GENERAL INFORMATION
The program of the Fourth International Symposium on Bioremediation and Sustainable Environmental Technologies will present information on advances in bioremediation and the incorporation of green and sustainable remediation (GSR) practices in remediation in a series of technology-focused sessions. The development and use of advanced tools for assessing and monitoring bioremediation and natural attenuation, as well as the challenges of applying bioremediation at various types of complex sites and under extreme climatic conditions, will be considered. Several sessions will address biodegradation of emerging contaminants and biofuels and the evaluation and mitigation of vapor intrusion.
A series of sessions will cover biodegradation and remediation of crude oil in various environments and the management of petroleum hydrocarbon sites. Innovative biological processes and applications for pollution prevention and waste management will be addressed. GSR practices will be discussed as they apply to all stages of remediation, from remedy selection and optimization to long-term monitoring and management strategies. Sessions will address the adaptation of remediation systems to climate change, international perspectives on GSR, and the factors that affect the implementation of bioremediation in various regions of the world. In addition, several sessions will focus on munitions response and remediation of munitions constituents.
Battelle has presented this premier series of international technical conferences since 1991. Sponsors are public- and private-sector organizations active in environmental assessment, remediation, and management.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Symposium OverviewThe Symposium will be held May 22-25, 2017, in Miami, Florida. The program will be designed for scientists, engineers, regulators, remediation site owners, and other environmental professionals. Attendance is expected to be more than 800 people, representing universities, government agencies, and consulting, research and development, and service firms from approximately 25 countries.
As of January 31, 2017, 11 short courses are scheduled for Monday, May 22. The Exhibit Hall will open late Monday afternoon, with booths provided by more than 50 companies, government agencies and not-for-profit organizations that engage in environmental assessment, remediation and management activities or supply related products and services.
The Monday evening Plenary Session will feature two speakers. First, Dr. David Tsao (BP), who led the Bio-Chem Strike Team for the Deepwater Horizon response, will discuss and evaluate the effectiveness of bioremediation agents that were proposed as a response action for various aspects of the incident (in the water and on shorelines). Second, Dr. Larry Brand (University of Miami), will focus on the root causes and impacts of harmful algal blooms (i.e., red tides) and potential remedial options for addressing the impacts associated with the algal blooms. He will also examine the role of algal toxins and their effect on human health.
The technical program currently has more than 570 platform talks and poster presentations scheduled. The 55 platform breakout sessions and three panel discussions will be conducted Tuesday through Thursday, and poster receptions will be held Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

Larry E. Brand, Ph.D.

Professor, Marine Biology and Ecology at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science
Harmful Algal Blooms in South Florida: Environmental Causes and Human Health Consequences
Dr. Brand is a professor of marine biology and ecology at the University of Miami in the Rosen-stiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS), where he specializes in phytoplankton ecology with a special interest in the interaction of ecological and evolutionary processes. His address will focus on the root causes and impacts of harmful algal blooms (i.e., red tides) in South Florida and across the world. Dr. Brand received his B.A in biology from the University of Texas at
Austin, and his doctoral degree the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution/Massachusetts Institute of Technology Joint Program. Blooms of cyanobacteria occur in Florida Bay, Biscayne Bay, Lake Okeechobee, Caloosahatchee River, St. Lucie estuary, and Indian River Lagoon. These blooms, ostensibly caused by human ac-tivities, are increasing in South Florida and similar algal blooms occur throughout the world. How-ever, the geochemistry in South Florida is unique and the root causes of algal blooms are somewhat different compared to other regions. Dr. Brand will be discussing these localized factors and their ef-fect on South Florida’s coastal waters, and poten-tial remedial options for addressing the impacts associated with the algal blooms. He will also examine the role of algal toxins and their effect on human health, which is one focus of his current research. Virtually all algal toxins have been discovered because of their relatively rapid effect on human health, which can be tracked back to their source epidemiologically. For exam-ple, the cyanotoxin microcystin was discovered because it causes relatively rapid gastrointestinal disorders or death. Once examined in detail, it has been discovered to also lead to long term liver damage and liver cancer. Algal toxins that cause slow developing, long-term health effects (e.g., cancer, neurodegenerative diseases), but no immediate health effects, are extremely diffi-cult to discover. The neurotoxin beta-Methylami-no-L-alanine (BMAA) is an exception, in that it causes no immediate health effects, but increas-ing evidence suggests it can lead to neurode-generative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease).

