Abstract: Bioremediation technology is being evaluated for use on the
Kwajalein Atoll, which is located in the Republic of the Marshall
Islands. The study was undertaken by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(ORNL)

on behalf of the US Army Kwajalein Atoll

(USAKA).

During

February of 1991, a team from ORNL and The University of Tennessee (UT)
visited the USAKA. In addition to making on-site observations regarding

microbial abundance and distribution of petroleum contaminants,

they

brought back to Oak Ridge various soil and water samples for detailed
analyses. This report documents the biological studies of these samples
and presents observations made during the period from February to April
of 1991 by investigators at ORNL, UT, and the Oak Ridge Associated
Universities.
