The New Harbor Works at Dover

Field-scale demonstration of induced biogeochemical reductive dechlorination at Dover Air Force Base, Dover, Delaware.

Biogeochemical reductive dechlorination (BiRD) is a new remediation approach for chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). The approach stimulates common sulfate-reducing soil bacteria, facilitating the geochemical conversion of native iron minerals into iron sulfides. Iron sulfides have the ability to chemically reduce many common CAH compounds including PCE, TCE, DCE, similar to zero valent ...

Thomas Dover and the South Sea Company.

It is well known that Thomas Dover's career was one of the most colourful and varied of any British medical practitioner. He has been described erroneously as a "buccaneer",' a "mountebank"2 and a "pirate on the Spanish Main" :" all these labels do him ill justice and ignore the temper of his times. More accurately, he should be regarded as a "physician and merchant adventurer",' although the f...

Environmental monitoring of remedial dredging at the New Bedford Harbor, MA, Superfund site.

New Bedford Harbor (NBH), MA, is a Superfund site because of high polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations in the sediment. From April 1994 to September 1995, a remedial dredging operation (termed the "Hot Spot") removed the most contaminated sediments (PCB concentrations greater than 4000 microg/g) from the upper harbor. During remediation, a monitoring program assessed the potential envi...
