Bioventing Pilot Test Work Plan for Building 675 LPST Site, Fort Bliss, Texas

Abstract

This work plan presents the scope of a multi-phase bioventing pilot test for in situ treatment of fuel-contaminated soils at Building 675, Fort Bliss, Texas. The location of the site is presented on Figure 1.1. The pilot test will be performed by Parsons Engineering-Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) for Fort Bliss and the United States Army Environmental Center (USAEC) through a contract with the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE). The three primary objectives of the proposed pilot tests are: (1) to assess the potential for supplying oxygen throughout the contaminated soil interval, (2) to determine the rate at which indigenous microorganisms will degrade fuel when supplied with oxygen-rich soil gas, and (3) to evaluate the potential for sustaining these rates of biodegradation until fuel contamination is remediated to concentrations below regulatory standards.
