Intrinsic Remediation Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis for Site ST41. Draft

Abstract

This report presents the results of an engineering evaluation/cost analysis (EE/CA) performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) at Elmendorf Air Force Base Alaska to evaluate the use of intrinsic remediation (natural attenuation) with long-term monitoring (LTM) as a remedial option for dissolved benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) contamination in the shallow saturated zone in the vicinity of Site ST41 (locally known as Four Million Gallon Hill). For this report, Site ST4l was studied only in the vicinity of the BTEX plume emanating from Tank 601. Soil and ground water contamination is known to occur at the site, with contamination being present in the dissolved and gaseous phases and as residual light nonaqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL) within the aquifer matrix. There is also evidence of mobile LNAPL (free product) at this site. This study focused on the impact of dissolved BTEX on the shallow ground water system at the site. Site history and the results of soil and ground water investigations conducted previously are also summarized in this report.
