Introduction

Over 80 percent of the most serious hazardous waste sites in the U.S. have adversely impacted the quality of nearby ground water (the water present underground in tiny spaces in rocks and soil). Just as the ground water cleanup process is complex, so are the issues behind the methods and techniques EPA uses to determine the best approach for each site. This brochure explains some of the approaches EPA uses to clean up ground water contamination and, most importantly, offers information on how citizens can help reduce and prevent ground water contamination.
