Report on Treatability Test of Groundwater by Ultraviolet (UV)/Oxidation, Umatilla Depot Activity, Hermiston, Oregon.

Abstract

The Report on the Treatability Test of Groundwater by Ultraviolet (UV)/Oxidation has been prepared for the U.S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC), to document the results of the treatability test performed at Umatilla Depot Activity (UMDA), Hermiston, Oregon, during the Site 4 (Explosive Washout Lagoons) pumping tests. It has been prepared for the USAEC under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Program, and is part of the Remedial Investigation/Feasibilty Study (RI/FS) activities being performed at UMDA. The objective of the treatability test was to gather data to evaluate whether UV/ozone is a feasible alternative for effectively removing explosives from groundwater at Site 4. The report presents discussions on the treatment technology, field setup, sampling/analyses, results, and useability. The results indicate that most explosives were effectively treated by UV/ozone, but that I ,3,5-trinitrobenzene (1 ,3,5-TNB) was difficult to treat. Projected costs for a full-scale treatment system are provided. In addition, an evaluation of a field method for analyzing explosives in groundwater-which was performed in conjunction with the treatability test-is presented.
