1. A method of amending an aquifer comprising the steps of:
mixing a sorbent material with a carrier to form a slurry, said sorbent material having one dimension of at least 1 micron; and
introducing said slurry below the fracture pressure of said aquifer into said aquifer in a dispersed fashion within a pore space of said aquifer to permanently place said sorption material and promote permanent attenuation of contaminants in said aquifer, wherein an average said pore space of said aquifer is between approximately 3 and approximately 10 times a maximum particle size of said sorbent material, whereby said pore spaces of said aquifer are relatively undisturbed and said particle of said sorbent material is placed in a plurality of said pore spaces within the treated portion of said aquifer.
