SEPA Symposium on
Intrinsic
Bioremediation
of Ground Water
Hyatt Regency Denver

Denver, CO 90202
August 30-September 1, 1994
-------
INTRODUCTION
This three-day symposium is being organized by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (U.S. EPA's)
Biosystems Technology Development Program and the
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), with additional spon-
sorship from the U.S. Air Force.
Intrinsic bioremediation, the natural degradation of sub-
stances in ground water, can reduce concentrations of
some important types of contaminants. This sympo-
sium will focus on the state of the science and on regula-
tory issues associated with application of the technology.
The symposium will also provide an opportunity for peo-
ple interested in intrinsic bioremediation as a ground
water treatment option to exchange information and
views.
PURPOSE
Presentations will concentrate on identifying the primary
controls on intrinsic bioremediation and the regulatory
issues for use of intrinsic bioremediation. Case studies
of actual sites where intrinsic bioremediation has been
applied will be presented. Posters will be on display
throughout the symposium describing these case
studies and providing data that demonstrates the
removal of hydrocarbons.
AUDIENCE
The symposium will be attended by the regulatory and
regulated communities and by scientists involved in all
aspects of intrinsic bioremediation, including repre-
sentatives of state and federal agencies and industry,
academia, and contractors.