Evaluating Bioremediation Agents as an Oil Spill Response Alternative
Dr. David Tsao is BP’s Group Subject Matter Expert on soil and groundwater remediation and is currently responsible for a team of specialists coordinating, developing, and implementing the technical cleanup strategies for a broad range of BP sites as well as evaluating and minimizing the potential environmental impacts of new products and activities associated with unconventional and alternative energy sources.
Dr. Tsao is a chemical engineering graduate of Purdue University where his research included plant biotechnology, pharmaceutical production, and plant production for space (NASA) closed ecological life support systems. His experience includes specialization in the remediation of fuel oxygenates and the use of bio- and phyto-tech-nologies for remediation and prevention and he actively publishes research and technical guid-ance, develops, and teaches these technologies.
He is active in oil spill response planning and prevention and led the Bio-Chem Strike Team for the Deepwater Horizon response. In his address, he will be discussing that team’s evaluation of the effectiveness of bioremediation agents that were proposed as a response action for various as-pects of the incident (in the water and on shore-lines).
David is current President of the International Phytotechnology Society and Senior Editor of the International Journal of Phytoremediation. He also serves on the Board of Advisors for the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council.

The Well 12A Superfund Site in Tacoma, Washing-ton, has been undergoing remediation since 1983 to address releases of chlorinated volatile organic com-pounds (CVOCs) and petroleum hydrocarbons from historical operations. Remedial actions have included:• Air stripping treatment at municipal supply well 12A
(1983-present)• Shallow soil excavation (1986, 1991-1992, 2011-
2012)• Groundwater extraction and treatment (1988-present)• Soil vapor extraction (1993-1997)• Enhanced anaerobic biodegradation (2013-present)• Electrical resistance heating at steaming tempera-
tures (2014)• Electrical resistance heating at below steaming tem-
peratures (2015-present)
Since the amendment to the Record of Decision for the site in 2009, which amended the selected remedy to reduce or eliminate source mass, the Well 12A site has served as a model for remedial designs that include combined remedies approach to remediation, with an adaptive management strategy which allows for flexibil-ity in remedy implementation. Management strategies using metrics such as mass flux and mass discharge to establish performance objectives and evaluate remedi-al progress are also being applied.
The primary topics to be covered during the panel
discussion include the following:• Adaptive management and flexible implementation of
a combined remedy approach• Establishing performance metrics and evaluation of
remedial progress• Managing complications due to complex geology/
hydrogeology• Sequencing of activities to take advantage of technol-
ogy synergies• Measurement of mass discharge at the site and les-

PanelistsAdria Bodour (U.S. Air Force/AFCEC)
Herb Levine (U.S. EPA)Tamzen Macbeth (CDM Smith)
Recently in our industry there has been a developing best practice that focuses on the geology to define the subsurface “plumbing”, which can make or break groundwater remediation programs. These refined ge-ology-based conceptual site models (CSMs) have prov-en to be valuable to remediation success. This panel includes experts from the fields of geology, remediation engineering, and the regulatory arena to communicate this best practice to non-geologists and provide reme-diation engineers with questions to address regarding CSMs that they inherit. The panel will present exam-ples of best practices in applying geology to CSMs and provide “rules of thumb” to test the efficacy of your CSM, such as the following questions. • Is groundwater flow, and the contaminant plume,
controlled by geologic features (e.g., buried sand channels)?
• Does the CSM adequately define the geologic features?
• What tools are available to define the geologic fea-tures that carry groundwater contamination?
• How do buried sand channels and other geologic features affect source identification?
• How do they affect remedial design?

Sampling and Analysis of PFAS Compounds:
Lessons Learned and State of the Science
Panel Discussion Tuesday/Track F
Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are now contaminants of emerging concern mainly due to their use in Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) formula-tions. Characterization of PFAS compounds in now a widespread occurrence in the environmental industry at multiple sites where there are suspected sources of PFAS contamination. This extensive sampling effort has led to better understanding of and improvements in the sampling and analysis of PFAS. This panel will discuss the approach taken by the DOD in selecting and prioritize sites for PFAS sampling, the lessons learned from the sampling efforts, and the recent improvements in laboratory analysis of PFAS that have helped to decrease inter- and intra-laboratory variability and provide greater confidence in the PFAS analytical results. In addition, the panel will discuss the state of the science with respect to analysis of PFAS. The au-dience of this panel will learn the right questions to ask when sampling and analyzing for PFAS and to identify potential red flags associated with PFAS analytical data. The audience will leave with the most up to date information available for the sampling and analysis of PFAS compounds.

