Extended Bioventing Testing Results for SWMU 55 (IRP Site FT-03), Charleston AFB, South Carolina

Abstract

This letter presents the results of the bioventing system monitoring performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) during June 1998 at Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 55 (Former Fire Protection Training Area No. 3, Installation Restoration Program IRP site FT-03), Charleston Air Force Base (AFB), South Carolina. Soil gas sampling for field and laboratory analyses was performed on 23 June 1998, approximately 1 month following blower shut down. In situ respiration testing was performed from 23 through 27 June 1998 to assess the extent of remediation achieved during approximately 4.5 years of pilot- scale system operation and 1 year of expanded-scale bioventing system operation. The purposes of this letter are to summarize site and bioventing activities to date, present the results of the June 1998 system monitoring event, compare these results with previous pilot testing and monitoring results, and to recommend future activities for the site based on these findings.
