   Abstract:
   This document provides an overview of the Air Sparging Decision Tool (Tool) which has been developed for determining the applicability of and for refining air sparging system designs and operations. The tool was developed by a multi-disciplinary team of internationally recognized experts in air sparging technology, led by a group of project and task managers at Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. and MSE, Inc. The objectives of the tool are to provide guidance to field-based users and environmental managers for evaluating the applicability of air sparging technology to a wide range of sites. The tool is not intended to model site-specific hydrogeologic conditions or to provide detailed design of air sparging systems. The tool quickly and cost-effectively assists the user in screening for applicability of the technology at a proposed site through application of progressively detailed dialogs
