Environmental Restoration Program - Stage 2 - Surface Bioventing Treatability Study Work Plan
Abstract
Beale AFB is located in Yuba County, California, approximately 10 miles east of Marysville and 130 miles northeast of San Francisco. Figures 1 and 2 show the base location map and geography. Beale AFB has accumulated fuel hydrocarbon contaminated soil from underground storage tank removal operations that requires remediation. Engineering- Science, Inc. (ES) has been retained by the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) to complete a one-year treatability study on some of this soil at Beale AFB using surface bioventing technology. The first phase of the treatability study will be to complete a short duration pilot test. Based on the pilot test results, a full-scale design will be completed and the soil treatment facility will be operated for one year. This work plan describes both the pilot test and the full-scale treatability study procedures. The treatment process is designed only to treat soils contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons (THP). Precautions should be taken by base personnel to prevent soils contaminated with chlorinated organics, metals, or other contaminants from entering the hydrocarbon soil treatment area.
