Since 1998, The Contaminated Site Clean-Up Information (CLU-IN) website has presented Internet Seminars covering a wide variety of technical topics related to hazardous waste characterization, monitoring, and remediation. For select seminar topics offered since 2012, we are making complete video recordings available through our archives. This feed contains all video seminars archived in the last 12 months. For a complete list of seminars archived since 2000, please visit http://www.clu-in.org/live/archive/. Our Rehabilitation Act Notice for reasonable accommodation is available at http://www.clu-in.org/training/accommodation.cfm. CLU-IN was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) but is intended as a forum for all waste remediation stakeholders.

Chlorinated Solvent Bioremediation: Fundamentals and Practical Application for Remedial Project Managers (Nov 14, 2018)
Anaerobic reductive dechlorination (ARD) can be used to cost-effectively remediate chlorinated solvent sites. In ARD, microbial communities use substrates to sequentially degrade chlorinated solvents such as trichlorethylene (TCE). Depending on conditions at a site, remediation may involve adding substrates (biostimulation) and/or dechlorinating organisms (bioaugmentation). This presentation will discuss the biological and chemical principles of this technology and is geared toward remedial project managers. Key considerations for site specific application will be covered. In addition, case studies will provide examples of data from sites displaying ARD as well as sites with poor performance or insufficient data. This webinar is a result of Recommendation 9 of EPA's Superfund Task Force, which encourages the Superfund program to "utilize state-of-the-art technologies to expedite cleanup." Actions under this recommendation include expanding the use of new remediation technologies and approaches to address contaminated sites. https://www.epa.gov/superfund/superfund-task-force-public-participation-opportunities#webinar To view this archive online or download the slides associated with this seminar, please visit http://www.clu-in.org/conf/tio/ChlorSolvBio_111418/
