| Bioremediation in the Field Search System (BFSS) | The Bioremediation in the Field Search System (BFSS) provides access to database of information on waste sites across the country where bioremediation is being tested or implemented or has been completed. BFSS users can search the database electronically, view data on specific types of bioremediation sites, and print reports of selected information. | BFSS currently provides information on ex situ and in situ technologies at more than 450 bioremediation sites nationwide. The database includes full-scale remediation efforts and treatability studies that cover sites under EPA's CERCLA, RCRA, TSCA, and UST authority. | BFSS requires an IBM-compatible PC with at least 640K of memory and MS-DOS 3.3 or higher. | BFSS is available on
diskette free of charge from EPA's Center for Environmental Research
Information (CERI). Please call 513-569-7562 to request a copy. |
