Bioventing Field Initiative at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi

Abstract

This report describes the activities conducted at Keesler AFB, Mississippi, as part of the Bioventing Field initiative for the U.S. Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) and the Environmental Quality Directorate of the Air Force Armstrong Laboratory. This report summarizes the results from the first phase of the study at Keesler AFB. First-phase activities include a soil gas survey, air permeability test, in situ respiration test, and installation of bioventing systems. Each site at the base is discussed individually, followed by a description of site activities at the background area. The purpose of this Bioventing Field initiative is to measure the soil gas permeability and microbial activity at a contaminated site in order to evaluate the potential application of bioventing technology to remediate the site.
