Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) is often a preferred option relative to active in situ remediation as it is:
- Less invasive, especially for site with existing activities or obstructions
- Uses existing subsurface processes such as biological/abiotic degradation, dispersion, dilution, and retardation to reduce risk.
- Relatively lower in cost when compared to other remedial technologies
XDD has been providing MNA evaluation and sampling services throughout our history, those services include:
- Conceptual model refinement
- Evaluation of fate and transport within groundwater and vapor phases
- Timeframe estimates relative to source zone properties
- Evaluation of existing MNA pathways, such as:
- Dispersion
- Dilution
- Abiotic and biotic transformations
- Retardation
- Site investigations and analyses to determine the magnitude of MNA processes
