Anyone have any information on biodegradability of nitrile?

None whatsoever but one can assume that, if the NBR was properly compounded with antioxidants in the first place, it will stick around for many decades. You could expect to release ACN monomer (very toxic) to the environment when it does start to biodegrade.
