Why CAP Preparation?

  • To identify the most technologically and

economically feasible remediation technology that can be utilized to the efficiently address the risks posed to human health and environmental from a petroleum release

  • A CAP is required to be submitted within one

year from the suspected release date

Training Objective

Clearly state OPS expectations on the important topic of CAP guidance preparation through:

  • Presenting the guidance
  • Discussing the guidance
  • Reinforcing the guidance concepts through classroom

exercises to enable a basis of selection for a remedial technology(ies) to be presented

  • Gaining an understanding that an approvable CAP

must detail each of the guidance concepts, otherwise the plan is subject to denial

Conceptual Site Model (CSM)

  • Written and illustrative description of the release
  • Based on all known environmental and site

information

  • Dynamic process that continually incorporates new

information

  • An adequately prepared CAP should align with site

components identified in the CSM

  • Thoroughly developed CSMs aid in identifying

contaminant concerns

Identify Contaminant Concerns

slide-17
SLIDE 17

That Was Then...

slide-18
SLIDE 18

…This is Now.

Comprised of four distinct contaminant phases to evaluate:

  • 1. Sorbed (surficial,

subsurface soil)

  • 2. Dissolved

(groundwater ingestion)

  • 3. Vapor (soil vapor and

groundwater to IA)

  • 4. LNAPL
  • Each phase may

present multiple contaminant concerns

  • Clearly identified

contaminant concerns lead to a refined CSM with well-defined remedial objectives and goals

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Define Remedial Goals & Objectives

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Remedial Goal vs Remedial Objective

  • Goal – a desired condition to be achieved

by a remedial strategy that indicates the end of management for a specific contaminant concern

  • Objective – describes how a remediation

goal will be accomplished and must be linked to the technology(ies) to be used

slide-21
SLIDE 21

That Was Then…

  • Cleanup to Tier 1, Tier

1A, or Tier 2

  • Eliminate an exposure

pathway

  • One remediation

technology often proposed for cleanup duration

  • Goals were often

loosely defined – seldom objective

slide-22
SLIDE 22

…This Is Now.

  • Desired condition (goal) to be achieved by a remedial

strategy (objective)

  • Goals/Objectives are to be clearly defined based on

the identified contaminant concerns

  • Goals/Objectives are critical for selecting and

implementing remedial technology(ies)

  • Involves accounting for contaminant mass to be used

for performance metric and remedial endpoint identification

  • Be SMART
slide-23
SLIDE 23

SMART?

Combined with performance metrics and remedial endpoints, an objective becomes a SMART Objective

  • Specific - Targeted treatment area and technology-specific endpoints

are clearly stated

  • Measurable – Performance metrics that demonstrate progress towards

the endpoints

  • Agreed Upon – Concerns, goals, objectives treatment areas metrics,

endpoints

  • Realistic – Demonstrated ability to achieve objective
  • Time-Based – Target date of remedial endpoint being achieved

Achieving a remedial endpoint does not necessarily mean that all contaminant concerns have been eliminated

slide-24
SLIDE 24
slide-25
SLIDE 25

Identify Targeted Treatment Areas

slide-26
SLIDE 26

That Was Then…

  • Define horizontal and vertical extent of contamination
  • Area where contaminant concern(s) present seldom,

if ever, fully identified

  • CAP approval was possible even without full

characterization and without full comprehension of specific areas requiring treatment

slide-27
SLIDE 27

…This Is Now.

  • Specific areas where a contaminant concern(s) exists
  • Assessment is key to identify contaminant distribution

– many HRSC tools are now available

  • Detailed X-Sections – areas must be clearly depicted

for every remedial objective identified

  • Identify not only accessible areas where concern(s)

exists, but also inaccessible areas

  • Includes all completed exposure pathways

SLIDE 29

Quick Recap

  • An adequately-prepared CAP should align with site

components identified in the CSM

  • Thoroughly developed CSMs aid in identifying contaminant

concerns

  • Clearly identified contaminant concerns lead to a refined

CSM with well-defined remedial objectives and goals

  • Remedial objectives & goals are critical for selecting and

implementing remedial technology(ies) and need to be SMART

  • Targeted treatment areas are specific areas where a

contaminant concern(s) exists and need to be clearly depicted for every identified remedial objective

SLIDE 42

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

  • f dissolved phase and LNAPL via extraction wells.

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

Step 4

  • To this point – a desktop

evaluation of existing data and experience has been conducted

  • Step 4 includes the

collection of the necessary field data and performing pilot testing

  • Critical data collection

aids in overall remedial selection, design efficiency, and performance monitoring

Identify Critical Data Needs

slide-45
SLIDE 45

Critical Data Aids In…..

  • Remedial selection - Will the selected

technology effectively perform in the targeted treatment area?

  • Design efficiency - What information should be

gathered to maximize the effectiveness of the technology?

