This saves both money and headaches. To the people in surrounding communities, though, it can appear that clean-up officials are simply walking away from contaminated sites.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen is natural attenuation the appropriate approach to a clean-up? This book presents the consensus of a diverse committee, informed by the views of researchers, regulators, and community activists. The committee reviews the likely effectiveness of natural attenuation with different classes of contaminants-and describes how to evaluate the \"footprints\" of natural attenuation at a site to determine whether natural processes will provide adequate clean-up. Included are recommendations for regulatory change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe committee emphasizes the importance of the public's belief and attitudes toward remediation and provides guidance on involving community stakeholders throughout the clean-up process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book explores how contamination occurs, explaining concepts and terms, and includes case studies from the Hanford nuclear site, military bases, as well as other sites. It provides historical background and important data on clean-up processes and goes on to offer critical reviews of 14 published protocols for evaluating natural attenuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Commission on Geosciences Environment an,Board on Radioactive Waste Management,Water Science and Technology Board\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309069327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309069328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.41w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2001 pg. 141","brand":"Commission on Geosciences Environment an","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064823918847,"sku":"9780309069328","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b93fb6ea-2d49-4ef5-9f7c-054e5e1bea7f.jpg?v=1768671272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/natural-attenuation-for-groundwater-remediation-commission-on-geosciences-environment-an-9780309069328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
