Abstract
Although the Soviet Army (SA) withdrew from (former) Czechoslovakia in 1991, some significant environmental damage will remain for a number of years. In fact, some of the damage may never be remediated. Recent experience with site remediation following the Soviet occupation (1968–1991) of the Czech Republic has led to the following:
-
a)
an understanding of contaminant transport in a rock medium;
-
b)
the development and use of methodologies for risk analysis;
-
c)
the use and evaluation of various remediation methods;
-
d)
the development of criteria for optimum protective measures; and
-
e)
the application of new survey methods, mathematical modeling techniques, and various site monitoring approaches.
