by P.V. Brady, M.V. Brady, and D.J. Borns
Lewis Publishers

Excerpts from 23 record of decisions (RODs) from the U.S. EPA National Priority List where natural attenuation (NA) was incorporated are given. State by state policies are listed and categorized by those with a written policy, those who don't have a policy, and those where NA is implicit in regulations. The text includes tables ranking contaminated sites by frequency of compound and lists common sources. Details are given for demonstrating NA in this great new text written by a lawyer and two scientists. Super bibliography!
