The subject came up a couple of weeks ago and as usual there were pros
and cons. Natural Attenuation has been boldly presented in the NCP by
the USEPA. CERCLA requires the EPA to address NO ACTION as one of the
alternatives in a Superfund ROD. Listed below are synonyms for NO ACTION
which were used in the early days of the push to use and sell this
"INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY". The other terms are:

NATURAL ATTENUATION,        MONITORED NATURAL ATTENUATION,

ENHANCED NATURAL ATTENUATION,        BIO-EVAPOTRANSPIRATION,

DESTRUCTIVE ATTENUATION,        PASSIVE DEGRADATION,

PASSIVE REMEDIATION,        INTRINSIC REMEDIATION,        DISPERSION,

DILUTION,        PASSIVE BIO-REMEDIATION,        INTRINSIC
BIO-REMEDIATION,

INDIGENOUS BIO-REMEDIATION,        AEROBIC BIO-DEGRADATION,

BIO-ATTENUATION,        ANAEROBIC BIO-DEGRADATION,        COMETABOLISM,

METHANOGENESIS,        MOALSSES REMEDIATION,        TREEDIATION,

PHYTO-REMEDIATION,        PHYTO-EXTRACTION,        ABIOTIC OXIDATION,

CONTINUED MONITORING,        LONG-TERM MONITORING,

ECONOMIC ENGINEERING,        ECONOMIC FRIENDLY COMPLIANCE,

ZERO ECONOMIC RISK,        MOLECULAR EXPEDIENCE,

BIO-PROCRASTINATION,        HALORESPIRATION,

REDUCTIVE DECHLORINATION,        WINK AND WALK.

Don't laugh too hard - you may fall off your chair the way I did.
