Bioventing Pilot Test Work Plan for Spill Site 6, F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming

Abstract

This work plan presents the scope of an in situ bioventing pilot test for treatment of fuel-contaminated soils at spill site 6 at F.E. Warren Air Force Base (AFB), Wyoming. The scope of soil gas surveys to determine the feasibility of bioventing pilot test at Fire Protection Training Area 2 (FPTA 2) and the motor maintenance shop is also presented. The pilot test has three primary objectives: 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 stimulated by 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.
