| The
most meaningful analysis to compare the relative performance and
cost effectiveness of various remedial technologies is to quantify
the removal cost of the contaminant (i.e. $/pound or $/gallon to
remove the contaminant). Contaminant removal costs is true measure
when comparing the cost effectiveness of various technologies.

Free product sites considered in this analysis consist
of all sites that contained >0.01 feet of free product. These
costs are all inclusive [e.g. mobilization/demobilization, project
management, reporting, invoicing, field personnel, equipment, fluid
disposal, offgas treatment (if necessary), subcontractors, etc.].