Drones/Remote Sensing: A New Tool for High Resolution Site Characterization
Instructors: Jim Reisinger (Integrated Science & Technology, Inc.)Richard Matthew Ruf (S2C2 Inc.)Jason C. Ruf (S2C2 Inc.)
Objective: Introduce the near real-time high resolution site characterization (HRSC) concept and explain it in detail, compare and contrast it with conventional characterization, and explain how the technology is used in support of an evolving conceptual site model. Introduce and explain the role drones/remote sensing can play in the process and the benefits derived. This topic will be of interest to environmental professionals that design site characterization programs, regulators engaged in contaminated site characterization, developers, and stakeholders.
Overview: Near real-time HRSC is an integrated tool used to generate and feed data into conceptual site models (CSMs) to characterize contaminated sites. The technology entails using laboratory-grade and direct sensing instrumentation and mobile sampling equipment to generate high quality data in near real time. A key element of the course is the introduction of drones/ unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) /remote sensing using a variety of sensor systems as a new characterization tool at sites contaminated with organic and inorganic xenobiotics. UAV have been popular recreational pursuits for some time. They have become commercial tools recently often as mapping and aerial photo camera carriers. UAV also are commonly used to map and gather the information and data needed to monitor methane, calculate residual capacity, and perform other volumetric calculations. UAV are now being used in the site assessment process as image generators, devices to preform site screening, and perform contaminant character and mass using specialized sensors. They are also used to track remediation.

As the data are generated, they are entered into a database and analyzed spatially and three-dimensionally, which aids in the optimization process and timely modification of the CSM. The data are generated under a rigorous quality control program, making high quality data available for in-the-field decision making, which enables focusing of the characterization effort and resulting in more efficient decision making and lower remediation cost. The result is generation of higher density and more focused high quality information. This approach is applicable to all sites at which time, data quality, and cost are critical.

Bioremediation and Sustainable Environmental Technologies for Hydrocarbon Clean-up in Niger Delta, Nigeria
Instructors: Ayodele Ajayi Otaiku (Aratibiotech Limited)Benard Babatunde Bolaji, Ph.D. (University of Port Harcourt)Prince Chinedu Mmom, Ph.D. (University of Port Harcourt)Samuel Bankole Arokoyu, Ph.D. (University of Port Harcourt)
Objective: Hydrocarbon exploration and production in Niger Delta wetland, Nigeria, and emerging dynamics associated with oil spill incidents in have no doubt continued to generate political and scientific interests, yet with no lasting solution in sight anchored by United Nations Environment Programme published report on Ogoni Land degraded ecosystems. The application of bioremediation and restoration technologies has become imperative to the search for solution to the degraded ecosystems in Niger Delta and the quest for sustinability of the Nigeria hydrocarbon industry.
Overview: Recent studies on the hydrocarbon footprints and oil spill polluted sites especially in Niger Delta is quite revealing. This has no doubt aggravated the necessity for deploying appropriate modern technologies to combat the menace for which bioremediation is indispensable.
A better approach than traditional method (natural attenuation of polluted hydrocarbon sites in Niger Delta region) is to completely destroy the pollutants if possible, or at least to transform them to innocuous substances. Bioremediation is an option that offers the possibility to destroy or render harmless various contaminants using natural biological activity. As such, it uses
51
relatively low-cost, low-technology techniques, which generally have a high public acceptance.
A case study of bioremediation was carried out on OML 58, Obagi OB12/70 waste pit (450 m2) Niger Delta, 2007 polluted site with significant degradation of the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) by 99% under iron-reducing and sulphate-reducing coupled to the reduction of chelated Fe (III) by 96% occurred within 49 days treatment. Sulphate was the principal electron acceptor for the oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) at 97% reduction, in 42 days in the soil/sediment treatment. A strong correlation between ecosystems pH (6-7) and the diversity and composition of microbial consortia was a greater driver during degradation of the pollutant during bioremediation. Nine years research on post-restoration technologies for sustainable re-use of remediated soils resulted to the production of biofertilizer for the agro-ecology of the Niger Delta region for sustainability.

