Work Plan for Expanded Bioventing System Aircraft Ground Equipment (AGE) Maintenance Area IRP Site 11
Abstract
This Work Plan presents the scope for an expanded bioventing system for in situ treatment of fuel-contaminated soils at the Aircraft Ground Equipment (AGE) Maintenance Area at Beale Air Force Base (AFB), Yuba County, California. The AGE Maintenance Area has been designated as Installation Restoration Program (IRP) Site 11. Beale AFB is located approximately 10 miles east of Marysville and 130 miles northeast of San Francisco (Figure 1.1). 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 F41624-92-D-8036, Delivery Order 0017. The primary objectives of the system upgrade are: (1) To supply oxygen throughout the remaining contaminated soil volume; (2) To continue in situ remediation of fuel-contaminated soils by aerobic biodegradation; and (3) To sustain in situ biodegradation until fuel-contaminated soils within the unsaturated zone are remediated to regulatory-approved standards. Additional background information on the development and recent success of the bioventing technology is found in the document entitled "Test Plan and Technical Protocol for a Field Treatability Test for Bioventing" (Hinchee et al 1992). This protocol document will also serve as the primary reference for well designs and detailed procedures which will be used during site testing and sampling.
