Message-ID: <32591B6B.735C@gzea.com> Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 08:02:03 -0700 From: Richard Schaffner <rschaffner@GZEA.COM> Subject: BioGroup To: Multiple recipients of list CIVIL-L <CIVIL-L@hermes.csd.unb.ca> Fellow Environmental Scientist/Engineer, GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (GZA) is hosting a bioremediation discussion group (BioGroup) on the Internet. The BioGroup consists of an unmoderated mailing list serving over 800 members worldwide. The BioGroup was established to provide a global forum for the engineering and scientific community to discuss intrinsic/enhanced bioremediation topics. GZA hopes this forum provides a medium to transfer technology, standardize biotreatability protocols, and advance the science and engineering of bioremediation technologies. GZA expects the forum to be a springboard for the pursuit of innovative approaches to bioremediation engineering. Because the success of the BioGroup is a function of the participation of its members, GZA invites anyone with an interest and/or experience in bioremediation to join the BioGroup. Due to the complexities of biogeochemical processes which control biotransformation, we welcome input from environmental engineers, hydrogeologists, soil scientists, microbiologists, environmental chemists, and all who wish to contribute to this important topic. GZA recognizes that bioremediation is not a treatment panacea; however, we feel it is an under-utilized remediation technology, its limitations notwithstanding. Postings to the mailing list are currently archived as a collaborative effort of the Department of Environmental Biology, University of Guelph, the Groundwater Remediation Project, National Water Research Institute, Environment Canada, and GZA. You can visit the archive at http://gwrp.cciw.ca/internet/bioremediation/biorem-archive.html To subscribe to the mailing list, visit our home page at http://www.gzea.com and scroll to "Let's Talk". Choose the "Bioremediation Mailing List" selection and follow the directions therein. BioGroup members may post messages to the mailing list by sending them to "bioremediation@gzea.com". There is no subscription fee! Please direct any questions about the discussion group to me. Regards, I. Richard Schaffner, Jr., P.G.
