NA of TPH and enhanced bioremediation of TCE were observed within a TPH plume.
TPH can serve as a primary substrate and enhance the reductive dechlorination of TCE.
Natural attenuation could effectively contain the TPH plume and cause TPH removal.
Substrate is the main limiting factor for the occurrence of TCE dechlorination.
Dehalococcoides can be used as a biomarker for the feasibility of TCE dechlorination.
