The Bioremediation in the Field Search System (BFSS) provides
access to database of information on waste sites across the country where bioremediation
is being tested or implemented or has been completed. BFSS users can search the database
electronically, view data on specific types of bioremediation sites, and print reports of
selected information. Registered users also receive EPA's quarterly Bioremediation in
the Field bulletin. |

BFSS currently provides information on ex situ and in situ
technologies at more than 450 bioremediation sites nationwide. The database includes
full-scale remediation efforts and treatability studies that cover sites under EPA's
CERCLA, RCRA, TSCA, and UST authority. Data for sites include:
- Location
