{description}   At Launch Complex 34, Cape Canaveral Air Station, several studies
                are under way for groundwater cleanup of trichloroethylene at the
                site. Shown here is monitoring equipment for one of the methods,
                potassium permanganate oxidation. Concentrations of
                trichloroethylene solvent have been identified in the soil at the
                complex as a result of cleaning methods for rocket parts during
                the Apollo Program in the 60s. The environmental research project
                involves the Department of Defense, Environmental Protection
                Agency, Department of Energy and NASA, who formed the Interagency
                NDAPL Consortium (IDC), to study three contamination cleanup
                technologies: Six Phase Soil Heating, Steam Injection and In Situ
                Oxidation with Potassium Permanganate. All three methods may
                offer a way to remove the contaminants in months instead of
                decades. KSC hosted a two-day conference that presented
                information and demonstrations of the three technologies for
                representatives from environmental and federal agencies.
