Value-Added Site Monitoring and Infrastructure Maintenance for In-Situ Bioremediation Technology Development

Abstract

The original project was funded in FY '98 and designed to achieve three main objectives. These are: 1) The continued serial monitoring of contaminant, geochemical constituents, and indicators of bioremediation at two actual sites of fuel and/or solvent contamination during a BTEX-MTBE natural gradient tracer test conducted at the former Wurtsmith AFB near Oscoda, MI, 2) The improvement and maintenance of the existing historical database on the progress of intrinsic (i.e. natural) bioremediation at these sites which extends from the late 1980's, and 3) Statistical analyses of the impact of observed spatial and temporal variability in contaminant source mass distributions on the reliability of estimates of rates of net mass removal (i.e. the progress of bioremediation), and projected timeframes for site closure.
