The Role of Bioremediation in Performance-Based Contracting
Tuesday
Moderator: Scott Warner (Geomatrix Consultants, Inc)
Panelists:
Suthan Suthersan (ARCADIS)
Ryan Wymore (CDM) - Representing ITRC
David Major (GeoSyntec Consultants)

Bioremediation generally is a slow process. Performance-based contracts often involve faster remedies, selected to enable the contractor and the site owners to close a site quickly. Does bioremediation have a role to play in site closure, either as a primary remedy or as a secondary remedy for polishing off residuals? If so, what are the advantages and/or limitations of using this approach?
