  • Natural attenuation means a variety of physical, chemical or biological processes that, under favorable conditions, act without hu- man intervention to reduce the mass, toxicity, mobility, volume, or concentration of hazardous substances in the environment. These in situ processes include: Natural biodegradation; dispersion; dilution; sorption; volatilization; and, chemical or biological stabilization, transformation, or destruction of hazardous substances. See WAC 173-340-370(7) for a description of the expected role of natural at- tenuation in site cleanup. A cleanup action that includes natural at- tenuation and conforms to the expectation in WAC 173-340-370(7) can be considered an active remedial measure.
