    2. Leaking Underground Storage Tank Research Prevention and control of pollution at LUST sites by proper characterization of fuels and release sites, and development of effective risk management approaches Fuels analysis, understanding current and future shifts in supply Improving understanding fate and transport, use of models incorporating defining characteristics of releases Develop treatment options anticipating fuel composition changes and nature of sites where releases will occur

    3. Fuels Analysis ORD nationwide gas composition study Examined variability within given locality, seasonal and geographical Examined over 300 chemical in fuels, including oxygenates, and PIANO grouping (paraffins, isoparaffins, aromatics, napthalenes, olefins) Working with intra- and inter-agency workgroups in developing alternative fuel options, anticipating fuel changes

    5. Treatment Approaches For ex situ treatment, developed patented Biomass Concentrator Reactor (BCR) for effective treatment of oxygenates, meeting drinking water standards For in situ treatment, better characterization and modeling has resulted in better definition of source and more effective cleanup

    7. LUST Outputs – Publications Impact of Ethanol on the Natural Attenuation of Benzene, Toluene, and o-Xylene in a Normally Sulfate-Reducing Aquifer (Environ. Sci. & Tech., 2006) Anaerobic Biodegradation of Ethylene Dibromide and 1,2-Dichloroethane in the Presence of Fuel Hydrocarbons (Environ. Sci. & Tech., 2008) Monitored Natural Attenuation of Tertiary Butyl Alcohol (TBA) in Ground Water at Gasoline Spill Sites (EPA/600/R-07/100) Impact of Ethanol on the Natural Attenuation of MTBE in a Normally Sulfate-Reducing Aquifer (Environ. Sci. & Tech., 2007)

    13. Oil Spills Research to understand fate and transport of spills for development of strategies to respond to spills on inland and coastal waterways and shorelines Development of practical solutions to mitigate impact to freshwater and marine environments Development of testing guidelines addressing environment, type of oil (e.g. petroleum-based, vegetable), and agent for remediation

    14. Oil Spills - Outputs Models including the composition and properties of spilled oil, natural dispersion, emulsification, weathering, and effectiveness of control strategies Protocols for product testing, e.g. dispersant effectiveness, bioremediation agents, surface washing agents Protocols used to identify products for the National Products Listing
