This saves both money and headaches. To the people in surrounding communities, though, it can appear that clean-up officials are simply walking away from contaminated sites.When is natural attenuation the appropriate approach to a clean-up? This book presents the consensus of a diverse committee, informed by the views of researchers, regulators, and community activists. The committee reviews the likely effectiveness of natural attenuation with different classes of contaminants -- and describes how to evaluate the "footprints" of natural attenuation at a site to determine whether natural processes will provide adequate clean-up. Included are recommendations for regulatory change.The book also emphasizes the importance of the public's belief and attitudes toward remediation and provides guidance on involving community stakeholders throughout the clean-up process.Hazardous wastesNatural attenuationEvaluationIn situ bioremediationEvaluationHazardous waste site remediationEvaluationGroundwaterPurificationHazardous WastesIn Situ BioremediationGroundwaterHazardous Waste Site RemediationTechnology & EngineeringScienceHazardous wastesNatural attenuationEvaluation.In situ bioremediationEvaluation.Hazardous waste site remediationEvaluation.GroundwaterPurification.628.1/68Intrinsic Remediation Committee1523481Board on Radioactive Waste Management Staff,Division on Earth and Life Studies Staff,Water Science and Technology Board Staff,Commission on Geosciences, Environment, and Resources,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778638103321Natural attenuation for groundwater remediation3763711UNINA
