In the aftermath of the Hoe Creek II experiment the groundwater near the burn is polluted. It has been proposed to pump the polluted water out of the ground and either treat it to remove pollutants or put it in a lined evaporation pond and remove the residue to an appropriate dump site after all of the water is evaporated. NUS Corporation has done conceptual design and cost estimates for a variety of treatment or evaporation schemes. Their analysis assumes that the polluted water can be pumped out. This report investigates the validity of that assumption and evaluates some alternative schemes. This report does not repeat or review he work done by NUS Corp.
