Gasoline Alley, Fort Drum Bioremediation Evaluation, Area 1795, Phase I and Phase II

Abstract

The goal of this effort was the evaluation biotreatability options for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) contaminated Area 1795 located along Gasoline Alley at the active duty military installation of Fort Drum, New York. Area 1795 most recently contained two 94,600 (25,000-gal) and one 45,600 (12,000-gal) steel underground storage tanks (USTs) used for refueling military vehicles with unleaded gasoline and was part of a nine-site refueling complex containing 21 USTs. The objectives of the evaluation were to: (a) determine potential microbial activity of Area 1795 subsurface soils; (b)determine intrinsic TPH degradation potential of Area 1795 subsurface microorganisms; (c) determine parameters which will enhance subsurface microbial growth in Area 1795; (d) optimize parameters using column study simulation of Area 1795 subsurface conditions; and (e) generate data for design and preliminary cost evaluation for the remediation of Area 1795.
