 | | Slurry phase bioremediation was used at the Southeastern Wood site to treat soil and sludge contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b and k)fluoranthenes, benzo(ghi)perylene, benzo(a)pyrene, chrysene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, fluoranthene, fluorene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene. |
 | | Bottom sediment sludge from the impoundments was found to contain PAHs at levels of approximately 4,000 mg/kg, and was identified as a RCRA K001-listed hazardous waste. |
 | | PAH concentrations measured included acenaphthene at 705 mg/kg, naphthalene at 673 mg/kg, and benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) at 224 mg/kg. |
