The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency confirmed nearly 3,000 new releases from underground storage tanks (USTs) during fiscal year 2010, bringing the cumulative total to 491,572 releases since 1984. Although progress has been made in cleaning these sites, over 96,000 of them still require remedial action. These UST leaks pose a grave threat to human health and the environment by contaminating groundwater and soil.
This course provides an overview of in-situ groundwater bioremediation, which can effectively degrade organic constituents that are dissolved in groundwater. The course is intended for engineers who wish to expand their knowledge of alternative methods of groundwater treatment.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate the initial and detailed factors used to determine the viability of in situ groundwater bioremediation.
- Explain how site characteristics, including hydraulic conductivity, soil type, microbial presence, and groundwater properties, influence bioremediation.
- Describe how contaminant characteristics, including chemical structure, toxicity, and solubility, influence bioremediation.
- Identify placement considerations for extraction, injection, and monitoring wells.
- Distinguish between the start-up and normal phases of bioremediation operation.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
