the ease of installation due to construction materials being readily available. In addition, the ease of installation could decrease the amount of disturbance that occurs at the contamination site. Another advantage to using SVE is that this remedial technology is easily coupled with other techniques, such as air sparging, it can be used when the ground water table is at a depth where the extraction wells could draw water into them. Air sparging involves injecting contaminant free air into the injection well in order to transfer the contaminant from the dissolved state into the vapor state to allow for extraction. One more benefit is that the system is easily monitored, allowing the treatment time to be relatively short and inexpensive to implement compared to other technique
