note = "Funding Information: the Utica Gas and Electric Company, were disposed of at a 70 acre parcel (about 280 km2) known as Harbor Point. As a result, soils and leachates at Harbor Point are contaminated with typical coal gasification materials such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs), phenols, coal tars and oils, purifier waste containing cyanides and sulfates, ash, and other debris. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) as a key component in an on-site remediation program for the Harbor Point site. The laboratory-scale SBR was to be integrated into an overall test system which included the biological degradation of hazardous organics found in leachates and soils and the production of “specialized bacteria” in the SBR for eventual application to the soils. This unique approach to soil decontamination extends the innovative features of the SBR that were described by the United States Environmental Protection Agency [ 1,2], the National Science Foundation [3], and the U.S. Congressional Office of Technology Assessment [ 41.",
