Corrective Action Study to Evaluate Intrinsic Remediation for the POL Bulk Fuel Storage Area, Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Abstract
This report presents the results of a corrective action study performed at the POL Bulk Fuel Storage Area, Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, South Carolina to evaluate the use of intrinsic remediation with long-term monitoring (LTM) as a remedial option for dissolved benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) contamination in the shallow groundwater. The report was produced following the guidance provided in the "Technical Protocol for Implementing Intrinsic Remediation with Long-Term Monitoring for Natural Attenuation of Fuel Contamination Dissolved in Groundwater." In addition to dissolved BTEX in the groundwater, both mobile and residual light nonaqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL) is present within the soil and at the water table. This study focused on the impact of LNAPL and dissolved BTEX on the shallow groundwater system at the site. Site history and the results of soil and groundwater investigations conducted previously are also summarized in this report. Geochemical evidence is used to support the occurrence of natural attenuation, with contaminant fate and transport predicted using the Bioplume II numerical model. The report concludes that engineered remedial alternatives (e.g., bioslurping) will be required to supplement the beneficial effects of natural attenuation.
