In April of 1999 the USEPA issued a directive (35) clarifying the EPA s policy regarding the use of natural attenuation for remediation of soil and groundwater at sites administered by EPA s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. EPA clearly states that it does not consider the use of natural attenuation as a remedial action to be a no action or walk-away approach nor does it consider it to be a presumptive or default remedy. The EPA coined the term monitored natural attenuation (MNA) to indicate that this option is heavily dependent on long-term performance monitoring of the system...

GC/ECD or a halogen-specific detector (HSD) (Method 8080) is the technique recommended by EPA s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response for determining a- and [3-endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate in water and waste water at low-ppb levels (EPA 1986a). At these low concentrations, identification of endosulfan residues can be hampered by the presence of a variety of other pesticides. Consequently, sample clean-up on a Florisil column is usually required prior to analysis (EPA 1986a).
