Remedial Action Plan for the Expanded Bioventing System Eglin Main Base Old Fire Training Area
Abstract
This remedial action plan (RAP) presents the scope for an expanded bioventing system for in situ treatment of fuel-contaminated soils at the Eglin Main Base Old Fire Training Area (old Eglin FTA) at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), Florida. This site is also identified as Installation Restoration Program (IRP) Site FT-28. The proposed expanded system activities will be performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) formerly Engineering-Science, Inc. (ES) for the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) Technology Transfer Division (ERT) under Contract No. F41624-92-D-8036, Delivery Order No. 0017. The primary objectives of the bioventing system upgrade are to: (1) Provide aerobic in situ remediation of fuel-contaminated soils by injection of atmospheric air into soil; (2) Sustain aerobic in situ biodegradation until hydrocarbon- contaminated soils within the unsaturated zone are remediated to below regulatory approved standards; and (3) Provide additional site characterization data for closure. An extended bioventing pilot test was performed at the old Eglin FTA by Parsons ES from July 1994 through July 1995 to determine if in situ bioventing would be a feasible cleanup technology for the fuel-contaminated soils within the unsaturated zone. A radius of oxygen influence of at least 40 feet was observed at the site. Further details on the pilot test procedures and results can be found in the Interim Pilot Test Results Report (ES, 1994).
