This is an award to provide support for research to determine the               feasibility of an innovative concept using microbes to biologically             degrade volatile halogenated aliphatic organic contaminants of soil.            Volatile halogenated aliphatic compounds are predominant contaminants           at hazardous waste sites.  Trichloroethylene is the most commonly               occurring compound in this class.  These compounds are persistent and           therefore require some form of remediation or removal.  Present                 technology utilizes carbon adsorption, which means transferring the             hazardous compounds to another medium which must be decontaminated by           combustion.  The efficiency of the microbial process that is the                subject of this research will be compared with that achieved by use of          carbon adsorption and by use of alternative strains of microorganisms           that have exhibited this ability to degrade soil contaminants.                                                                                                  The proposal leading to this Phase I award was submitted in response            to NSF 88-8, Small Business Innovation Research.  Results may provide           an alternative and more efficient procedure to decontaminate soil at            sites where the target compounds have been placed or to which they              have moved.
