Corrective Action Plan for the Risk-Based Remediation of the MOGAS Site, Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, South Carolina. Volume 1
Abstract
A comprehensive site investigation addressing soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment contaminated with fuel hydrocarbons at the Motor Gasoline (MOGAS) Storage Area, Myrtle Beach Air Force Base (AFB), South Carolina, was conducted by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES). Field work was conducted to complete the corrective action plan (CAP) presented in this report in support of a risk-based remediation decision for the MOGAS site. Characterization field efforts for this investigation were conducted from January through September 1995. Selected source reduction technologies were field-tested at the MOGAS site from November 1995 to January 1996 to determine the effectiveness of these remedial techniques in treating site-related contamination. The CAP for the MOGAS site follows South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC, 1995) guidance for implementing risk-based corrective actions in the state. The guidance outlines a tiered approach for establishing corrective action requirements at specific sites. The tiered approach is based on an evaluation of potentially completed receptor exposure pathways from contaminated site media under both current and future land use scenarios. One objective of the CAP is to document any potential current risks to human health and the environment (i.e., ecological receptors) due to exposure to chemical contaminants originating from the MOGAS site. The CAP also addresses the potential future risks to human and ecological receptors due to exposure to chemical contaminants over time, accounting for the effects of natural chemical attenuation processes. The overall objective of the CAP is to develop and present a recommended risk-based remedial approach for fuel hydrocarbon contamination in soils, groundwater, and surface water at the MOGAS site that is protective of both human health and the environment.
