Treatability Study in Support of Intrinsic Remediation for Pumphouse 75 (Site 57) at MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa, Florida

Abstract

This report presents the results of an intrinsic remediation treatability study (TS) performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) at Pumphouse 75, MacDill Air Force Base (AFB, the Base), Tampa, Florida to evaluate the use of intrinsic remediation (natural attenuation) with long-term monitoring (LTM) as a remedial option for dissolved benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) contamination in the shallow saturated zone. Soil and groundwater contamination is documented for the site, with contamination being present in the aqueous (i.e., 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 groundwater system at and downgradient from the site. Site history and the results of soil, groundwater, and surface water investigations conducted previously also are summarized in this report.
