Effect <strong>of</strong> Source Decay (k source) on Concentration vs.Time Pr<strong>of</strong>ilesThe figures below show concentration vs. time pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>for</strong> various source decay rates <strong>for</strong> both the source <strong>and</strong> downgradient locations.This scenario was run using the Bioscreen model (Newell et al., 1996) assuming a longitudinal dispersivity <strong>of</strong> 100 ft, no sorption <strong>and</strong>no biodegradation. The maximum concentration is shown to be inversely proportional to the source decay rate.
