Technical Protocol for Implementing Intrinsic Remediation with Long-Term Monitoring for Natural Attenuation of Fuel Contamination Dissolved in Groundwater, Vol. II
1999. T. Wiedemeier; J.T. Wilson; D.H. Kampbell; R.N. Miller; J.E. Hansen, Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) Technology Transfer Division, Brooks AFB, San Antonio, TX. Volume 2, ADA324247, 343 pp.

Volume II presents the results of intrinsic remediation demonstrations at Hill AFB, Utah, and Patrick AFB, Florida. Engineering evaluation/cost analyses (EE/CAs) were conducted to evaluate the use of intrinsic remediation (natural attenuation) with long-term monitoring (LTM) for remediation of BTEX contamination dissolved in ground water.
