Abstract

The Concawe LNAPL Toolbox is one of the first completely web-based tools for managing and remediating light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPL) affected sites. An off-line downloadable version is also available for users who do not want to access it via the internet. LNAPLs are typically historical hydrocarbons released into soils and groundwater, such as liquid fuels, crude oil and condensates. The toolbox was developed by Concawe, the Scientific Division of European Fuel Manufacturers Association, with the support of the engineering and environmental science-consulting agency GSI Environmental. The toolbox, written on the R-Shiny platform, was released in 2022 and includes over 20 different tools, such as, for example, infographics, nomographs, calculators, mobility models, videos and checklists. These tools are organized into three tiers, with Tier 1 offering basic graphics and essential information, Tier 2 providing simple quantitative models and calculators and Tier 3 featuring access and explanations of more complex tools. The toolbox is designed to address six key questions that are important for environmental consultants and regulators managing LNAPL sites, including determining the amount of LNAPL, estimating LNAPL migration and persistence, assessing LNAPL risk over time, determining the effectiveness of LNAPL recovery and estimating Natural Source Zone Depletion (NSZD). The Concawe LNAPL Toolbox is accessible free of charge via a webpage on an internet browser or by downloading the toolbox for use on a personal computer.
