Accordingly, EPA modified the original remedy to provide for air sparging/soil vapor extraction and amendment addition (i.e., injection of soil amendment into the subsurface), subsequent application of in-situ chemical oxidation, if necessary, to address the sources of contamination beneath the former drum disposal areas, and monitored natural attenuation to address the groundwater downgradient from the landfill perimeter.
