In situ solidification (ISS) is a reliable, EPA‐recognized technology for thetreatment of industrial and waste sites. ISS was employed at a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sitein Macon, Georgia, for the treatment of approximately 33,000 cubic yards of coal tar residues in the saturated zonesoil. The site is regulated by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) under the HazardousSite Rehabilitation Act (HSRA) and is located approximately four blocks from downtown Macon. This articlewill review the technical and regulatory basis for the successful use of this technology, provide an overview ofthe treatability and pilot testing used to develop the design and implementation of the treatment process, andpresent the results of the application of ISS to an MGP site. The results of groundwater monitoring, pre andpostremediation, will also be discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
