In situ bioremediation process where natural microbial communities at acontaminated site are bio-stimulated to degrade pollutants, such as petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) Why would we use in situ bioremediation?minimally invasive in comparison with other treatment methods (e.g. excavation, ex situ remediation)

In situ bioremediation Challenges Site specific biogeochemical conditions Selection of amendments (type and concentration) Establish and maintain optimal conditions that favourhydrocarbon degradation

Field Site: 33rd Street and Avenue P North, Saskatoon, SK

• Major effort by FCL over the past 3 years to remove PHC from the site: physical removal using multiphase extraction and bioventing. • Some remaining contamination that is recalcitrant to removal.• Next step: stimulate indigenous microbes to attempt to speed up natural biodegradation of the PHCs

HypothesesBiostimulation will speed up degradation of PHCs at the field siteBiostimulation will lead to measurable changes in the microbial community, groundwater quality, and mineralogy at the field site

ObjectivesTo characterize microbiological, mineralogical, and geochemical conditions in site groundwater and soils:

Before biostimulation After biostimulation

To develop a biogeochemical model for in situ bioremediation of this field siteTo contribute to improved approaches for remediation of PHC sites in Western Canada (SIRCA initiative)

Research approach and timeline Sample pre-biostimulation conditions (Fall 2015, Spring 2016) Groundwater sampling:

a) Existing infrastructure (7 monitoring wells)b) Additional monitoring wells (6 wells drilled Fall 2015) – also took soil/sediment samples at this time

Biostimulation phase 1 (NSERC Engage, March – Sept 2016): a) add biostimulation amendments at field site (nitrogen and phosphorus sources), sample groundwater at monthly intervalsb) Selection of amendments informed by previous work by SIRCA members (Peak, Siciliano, FCL)

Biostimulation phase 2 (Summer, Fall 2016):a) Lab-based microcosm studies to test the efficacy of surfactant additions prior to field testingb) Field testing surfactant influence on biostimulation
