Operations and Maintenance Manual for Expanded Bioventing System SWMU 55 (Site FT-03) Former Fire Protection Training Area Number 3, Charleston Air Force Base, Charleston, South Carolina

Abstract

In October 1992, Parsons ES (formerly Engineering-Science Inc. ES) installed a bioventing pilot test system at Site FT-O3 to remediate soils impacted by jet fuels, reclaimable mixed fuels, and other flammable wastes that were used during fire training exercises at the site. The pilot-scale system was composed of one 4-inch diameter horizontal vent well (HVW), four permanent soil vapor monitoring points (MPs) and several temporary soil MPs installed in fuel-impacted soils on the north side of the burn pit. A single 1-HP blower was used for the pilot-scale system. The pilot-scale system was operated and monitored by Parsons ES as a pilot study for one year, from November 1992 through November 1993. Following the one-year pilot study, the Base operated the pilot test blower system for another 3.5 years.
