Remedial Action Summary Report, 117th Refueling Wing, Alabama Air National Guard, Birmingham Airport, Birmingham, Alabama.
Abstract
The Installation Restoration Program was initiated by the Air National Guard (ANG) to evaluate potential contamination to the environment caused by past practices at its installations. During the 1988, in preparation for replacing the Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants Facility, soil contamination and free product were encountered. Four separate investigations culminated in a UST removal and soil excavation between Mar 94 and Feb 95. This report documents oversight activities performed during the removal action. Seven 25,000 gal fuel tanks and a 500 gal sludge tank were removed, and 17,500 yds of soil were excavated and bioremediated to below Alabama Department of Environmental Management's (ADEM) corrective action limit of 100 ppm total petroleum hydrocarbon. Soil was excavated below the total depth of the extant wells, which were replaced at the end of the project. No petroleum-related products were found in groundwater following remediation. The report recommends no further actions need be taken at this site, though ADEM requested another groundwater monitoring well and round of samples.
