DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A QUANTITATIVE FRAMEWORK AND MANAGEMENT EXPECTATION TOOL FOR THE SELECTION OF BIOREMEDIATION APPROACHES AT CHLORINATED ETHENE SITES
Lebron, C., T. Wiedemeier, J. Wilson, F. Loeffler, R. Hinchee, and M. Singletary.
ESTCP Project ER-201129, 178 pp, 2015
The overarching project objective was to develop and validate a framework for making bioremediation decisions based on site-specific physical and biogeochemical characteristics and constraints. The key deliverable is called BioPIC, an easy-to-use decision tool for estimating and integrating 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 for chlorinated ethenes (mainly PCE, TCE, and daughter products) degradation at multiple sites: (1) NAS North Island, Site 5, Unit 2 (complete anaerobic biological reductive dechlorination); (2) Kings Bay, Site 11 (reductive dechlorination in the source zone leading to subsequent oxidation of degradation products downgradient); (3) Hill AFB OU-10 (aerobic oxidation); and (4) Plattsburgh AFB, Fire Training Area 2 (abiotic reductive dechlorination or elimination reactions). https://www.serdp-estcp.org/content/download/37095/354098/file/ER-201129-FR.pdf
