Objectif This project proposes pre-normative work aiming to design on site soil stimulation techniques for the cost-effective in situ remediation of NAPL-contaminated fractured soils of low permeability. Field-scale studies will be performed on fractured clay till site that has been heavily contaminated by NAPL. Integrated methods of multi-scale characterisation of fractured media will be employed to establish regional and local hydrological/geological models, and quantify the existing fracture networks. Chemical analyses on soil and groundwater samples and predictions of an existing macroscopic simulator of NAPL transport in fractured media (SIMUSCOPP) will set the initial conditions of contamination. The microbiological activity will be identified to evaluate the soil/water capacity for NAPL biodegradation. Hydraulic fracturing on three sites will be made and three soil stimulation scenarios differing with respect to the remediation methodology, will be carried out on all sites. The most adequate strategy will be recommended. From micro-structural properties/hydrodynamic conditions /fluid properties, and using lab-scale techniques/computational methods of the statistical physics of disordered media, the effective transport coefficients of four soil components will be determined: clay till, sand, natural fractures, artificial hydraulic fractures. From the local properties, the up-scaled transport coefficients will be determined and introduced as input data in the SIMUSCOPP simulator. The SIMUSCOPP will be extended to take into account (i) the artificial hydraulic fractures, and (ii) various remediation scenarios. Monitoring of the chemical status of soil and groundwater, and numerical predictions of the updated simulator will form databases which, in combination with cost benefit analysis, will enable us to set the criteria for the selection of the most cost-effective strategy of stimulation/remediation on similar NAPL contaminated sites.
