Abstract: The Gowanus Canal superfund site is located in Brooklyn, New York. The site is impacted by nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) from historic manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites and other sources. One of the primary objectives for the selected remedy included eliminating the migration of NAPL into the canal. Accordingly, the amount of NAPL present in sediment samples was quantified and physical testing was conducted to determine a threshold amount of NAPL that could be potentially mobilized into the canal as a result of upwelling groundwater. Undisturbed core samples of native sediment were collected and analyzed for NAPL, water, and air pore fluid saturation (PFS) using the Dean-Stark extraction method, and the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) content. Sediment samples were found to contain NAPL saturations ranging from nondetectable (
