ASTM F 1693 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Consideration of Bioremediation as an Oil Spill Response Method on Land
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 10, 1996
Scope:
The goal of this guide is to provide recommendations for the use of
biodegradation enhancing agents
for remediating oil spills in terrestrial environments.
This is a general guide only, assuming the bioremediation agent to be
safe, effective, available,
and applied in accordance with both manufacturers' recommendations and
relevant environmental
regulations. As referred to in this guide, oil includes crude and
refined petroleum products.
This guide addresses the application of bioremediation agents alone or
in conjunction with other
technologies, following spills on surface terrestrial environments.
This guide does not consider the ecological effects of bioremediation
agents.
This guide applies to all terrestrial environments. Specifically, it
addresses various
technological applications used in these environments.
In making bioremediation-use decisions, appropriate government
authorities must be consulted as
required by law.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. In
addition, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that such
activity takes place under the
control and direction of a qualified person with full knowledge of any
potential or appropriate
safety and health protocols.
