Case studies show some eyebrow‐raising discrepancies between estimated contamination levels and the actual levels measured at the point of remediation. The three site investigations did not provide nearly enough information for estimating the magnitude of the cleanup effort. Inadequate numbers of samples and improper sampling design and analyses provided an unrepresentative picture of the true site conditions.
