News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Subsurface contamination in soil and groundwater is tradit ionally assessed and remediated using verticallydrilled borings. Data collected from vertical borings (sample collection, geophysical logs, soil logs, water levels, etc.) is then interpolated/extrapolated across the site. Contaminant distr ibution and lithologies canoften be misinterpreted because of data interpolatio n/extrapolation. This can lead to a poor conceptual site model and ultimately co stly improper remedial actions. Locations for subsequent vertical borings todel ineate the extent of subsurface contamination are not informed in real-time. Cos tly re-mobilizationof drill rigs is often required to complete subsurface conta minant delineation. The locations available forvertical borings are limited by location of surface infrastructure. Horizontal remediation wells are availableb ut have limited utility because they rely on a surface launched drilling rig and only drill in a prescribedpath with a relevantly shallow arc.
