Cleaning up the large number of groundwater contamination sites is a significant and complex environmental challenge. The environmental industry continually searches for remediation methods that are effective and cost-effective. Over the last 10 years there have been surprising and important developments in our understanding of key mitigation processes and technologies for assessing natural mitigation processes, and a changing institutional perspective on when and where monitored natural mitigation (MNA) can be applied. Despite these advances, the restoration of groundwater contaminated by anthropogenic sources to allow its unrestricted use remains a challenge. Due to a complex combination of physical, chemical, and biological constraints associated with active clean-in-place technologies, there has been a longstanding focus on understanding the natural processes that attenuate groundwater plumes of pollutants. We will draw on basic principles of environmental science and environmental engineering to discover how best to implement MNA as a viable treatment for groundwater plumes. In addition, we will delve into the history behind and make predictions about the new directions of this technology. Any professional working in the environmental remediation industry will benefit from this in-depth study of MNA. We will use lectures, readings, and computational exercises to improve our understanding and implementation of MNA. Upon completion of this course, students will have up-to-date understanding and practical tools that can be applied to all possible MNA sites.