Groundwater Statistics to Geospatial Analysis for Remediation Compliance and Optimization: An ITRC Course
Instructors: Harold Templin, PG (Indiana Department of Environmental Management)Chris Stubbs, Ph.D., PE (Ramboll Environ)Lizanne Simmons, PG (Kleinfelder)Randall Ryti, Ph.D. (Neptune and Company, Inc.)Edward Winner, Ph.D. (Commonwealth of Kentucky)Ning-Wu Chang, Ph.D., PE (California Department of Toxic Substances Control)
Objective: Bring clarity to the planning, implementation, and communication of groundwater statistical methods, and understanding of geospatial analyses to evaluate remediation optimization opportunities. State regulators and other practitioners, including stakeholders, will benefit from gaining greater confidence using groundwater statistics and geospatial analysis for remediation compliance and optimization.
Overview: Statistical techniques may be used throughout the process of cleaning up contaminated groundwater. It is, however, challenging for practitioners, who are not experts in statistics, to interpret and to employ statistics properly. This short course is specifically for environmental project managers who review or write reports containing statistical data analysis, who make recommendations or decisions based on statistics, or who need to demonstrate compliance for groundwater projects using statistics. This part of the course will encourage and support project managers and others in understanding and applying statistics to groundwater data, background determination, compliance demonstration, trend analysis and monitoring optimization.
52
In addition to statistics for groundwater compliance, this short course will introduce using geospatial analysis to support remediation optimization. Unlike traditional statistical analysis, geospatial methods incorporate the spatial and temporal dependence between nearby data points. This dependence is a central feature of almost all environmental data. Analysis of data within their location and time contexts often provides additional lines of evidence to support decision making and optimization across all project life cycle stages and in all media. This part of the course will help project managers evaluate available data, identify potential optimization opportunities, as well as select geospatial methods and geospatial software.
This short course is based on the ITRC’s Groundwater Statistics and Monitoring Compliance (GSMC-1, 2013 http://www.itrcweb.org/gsmc-1/)) and Geospatial Analysis for Optimization at Environmental Sites (GRO-1, 2016 http://gro-1.itrcweb.org/)) web-based guidance documents.

The utilization of Stable Isotopes as a Tool for Monitoring the Onset and Extent of Attenuation of Organic Compounds in Contaminated Sediments and Other Potential Applications Related to Bioremediation
Instructor: Paul Philp, Ph.D. (University of Oklahoma [Emeritus])
Objective: The goal of the course is to expose environmental scientists, engineers, and regulators to the concept of using stable isotopes as an additional analytical tool for monitoring the origin and fate of organic compounds in contaminated sediments as well as explaining the basics of the technique. In addition, specific attention will be given to potential applications involving bioremediation as well as integrating this approach with more conventional techniques such as as gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
Overview: The utilization of stable isotopes in environmental studies has emerged as a powerful analytical tool over the past two decades. Applications have been wide-ranging in many disciplines but in the area of environmental chemistry uses have centered on contaminant source discrimination and monitoring the onset and extent of natural attenuation. This technique should not be thought of as a standalone technique but one that should be integrated with conventional techniques such as GC and GC/MS. In this course the basic concepts of stable isotopes will be introduced since many people are not familiar with this technique. This will be followed by discussion of applications to monitoring changes in the organic content of contaminated sediments during remediation as well as studying the fate of organic compounds in groundwater samples, free product samples and soil samples. Integration of GC and GC/MS data will also be discussed. Applications will include utilization of stable isotopes of C, H, and Cl in the investigation of these topics. Furthermore,
53
there are many potential applications for utilizing stable isotopes in bioremediation studies that may either complement or even replace more time-consuming microcosm studies.
Outline:1. Introduction2. What do we mean by stable isotopes and how
do we measure them?3. Methodology: Fractionation, Rayleigh

