Remedial Action Plan for Vadose Zone Soils at Building 8200, Fort Carson, Colorado
Abstract
This remedial action plan (RAP) presents the scope for an expansion of the pilot-scale bioventing system in the vicinity of Building 8200 at Fort Carson, Colorado. The purpose of the expanded bioventing system will be to better achieve in situ treatment of fuel-contaminated vadose zone soils at the site. The activities related to the installation of the proposed expanded system will be performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) 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 F4l624-92-D-8036, 0017. The primary objectives of the bioventing system upgrade are to: 1) Deliver oxygen to contaminated vadose zone soils targeted for remediation, to continue aerobic in situ remediation of fuel-contaminated soils; 2) Provide additional characterization data for site closure; and 3) Sustain aerobic in situ biodegradation until hydrocarbon-contaminated soils within the unsaturated zone are remediated to below acceptable regulatory standards.
