Confirmation Sampling and Analysis Report POL Yard, Sites SS-06 and ST-40, Wurtsmith AFB, Michigan

Abstract

This confirmation sampling and analysis report for the Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants (POL) Yard, Sites SS-06 and ST-40, at Wurtsmith Air Force Base (AFB), Michigan, has been prepared by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) for submittal to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ); the United States (US) Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE), Brooks AFB, Texas; and the Air Force Base Conversion Agency/OL-T (AFBCA), Oscoda, Michigan. MDEQ provides oversight of underground storage tank (UST) work at Wurtsmith AFB. This report has been prepared as part of the AFCEE Extended Bioventing Project (Contract F41624-92-8036, Delivery Order 17). Soil sampling for laboratory analysis was conducted at the Sites by Parsons ES in October 1998 in accordance with the MDEQ- and US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)-approved Confirmation Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) for Sites SS-06 and ST-40 (included as Appendix A of this report). The objective of the confirmation soil sampling and analysis was to determine if soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons had been sufficiently remediated following 2 years of expanded-scale bioventing, and to determine whether a no-further-response-action-planned (NFRAP) decision could be pursued, or additional soil remediation or other actions were required. This report summarizes field activities, field observations, and data collected during the October 1998 sampling event, and evaluates the reduction of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in soil as a result of 2 years of bioventing system operation. The purpose of this report is to document the effectiveness of remediation of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons; to compare the recently collected soil analytical results to MDEQ risk-based generic cleanup criteria; and make recommendations based on these results.
