Work Plan for the Demonstration of Phytostabilization of Chlorinated Solvents from Groundwater at Site 17, Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma. Draft

Abstract

This work plan was prepared by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) for the Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) as part of an overall demonstration of engineered tree plantings to hydraulically control (phytostabilize) groundwater contaminated with chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). The activities outlined in this work plan will be performed at Altus Air Force Base (AFB), Oklahoma. Two primary objectives exist for this project: 1) Demonstrate the ability or inability of engineered tree plantings to hydraulically control groundwater through field measurements; and 2) Utilizing the field measurements, refine and calibrate a water balance model to be used as a screening and evaluation tool for phytostabilization at other Air Force sites (to be completed by others). These two objectives provide the basis for the activities outlined in this work plan.
