Procedure

of the Dofasco Boatslip in 1992 resulted in the biodegradation of several organic compounds (mean of three samples, reductions as follows; toluene 80%, ethylbenzene 86%, m/p-xylene 76%, 3/4-ethyltoluene 89%, and dichloromethane 65%) (FIG. 29). These relatively rapid biodegradation rates are similar to those reported in laboratory studies where nitrate was added to enhance biodegradation (Hutchins 1991).
