Interim Bioventing Pilot Test Results Report for Building 8200, Fort Carson, Colorado
Abstract
An initial bioventing pilot test was performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) at Building 8200 at Fort Carson, Colorado during the period from July 15 through August 7, 1996. The proposed scope of work for this site was performed for Fort Carson, the US Army Environmental Center (USAEC), and the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) Technology Transfer Division (ERT) under AFCEE contract F41624-92-D-8036, Order 0017. The purpose of this report is to describe the results of the initial pilot test at Building 8200 and to make recommendations for extended testing and full-scale system installation to determine the long-term impact of bioventing on site contaminants. Descriptions of the history, geology, and contamination at Building 8200 are presented in the bioventing pilot test work plan (Parsons ES, 1996). The sources of vadose zone soil contamination at this site were four former 20,000-gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) that were used to store gasoline and diesel fuel Rust Environmental & Infrastructure (RUST), 1994. The tanks were removed by Parker Excavating during November 1996 (Cloonan, 1996a). Full-scale bioventing system installation is expected to occur in early 1997.
