Some examples of bioremediation related technologies are phytoremediation, bioventing, bioattenuation, biosparging, composting (biopiles and windrows), and landfarming. Other remediation techniques include thermal desorption, vitrification, air stripping, bioleaching, rhizofiltration, and soil washing. Biological treatment, bioremediation, is a ...
The word significant is crucial here as the definition can vary 'Significant' must be defined; The most frequent method used here is use of the Leopold matrix; The matrix is a tool used in the systematic examination of potential interactions; Example: in a windfarm development a significant impact may be collisions with birds; Mitigation
