1. A method for in-situ dense non-aqueous phase liquids treatment comprising the steps of:

  • locating a subsurface source area comprising at least one rapid release contaminant;

    removing free water from said subsurface source area;

    heating said subsurface source area to a temperature suitable for extracting said at least one rapid release contaminant from said subsurface source area; and

    extracting said at least one rapid release contaminant from said subsurface source area, resulting in solidification of said dense non-aqueous phase liquids remaining in said subsurface source area.
