| The WASTECH Consortium (the American Academy of Environmental Engineers (AAEE), EPA’s Technology Innovation Office (TIO), DoD, and DOE) has developed a series of comprehensive, authoritative engineering monographs. These peer-reviewed state-of-practice publications range in size from 150-250 pages and provide definitive engineering information on the following innovative technologies: bioremediation, chemical treatment, soil washing/soil flushing, solidification/stabilization, solvent/chemical extraction, thermal desorption, thermal destruction, vacuum vapor extraction. These monographs are available from AAEE, (410) 266-3390. Phase 1 publications cost $79.95 each or $495.00 for the full set, plus shipping and handling. Phase 2 publication prices are: $99.95 for Vol. 1; $89.95 for Vols. 3, 5, and 7; $79.95 for Vols. 2 and 4; $69.95 for Vol. 6; $495.00 for the full set. |

| This document was prepared by Heather Strosnider, a National Network of Environmental Management Studies grantee under a fellowship from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed analysis of whole-cell bacterial biosensors. It investigates the state and practice of using whole cell bacterial sensors for measuring the bioavailability of arsenic. |

| This report documents a USEPA workshop in September 2015 in Arlington, VA, and included subject-matter experts from academia. The workshop purpose was to exchange information concerning how to evaluate or predict the potential for leaching of semi- or non-volatile organic constituents at contaminated sites where in place treatment has been used to control migration, and from waste that is disposed or re-used. Workshop discussions focused on identifying technical issues for further consideration to support the development of tools that may be used in making determinations of protectiveness and regulatory compliance. |

| Bioremediation, a procedure that is widely used in the petroleum industry, is being used to clean the petroleum-contaminated soil at a 25-acre abandoned refinery near the town of Lovell, Wyoming. Bioremediation uses microorganisms to break down petroleum wastes into nontoxic end products. Bioremediation is conducted on-site and is less energy-intensive than conventional methods. The Lovell site is in its third year of treatment. Periodic testing is done to ensure that petroleum contamination levels continue to decrease and that the microorganism populations remain healthy and active. Running time is 8 minutes. |
