ABSTRACT

This chapter summarizes a risk-based approach to support bioremediation as a technology for site closure. The approach to closure was presented to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC). TNRCC has approved the permit modification, and full-scale bioremediation of the lagoon sludge and soil mixture is currently underway. This risk-based corrective approach by Texas Eastman Division will result in substantial cost savings and is protective of human health and environment.
