Description:
The application of nutrients to assist and accelerate naturally occurring biodegradation processes was studied at field scale on contaminated shoreline in Prince William Sound as part of the effort to recover from the Exxon Valdez oil spill. election of fertilizer forms and means to apply the nutrients comprised a major part of the evaluation project. iquid and solid forms of nutrients were tested. New and innovative application technology was investigated for use under field conditions. ase of application and cost-effective technology were important selection criteria. orker protection and environmental-effect concerns served to modify the selection of application technology. etails of application technology selection are presented, difficulties with application and areas for potential research are discussed. rojections for development of application technology to subsurface deposits of stranded oil are made.
