Treatability Study in Support of Remediation by Natural Attenuation for Groundwater at Site ST-24, Columbus Air Force Base, Columbus, Mississippi

Abstract

This report presents the results of a treatability study (TS) performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) at Site ST-24, Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi, to evaluate remediation by natural attenuation (RNA) of dissolved fuel hydrocarbons in groundwater. The TS focused on the fate and transport of dissolved benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) in the shallow groundwater at Site ST-24. No mobile light, non-aqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL) or residual LNAPL above the water table was observed at Site ST-24. Samples also were analyzed for dissolved chlorinated solvents; however, the presence of dissolved chlorinated solvents, detected during a previous sampling event, was not confirmed. The site history and the results of the soil and groundwater investigations conducted previously also are summarized in this report.
