The objective of this presentation is to discuss various porewater sampling techniques, including the pros and cons of methods, to help custodians and consultants determine the best methods for their site. A case study using multiple methods will illustrate the effectiveness of each of the samplers for use in performance monitoring.

The objective of this presentation is to share data collected during a petroleum hydrocarbon excavation from two soil screening techniques thereby allowing the audience to understand how a photoionization detector compares to near-infrared spectroscopy for rapid decision making. The main focus will be to illustrate how the near-infrared spectroscopy can be successfully used for field screening in challenging conditions where a photoionization detector would not have worked.
