Remediation of contaminated groundwater is becoming increasingly more
important as much of the U.S. population relies on groundwater for their drinking water.
Contaminates such as Chromium, common pollutant at industrial waste sites, and
Hexavalent chromium which is toxic to humans, animals, and plants are major
concerns. Chlorate, another contaminate of concern, has been widely detected in
ground and surface water in the United States and even locally in Henderson Nevada at

range) (Cr(VI)) and …
