Project 2-4-02-05/06: Natural attenuation of petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater environments – literature review

Project Leader: Associate Professor Noel Merrick

Duration of Project: Completed

Project Summary

This literature review represents the initial phase of work in a larger programme seeking to provide a scientific basis for stronger acceptance of natural attenuation as a remediation strategy in Australia. The scope comprises review of literature relevant to natural attenuation at petroleum sites, to determine the information that is available and the issues that need to be resolved to achieve broader regulatory and industry acceptance.
