Abstract

Monitored natural recovery (MNR) of contaminated sediments is a remedial approach that relies on natural physical, chemical, and biological processes to isolate, destroy, or otherwise reduce the bioavailability or toxicity of contaminants (USEPA, 2005a; NRC, 1997). Like other sediment remedies, MNR typically includes contaminant source control, site investigation, development of a conceptual site model (CSM), and long-term monitoring. Unlike other remedies, MNR does not include a construction phase; however, it is not a “no-action” approach. If monitoring indicates that recovery is not proceeding as predicted, site managers may implement enhanced MNR (EMNR, discussed later in this chapter), combine MNR with other remedies such as capping, removal, or institutional controls, consider alternate remedies, or adjust expectations of MNR recovery (Magar et al., 2009).
