Bioventing Pilot Test Work Plan for Closed Waste POL Pit, SWMU 14, Fort Rucker, Alabama
Abstract
This work plan presents the scope of a multiphase bioventing pilot test for in situ treatment of fuel-contaminated soils at the closed waste petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL) pit, which has been designated Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 14, located at Fort Rucker, Alabama. The location of SWMU 14 with respect to the Fort is shown on Figure 1.1. The pilot test will be performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) for Fort Rucker and the United States Army Environmental Center (US ABC) through a contract with the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE). The primary objectives of the proposed pilot test are to: (1) Assess the potential for supplying oxygen throughout the contaminated soil interval; (2) Determine the rate at which indigenous microorganisms will degrade fuel when supplied with oxygen-rich soil gas; (3) Evaluate the potential for sustaining these rates of biodegradation until fuel contamination is remediated to concentrations below regulatory standards; and if appropriate, (4) Determine design parameters, such as well spacing and air flow rates, for full-scale bioventing system design.
