The following tips and guidance can help improve environmental outcomes and reduce costs during site cleanups.

• Use direct push technology (DPT) to install wells (e.g., vacuum extraction wells to eliminate drill cuttings and waste disposal and reduce drilling times).
• Re-use wells and subsurface bore holes throughout investigations, remediation and long-term monitoring. Consider using soil boring boreholes for potential well installation and remedial wells.
• Segregate soil during drilling activities so that non-impacted soil can be used to backfill the boring (if applicable to situation).
• Consider using membrane interface probe (MIP) technology to conduct geophysical downhole surveys while direct push drilling.
