Performance Assessment of Past Bioremediation Approaches for Chlorinated Solvent Source Zones

Abstract

The primary objective of this project was to assess the long-term effectiveness of past biological treatment approaches for remediating source areas of chlorinated solvent-contaminated aquifers. In support of this objective the project team (1) developed a large database and statistically evaluated the effectiveness of source area bioremediation to identify factors that resulted in or prevented successful application of different in situe bioremediation strategies; and (2) utilized traditional and new tools at select sites to evaluate long-term treatment effectiveness and to assess whether degradation is ongoing.
