Evaluate the drafted changes
Reading the lead, I know the major topics that the article is going to cover, it is not overly detailed and you have incorporated your new information into it very nicely. You have included everything that you proposed in the lead, maybe include the topic of heavy metals in your introduction. This will help people that are looking for that information save time, as they won't have to read the entire article to see if you mentioned it or not.

Article is very clear and easy to understand. Doesn't get too wordy or overdetailed. All the In-Situ/Ex-Situ techniques are well worded and simple, personally not knowing much about this topic I learned something and it never got confusing whilst reading.

All content that is added is relevant, clear and well organized. Did not find any grammatical or spelling errors. Article is neutral, no claims or viewpoints found that would make it biased.

The content is well balanced throughout the article, you touch on most ideas and concepts equally. Nothing seems to be missing, everything that is in your summary was acknowledged.

Structure is very well done. The order of which you talked about the topics makes sense. The talk page discusses a potential layout for this article. Check to see if you agree with the layout, if not suggest a different kind of layout that you think would be easier to follow. Your draft is very nicely organized and layout is great, so don't be shy to reorganize if you feel it is needed.

Good amount of strong sources! Good variety of authors, content you have written is accurate with what authors wrote. Just a couple with no links so I have suggested potential citations, this will help readers find the articles you referenced much easier. Please check that I found the correct article you used for each suggested citation.

Ideas that you could add:

The talk page mentions how Bioremediation is good for oil spills in the ocean, wetlands etc. You could potentially talk about certain situations where this method is more preferred compared to others.

This article has no pictures, so if you were to add photos or diagrams with captions explaining them, I think that would really help strengthen the article.

Another suggestion would be to talk about the history of bioremediation, when was it first invented/discovered, where did this method originate. You could suggest it in the talk page and see if its worth adding.

Overall, this draft is exceptionally well written.
