A Caution on the Regulatory Use of Numerical Solute Transport Models

A Caution on the Regulatory Use of Numerical Solute Transport Models

Numerical models of solute transport in water‐saturated porous media are routinely used to make regulatory and design decisions. For many contaminants, decisions are based on concentrations of 5 parts per billion (ppb) or less. This “action level“ is usually a small fraction (
