SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This patent application claims a method of 
manufacturing a remediation material by providing a biogentic material 
as a substrate, preparing the surface of the substrate for a chemical 
reaction, and performing template-driven surface derivitization on the 
surface of the substrate to provide a reactive surface of the substrate 
for sorption of chemical species or sorption and degradation of 
chemical species. The remediation material may be placed into contact 
with surface water, ground water, soil, or sediment by at least one 
permeable reactive barrier, direct introduction of the material into 
soil or sediment, to remove contaminants from the surface water, ground 
water, soil, or sediment.
