Abstract
A method of decontaminating an impoundment in which waste-water and sludge from a pressure wood treating plant or other industry is stored by constructing a treatment unit in a portion of the lagoon or impoundment, pumping clean water into the treatment unit, adding the sludge to the treatment unit, adding a mixture of mutant bacteria, nutrients, and emulsifiers to the treatment unit, continuously aerating the mixture in the treatment unit, and analyzing samples taken from the treatment unit at regular intervals until the waster water and sludge are substantially free of detectable hazardous contituents.
