Completion of One Year Bioventing Tests: Area H; Area K; and Waikakalaua Fuel Storage Annex

Abstract

The Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) one-year bioventing test and evaluation projects at the above sites have been completed. 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. 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 zylenes (BTEX). Based on results from your site and 120 other sites currently under operation, bioventing is cost-effectively remediating fuel contamination in a reasonable time frame. We recommend its application in areas within the above sites where contamination is present in vadose zone soils and at other sites on your installation using the criteria in the AFCEE Test Plan and Technical Protocol for a Field Treatability Test for Bioventing, May 1992, including Addendum One, February 1994. These are found in the "Tool Box" recently sent to your base.
