ARTEMIS assists our clients in the alignment of business objectives and existing remediation programs, developing site strategies that are appropriate and on target. Many remediation programs have continued to operate for a number of years without a critical look at overall performance, advances in technology that could benefit remediation economics, changes in property values, and overall business goals. ARTEMIS' ability to apply senior level technical direction and innovative technologies to on-going or planned remediation programs has resulted in shortened program schedules, reduced costs, and focused, site-specific goals.

The Project: To determine if the existing groundwater extraction and low-flow air stripping system was cost-effectively remediating a TCE plume and to assess potential applicability for innovative remedial technologies to enhance cleanup times.
The Role: ARTEMIS was the Strategic Review leader, garnering Program objectives from corporate and facility representatives, and directing the short- and long-term goals of the existing consulting team.
The Challenge: Directing existing consultants without having them feel threatened.
The Result: Analysis of performance data lead to the discovery of a previously-unidentified TCE source area. An SVE treatment system is currently in the design stage. This system will significantly reduce the project life cycle, thus meeting corporate and facility objectives.

The Project: ARTEMIS was selected to perform a third-party review as to the adequacy of existing site characterization data and the effectiveness of an in-situ bioremediation treatment system.
The Role: ARTEMIS was the Strategic Review leader, determining program objectives from corporate and facility representatives and developing site strategy with a team of existing consultants from three different firms. ARTEMIS was later selected as the Program Manager and continues to coordinate all remedial activities at this complex site.
The Challenge: Identifying the optimum site solution while factoring in complex and dynamic site conditions.
The Result: The originally disjointed project team has successfully worked together for over 1.5 years at the direction of ARTEMIS to develop a comprehensive data set and the framework for a sustainable site solution. The existing remediation system was found to be only partially effective, and innovative DNAPL recovery and VOC remediation systems are being investigated.

The Project: To determine if and existing groundwater extraction and air stripping system was cost-effectively remediating a VOC plume and to assess potential applicability for innovative remedial technologies to enhance cleanup times.
The Role: ARTEMIS was the Strategic Review leader.
The Challenge: Determining overall performance for a multi-plume system.
The Result: Concept for multi-depth plumes was challenged and determined to be based on a conceptual site model and not site data. Site direction is now to perform additional characterization to delineate vertical extent of plumes as well as potential for monitored natural attenuation. Evaluation of chemical oxidation technology is to be performed to determine if overall project costs and cleanup times can be reduced.
