Abstract
The transport time required for a contaminant to move through the subsurface is frequently encountered in insurance coverage cases. Transport calculations are often offered as evidence that (1) a contaminant was released within a particular policy period or (2) a contaminant entered the soil and/or groundwater during a specific policy period. The various transport processes and the assumptions used in these calculations are presented along with examples in this article.