  • Performance monitoring – What baseline data

are needed prior to implementation?

slide-46
SLIDE 46

Critical Data Examples

  • Excavation – Grid pattern of soil borings
  • AS/SVE – Air flow rates, vapor removal, radius of

influence

  • Multi-Phase Extraction (MPE) – Liquid recovery

rates, drawdown

  • ISCO – Soil oxidant demands, contaminant

distribution, mass flux

  • MNA – Degradation rates, geochemical setting
slide-47
SLIDE 47

Step 5

  • A culmination of Steps 1-4
  • Multiple contaminant

concerns may warrant repeating the technology selection process

  • Identification of

performance metrics and remedial endpoints

  • Treatment train or

combined remedy approach may be necessary

Select Technologies to Address Concerns & Objectives

slide-48
SLIDE 48

Treatment Train/ Combined Remedy

slide-49
SLIDE 49

Treatment Train

  • A sequence of multiple remedial technologies to achieve site

closure

  • Formerly, a single remedial technology to closure was the norm
  • More practical to sequence remedial technologies based on

contaminant concerns and remedial objectives

  • Consider starting with a primary technology (i.e., excavation)

tailored for higher contaminant mass

  • Continue with a 2nd treatment technology (ISCO) and possibly a

tertiary polishing step (i.e., CBI) to address remaining contaminant mass and to achieve objectives and elimination of contaminant concern

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Combined Remedy

  • Similar approach would be under a

combined remedy (i.e., AS/SVE) in that methods are employed concurrently, even in different plume areas

  • Treatment train or combined remedy?

Both rely on performance metrics to measure remedial progress

Quick Recap

Utilize the 5 - Step Screening Process to evaluate, screen out and select a remedial technology

  • Step 1 - Screen based on identified concerns and objectives –

use table

  • Step 2 – Screen based on site geologic factors – use table
  • Step 3 – Screen based on additional evaluation factors – cost,

GSR, etc.

  • Step 4 – Collection of critical data – selection, efficiency,

performance

  • Step 5 – Select the remedial technology
  • Consider a sequence (treatment train) or combination

(combined remedy) of remedial technologies to achieve

  • bjectives and to abate contaminant concerns

Performance Metrics Measurable characteristics that track the remedial progress of a selected technology achieving a remedial objective and abating a contaminant concern

slide-77
SLIDE 77

Performance Metrics Examples

  • AS/SVE - Air emission samples to evaluate

contaminant mass

  • ISCO - Data to evaluate distribution of an in-

situ application

  • SVE - Interim or final soil confirmation samples
  • MNA – Dissolved phase monitoring

(Tier I/Tier II Endpoint)

slide-78
SLIDE 78

Endpoint Identification

  • Predetermined value (i.e., Tier 1, Tier 2

RBSLs) that describes when a technology has achieved the limits of beneficial application

  • Should account for expectations of the

selected remedial technology

  • Does not necessarily eliminate contaminant

concern(s) described in the CSM

slide-79
SLIDE 79

Remedial Milestones Anticipated points throughout remediation implementation to evaluate progress towards remedial endpoint.

slide-80
SLIDE 80

Remedial Milestone Examples

  • Air emission samples to evaluate remedial

progress

  • Mass reduction comparison based on initial

contaminant mass (exponential decline, not linear)

  • Dissolved phase concentrations

remediated to 25%, 50%, 75% of SSTL, or RBSL

Monitoring Network & Sampling Frequency

slide-82
SLIDE 82

Monitoring Well Network

  • Should be designed to be representative of

the contaminant plume and coincide with the targeted treatment areas

  • Allows for continued collection of critical data
  • Specific monitoring wells should have

endpoints (i.e., Tier I, Tier II) or other purposes (i.e., plume migration) clearly identified

slide-83
SLIDE 83

Monitoring Well Frequency

  • Frequency should:
  • coincide with

remedial milestones to evaluate progress towards remedial endpoint (i.e., RBSL, SSTL)

  • be based on an

expectation that data collection continues to progress a release towards achieving remedial objectives

  • May vary based on:
  • Intended

purpose (i.e., POC vs source area)

  • Historical data
  • Anticipated

remedial change

PROPOSED MONITORING PLAN

CAP IMPLEMENTATION

slide-85
SLIDE 85

Quick Recap

  • Identification of performance

metrics allow for evaluation

  • f remedial technology

progress to eliminating identified contaminant concerns

  • Remedial endpoint

identification allows for a estimate of time to achieve remedial objectives

  • Remedial milestones are

predetermined points used to evaluate progress towards a remedial endpoint

  • Performance monitoring

involves establishing a sampling network that is representative contaminant plume and within targeted treatment areas

  • Frequency for performance

monitoring should coincide with remedial milestones to evaluate progress towards remedial endpoint

Develop a SMART Objective

  • Identification of performance metrics and

remedial endpoints

  • Estimation of time to reach the endpoints
  • Identification of milestones to evaluate

the progress toward the endpoints

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.

  • 1. The performance metrics that will be used to measure the progress of the technology
  • 2. The remedial endpoint that signifies the technology has achieved its objective
  • 3. The estimated timeframe to achieve the objective
  • 4. Anticipated milestones
  • 5. A proposed reporting schedule based on the milestones
  • 6. Describe how this plan is a SMART Objective

Summary

  • CAP preparation starts

with contaminant concern ID

  • Contaminant concerns

drive remedial goals and objectives

  • Remedial

goals/objectives should be SMART for identified areas

  • SMART objectives include

performance metrics, endpoints and milestones

  • Targeted treatment areas

should be specific to where contaminant concerns exist and where remedial objectives have been identified

  • Evaluate, screen out,

select the remedial technology based on the 5-step screening process – BASIS of SELECTION

slide-90
SLIDE 90

Summary

  • Technology selection

does not represent the END! If multiple concerns, consider a treatment train or combined remedy

  • Identify sampling

needs, network, and frequency to coincide with milestones and to evaluate progress towards established endpoints

  • As a REP, the

expectations are that a submitted CAP will accurately detail each

  • f the components that

have been discussed here today

  • If a submitted CAP

does not meet the expectations as provided in OPS Guidance or through continuing education, the plan could be subject to denial
