[USCC] Environmental Remediation by composting

[Craig Coker]

Colleagues:

 

I am working on a magazine article for Biocycle on the use of composting for
remediation of contaminated sites.  My literature search has yielded some
good results (particularly the work of Drs. Chaney & Brown on the use of
biosolids for metals remediation, and work in the '90s at Umatilla Army
Depot and Dubose Oil Products), but what I am seeing more of now in the
remediation literature is bioaugmentation, or just adding nutrients and
microbes to excavated soil, rather than mixing soils with high-energy
compostable feedstocks for degradation of organic chemicals.

 

Can anyone refer me to a more current project they might know about that
would make a good case study for the article?

 

As usual, many thanks for the advice!

 

Regards,

Craig
