Results of Bioventing System Monitoring at Building 8200, Fort Carson, Colorado

Abstract

This letter presents the results of the bioventing system monitoring performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) from February to April 1998 at Building 8200, located at Fort Carson, Colorado. Oxygen influence monitoring and blower shut down occurred on 23 February 1998. In situ respiration testing was performed by Parsons ES between 23 February and 15 April 1998 to assess the extent of remediation completed during approximately 7 months of pilot-scale air injection bioventing followed by 9 months of expanded-scale bioventing. Static soil gas sampling for field and laboratory analysis was performed on 8 April 1998, 44 days following blower shut down. The purposes of this letter are to summarize site and bioventing activities to date, present the results of the 1998 system monitoring event and compare them with the results of the initial bioventing pilot test (July and August 1996) and expanded-scale system installation (April and May 1997), and to recommend future remediation activities for the site based on these findings.
