Abstract
On March 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez went aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska, releasing approximately 11 million gallons of Prudhoe Bay crude oil. After learning of the magnitude of the spill, the EPA office of Research and Development (ORD) convened a meeting of nationally and internationally recognized scientists in the field of oil biodegradation to evaluate the feasibility of using bioremediation to assist in cleanup operations. Recommendations from the meeting urge ORD to plan and conduct a field demonstration project to evaluate the use of fertilizers for accelerating natural biodegradation of the spilled oil.
