Site History Conceptual Site Model Remediation Options Questions
I hope to provide you with a perspective on:
- the interdisciplinary nature of soil and groundwater remediation
- how science and engineering contribute to the process,
- Some of the non-technical issues that are involved.
Site History
3
1888 to 1960: Operated as a Manufactured Gas Plant 1960 to Present: Property uses and ownership change. 1995 to present: Current property owners, the City and
past MGP owners perform site investigations, risk assessment, and feasibility studies; oversight by USEPA and FDEP under the Superfund program.
2013: USEPA selects remedy for OU1 (top 60 feet);
investigations continue on OU2 (190 to 450 feet below ground surface)
January 2016: Projected start date for OU1

Common Sense Geology Hydrogeology Microbiology Toxicology Chemistry Site History
Conceptual Site Models Evolve Over Time
Review past and current site activities and properties Identify site and contaminant characteristics that affect fate and transport Identify existing and potential receptors Define the current distribution of contaminants Screen potential risk management options Screen various remediation options Identify information gaps Collect more information and refine the Conceptual Site Model

No direct exposure No imminent risk
OU1
Soils and Surficial Aquifer Groundwater
Shallow Soil Contamination (2-10 feet bgs)

Groundwater movement is very slow, no surface water nearby.
Surficial Aquifer Zone

Conceptual Site Model –
Generalized Cross-Section of Impacted Areas

Remedial Objectives for OU1
Contaminants: Benzene, naphthalene, ethylbenzene,
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Objectives:
Prevent contact with contaminated soil and groundwater Prevent migration of impacted groundwater Remove or treat the contaminated soil Use safe, implementable and proven technologies, be
cost effective.
In situ Stabilization/Solidification
