ABSTRACT

A study was conducted to determine if bioremediation was a feasible alternative for the remediation of a particular petroleum-contaminated site in Saskatchewan, Canada. The feasibility study included the following: site investigation, site assessment, degradation rates, bioremediation alternatives (landfarming, composting, and biopile/biofiltration integration), feasibility analysis and preliminary design of the selected alternative. It was determined that the biopile composting alternative was best suited for this project.
