A study was conducted as part of a larger research project termed CORONA (Consortium for Research on Natural Attenuation) to assess monitored natural attenuation as a cost-effective scheme for remediation of upstream oil and gas (exploration and production) sites. The findings of this study are used in subsequent fate and transport modeling to develop a risk-based approach to predict natural attenuation variability at upstream oil and gas sites. The study site is a former flare pit site located in west-central Alberta, Canada. Solid stem augering was used for initial drilling. Soil logs showed heterogeneous distribution of clay, silt, and sandy units. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Organic Chemicals in Ground Water: Prevention, Assessment, and Remediation Conference (Houston, TX 11/6-7/2006).
