Frequently Asked Questions

How do I view separate parts of the document in separate screens?
▼Read more

Open the section of interest using the navigation menu on the left-hand side of the webpage or links embedded in the webpage. Right click on the link for the second section of interest. Select “Open link in a new window with navigation”. This approach works for any link you wish to view in a separate window.

What is the suggested citation for this document?
▼Read more

Permission is granted to refer to or quote from this publication with the customary acknowledgment of the source. The suggested citation for this document is as follows:

ITRC (Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council). 2020. Optimizing Injection Strategies and In situ Remediation Performance. OIS-ISRP-1. Washington, D.C.: Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council, OIS-ISRP Team. /.

Linked sections are opening in new windows and not new tabs. How do I change the behavior?
▼Read more

In your browser, find the settings for Open pages in tabs instead of windows. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools>Internet Options>Tabs>Settings and select “Always open pop-ups in a new tab”. For Safari, there are three choices for opening pages in tabs: Automatically, Never, Always. In Firefox or Google Chrome, all links automatically open in a new tab.
