Treatability Study Report and Feasibility Evaluation for <br />In Situ Petroleum Hydrocarbon Remediation <br />Field Maintenance Shop #24, 8020 South Airport Way <br />Stockton, California <br />o TPH-g concentrations decreased from 24,000 pg/L to 8,200 pg/L (66% reduction), <br />located at 34.5 feet from the test well. <br />• AS technology effectively transferred VOCs from the saturated zone into the vadose zone <br />where it can be captured by an SVE system: <br />o TPH-g vapor -phase concentrations increased from 2,300 ppmv to 6,300 ppmv (174% <br />increase) at FMS-DPE1, located 17 feet from the test well; <br />o TPH-g vapor -phase concentrations increased from 3,300 ppmv to 5,300 ppmv (61% <br />increase) at FMS-MW5, located 20 feet from the test well; and <br />o TPH-g vapor -phase concentrations increased from 350 ppmv to 3,900 ppmv (1,014% <br />increase) at FMS-DPE2, located 34.5 feet from the test well. <br />• Based on visual observations (bubbling), increase in DO concentrations, reduction in <br />groundwater concentrations, increase in vapor concentrations, increase in helium <br />concentrations, groundwater mounding, and pressure increases at the monitoring wells, the <br />AS ZOI was estimated to be a radial distance of 20 to 30 feet. <br />• Based the evaluation of the above parameters, confinement of detected helium <br />concentrations to a maximum distance of 34 feet from the test well, and the rapid dissipation <br />of air pressure observed post AS testing: <br />o Injected air was distributed efficiently within the subsurface; and <br />o Injected air did not remain trapped within the subsurface. <br />• Step testing conducted at the end of the FMS-AS1A and beginning of the FMS-AS1 B tests <br />confirmed that air can be injected into the subsurface at reasonable flow rates and injection <br />pressures. At the beginning of FMS-AS1 B testing, pressures between 34 and 47 psig <br />produced air sparge flow rates between 7 and 22 scfm. After step testing, the sparging <br />pressure stabilized at approximately 29 psig with a flow rate of approximately 20 scfm. <br />• AS well spacing of 20 ft within the source area is recommended to provide adequate overlap <br />of coverage. <br />6.1.3. High Vacuum Dual -Phase Extraction <br />Analyses of field and analytical data from HVDPE testing on wells FMS-DPE1 and FMS-MW5 <br />confirmed that both vapor and groundwater can be extracted with the HVDPE technology. The <br />following conclusions are presented for the HVDPE test conducted at wells FMS-MW5 and <br />FMS-DPE1: <br />Vacuum versus flow rate step testing conducted at wells FMS-MW5 (screened between 27.5 <br />and 57.5 feet bgs) and FMS-DPE1 (screened between 20 and 60 feet bgs proved that the <br />placement of well screens within the subsurface has a significant effect on performance. <br />During the FMS-MW5 test, a vacuum of approximately 204 in. w.c. was required to draw <br />vapor at 40 scfm while the well was dewatered. However, a vacuum of only 35 in. w.c. was <br />required to extract soil vapor from well FMS-DPE1 at 53 scfm. <br />• The soil vapor radius of influence for HVDPE was estimated at 100 feet based on the results <br />of FMS-DPE1. <br />OTIE <br />37 <br />
