Bioventing Test Work Plan for Aboveground Treatment of Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soils at Fire Protection Training Area, Whiteman AFB, Missouri

Abstract

This test work plan presents the scope of an above-ground bioventing pilot test for treatment of fuel contaminated soils from Tank 141 at Whiteman Air Force Base. The above ground bioventing pilot test will be performed at Installation Restoration Program (IRP) Site 2, Fire Protection Training Are% The pilot test has three primary objectives: 1) to assess the potential for supplying oxygen throughout the contaminated soil, 2) to determine the rate at which indigenous microorganisms will degrade fuel when stimulated by oxygen rich soil gas, and 3) to evaluate the potential for sustaining these rates of biodegradation until fuel contamination is remediated below regulatory standards.
