groundwater contamination
(OP)
I'm looking for any documentation about groundwater contamination from mineral oil leaks/spills, i.e one gallon of mineral oil(hydraulic oil or engine oil) has the potential to contaminate X gallons of groundwater. Thanks for any input, Maytag





RE: groundwater contamination
Of course, if the oil adheres to soil particles (EPA site will mention this) then you can assume that x% remains in the vadose zone.

one part per billion means one billion gallons of water