Integrated DNAPL-LNAPL Site Characterization and Tools Selection
Instructors: Michael B. Smith (VT Dept. Env. Conservation)Naji Akladiss, P.E. (Maine Department of Environmental Protection)Ryan A. Wymore, P.E. (CDM Smith)Tamzen W. Macbeth, Ph.D., P.E. (CDM Smith)Heather V. Rectanus, Ph.D., P.E. (Battelle)
Objective: This workshop will present the recently released ITRC guidance document of this same title. The workshop will focus on recent advances in the understanding of nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) contaminant fate and transport, and introduce the ITRC’s Integrated Site Characterization approach, including the
importance of high-resolution characterization. The potential audience is all environmental professionals, including regulators, site owners, consultants, and stakeholders.
Overview: Sites contaminated with NAPLs present significant environmental challenges and have proven to be recalcitrant to remediation, especially where sites have been contaminated with DNAPLs. This workshop will begin by presenting the new NAPL conceptual site model (CSM). Industry can no longer address NAPL and dissolved phase contamination separately, but rather they need to be considered together. Experience gained has driven the need to update the overall understanding of NAPL and dissolved phase contamination. This includes the controlling role of small geologic heterogeneities on the fate and transport of NAPL and associated dissolved phase contamination.
Properties of NAPLs and associated aqueous, sorbed, and vapor phase contamination will be discussed, and how they partition throughout the subsurface. Mechanisms that control the flow of NAPLs in the subsurface including solubility, capillary entry pressure, saturation and residual saturation, wettability and interfacial tension will be discussed. This workshop will present the DNAPL life cycle models of “higher” solubility DNAPLs such as chlorinated solvents, and the “lower” solubility DNAPLs such as coal tars and creosotes. The latest characterization approaches for sites contaminated with LNAPLs will also be discussed.
A detailed module will be presented, describing the objectives-based Integrated Site Character-ization (ISC) process that will both clarify how to collect appropriate scale data, and what types of data are collected with an emphasis on geology where appropriate. How to manage, analyze, and integrate the large geological-hydrogeological and contaminant data bases that can be developed using the ISC approach will be discussed.
54
A live demonstration of the ITRC Site Characterization Tools table will be presented to help guide site characterization efforts as a resource that will represent many characterization tools, what they are used for, how geology affects tool choices, and references to more information on the tools.

Performing Meaningful Stakeholder Engagement: Its Purpose, Benefit, and Process
Instructors: Reanne Ridsdale, M.A., B.A. (Ryerson University)Melissa Ann Harclerode, PhD, ENV SP (CDM Smith)
Objective: Navigating the world of social impact assessment and stakeholder collaboration can be difficult, vague, and views can often be polarizing; however, with proper methodology and guidance, meaningful engagement can enhance project outcomes, streamline processes, and create trusting partnerships among stakeholders. Participants will learn the current state-of-the-art methods and process for conducting meaningful stakeholder engagement presented in the
Sustainable Remediation Forum (SURF) recent publication on integrating the social dimension into remediation projects.The potential audience includes environmental professionals, regulators, potentially responsible parties, community members, and other stakeholders (such as property developers and non-profit interest groups).
Overview: This course will provide a broad overview of stakeholder engagement and social science methodologies that can help practitioners and proponents in project decision making. The success of stakeholder engagement relies on identifying the appropriate stakeholders and knowing how and when to engage them most effectively. While engaging stakeholders meaningfully can be a complex process, when undertaken, meaningful stakeholder engagement can streamline projects, enhance transparency, and alleviate stakeholder concerns. Generally, sustainable remediation projects involve stakeholder engagement that focuses on early involvement and transparent, consistent communication.
The first part of this course will focus on understanding the context of the stakeholder group(s) involved with remediation projects, followed by an introduction of available tools. Stakeholders can be defined as any organization, group, or individual who takes an interest in a project and can influence project outcomes. Therefore, it is important for practitioners to consider and define the role of varying and, sometimes, conflicting motivations and needs among stakeholders. In addition, it is equally as important to understand the demographics and complexity of socio-political and socio-economic barriers. By conducting a walk-through of stakeholder context, participants will be equipped with a foundational background in defining stakeholder groups and identifying potential obstacles and barriers to meaningful engagement. This portion of the course will end with an introduction to methodologies and
55
tools available to perform transparent and consistent communication that reduces conflict or disagreement between stakeholders and remediation decision-makers. Available tools will be presented for each phase of the project life cycle, including: multi-criteria decision analysis to identify and evaluate stakeholder needs; the social sustainability evaluation matrix to evaluate social impacts from site activities; and surveys to evaluate and overcome risk perception barriers. The second part of this course will be completely interactive and consist of a mock remediation site scenario to provide participants with the opportunity to gain hands on experience with available tools. During this break out session, participants will be organized into representative stakeholder groups to practice engaging and considering a diversity of stakeholder values, concerns, and needs at each phase of the project life cycle.
Once equipped in stakeholder context, the second part of the course will focus on methodologies and tools available to perform transparent and consistent communication that reduces conflict or disagreement between stakeholders and remediation decision-makers. Available tools will be presented for each phase of the project life cycle, including: multi-criteria decision analysis to identify and evaluate stakeholder needs; the social sustainability evaluation matrix to evaluate social impacts from site activities; and surveys to evaluate and overcome risk perception barriers.
The course will include breakout sessions to practice using tools. It is a great entry level course for engineers and scientists. No social science background is needed.

