Bioventing Field Initiative at Newark Air Force Base, Ohio

Abstract

This report describes the activities conducted at three sites at Newark Air Force Base (AFB), Ohio, as part of the Bioventing Field Initiative for the U.S. Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) and the Environmental Quality Directorate of the Air Force Armstrong Laboratory. This report summarizes the results from the first phase of the study, which includes a soil gas survey, air permeability test, in situ respiration test, and installation of bioventing systems. The specific objectives of this task are described in the following section. The test sites at the base are discussed individually, followed by a description of site activities at the background area. The purpose of these field test methods is to measure the soil gas permeability and microbial activity at three contaminated sites and to evaluate the potential application of the bioventing technology to remediate the sites.
