Completion of One-Year Bioventing Test, Newark AFB Site N1 (Facility 27), Site N2 (Facility 89), and Site N3 (Facility 14)
Abstract
The Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) one-year bioventing test and evaluation projects at Newark AFB have been completed. A site map (Figure 1) and two tables (Table I and Table 2) are attached for two of the three sites listed above. Figure 1 provides general site information; Table I provides a summary of initial, interim, and final respiration and degradation rates measured at various monitoring points at each site; and Table 2 provides a summary of initial and final soil and soil gas analytical results for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) at each site. Neither an air permeability test nor an insitu respiration test was conducted at Site N3. Originally, these tests were to be conducted at a later date if funding was available. However, the site has been declared clean by the state of Ohio and no further work is planned for this site. Therefore, only initial site activities and soil sampling were performed. The objective of the sampling and evaluation effort was not to collect enough samples for a statistical evaluation, but rather to demonstrate the feasibility of using bioventing to reduce TRPH and BTEX concentrations in fuel-contaminated soil and soil gas. The results of soil and soil gas sample analyses and respiration testing were used to evaluate the performance of this technology for each site.