Comprehensive ITRC DNAPL Guidance: Integrated DNAPL Site Strategy, Mass Flux Discharge, and Bioremediation of DNAPL Sites
Instructors: Michael B. Smith (VT Dept. of Env. Conservation)Naji Akladiss, P.E. (Maine Department of Environmental Protection)Ryan A. Wymore, P.E. (CDM Smith)Tamzen W. Macbeth, Ph.D., P.E. (CDM Smith)Charles (Chuck) J. Newell, Ph.D., P.E. (GSI Environmental Inc.)
Objective: This workshop will present an overall strategy for characterizing and remediating sites contaminated with dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs). As a part of this strategy, the state of the art for measurement and use of mass flux/mass discharge will be presented, as well as how bioremediation can be used as a remediation strategy at DNAPL sites. The potential audience is all environmental professionals, including regulators, site owners, consultants, and stakeholders.
Overview: Over the past several years, the ITRC has developed cutting-edge technical and regulatory guidance for characterization, remediation, and management of sites contaminated with DNAPLs. This workshop will present three related and relevant ITRC guidance documents: 1. Integrated DNAPL Site Strategy (IDSS): This
guidance presents a framework for managing and remediating sites contaminated with DNAPL. The approach, structured as an iterative flowchart, includes emphasis on developing a comprehensive conceptual site model (CSM), creating specific, measureable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) objectives, appropriately applying and evaluating remedial technologies, and re-evaluating the remedy and modifying the approach as necessary.
2. Measurement and Use of Mass Flux and Mass Discharge: This guidance summarizes the basic concepts of mass flux and mass discharge and describes how this information can improve
the management of contaminated sites. The ITRC guidance includes a comprehensive presentation of the primary measurement and estimation techniques, including advantages and disadvantages of each. In addition, several case studies are presented as examples of applications of mass flux and mass discharge. These measurements can be helpful for predicting post-treatment plume conditions and remediation timeframes, as well as for establishing measurable interim remedial action objectives to allow transitioning to less costly treatment strategies.
3. In Situ Bioremediation of Chlorinated Ethenes: DNAPL Source Zones: This final ITRC document on DNAPLs presents technical and regulatory guidance for application of in situ bioremediation (ISB) in chlorinated ethene DNAPL source zones. ISB has several advantages compared to other technologies when applied in source zone because of two primary factors: 1) enhanced dissolution and/or desorption of nonaqueous and/or sorbed-phase contaminant mass, and 2) biological degradation to nontoxic end products. The ability of ISB to enhance the dissolution and desorption of nonaqueous-phase contaminants to the aqueous phase, where they can be degraded by the microbial population, is what makes the ISB technology applicable to DNAPL source zones. This typically results in faster remediation compared to traditional technologies that are limited by the NAPL dissolution rate (i.e., groundwater extraction).

