Frequently Asked Questions about Monitored Natural Attenuation in Groundwater

Abstract

This Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document provides a concise overview of current knowledge regarding management of subsurface contaminant releases using monitored natural attenuation (MNA). The envisioned audience includes state regulators, federal regulators, industry, consultants, DoD staff, and members of the local community involved in selecting remedies for contaminated sites. The intended value of the document is to provide current knowledge in support of sound decisions. In the interest of brevity, the FAQs assume that the reader has a general understanding of hydrogeology, the movement of chemicals in porous media, remediation technologies, and the remedy selection process.
