Case Study: Taking an 85 year old railyard from enrollment in a voluntary cleanup to no further action in ≈one year.
This is an old 60 acre railyard in Oregon, USA. The site owner went into an agreement with the State Agency under the State Voluntary Cleanup Program.
Radiocarbon eliminates interferences in the measurement of contaminant biodegradation rates
Soil contamination results in significant changes in the soil microbial ecology. Petroleum contaminants, and related organic compounds such as those generated by forest fires, are naturally present in natural environments.
A Study at a Large Oil Spill in an Urban Site in the Northeast USA Demonstrates the Use of Radiocarbon Analysis to Accurately Measure NSZD Rates
A study was initiated in 2016 to investigate NSZD, based on CO₂ fluxes at the surface, as part of a remediation project at a large oil spill in the Northeast U.S.
Six Australian case studies of LNAPL NSZD rates using multiple methods, and comparing findings with conventional active recovery efforts
CRC Care, an independent organization dedicated to the remediation of contaminated soil, water, and air; published on March 2020 its technical report no. 47.
ESTCP Report: Post-Remediation Performance Assessment at a Petroleum Impacted Site
This is a detailed report about an investigation at a Navy Air Station in which a multi-tiered approach was used to address
Comparison of NSZD Characterization methods
A 2015 remediation project on an LNAPL-contaminated site compares different methods to measure NSZD rates.
Phytoremediation as a Sustainable Remedial Alternative at a Hydrocarbon Contaminated Site
This presentation describes a phytoremediation project at a petroleum impacted site in California’s San Joaquin Valley.
Measurement of Natural Losses of LNAPL Using CO₂ Traps
Fossil Fuel Traps were developed at the Center for Contaminant Hydrology at Colorado State University over a five-year period after researchers there recognized the limitations of
