| Geographical representativeness description | For this project, a Superfund location at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is studied. This particular case was chosen because it is representative of the scale and scenario where soil grouting would be used. It is also one of only a few sites where CS grouting has been used for full scale remediation. BNL has served as a production facility for research and development of radioisotopes for decades. The design of some of the facilities failed to provide adequate safety measures against the spread of radioactivity to the soils and groundwater beneath them and as a result, BNL was added to the Superfund National Priorities List in 1989. |

| Use advice for data set | Users of this data set should apply the information within the context of large-scale soil remediation projects where cement slurry barriers are appropriate. The example provided represents scenarios with soil contamination, particularly in areas with radioactive substances. Users must consider the scale of the application as this data is representative of full-scale remediation at a Superfund site. Methodological attention is required on the cement's properties and its effectiveness in creating an impermeable barrier to protect soils and groundwater. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The data set describes a process used to manufacture cement with application in soil risk control via construction of vertical cement slurry barriers. This process includes the steps of calcination and clinker grinding. The specific use case provided is the soil grouting at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) which serves as a remediation technique to prevent the spread of contaminants from facilities producing radioisotopes. |
