Overview of Remedial Technologies
Technology Technology Description Applicable Lithology
Excavation Contaminant mass is physically removed and properly treated or disposed. F + C Air Sparge/Soil Vapor Extraction (AS/SVE) AS injects air into the saturated zone to volatilize contaminants and SVE induces a vacuum to remove vapors from the vadose zone. AS or SVE can be used individually if site conditions are appropriate. C Biosparging and Bioventing Air or oxygen is injected at low flow rates into the unsaturated zone (bioventing) or saturated zone (biosparging) to stimulate contaminant biodegradation. F + C Multi-Phase Extraction An induced vacuum removes LNAPL, groundwater and vapor from the subsurface. A single pump or dual pump system may be employed and a fixed or mobile system may be designed depending on the complexity and magnitude of the environmental impact. F + C In-Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) A chemical oxidant (e.g., H2O2, NaSO4, O3 ), typically with amendments, is introduced into the subsurface to convert contaminants into innocuous byproducts. C Activated Carbon Activated carbon, typically with bio-nutrients and/or oxidants, is introduced in the subsurface to adsorb contaminant mass (trap) and enable biological degradation processes to occur (treat). C Surfactant-enhanced Subsurface Remediation (SESR) A surfactant is injected to increase LNAPL solubilization and mobility to enable recovery
C Enhanced Biodegradation Electron acceptors (i.e., oxygen, nitrate, sulfate) or nutrients (i.e., trace elements) are added to improve biodegradation rates within the saturated zone. F + C Thermal Desorption Energy is used to heat soil, pore space, and groundwater to volatilize contaminant mass and reduce the viscosity and interfacial tension of LNAPL to enable recovery of liquid and vapor contaminants via extraction wells. F + C Enhanced Fluid Recovery (EFR) LNAPL is hydraulically recovered by a vacuum-enhanced process. C Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) and Natural Source Zone Depletion (NSZD) Contaminant mass is naturally degraded or depleted over time by physical, chemical, or biological processes. F + C

PROPOSED MONITORING PLAN
CAP IMPLEMENTATION
metrics allow for evaluation
progress to eliminating identified contaminant concerns
identification allows for a estimate of time to achieve remedial objectives
predetermined points used to evaluate progress towards a remedial endpoint
involves establishing a sampling network that is representative contaminant plume and within targeted treatment areas
monitoring should coincide with remedial milestones to evaluate progress towards remedial endpoint
Corrective Action Plan Preparation Training – Exercise 3: Establish Performance Metrics, Remedial Milestones and Endpoints to Achieve Remedial Objectives Identify the following for the technology of AS/SVE to address the concerns of: 1. Impacted groundwater above Tier I RBSLs offsite and/or SSTLs onsite, 2. Vadose zone soil impacted below Tier I RBSLs but groundwater impacted above Tier I RBSLs, 3. LNAPL saturation is within the residual saturation range and persistent source of dissolved phase or vapor phase concerns.
Specific - Measurable - Agreed Upon - Realistic - Time-based -
with contaminant concern ID
drive remedial goals and objectives
goals/objectives should be SMART for identified areas
performance metrics, endpoints and milestones
should be specific to where contaminant concerns exist and where remedial objectives have been identified
select the remedial technology based on the 5-step screening process – BASIS of SELECTION
does not represent the END! If multiple concerns, consider a treatment train or combined remedy
needs, network, and frequency to coincide with milestones and to evaluate progress towards established endpoints
