Page 4 of 5 <br /> 4.4.2 AirSparginq Test <br /> To evaluate air sparging as a groundwater remediation alternative, a 4-hour air sparging test will <br /> be conducted on the air sparge well (AS-1). The air sparge test will be used to evaluate: <br /> • The air injection pressure and flow rate for engineering design requirements; <br /> • Radius of influence; <br /> • Any increase in dissolved oxygen readings in the test well and ulrservabon wells, <br /> • Off-gassingfvolatil ization of petroleum hydrocarbons from the vadosefsaturated zones; <br /> • Evidence of biodegradation. <br /> Prior to starting the AS test, groundwater table elevation and dissolved oxygen in groundwater will <br /> be monitored with field instruments in MWA, MW-2, MW-3, the proposed well to the west of the <br /> former UST#3, and SVEAC. In addition, observation well pressure, and soil gas parameters <br /> (oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane, and organic vapors)will be monitored w th field instruments in <br /> MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, the proposed well to the west of the former UST#3, SVE-1A/B/C, and SVE- <br /> 26 <br /> The AS test equipment will include an oil-less air compressor, air-hoses, flow gauges and multiple <br /> pressure gauges connected to air-tight well caps. During the tests, air from the compressor will <br /> be injected into the air sparge test well, and pressure readings will be collected from the test well <br /> and the observation wells (MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, the proposed well to the west of the former UST <br /> #3, SVE-1ABIC, and SVE-26). <br /> The test well and observation wells will be monitored with field instruments every 30 minutes <br /> during the 4-hour AS test. The monitoring parameters will include the water table elevation, air <br /> injection pressure, operating pressure, injected airflow rate, observation well pressure, dissolved <br /> oxygen in groundwater, and the soil gas parameters (oxygen, carbon dioxide, and organic <br /> vapors). Thirty minutes after the completion of the 4-hour test,the final monitoring parameters will <br /> be measured. <br /> Bill A. Cook III, P. G., C. E.
