PART II: Draft Interim Pilot Test Results Report for Sites 27, 28, and 44, Nellis AFB,Nevada

Abstract

This work plan presents the scope of multiphase bioventing pilot tests for in situ treatment of fuel-contaminated soils at Sites 27, 28, and 44 at Nellis Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada. The pilot tests will be performed by Engineering-Science, Inc. (ES). The three primary objectives of the proposed pilot tests are: 1) to assess the potential for supplying oxygen throughout the contaminated soil interval, 2) to determine the rate at which indigenous microorganisms will degrade fuel when supplied with oxygen-rich soil gas, and 3) to evaluate the potential for sustaining these rates of biodegradation until fuel contamination is remediated to concentrations below regulatory standards.
