As part of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action Program for M Area, three injection wells (MOI-1 through MOI-3) were previously approved for underground injection control to have seventy-five gallons of VOS (TM) edible oil injected into the wells. VOS sequesters the cVOCs by diffusion and partitioning, and creates an efficient bioreactor for degradation for long-term enhanced attenuation and flux reduction This is a second deployment of VOS(TM) at injection wells MOI-1 through MOI-3.
