Spatial Variation of Characteristics in the Zone of Incorporation at an Industrial Waste Land Treatment Site

Source

The spatial variation in the characteristics of the zone of incorporation (ZOI) at an industrial waste land treatment site can be significant even when efforts are taken to achieve uniform distribution and incorporation. A single grab sample can be inappropriate for determining average ZOI characteristics.

The results of this study provide guidance in determining the number of samples necessary to provide reliable estimates of ZOI characteristics. The spatial variation at land treatment sites is a function of site-specific factors such as soil characteristics and methods of waste application and incorporation. A determination of specific site spatial variation is recommended as a prerequisite for developing an appropriate sampling program at land treatment sites.
