Environmental Restoration

Abstract

PFAS Strategic Projects FY22 to Address Navy's Challenges with PFAS Site Management Expeditionary Warfare Center and Naval Facilities Engineering Command HQ, in consultation with the Environmental Restoration Managers, have developed eight (8) projects that are important for the Navy's ability to address the challenges related to PFAS site investigations and treatments. PFAS behavior in the environment is still not well understood and treating PFAS in soil and groundwater remains challenging because the carbon-fluorine bonds in these compounds are extremely difficult to break. The goal of this effort is to further the understanding of PFAS behavior in the environment at Navy sites, and to develop and demonstrate sampling tools, characterization methods, and promising treatment or destruction technologies for PFAS. The eight projects are: 1. PFAS source zone characterization and limited sampling 2. PFAS groundwater plume modeling and risk evaluation guidance 3. Design and demonstration of a passive flux meter for PFAS remedial investigation 4. Characterizing PFAS sources to surface water receptors at IR sites 5. Innovative destructive hydrothermal technologies for PFAS 6. Fractionation of PFAS-impacted groundwater 7. Injection and infiltration of stabilizers for in-situ sequestration of PFAS sources 8. Assessment of PFAS mass transfer via sources leaching into soil and groundwater
