Bioventing Pilot Test Work Plan for Site ST200 (SA38), McClellan Air Force Base, California

Abstract

This Bioventing Pilot Test Work Plan presents the scope of an in situ bioventing pilot test and installation of a bioventing system for treatment of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soils at Site ST2OO at McClellan Air Force Base (AFB), Sacramento County, California. The primary goal of the bioventing system is to remove the potential source of groundwater contamination from the soil. The system is not designed to reduce contaminant concentrations in groundwater. Four main objectives toward achieving the goal of removing contaminants from the soil are: (1) assess the potential for supplying oxygen throughout the petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil zone, (2) determine the rate at which indigenous microorganisms will degrade the contaminants in the soil when stimulated by oxygen-rich soil vapor, (3) evaluate the potential for sustaining these rates of fuel biodegradation, and (4) gather baseline data which can be used in the future to evaluate the effectiveness of bioventing in treating site soils.
