Dewatering MGP excavation

Dewatering MGP excavation

Dewatering MGP excavation

(OP)
I am currently just in the beginning thought process of this, but I wanted to see if anyone had some experience.  I have a site where we plan on excavating to a depth of 6 feet (10 feet in localized areas) and there is the chance of groundwater/rainwater infiltration.  The excavation is being done to remove MGP structures and material.  My question is what types of methods are available to treat the water prior to discharge.  I am leaning towards GAC but I wanted to see if there were other options that may be better suited for the situation.  We will need to get the discharge quality to around 1 ppm (or as low as possible to remain cost effective) so I would also be interested in the removal rates and the breakthrough time using carbon.
