A multidisciplinary international site assessment and remediation project has been undertaken for an operating paint manufacturing site in Germany, with specialist input from collaborating research centers and remediation consultants from both Australia and Germany. After a detailed chemical and hydrogeological investigation revealed areas of contamination with aromatic and aliphatic solvent hydrocarbons, soil and groundwater samples were collected for detailed microcosm-based studies to demonstrate the potential for biodegradation of the contaminants of concern. In situ biodegradation rates in the unsaturated zone were established by a field test program involving air injection testing, tracer testing and in situ respiration studies. 2 refs., 4 tabs.