Collection of Mass Magnetic Susceptibility Data to Quantify Abiotic Degradation of Chlorinated Ethylenes on Magnetite using a Downhole Sonde
Instructors: Todd Hunt Wiedemeier, PG (T.H. Wiedemeier & Associates, Inc.)John T. Wilson, Ph.D. (Scissortail Environmental Solutions, LLC.)Barbara H. Wilson (Scissortail Environmental Solutions, LLC)
Objective: To teach the course participant how to collect mass magnetic susceptibility data to evaluate abiotic degradation on magnetite.
Overview: Abiotic degradation on magnetite has been shown to be an important degradation mechanism for chlorinated ethylenes ). ESTCP Project ER-201129 quantified the relationship between magnetic susceptibility and the rate of abiotic degradation on magnetite using magnetic susceptibility data from borehole core samples, with increasing mass magnetic susceptibility causing faster degradation.
Using mass magnetic susceptibility to predict abiotic degradation of chlorinated alkenes on magnetite in the aquifer matrix has been shown to be viable, but before the work presented in this short course, such evaluation required that a borehole core sample be submitted for laboratory analysis. Unfortunately, obtaining core samples at many sites is problematic because the majority of hazardous waste sites have largely been characterized and no additional boreholes/groundwater monitoring wells are planned. Because the abiotic degradation on magnetite has only recently been discovered, most previous site characterization efforts did not include collection of borehole core samples for magnetic susceptibility analysis. Thus, the ability to quantify this degradation mechanism was limited.
In this course, an affordable technique is presented that measures magnetic susceptibility with a downhole sonde (probe) that can be easily deployed into existing 2- or 4-inch non-metallic groundwater monitoring wells. ESTCP Project ER-201584 determined that there is a relationship between magnetic susceptibility by using a relatively inexpensive downhole magnetic susceptibility sonde and determining the magnetic susceptibility of an aquifer through laboratory analyses of aquifer matrix samples collected from borehole core samples. If properly utilized, the downhole magnetic susceptibility sonde has the ability to save responsible parties significant amounts of money in unnecessary drilling costs while still allowing abiotic degradation mechanisms and facilitating monitored natural attenuation to be quantified.

The Biogeochemical Toolbox: Enhancing Natural Remedial Processes
Instructors: Karen Kinsella, Ph.D. (GZA GeoEnvironmental)Tanya Justham, M.S. (GZA GeoEnvironmental)
Objective: Provide a greater understanding of some of the fundamental redox processes that help Mother Nature deal with common organic and inorganic contaminants in the environment, and current techniques to enhance these processes to remediate groundwater and soil. The potential audience includes environmental professionals, state and federal regulators, property developers, and community stakeholders.
Overview: Groundwater pollution is a serious problem throughout the world. Mother Nature can heal herself, but we can help her do it faster by enhancing natural remedial processes. All life forms get energy from electron transfer, or oxidation and reduction reactions. This electron cycling is called “redox”, for reduction/oxidation. Groundwater redox chemistry controls everything from bacteria-eating oil spills to iron minerals capturing chrome from leaky plating baths. This course will teach strategies to enhance natural biochemical and geochemical processes for groundwater protection and remediation.
One example of remediation by redox manipulation involves perchloroethylene (also referred to as perc, PCE, or tetrachloroethene). Perc is a man-made chlorinated solvent used in dry-cleaning and metal degreasing. In oxygenated groundwater, some perc can evaporate, but very little can be degraded by bacteria; however, if there happens to be a leaky oil tank in the same area as the perc spill, bacteria eating the oil will use up oxygen and other electron acceptors in the groundwater. As
the bacteria feed on the energy-rich oil, they lower the groundwater redox potential. Once redox conditions get low enough, other types of bacteria can eat the oil breakdown products and “breathe” the perc. The result is cleanup of both oil and perc. Any organic carbon source can create similar low redox conditions. To speed up this process, additives like sugars and vegetable oils can be injected.
This course will help you:1. Gain a greater appreciation for the myriad of
biogeochemical processes that occur in the environment;
2. Develop a vocabulary for investigating and discussing these processes;
3. Be able to ask focused questions about the interactions between biology, geology, and chemistry; and
4. Work with Mother Nature to find efficient, cost-effective solutions to soil and groundwater pollution.

