Development and Validation of a Quantitative Framework and Management Expectation Tool for the Selection of Bioremediation Approaches at Chlorinated Ethene Sites

Abstract

The overarching objective of ESTCP project ER-201129 was to develop and validate a framework used to make bioremediation decisions based on site-specific physical and biogeochemical characteristics and constraints. The key deliverable is an easy-to-use decision tool (i.e., BioPIC) that can be used to estimate and integrate the impact of quantifiable parameters on natural attenuation and microbial remedies to achieve detoxification of chlorinated ethenes. The quantitative framework and BioPIC were beta-tested by multiple users at multiple sites with different biogeochemical settings and degradation pathways for chlorinated ethenes.
