Geophysical characterization of contaminated sites is an important procedure in pre- and post-site remediation. It has been carried out in several contaminated sites, irrespective of differences in site geology, nature of contaminants, and prevailing hydrological conditions. Electrical prospecting methods are the most used geophysical techniques for contaminant plume mapping. Due to this widespread use, there is an increasing number of literature on the use of electrical methods directed toward contaminant plume mapping. Yet, it lacks a comprehensive framework in literature that synthesizes the methods’ concepts, applications, and limitations. In this review, we summarized the use of electrical methods (electrical resistivity, self-potential, and induced polarization) in mapping contaminant plumes and provided a synthesis of concepts, applications, and limitations. The advantages, drawbacks, and the solutions achieved so far were emphasized in this review. Some of the advantages are that electrical methods are faster, cheaper, noninvasive and provide continuous images of contaminant plumes when compared to the traditional techniques. The drawbacks highlighted include the non-uniqueness of the vertical electrical sounding (VES), distortion effect of the 2D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and huge cost of 3D ERT data acquisition. We also highlighted other geophysical methods that could be used to map contaminant plumes. Conclusively, this review paper identified future research direction and offers insight into emerging issues associated with these techniques for better modeling of contaminated sites.

The paper presents the results of testing flood facies sediments - muds. The term “‘muds” refers to a genetic type of deposits, regardless of their variability in particle size composition and organic matter content. Due to the poor geological engineering properties, such as, high lithological variability, low degree of diagenesis, as well as high moisture content and organic matter content, muds are classified as weak soils and river valleys are the areas of complicated ground conditions. The paper presents lithological, physical and chemical properties of muds from the floodplain of the Vistula River valley in the area of Warsaw-Siekierki. A series of mud samples contaminated with diesel fuel in the range of 2-16%wereprepared. The microaggregate analyses as well as the plastic and liquid limit tests showed a significant effect of contamination on the soil index properties. The increase in diesel fuel content resulted in the loss of soil plasticity and cohesion. The aggregation of clay particles and the increase in the silt fraction content was observed. The most significant changes of properties were obtained for the mud samples containing 6-16% of diesel fuel. The research of soils contaminated with petroleum products is of great importance in determining the geological engineering conditions of the subsoil for foundation purposes.
