Several factors, including specific microbial redox couples, COD depletion, and the presence of daughter products, are used to both gain an understanding of natural dechlorination processes occurring in groundwater and assess the extent of contaminant destruction.

Houston; National Waste Water Association/American Petroleum Institute; 1994:317-334. The framework for a repeatable and comprehensive protocol for the intrinsic bioremediation of fuels is developed. In addition, a case study detailing the application of this protocol at a fuel-contaminated site is presented.
