Completion of One-Year Bioventing Test, Fire Training Area, FT-03
Abstract
The Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) one-year bioventing test and evaluation project at the Fire Training Area, FT-03 has been completed. Figure 1 provides general site information and Table 1 provides a summary of initial, six-month, and one-year fuel biodegradation rates measured at several monitoring points. Biodegradation rates have varied slightly during the one-year pilot test. Some of these changes can be explained by soil temperature variations. Table 2 provides a summary of initial and final soil and soil gas sampling results for total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). Figure 2 is a graphical representation of the soil sampling data. Based on results from your site and 109 other sites currently under operation, bioventing is cost-effectively remediating fuel contamination in a reasonable time frame.
