Description:
Nine enhanced aquifer remediation technologies were demonstrated side-by-side at a Hill Air Force Base Chemical Disposal Pit/Fire Training Area site. The demonstrations were performed inside 3 x 5 m cells isolated from the surrounding shallow aquifer by steel piling. The site was contaminated with a light non-aqueous phase mixture of chlorinated solvents and fule hydrocarbons. The technologies demonstrated manipulate the solubility, mobility, and volatility of the contaminants in order to enhance the aquifer rmediation over a standard 'Pump-and-Treat' system. Thousands os samples were collected as part of tracer tests, soil flushing demonstrations, and routine characterization efforts. Included in this chapter are the project goals, site information, and details on test cell construction and contaminant distribution. Specific details about each of the technologies can be found in other chapters. An integrated document, the Guidance Manual for the Extraction of Contaminants from Unconsolidated Subsurface Environments which will include comparisons of the treatability studies, will be available in the near future.
