Extended Bioventing Testing Results for Site SS-41, Former Building 93 Site (Former Fuel Pumping Number 3), 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 Site SS-41, Former Building 93 (former Fuel Pumping Station No. 3), Charleston Air Force Base (AFB), South Carolina. Soil gas sampling for field and laboratory analyses was performed on 22 June 1998, approximately 1 month following blower shut down. In situ respiration testing was performed from 22 through 26 June 1998 to assess the extent of remediation achieved during approximately 2.5 years of pilot-scale system operation followed by 1 year of expanded-scale air injection bioventing. Also, five groundwater samples were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis as requested by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) during their review of the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) prepared for the site (Parsons ES, 1997a). 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. A copy of this letter has also been forwarded to Major Edward Marchand with the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence Technology Transfer Division (AFCEE/ERT).
