Abstract
A detailed study of the very-low-frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM) method was undertaken at a single field site where a prescribed distribution of buried metal (steel) and plastic containers had been placed. The site (which was quite free of interference) consisted of a relatively uniform sandy soil of low water content and represented nearly ideal conditions for the tests. Results indicated that the technique will undoubtedly detect and delineate and typical dump site with predominantly metal (usually steel) drums. Single metal drums (55 gallon variety) can be detected with six feet of soil cover and isolated groups of metal drums to significantly greater depths.
