Historical development of MNAHistorical development• 1985 – Always a remedial alternative: EPA says it was used in Superfund as early as 1985• 1988 – Guidance on Remedial Actions for Contaminated Ground Water at Superfund Sites discusses
natural attenuation, but mostly as a comparison standard for active remediation. Natural attenuation is not encouraged
• Began to be more commonplace with recognition of intractability of DNAPL cleanups and inadequacy of pump and treat technology
• Simultaneously, there was increasing recognition that in situ processes were containing or cleaning up contamination
• 1993-94 – Two key studies by National Research Council:• In Situ Bioremediation – When does it work? – 1993
study discusses intrinsic bioremediation• Alternatives for Ground Water Cleanup – 1994
• 1995 – Technical Protocol for Implementing Intrinsic Remediation with Long-Term Monitoring for Natural Attenuation of Fuel Contamination Dissolved in Groundwater
• Prepared by Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence working with U.S. EPA research laboratory
• Defines procedure to show intrinsic remediation is occurring• September 1996 – EPA Symposium on Natural Attenuation of Chlorinated Organics in Ground Water• November 1996 – Draft Technical Protocol for Evaluating Natural Attenuation of Chlorinated Solvents
in Groundwater (Final in Sept. 1998)• December 1997 – OSWER Policy Directive: Use of Monitored Natural Attenuation at Superfund,
RCRA Corrective Action, and Underground Storage Tank Sites• Sept.-Dec. 1998 – EPA Seminars on Monitored Natural Attenuation in nine cities around the US

Elements of Natural Attenuation
MNA is not:No-action alternativePresumptive or default remedy
MNA must be:Evaluated along with other alternativesSelected only is it meets remediation objectivesWork in reasonable time frame (30 years)Used very cautiously as sole remedy

Components of MNA
Required components of MNA:Source controlPerformance monitoring
Prerequisite for MNA:Site-specific characterization data and analysis
![Page 15: LECTURE 13 MONITORED NATURAL ATTENUATION · Monitored Natural Attenuation ... Denver, Colorado U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ... Reduced to soluble iron(II) (ferrous iron)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5aea705b7f8b9a585f8c619f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Demonstrating efficacy of MNA
1. Historical chemical data showing clear trend of decreasing mass or concentration.
2. Hydrogeologic or geochemical data that indirectly demonstrate natural attenuation processes
3. Field or microcosm studies that directly demonstrate natural attenuation processes

Aerobic biodegradation of fuel hydrocarbons
Oxygen used as electron acceptor
2C6H6 + 15O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O
Indicators of biodegradation:Reduction in dissolved oxygen (3 mg DO needed to metabolize 1 mg of benzene)Reduction in hydrocarbon concentration
![Page 17: LECTURE 13 MONITORED NATURAL ATTENUATION · Monitored Natural Attenuation ... Denver, Colorado U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ... Reduced to soluble iron(II) (ferrous iron)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5aea705b7f8b9a585f8c619f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Denitrification
Nitrate is electron acceptor
6NO3– + 6H+ + C6H6 → 6CO2↑ + 6H2O + 3N2 ↑
Actually occurs in multiple steps mediated by different bacteria:
NO3 – → NO2
– → NO → N2O → NH4+ → N2

Denitrification
Indicators of biodegradation:Reduction in nitrateReduction in hydrocarbon concentrationPresence of denitrifying bacteriaReducing conditions (dissolved oxygen < 1 mg/L)

Iron reduction
Insoluble iron(III) (ferric iron) is electron acceptorReduced to soluble iron(II) (ferrous iron)
60H+ + 30Fe(OH)3 + C6H6 →6CO2 + 30Fe2+ + 78H2O

Sulfate reduction
Sulfate is electron acceptorSulfate reduction to sulfide
30H+ + 15SO42- + 4C6H6 →
24CO2 + 15H2S + 12H2O
![Page 23: LECTURE 13 MONITORED NATURAL ATTENUATION · Monitored Natural Attenuation ... Denver, Colorado U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ... Reduced to soluble iron(II) (ferrous iron)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062600/5aea705b7f8b9a585f8c619f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Methanogenesis (Methane fermentation)
Not a redox reaction – fermentation reaction
Occurs only in highly anaerobic conditions
4C6H6 + 18H2O → 9CO2 + 15CH4

Methanogenesis
Indicators of methanogenesis:Increase in methane and carbon dioxideReduction in hydrocarbon concentrationVery low or no dissolved oxygenPresence of methanogenic bacteria

Carbon dioxide neutralization
All hydrocarbon degradation processes create CO2
CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 (carbonic acid)H2CO3 + CaCO3 → Ca2+ + 2HCO3-
CO2 neutralization increases alkalinity8 mg alk produced per mg benzene degraded
