Extended Bioventing Testing Results for Closed Waste POL Pit, SWMU 14, Fort Rucker, AL

Abstract

Ibis letter presents the results of the bioventing system monitoring performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) in July 1997 at the Closed Waste Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants (POL) Pit, Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) 14, at Fort Rucker, Alabama. Soil gas samples were collected and in situ respiration testing was performed by Parsons ES between 13 and 21 July 1997 to assess the extent of remediation completed during approximately 1 year of air injection bioventing. Also, additional soil gas monitoring point (MP) screens were installed and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in perched groundwater were measured during the July 1997 field effort. The purpose of this letter is to summarize site and bioventing activities to date, present the results of the 1-year system monitoring event and compare them with the results of the initial pilot testing event, and to recommend future remediation activities for the site based on these findings.
