Completion of One-Year Bioventing Test, Building 102 and Area D Sites
Abstract
The Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) one-year bioventing test and evaluation projects at the Building 102 and Area D sites have been completed. For each site, Figure 1 provides general site information and Table 1 provides a summary of initial, six-month, and one-year fuel biodegradation rates measured at several monitoring points. Biodegradation rates at both sites have decreased by an order of magnitude over one year of bioventing. This is best explained by an overall reduction in contamination at both sites. Table 2 provides a summary of initial and final soil and soil gas sampling results for total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). Based on results from your sites and 123 other sites currently under operation, bioventing is cost-effectively remediating fuel contamination a reasonable time frame.
