Initial Remedial Action Plan for an Expanded Bioventing System Facilities 44625D and 44625E

Abstract

This initial remedial action plan (RAP) presents the scope for an expansion of pilot-scale bioventing systems in the vicinity of Facilities 44625D and 44625E at Cape Canaveral Air Station (AS), Florida. The purpose of the expanded bioventing system will be to better achieve full-scale in situ remediation of unsaturated fuel-contaminated soils at the site. The activities related to the installation of the proposed expanded system will be performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) for the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) Technology Transfer Division (ERT) under contract F41624-92-D-8036, 0017. The AS is administered from nearby Patrick Air Force Base (AFB) where the point of contact for this project is based. The primary objectives of the bioventing system upgrade are to: (1) Deliver oxygen to contaminated vadose zone soils throughout the affected portions of the site; (2) Provide additional characterization data for site closure; (3) Continue aerobic in situ remediation of fuel-contaminated soils by injection of atmospheric air into soil; and (4) Sustain aerobic in situ biodegradation until hydrocarbon-contaminated soils within the unsaturated zone are remediated to levels below State of Florida regulatory standards.
