In many cases, the application of in situ technologies evolved as a
necessity from a cost perspective. However, the basic understanding
of the mechanisms and theory behind these technologies was treated
as a "black box." Although we have seen some tremendous successes
in the application of remediation technologies over the past
several years, we have also seen many cases in which a technology
has been incorrectly or inappropriately applied. In most cases,
this misapplication has been the result of a poor understanding of
the basic concepts and mechanisms behind the technologies. Without
proper understanding, the potential for misapplication of
technologies remains a serious economic and technical threat.
