Site Goals Achieved in Two Months at Former Manufacturing Facility using Combined Remedy Approach
 This case study reviews a contaminated manufacturing site in Santa Barbara, California. A former manufacturing operation had left PCE and TCE contaminant levels above regulatory limits with previous remediation approaches attempted without complete success. Applying a combined remedy approach, Haro Environmental chose to focus on incorporating a design to rapidly reduce contaminant concentrations for sustained treatment, and reduce the potential for further downgradient migration of the PCE and TCE contaminants. After conducting a pre-field remediation test, the injection interval was reduced from 12 feet to 9 feet with a bottom-up approach, reducing the project costs by 30%. The combination of PlumeStop, HRC and BDI+ successfully eliminated the contaminants and created conditions for sustained treatment at the site.
Client Spotlight: Elliot Haro, Vice President and Principal Scientist at Haro Environmental, Inc.
 Elliot R. Haro, Vice President and Principal Scientist at Haro Environmental is responsible for a wide range of the firm’s services, which provides him with ongoing diversity in his work. “My current role with the company includes managing everything from procurement and marketing to project management and project implementation, including sampling and reporting,” says Haro. “As such, there’s a nice balance between field work and office work.” He also likes the fact that each day is different. His work spans client and contract management, project management where he manages field services and reporting, to soil, soil vapor and groundwater investigations and site assessment. He helped form Haro Environmental, Inc. in 2013, with the goal of providing best in-class, client-focused consulting services. He discusses his greatest challenge and where the remediation industry is evolving in our Client Spotlight.
Turn Polluted Aquifers into Purifying Filters with PlumeStop
 Contaminant retardation is now a controllable variable with PlumeStop. PlumeStop Liquid Activated Carbon is a break-through groundwater remediation technology that reduces dissolved phase contaminant plumes in days. Composed of extremely fine particles of activated carbon (1‐2μm) suspended in water through a proprietary dispersion chemistry, PlumeStop flows into the subsurface at low pressure and achieves wide-spread distribution – a capability unlike any other form of activated carbon used for groundwater remediation today.
Low-cost Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvents
 HRC® is an engineered, hydrogen release compound designed specifically for enhanced, in situ anaerobic bioremediation of chlorinated compounds in groundwater or highly saturated soils. HRC enables enhanced anaerobic biodegradation by adding hydrogen (an electron donor) to groundwater and/or soil to increase the number and vitality of indigenous microorganisms able to perform the naturally occurring process of enhanced reductive dechlorination. Due to its capability of being applied via permanent wells, direct-push, and excavations, this reagent allows for clean, low-cost, non-disruptive application.
Accelerated Treatment of Intermediate Compounds
 Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM® Plus (BDI Plus) is designed to provide an effective treatment of undesirable anaerobic dechlorination intermediates such as dichloroethene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC), and is a low-cost means of enhancing the anaerobic biodegradation process. Once in place, this microbial consortium accelerates the rate of chlorinated contaminant degradation from parent compounds to intermediates like DCE and VC and completely through to harmless end products such as ethene and ethane. It is highly compatible with a range of electron donors.

Case Study: Use of PlumeStop Results in Successful Pay-for-Performance Contract with FDEP to Address Large BTEX Plume
REGENESIS hosted a technical presentation with speaker Gordon Dean, Vice President of Advanced Environmental Technologies, LLC (AET). His presentation discussed a project where Mr. Dean designed a remedial approach employing PlumeStop®, RegenOx® and ORC Advanced® to sorb, degrade and destroy an existing petroleum contaminant plume. Joining Mr. Dean was Chad Northington, Southeast District Technical Manager at REGENESIS. The full recording is available here.
