ABSTRACT
This article provides an overview of the bioremediation of groundwater plumes containing admixtures of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) and 1,4-dioxane. The remediation of these plumes has historically focused on the reductive dechlorination of the CVOCs. Many of the remaining plumes are relatively large, and contaminant concentrations are diluted below the concentrations that can sustain reductive dechlorination. Cometabolic processes can decrease contaminant concentrations below the thresholds needed to support direct metabolism but typically require the addition of a substrate, such as high-purity propane. Relatively intensive site characterization and monitoring is necessary to implement bioremediation.
