Section G - Crude Oil in the Subsurface Environment at Bemidji, Minnesota
Section G contains papers on the natural biodegradation and transport
of crude oil in the subsurface at Bemidji, Minnesota. The papers describe
crude-oil contamination that resulted from a pipeline failure. Because the
time the contamination occurred and the amount of crude oil in the subsurface
are known, this site has provided USGS researchers and others a unique opportunity
to study contaminant hydrology; information on the source of contamination
usually is not available for most sites of ground-water contamination. Examples
of specific topics in this section are papers on the use of simulation to
study field-scale solute transport and biodegradation, and on small-scale
chemical heterogeneities in the contaminated aquifer.
