Popis:	Environmental conditions and the initial attempt to recover JP-4 jet fuel from a shallow aquifer at a tank farm in Hanahan, South Carolina, in 1975, allowed the jet fuel to become stratigraphically trapped below the water table. The trapped jet fuel remained an undetected source of dissolved hydrocarbon contamination in shallow ground water in the area for 17 years. The trapped jet fuel was located when a variety of chemical, hydrologic, geologic, and historical evidence led investigators to install and sample deeper wells. These findings emphasize the need to use an integrated approach to evaluating the data when determining the extent of contamination and planning fuel recovery operations in a lithologically heterogeneous aquifer.
