ON THE WEB When contamination seeps into the soil and rock below the ground surface, it can be difficult to locate and treat. Hydraulic fracturing of the geology can help but it must be properly controlled. Frac Rite Environmental Ltd. can perform such tasks. Their white paper describes a difficult project the company worked on for F.E. Warren AFB at a former missile site in Colorado. The abstract is described on page 43 and the entire paper can be read or downloaded from the White Paper section on Pollution Engineering's website.
