Overview

  • Biofuels usage increases = expected increase in

releases to the environment

  • Physical, chemical, and biological properties differ from

those of conventional fuels

  • Differences in fate and transport – including potential for

methane generation

  • Site investigation and remediation differences

Site Investigation Differences

  • Methane in soil gas = likely risk driver
  • Monitoring wells differences
  • Likely additional requirements
  • Sampling for additional parameters
  • Additional field screening equipment
  • Vapor intrusion monitoring
  • Site investigation of new biofuels should be based on

the physical, chemical and biological properties of the biofuel
