This volume is part of a 6-volume series (volumes 2-7) containing the Proceedings from the annual Symposium on Remediation of Diesel Fuel Contaminated Soils, sponsored by the Association for the American Railroads Research and Test Department. The topics covered have broad applicability. Articles are based on presentations at the symposia, and go well beyond railroad sites and issues. The series brings into focus issues relating to the remediation of diesel contaminated soils, with an emphasis on bioremediation. The six volumes span the nineties, tracing the rapid and significant developments in the field that have occurred in response to regulatory changes regarding underground storage tanks and the protection of groundwater.

The contents of volume 4 principally bear on two major issues in remediation today: the expanding use of bioremediation techniques, and the application of risk-based criteria to site cleanup. A number of the papers included in this volume provide additional information on the steps required to successfully apply the technique, including some novel applications and circumstances of particular relevance to railroad industry users. In the broader sense, the value of bioremediation is its role as an economical method in which the hydrocarbon contaminates are converted by microbial activity into harmless by products, often without even requiring the removal of the contaminated soil.
