Sites where nonhalogenated VOCs may be found include burn pits, chemical manufacturing plants or disposal areas, contaminated marine sediments, disposal wells and leach fields, electroplating/metal finishing shops, firefighting training areas, hangars/aircraft maintenance areas, landfills and burial pits, leaking collection and system sanitary lines, leaking storage tanks, radioactive/mixed waste disposal areas, oxidation ponds/lagoons, paint stripping and spray booth areas, pesticide/herbicide mixing areas, solvent degreasing areas, surface impoundments, and vehicle maintenance areas. Potentially applicable remediation technologies are presented in Table 2-1. Typical nonhalogenated VOCs (excluding fuels, BTEX, and gas phase contaminants) encountered at many sites include the following:

• Nonhalogenated VOCs*

*Please note that fuels, BTEX, and gas phase contaminants are located in section 2.7.
