PART I: Bioventing Test Work Plan for Low Point Drain Area, Offutt AFB, Nebraska. PART II: Draft Interim Test Results Report for Low Point Drain Area, Offutt AFB, Nebraska
Abstract
This test work plan presents the scope of a two-phase in situ bioventing pilot test for treatment of fuel contaminated soils at the Low Point Drain (LPD) area at Offutt Air Force Base (AFB), Nebraska. The pilot tests have three primary objectives: 1) to assess the potential for supplying oxygen throughout the contaminated soil depth, 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 below regulatory standards. If bioventing proves to be feasible at this site, pilot test data will be used to design a full-scale remediation system and to estimate the time required for site cleanup. An added benefit of the pilot testing at the LPD area is that a significant amount of the fuel contamination should be biodegraded during the 1-year extended pilot test, as the testing will take place within the most contaminated soils that have been detected on the site.
