ESTCP Cost and Performance Report: Field Demonstration of Rhizosphere-Enhanced Treatment of Organics-Contaminated Soils on Native American Lands with Application to Northern FUD Sites

Abstract

This document is a cost and performance report for ESTCP project #1011, Field Demonstration of Rhizosphere-Enhanced Treatment of Organics-Contaminated Soils on Native American Lands with Application to Northern formerly used defense (FUD) Sites. The accompanying Final Report provides additional details on the methods used, data from the field demonstration sites, a statement of knowledge gaps, and suggestions on how these data and approaches can be used in other situations dealing with surface soil contamination. This project included field demonstrations of rhizosphere-enhanced bioremediation of petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POLs) at three cold sites in Alaska. The demonstrations evaluated the use of rhizosphere-enhanced remediation in northern regions where low temperatures, site inaccessibility, permafrost, and freeze-thaw cycles limit or, in many cases, prevent cost-effective application of both traditional technologies and a number of emerging innovative technologies.
