Biodegradation of Buried MC252 Oil in Coastal Beach Sands by PAH Degraders in Response to Oxygen Biostimulation

Six years following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, buried MC252 oil persists on a beach segment in Fourchon, LA due to the natural anaerobic conditions of tidal groundwater. A field trial of in situ aerobic bioremediation of buried oil began on July 2015. Oxygen was added to the subsurface using W...
