Soil and Groundwater Research
About Groundwater
The API Soil and Groundwater Technical Group provides an expert, multidisciplinary focal point with API to address soil and groundwater issues. The Task Group identifies and defines emerging technical issues , and develops research programs to address these issues.
Baildown Testing Video
Training video to facilitate successful performance of baildown testing to estimate LNAPL transmissivity.
GWSDAT
GWSDAT is an open source, user-friendly, software application for the visualisation and interpretation of groundwater monitoring data.
LNAPL
The LNAPL Resource Center contains manuals, software and other technical material to help you address cleanup of free-phase petroleum hydrocarbons in the shallow subsurface.
API Groundwater Arsenic Manual
This February 2011 report is focused on the mobilization and attenuation of naturally-occurring arsenic at petroleum impacted sites.
Vapor Intrusion
Vapor Intrusion refers to the migration of vapors from subsurface contaminant sources to buildings such as homes or workplaces. API conducts research towards improving the screening process for vapor intrusion at sites where petroleum releases have occurred.
Oxygenates
This page is a portal to technical information on fuel oxygenates in soil and groundwater.
Tech Bulletins
API Soil and Groundwater Research Bulletins summarize research results from projects overseen by API's Soil and Groundwater Technical Task Force.
Other Groundwater Links & Info
API and the California MTBE Research Partnership have produced a software utility to help site managers, water purveyors, and regulators evaluate the sensitivity of a groundwater resource to a potential release of compounds of concern (e.g., an MTBE-oxygenated fuel) at a particular site.
