Source zone natural attenuation (SZNA) could be used with greater confidence if accepted methodologies for demonstrating and measuring it were available. SZNA is an implicit component of engineered remediation schemes as it is relied upon to provide further reduction of any post-treatment residual contamination. The SZNA assessment approach developed under ESTCP project ER-200705 includes three basic levels of data collection and reduction to provide site-specific evidence for natural attenuation and develop estimates of its rate and the time required for eventual cleanup. This short course provided an overview of the SZNA assessment approach for assessing DNAPL and mixed DNAPL/LNAPL-impacted sites. The course also highlighted a technical guidance document, which focuses on the assessment of dissolved plume natural attenuation.
