ABSTRACT:
Decontamination is provided by establishing a borehole into the vadose zone, introducing porous fill material into the borehole, positioning a hollow conduit into the borehole, and applying suction to the conduit and the borehole to reduce pressure and cause air and contaminant vapors to move through the vadose zone and into the borehole and through the porous fill material contained therein.
