    This document outlines a debate case proposing the use of bioremediation to more efficiently clean up underground storage tank (UST) sites contaminated by leaks. It defines bioremediation and lists the goals of cleaner environmental protection and reducing the UST cleanup backlog. The case puts forth two mandates: requiring the use of bioremediation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act for UST cleanups, and increasing funding for the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund. The advantages are cited as efficiently cleaned UST sites and cleaner water. Potential cross-examination questions and counterarguments challenging increased taxes or constitutionality are also included.

    Bioremediation Flow
    Teams running case:
    Harrill/Rowlett

    Definitions:
    Bioremediation: Use of living organisms to clean up spills in soil, water, or wastewater.
    Goal: More Efficient Clean-up of Environment
    Criteria: Increased Protection of the Environment
    Inherency: LUST Funding Backlog
    -101,000 UST Sites Have Yet to be Cleaned
    Mandate 1: Require RCRA to Use Bioremediation For Cleaning USTs
    Mandate 2: Increase LUST Funding
    Advantage 1: UST Leaks Cleaned Efficiently
    Advantage 2: Cleaner Water
    Cross-Examination:
    -How new is this technology?
    -How much will it cost to clean one UST site using bioremediation?
    -How many jobs will be created or lost?
    -Why not just repair the USTs?
    Arguments:
    -DA: Tax Increase – Increasing taxes is the most common method the government uses to make up
    for backlog in any projects funding.
    -DA: Unconstitutional – Violates the constitution(I forget how).
    -If this is such a good idea, why does Aff need to force this plan on us? Sure they have plan advocates
    such as the EPA, but do they endorse the use of bioremediation on every single spill?
    -Significance Topicality(Caution: Most people in region 6 have no idea what this is, even though it's
    so basic)
