Attorney, Agent or Firm: Chapp; Jeffrey J.

A method and system for removing free phrase product from the surface of a subterranean body of water includes a plurality of extraction sites. The extraction sites extend below ground and intersect the free product. Each of the plurality of extraction sites is in communication with a vacuum supply which provides suction to remove free product from the surface of the groundwater.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for removing increased amounts of free product from a groundwater well prior to groundwater remediation treatment.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method and system for removing increased amounts of free product from a groundwater well, while minimizing the removal of groundwater.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method and system for removing increased amounts of free product from a groundwater well that is less expensive and more efficient than prior removal systems.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method and system for removing free product from a groundwater well that is relatively easy and inexpensive to install and operate.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method and system for removing free product from a groundwater well that can be installed with minimal site disturbance.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a method and system for removing free product from a groundwater well that can be easily and readily converted to a bioremedial groundwater remediation system.
In accordance with the above and other objects of the present invention a method and system for removing free product from a groundwater well is provided.
The method includes determining whether a subterranean body of groundwater is contaminated.
If the groundwater is contaminated, it is monitored to determine whether free product that has yet to dissolve into the groundwater is located on the surface thereof.
If free product is present, a plurality of extraction points are placed below ground and into communication with the body of groundwater.
Each of the plurality of extraction points is positioned to maximize communication with the free product and minimize communication with the groundwater.
A vacuum source is placed in communication with each of the plurality of extraction points to remove free product from the well through the extraction points
