MOhemp Hazmat Phytoremediation Diagrams

___________

The following diagrams are examples of the proposed

 MOhemp Hazmat 5 stage phytoremediation treatment train 

This couples the benefits of low cost phytoremediation and phytoextraction techniques for the Westlake Landfill and Coldwater Creek areas to naturally remove hazmat soil contaminants.

The landfill is divided into multiple sectors, within which are two operable units (OU), OU-1 and OU-2.  In addition to the radioactivity from the dumped barium sulfate cake, soil samples also indicate the presence of many more radioactive materials, including uranium, thorium, and elements resulting from their decay.

• OU-1 covers 940 cubic yards (720 m3) on the surface (based on soil depth of 6 inches or 150 millimetres) and 24,000 cubic yards (18,000 m3) subsurface

• OU-2 covers 8,700 cubic yards (6,700 m3) on the surface and 109,000 cubic yards (83,000 m3) subsurface
