Final Intrinsic Remediation Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis for the FT-002 Site, Plattsburg Air Force Base, New York
Abstract
This report presents the results of an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) at Plattsburgh Air Force Base, New York, to evaluate if naturally occurring attenuation mechanisms would be sufficient to reduce dissolved fuel-related compounds in shallow ground water at and migrating from the former Fire Training Area (Site FT-002) to levels that meet federal- and state-specified ground water protection standards. Several site investigations completed at Site FT-002 under the Department of Defense (DOD) Installation Restoration Program (IRP) indicate that the soil and ground water associated with and downgradient of the former fire training area is contaminated with JP-4-related compounds and chlorinated solvents. Significant light nonaqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) still exists at the site, which acts as a continuing source of contamination mass to the ground water. The main emphasis of the work described herein was to quantitatively investigate the fate and transport of dissolved benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX) in the shallow ground water at the site. The fate and transport of dissolved chlorinated solvents (i.e., trichloroethene (TCE), cis- and trans-dichloroethene (DCE), and vinyl chloride) in shallow ground water was qualitatively considered to evaluate whether remedial technologies that may be appropriate for the BTEX compounds would also be effective on these other site-related contaminants
