Draft Bioventing Pilot Test Work Plan for Former Building 147, Building 302, and Building 127 at Air Force Plant 42, Palmdale, California
Abstract
This Draft Pilot Test Work Plan presents the scope of in situ bioventing pilot tests for treatment of fuel contaminated soils at three sites at Air Force Plant 42 (AFP 42), Palmdale, Los Angeles County, California. Bioventing pilot tests will be conducted at two of the three sites, with the third site serving as an alternate site in case initial conditions at one of the two primary sites are not appropriate for pilot testing. The bioventing pilot test has three primary objectives. These are: 1) to assess the potential for supplying oxygen throughout the fuel hydrocarbon-contaminated soil zone, 2) to determine the rate at which indigenous microorganisms will degrade the fuel in the soil when stimulated by oxygen-rich soil gas, and 3) to evaluate the potential for sustaining these rates of fuel biodegradation until the contamination is remediated below regulatory standards.
