Abstract

The development and implementation of a treatment programme for full scale bioremediation of a creosote contaminated site is described. Following a one year feasibility study investigating physical, chemical and biological methods for treating creosote‐derived polyaromatic hydrocarbons in soil, two remedial systems were constructed: (a) an in situ treatment facility handling 15000m³ of contaminated soil, designed to allow building development to take place simultaneously, above ground; (b) separate clean‐up of 3500m³ of excavated soil in an off‐site treatment bed.
