At a trichloroethylene (TCE)-contaminated site in Chikura, Chiba, Japan, TCE had spread over to the first and second aquifers over years. After 8 years of pumping and treatment, finally derivative of TCE, cis-dichloroethylene (c-DCE) remained only in the second aquifer. In this study, feasibility of a low cost in situ bioremediation utilizing groundwater of the third aquifer, which contained natural dissolved methane possibly derived from natural gas field nearby, to stimulate methane-oxidizing bacteria was examined. In vitro experiment showed that a mixture of the groundwater from the second and third aquifers stimulated a growth of methane oxidizing bacteria and enhanced c-DCE degradation. The groundwater of the third aquifer was introduced into the second aquifer in situ. The population of methanotrophs with high V(max) and K(m) for methane uptake increased, resulting in successful degradation of c-DCE at a monitoring well 2m downgradient of the injection well.
