• A few of the degraders are present in EW-1, primarily the pseudomonads, but not at high levels <br /> The inoculated bacteria have not yet established themselves in this well which has had prior <br /> evidence of the presence of coliforms and coliform like bacteria. Hopefully the inoculum <br /> bacteria will establish themselves and degrade the hydrocarbons in this well without the need for <br /> a re-inoculation The fact that this well is in this state suggests the inoculum sizo was very close <br /> to the ideal volume to our goal to minimize environmental impact The coliform like bacteria <br /> which are present in this well are themselves contaminants most likely from a leaking sewer but <br /> they arc not great hydrocarbon degraders The hydrocarbon degraders eventually should - <br /> dominate <br /> Suggestions: The bacteriology looks very good and as expected No action or changes <br /> are warranted or recommended Let nature %%ork <br /> James B Hocltgen, M S Microbiology & Public Hcalth <br /> Technical Services Manager <br />
