
| Chemical, due to high density, likely to sink beneath water table within the secondary porosity of fractured rock. | |||||||||||
| Chemical, due to relatively high solubility, likely to have significant matrix/back diffusion if in bedrock with high primary porosity | |||||||||||
| Chemical, due to high sorbtion characteristic, likely to be retarted in transport and could act as long term reservoir in both primary and secondary porosity | |||||||||||
| Chemical likely degraded through abiotic mechanisms if encountered in bedrock of certain types (e.g., pyrite, or high iron content bedrock) | |||||||||||
| Chemical that because of its boiling point may be amenable to electrical resistivity heating (ERH) or conductivity heating removal technologies | |||||||||||
| Chemical because of its volatility or tendancy to partition from groundwater to vapor, may be present in vapor phase within unsaturated zone | |||||||||||
| Chemical because of its vapor density, and if present in high concentrations, may sink in unsaturated zone and contaminate groundwater | |||||||||||
