At NAS Whidbey the plan is to arrest the spread of a toxic plume to as 
yet uncontaminated areas of a continuous groundwater supply by pumping, 
air-stripping and returning treated water to the same aquifer. The 
project which will go on-line soon will operate for at least ten years. 
One interesting aspect of this project is that VOCs in the exhaust from the 
air stipper will not be filtered because total daily emissions are not 
expected to exceed local regulations. So it goes.
