AB  - A part of the Balkan ultramafic massif is situated in western Serbia and belongs to a mountain range with several prominent peaks, including Mt. Tara, Mt. Zlatibor, and Mt. Zlatar. The porosity of ultramafic rocks is generally very low, such that they are classified as nearly or completely waterless rocks. However, due to tectonic activity and exogenic processes over geologic time, some ultramafic rocks exhibit a certain level of secondary fracture porosity. Hydraulically interconnected fractures can form aquifers of the fractured type, such as the one found in Gruda on Mt. Zlatibor. On this location, the quality parameters of the groundwater in the fractured aquifer, drained via a spring called Bijela eesma, prompted detailed multidisciplinary investigations aimed at defining the elements of the aquifer for commercial water bottling purposes. Given that the investigations were comprehensive, the results allowed high-quality interpretation of the hydrogeologic conditions and provided the background for developing a hydrodynamic model of the fractured hydrogeologic system in the ultramafic rocks at Gruda. Modfiow software was used for modeling. This software is primarily intended for intergranular aquifers, but no programs are available for fractured aquifers in hard rocks with pronounced discontinuities. Modeling of the fractured aquifer in the ultramafic rocks at Gruda provided the following information: size of active infiltration surface, hydraulic conductivity of the porous medium, rate of recharge, residence time of a drop of groundwater from entry to exit, graphical representation of streamlines, and the like. Despite these difficulties, the results are satisfactory. The values of the analyzed parameters are believed to be objective and indicate a certain possibility of using Modflow in hydrodynamic modeling and solving hydrogeologic problems that involve hard rocks and fractured porosity. In practice, this is especially important for sanitary protection zoning of groundwater sources that rely on fractured aquifers.

AB  - The role of natural attenuation processes in groundwater contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons is of intense scientific and practical interest. This study provides insight into the biodegradation effects in groundwater at a site contaminated by kerosene (jet fuel) in 1993 (Vitanovac, Serbia). Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), hydrochemical indicators (O-2 , NO3-, Mn, Fe, SO42-, HCO3- ), delta C-13 of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and other parameters were measured to demonstrate biodegradation effects in groundwater at the contaminated site. Due to different biodegradation mechanisms, the zone of the lowest concentrations of electron acceptors and the zone of the highest concentrations of metabolic products of biodegradation overlap. Based on the analysis of redox-sensitive compounds in groundwater samples, redox processes ranged from strictly anoxic (methanogenesis) to oxic (oxygen reduction) within a short distance. The dependence of groundwater redox conditions on the distance from the source of contamination was observed. delta C-13 values of DIC ranged from -15.83 to -2.75 parts per thousand, and the most positive values correspond to the zone under anaerobic and methanogenic conditions. Overall, results obtained provide clear evidence on the effects of natural attenuation processes-the activity of biodegradation mechanisms in field conditions.

AB  - The objective of this study was to stimulate microbial biodegradation of petroleum pollution in groundwater and to analyze changes in the abundance and distribution of organic compounds detectable in petroleum. Bioremediation was conducted in a closed bipolar system, by bioaugmentation with consortia of hydrocarbon degrading microorganisms (HD) and biostimulation with nutrients. Comprehensive twodimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC X GC-MS) was used to visualize all fractions simultaneously. During the study, the content of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) in groundwater decreased by 92.7% of the initial level, and the average rate of biodegradation was 0.1 mg/L per day. Increased numbers of HD were observed and the dominant genera were Pseudomonas, Rhodococcus, Achromobacter, Bacillus, and Micromonospora. In the first 30 days of bioremediation, there was no significant biodegradation of n-alkanes and petroleum biomarkers - isoprenoids such as pristane and phytane, and polycyclic-saturated hydrocarbons such as terpanes and steranes. However, after 60 days of bioremediation, more than 95% of n-alkanes, terpanes and steranes were biodegraded. Phenanthrene and its methyl-,dimethyl-, and trimethyl-isomers were biodegraded and reduced by more than 99% of their initial levels. However, their decomposition had clearly commenced after just 30 days. This is a somewhat surprising result since it follows that the phenanthrenes were more susceptible to biodegradation than the n-alkanes and isoprenoids. Depending on the microbial community used for bioaugmentation, biodegradation of phenanthrene can precede biodegradation of saturated hydrocarbons.

AB  - This study provides insight into the enhanced in situ bioremediation applied for remediation of groundwater contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons. Activities prior to the application of this remediation approach included removal of the source of groundwater contamination-an underground storage tank and contaminated sediments-from the unsaturated zone. The hydraulic feasibility of this remediation approach was proved by hydraulic conductivity characterization of the site. Enhanced in situ bioremediation was performed by a combination of biostimulation and bioaugmentation within the closed bipolar system (one extraction and two injection wells). Biostimulation was conducted by addition of nutrients, and stimulation of oxidation processes by injection of H2O2, into the aquifer. Bioaugmentation/re-inoculation was achieved by injection of a zymogenous consortium of hydrocarbon degrading microorganisms isolated from the contaminated groundwater. The average extraction capacity was 0.5 l/s, with an average injection capacity of 0.25 l/s per well. The efficiency of the remediation approach was measured by changes in the content of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), total chemoorganoheterotrophic (TC) and hydrocarbon degrading (HD) microorganisms. After biostimulation and bioaugmentation, the number of TC and HD microorganisms started to increase. This was followed by a decrease of TPH concentration in the groundwater from an initial 6.8-0.5 mg/l at the end of the bioremediation. The applied remediation approach was highly efficient and very effective in reducing TPH to acceptable levels. Together, these facts provide strong evidence of its potential for remediation of groundwater contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons.

AB  - Ultramafic rocks are generally taken to be 'waterless' or bearing little water. The mountain Zlatibor, western Serbia, largely built of Upper Jurassic ultramafics, is without perennial springs. However, in Gruda, an area on the NE side of Zlatibor, there are two perennial ascending springs with uniform discharge: Bijela esma and Hajduko Vrelo. The water from both springs is naturally mildly alkaline (pH similar to 8.4), of Mg-HCO3 type, and temperature similar to 11 A degrees C. The springs have been investigated with respect to derivation, dynamics and chemistry with a view to commercial use of the water. The results indicate zones of rocks fractured during tectonic events and/or under lithostatic pressure. Deep ultramafic rocks, equivalent to abyssal peridotites (the least depleted rocks of the upper mantle, rich in magnesium), include fractured aquifers characterized by heterogeneity and anisotropy. Groundwater arriving at the land surface derives from atmospheric precipitation, and its quality is converted through the process of serpentine acid hydrolysis into mildly alkaline Mg-HCO3 water. Both quantity and quality of water from these springs are stable and are unaffected by atmospheric precipitation or other external influences. A conceptual model of the structure, hydrogeological character of the aquifer, and the mechanism of groundwater derivation is developed for both springs.
