The EHD is not sure that ozone has <br /> been demonstrated as being effective for your site, noting that contaminant concentrations had <br /> started a significant decline prior to initiation of continuous ozone injection; in fact several wells <br /> in the area injected by ozone had achieved non-detect concentrations before ozone injection <br /> began, as demonstrated in the following chart: <br /> Ozone Remediation Area at 639 W.Clay Street <br /> 100000 --- -- - <br /> a <br /> 10000 - - -- - ----tee <br /> �c <br /> a c <br /> C, G;�o <br /> N � <br /> o yo <br /> ;; 1000 O <br /> m -f-MW9 TPHg <br /> c --6-MW 10 TPHg <br /> v • • • -6-EW1 TPHg <br /> 100 • -m--MW 128 MTBE <br /> c - <br /> E • <br /> A <br /> c <br /> O <br /> V <br /> 10 — 1° <br /> M <br /> 1 <br /> Monitoring Events Conducted Between October 1999 and March 2009 <br /> Most related data points not connected by lines are separated by 'non-detect' results, which <br /> cannot be plotted on a semi-log graph; a few may be missing data points. The enlarged data <br /> point labeled 'Ozone Injection Initiated' marks the first monitoring event result obtained following <br /> initiation of ozone injection the previous month, November 2006; data to the right of the <br /> enlarged point was collected during the period of ozone injection system operation. The graph <br /> clearly shows that total petroleum hydrocarbons quantified as gasoline (TPHg) in monitoring <br /> well MW-10 had declined to undetectable concentrations or to greatly reduced concentrations <br /> by late 2003; methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in MW-12B also declined sharply in late 2003, <br /> becoming undetectable by late 2005. Overall, the erratic hits of TPHg in MW-9 appear to be <br /> unaffected by the ozone injection. The concentration declines in MW-10 and MW-12B occurred <br /> Comment Letter 0909 <br />
