A method of manufacturing a remediation material uses a biogenic material as a substrate and involves preparing the surface of the substrate to enable a chemical reaction, and performing template-driven surface derivatization on the substrate to provide a net positive charge on the substrate. The remediation material may be placed into contact with surface water, ground water, soil, or sediment by at least one of a permeable reactive barrier, direct well injection, or direct introduction of the remediation material into soil or sediment, to remove contaminants from the surface water, ground water, soil, or sediment.

A distributed monitoring and control system includes a plurality of nodes forming a redundant communication network. Each of the nodes includes a processor, a memory and a transceiver. At least one of the nodes includes a sensor for acquiring information. At least one of the nodes includes an actuator. At least one of the processors is programmed with a control algorithm to receive information acquired from the sensors, calculate a control command and communicate the control command to the actuators for execution.
