Remediation by Natural Attenuation Treatability Study for OU-4 (Site FT-1)

Abstract

This report presents the results of a treatability study (TS) performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) at Operable Unit 4 (OU-4) at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, to evaluate remediation by natural attenuation (RNA) of dissolved chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) and fuel hydrocarbons in groundwater. The TS focused on the fate and transport of dissolved CAHs, particularly 1,1, 1-trichloroethane (1,1, 1-TCA), which is present at high concentrations at the site. Petroleum hydrocarbons INCLUDING BENZENE, TOLUENE, ETHYLBENZENE, AND XYLENES (BTEX) also are present in site groundwater and were considered in this TS. The site history and the results of the soil and groundwater investigations conducted previously also are summarized in this report.
