Remedial Action Plan for Full-Scale Bioventing Site FSA-1, Air Force Plant 4, Fort Worth, Texas
Abstract
This document presents the remedial action plan for a full-scale bioventing system for in situ treatment of fuel-contaminated soils adjacent to Building 14, referred to as Fuel Saturation Area No. 1 (FSA-l), at Air Force Plant No. 4 (AFP4), Texas. The proposed activities will be performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (parsons ES), formerly Engineering-Science, Inc. (ES), for the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) Technology Transfer Division (ERT) under contract F41624-92-D-8036, 0017. The overall goal of the proposed full-scale bioventing system is to enhance biodegradation of fuels in the soil to minimize any contribution to groundwater contamination. Achieving this objective will decrease the amount of time required for long-term monitoring of the site and allow earlier site closure. The primary objectives of the system are: To enhance in situ remediation of anaerobic, source area, fuel-contaminated soils by injection of atmospheric air into these soils; To reduce the time span of the long-term monitoring requirements at FSA-1; To sustain aerobic in situ biodegradation until hydrocarbon-contaminated soils within the unsaturated zone are remediated to below regulatory standards in the contamination source-area.
