Treatability Study in Support of Intrinsic Remediation for the Hangar 10 Site. Elmendorf Air Force Base, Anchorage, Alaska

Abstract

This report presents the results of a treatability study (TS) performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska to evaluate the use of intrinsic remediation (natural attenuation) with long-term monitoring (LTM) as a remedial option for dissolved benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) contamination in the shallow saturated zone in the vicinity of Hangar 10. Soil and ground water contamination is known to occur at the site, with contamination being present in the dissolved and gaseous phases and as residual light nonaqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL) within the aquifer matrix. There is no evidence of mobile LNAPL (free product) at this site. This study focused on the impact of dissolved BTEX on the shallow ground water system at the site. Site history and the results of soil and ground wate investigations conducted previously are also summarized in this report.