Hands-On Tour of the New API Guidance on Petroleum Natural Source Zone Depletion (NSZD)
Instructors: Tom Palaia, P.E. (CH2M)Eric Nichols, P.E. (Substrata, LLC)Julio Zimbron, Ph.D. (Colorado State University Research and Innovation Center)
Objective: The primary objective of this course is to train attendees on the use of the new American Petroleum Institute (API) NSZD guide. This presentation will provide a concise summary of the current literature on NSZD, a detailed description of the content in new guidance, and practical how-to guidance to monitor and evaluate NSZD. This course will be useful for those responsible for regulating, planning, implementing, and interpreting and applying the results of NSZD evaluations.
Overview: There is growing recognition that NSZD often contributes significantly to losses of light nonaqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) mass, and has become an important consideration for petroleum site remediation. NSZD is a term used to describe the collective naturally-occurring processes of dissolution, volatilization, and biodegradation that results in mass losses of LNAPL constituents from the subsurface.
In order to provide interested parties (i.e., site owners, regulators, and practitioners) with a basic understanding of NSZD processes and methods to quantify mass loss rates related to NSZD, the API led an initiative to develop a practical guidance for Quantification of Vapor Phase-related NSZD Processes (API NSZD guide). The primary objective of the document is to improve NSZD understanding and data quality by providing a consistent methodology that represents the current state of knowledge and practice.
This presentation will describe the API NSZD guide, including theory, application, measurement methods, and data interpretation. Three methods are described in detail: i) the gradient, ii) passive flux trap, and iii) the dynamic closed chamber (DCC). The gradient method estimates fluxes of biodegradation gases (e.g., oxygen and carbon dioxide) within a region of the vadose zone based on effective vapor diffusion coefficients and changes in concentration with depth (the soil gas concentration gradient). Two new methods have emerged in recent years: passive flux trap and the DCC method. Both of these methods focus on directly measuring the fluxes of biodegradation by-product gases from the ground surface (i.e., carbon dioxide efflux). The DCC method measures efflux in real time using an automated chamber and gas analyzer system. It generates single-time (snap shot) soil gas flux measurements. The passive flux trap measures long-term integrated (average) fluxes over multiple days using a temporary receiver pipe and sorbent apparatus. The guide also provides key elements of an NSZD monitoring program design, implementation procedures, data evaluation considerations, and method limitations. It also identifies areas of emerging research related to NSZD evaluation, such as methods that quantify NSZD using soil thermal gradients.
Following presentation of each key guidance section, hands-on exercises will be conducted to demonstrate use of the equipment and how to analyze the data.

Bioelectrochemical Tools for Sustainable Remediation
Instructors: Song Jin (Advanced Environmental Technologies)Kevin T. Finneran, Ph.D. (Clemson University)Jens Blotevogel, Ph.D. (Colorado State University)
Objective: Introduce and discuss the background, mechanisms, applicabilities, field implementation, operation, and challenges of using bioelectrochemical tools for environmental remediation. The potential audience includes environmental professionals (e.g., consultants, engineers, scientists), state and federal regulators, project owners, and organizations or individuals with interests in sustainable remediation technologies.
Overview: Bioelectrochemical systems (BECSs) are a class of technologies developed to initiate, enhance or support environmental remediation of a variety of contaminants in surface and subsurface matrices by integrating electrochemistry and bioremediation. BECSs (commercially trademarked as “E-Redox”) can be applied for both source and plume treatment. Treatment can be active in that electricity is constantly fed to the BECS, or it can be passive in that redox gradients are created with the BECS installation to take advantage of electron transfer within the matrix without any energy consumption. Since the BECS technologies rely on electron transfer and electrochemistry pathways, conventional matrix permeability is less a concern than local conductivity.
This workshop will cover the mechanisms and implementations of two major BECSs: (1) E-Redox technology focuses on the integration of biological and electrochemical processes in the areal matrix; and (2) electrolytic treatment focuses on direct electron transfer at and/or
radical reactions adjacent to the electrodes while generating molecular oxygen and hydrogen for microbial enhancement. Both technologies are suitable for in situ remediation of groundwater and saturated soils, where contaminants of concern include petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, oxyanions (e.g., perchlorate), metals (e.g., Cr(VI), U) and persistent organic pollutants such as 1,4-dioxane and perfluorinated compounds. In treating petroleum compounds, the E-Redox system does not require any energy or consumable material input and therefore is a truly sustainable remediation technology. The relatively low DC power requirements for electrolytic treatment and reductive E-Redox processes can be supplied from either household power or renewable sources (e.g., solar).
An additional aspect of BECS is that microbial communities develop specific redox gradients, which can be monitored using voltage and current density akin to a typical fuel cell. In other words, specific microbial processes can be monitored using remotely deployed equipment that continuously logs simple electrical parameters. Changes in the electrical parameters monitored indicates changes within and amongst the microbial communities, which then allows the site stakeholders to determine if they need to intervene. This represents a significant cost savings for practitioners, as it eliminates the need to sample a site, or alter the course of remediation, until real-time data indicate that the microbial community has shifted.
Participants of this course will be introduced to the mechanisms of different types of BECSs technologies that can be applied for sustainable remediation, as well as general procedures for technology implementation in the field. The course will also cover system operations/maintenance, monitoring, and trouble-shooting. Biosensors and their applications in monitoring microbial activity in support of bioremediation will also be presented.
