Soil Vapor Extraction at the Jet Engine Buildup Shop - Revision B

Abstract

The Air Force intends to perform removal actions of contaminated surface and subsurface soil at Loring Air Force Base (AFB) in Limestone, Maine. These removal actions will comply with a Federal Facilities Agreement between Region I U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP), and the U.S. Air Force signed on January 30, 1991. Bechtel Environmental, Inc. (BEl) has been contracted by the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) as the removal action contractor for Loring AFB under Prime Contract No. F41624-94-D-8072. This startup report documents the construction and startup (first month of operation) of a Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) system at the Jet Engine Buildup Shop (JEBS). The SVE system will provide subsurface remediation for the area contaminated with trichloroethene (TCE). The system includes blower/vacuum unit, SVE wells, monitoring points (MPs), and piping.
