Field Investigation and Soil Sampling Results Former Building 147, Building 302, and Building 127 at Air Force Plant 42, Palmdale, California
Abstract
Bioventing pilot tests were planned at Air Force Plant 42 (AFP 42) in Palmdale, Los Angeles County, California at two sites (Former Building 147 and Building 302) with a third site (Building 127) serving as an alternate. Drilling and soil sampling activities were performed at AFP 42 as the first stage of the bioventing pilot tests. However, significant hydrocarbon contamination was not detected at any of the three sites and no pilot tests were performed. No vent wells (VWs), vapor monitoring points (VMPs), or blower units were installed. The purpose of this letter report is to describe the results of drilling and soil sampling activities. Site histories, previously known contamination distributions and concentrations, and geologic/hydrogeologic profiles are documented in the Draft Bioventing Pilot Test Work Plan. Background information on the development and recent success of the bioventing technology is found in the document entitled "Test Plan and Technical Protocol for a Field Treatability Test for Bioventing" referenced in the Draft Bioventing Pilot Test Work Plan.
