The communities in the area were left without the resources for sustainable healthy soil, clean water and locally grown produce.

Bioremediation The ecosystems of the Gulf Coast region were severely disrupted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This compost will bind metals into the soil and improve its quality and productivity. In addition to this, volunteers are collecting soil samples, which are tested by the LSU Ag Center, so as to determine if the soil contains toxins, and if clean, what plants and produce can be effectively grown.

In collaboration with Tulane University, Replant New Orleans and Hands On, Common Ground is setting up an Environmental Science Learning Project, which will work with local high school children to collect soil samples, remediate soil and provide food security in the Mid City neighborhood. At the Meg Perry Community Garden and Bioremediation Project is in the process of starting the Sprouts Club, working with local children in the Community Gardens. The Bioremediation team also grow mushrooms, which will be used to remove petrochemicals from the soil, and will also be used in compost.

Understanding how PAHs are

Specifically we are interested inthe biodegradation of creosote, wood preservative composed primarilyof polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs such as naphthalene and phenanthrene. Our field site has been EagleHarbor, located relatively close to the University of Washington inPuget Sound. The EPA arranged for placementof clean sediment over the harbors contaminated seabed in an effort tocontain the toxic compounds capping. This harbor was contaminated with creosote from defunctwood treatment plant located on its shore and has been designated an EPASuperfund Site. It continues with support from individualgrants and the University.. Creosote and its components are toxic substances whichhave been shown to have mutagenic properties.

Biotechnological methods of toxic waste effluents Existence of

large number of similar companies can be found at In some cases other considerations such as aesthetic ones can be important for removal of certain components such as dyes. As an example of bioremediation company, Envirogen NJ has developed recombinant PCB polychlorinated biphenyldegrading microorganisms with improved stability and survivability in mixed populations of soil organisms. Biotechnological methods of toxic waste treatment are likely to play an increasingly key role both as displacement for existing disposal methods and for the detoxification of novel xenobiotic compounds.

Industrial companies are therefore becoming increasingly aware of the political, social, environmental and regulatory pressures to prevent escape of effluents into the environment. On the other hand, however, it is important to limit the generation of both hazardous and nonhazardous waste as much as possible, and utilize methods wherever possible. Over the last few years, number of companies have been established already to develop and commercialize biodegradation technologies. is reflected in bioremediation having become common buzzword in waste management.

However, it be important to contain the wasteeating bacteria within the manufacturing plant, and not release these with the waste water. The interest of commercial businesses in utilizing microorganisms to detoxify effluents, soils, etc. Companies specializing in bioremediation or, as it was known several years in biodegradation technologies will need to develop viable integration of microbiology and systems engineering. The occurrence of major incidents such as the Hanford site in Washington state that once were nuclear weaponsfacilities and that contain large, buried metal buckets of radioactive wastethat are starting to leak.

On the other hand, however, it is important to limit the generation of both hazardous and nonhazardous waste as much as possible, and utilize methods wherever possible. Over the last few years, number of companies have been established already to develop and commercialize biodegradation technologies. At the same time, fortunately, regulatory authorities have been paying more attention to problems of contamination of the Rhine River, the progressive deterioration of the aquatic habitats and conifer forests in the Northeastern US, Canada, and parts of Europe, or the release of radioactive material in the Chernobyl accident, etc.

Biostimulation and bioaugmentation of

The Environment Agency EA of England and Wales and US EPA are also included. The project has completed initial characterization of DNAPL source zones, laboratory microcosm study, installation of the test cell, and baseline data collection.

In the RTDF Bioremediation Consortium initiated Phase III of its research activities when it joined forces with multinational team to launch the In Situ Source Area Bioremediation project SABRE, see for details. In addition, the University of Birmingham and BGS are conducting complimentary research project Streamtube in the SABRE test cell. The SABRE project team comprises Archon Environmental British Geological Survey BGS Celanese Acetate Chevron CLAIRE DuPont ESI GE Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. Golder Associates Honeywell ICI Scientifics SERDP Shell SiREM Terra Systems, Inc University of Edinburgh and University of Sheffield.

The goal is to demonstrate the efficacy of accelerated anaerobic bioremediation as treatment alternative for source areas contaminated with chlorinated solvent dense nonaqueous phase liquids DNAPLs.
