                                         INTRODUCTION
This matrix is a tool for identifying bioremediation documents that are pertinent to your interests.  This matrix lists over 80
bioremediation-related documents and identifies their content and document ordering numbers. To confirm that you wish to order
a document listed here, use this matrix in conjunction with the Bioremediation Resource Guide (EPA/542-B-93-004), which
contains abstracts for each of these listings. The abstract identification code in the left column of this matrix refers to the abstracts
in the Guide.  The number corresponds to a page number in the Guide and the letter corresponds to an abstract on that page. For
example:
Abstract :

Resource Quids
Abstract A on
page 6 of the
Resource Guide
Information contained in this Guide is not intended to be all-inclusive, nor does it represent an endorsement by EPA. In an effort
to limit the number of resources listed here, documents on oil spills, waste minimization, natural process bioremediation, leaching/
immobilization, and ex-situ aqueous bioremediation, and other media (e.g., air and surface water), as well as Records of Decision
and proceedings are not included. Samples of documents focused on ex-situ bioremediation of wastewater and leachate using a
biofilter and a bioreactor are included in the matrix. However, those seeking information on these topics or other topics not
addressed in this matrix may wish to contact the hotlines, dockets, etc. listed on the adjacent panel.
               HOW TO ORDER DOCUMENTS LISTED IN THIS GUIDE
EPA 540 and 600 documents may be available through CERI and/or NCEPI. These document repositories provide in-stock
documents free of charge, but document supplies may be limited. Prior to purchasing documents, you may wish to contact a
technical library.
