Disclosed is a method and apparatus for the in situ removal of contaminants from contaminated soil wherein exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine is injected at an elevated temperature into contaminated soil creating a sweep gas driving volatile organic chemicals out of the in situ soil. The mechanical energy from the internal combustion engine is utilized in separating the volatile organic chemicals from the sweep gas and/or increasing the flow rate of the sweep gas through the contaminated soil by either increasing the injection pressure and/or reducing the pressure on the recovery well.
