‐ Data and monitoring needs can change betweenData and monitoring needs can change between injection events
‐ Be aware that pH changes in groundwater can p g gmobilize metals even if you are dealing with an organic source area

R b dReboundOccurs due to multiple processes:Occurs due to multiple processes:‐ Dissolution of residual NAPL into dissolved phase‐ Desorption of sorbed soil sources into dissolved phase‐ Desorption of sorbed soil sources into dissolved phase‐ Back‐diffusion from low‐K matrices to high‐K matrices‐ Advection of contamination from outside injection‐ Advection of contamination from outside injection areas

R b dRebound‐ Indicates remaining source but difficult to quantify howIndicates remaining source but difficult to quantify how much remains
‐ Soil data collected from post‐injection boring programs is a better indicator of residual mass than groundwater alone
‐ Rebound more likely to occur in heterogeneous low‐‐ Rebound more likely to occur in heterogeneous, low‐permeability environments as a result of back‐diffusion from low‐K matrix blocks into high‐K areas (f / h h fl i f i l)(fractures/pathways where flow is preferential)
![Page 29: Andrews - Implementation and System Operation](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012516/618fb8585957d40d586a878d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Add i R b dAddressing Rebound‐ If heterogeneity issues are identified during siteIf heterogeneity issues are identified during site characterization, use of an oxidant with longer half‐life may be effective in addressing some amount of rebound (longer contact time)
‐ Since rebound indicates residual source, another way to address it is additional injections
![Page 30: Andrews - Implementation and System Operation](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012516/618fb8585957d40d586a878d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
R b dRebound‐ Observations of where rebound is occurring and atObservations of where rebound is occurring and at what magnitude can be useful in evaluating where residual source areas exist
‐ Can be used to determine where additional injections need to be applied
