FIELD EVALUATION OF INTRINSIC REMEDIATION AT A CHLORINATED SOLVENT/ HYDROCARBON CONTAMINATED SITE, EIELSON AFB, ALASKA

 
R.R. Dupont, K. Gorder, D. L. Sorensen, and M. Kemblowski, Utah Water Research Laboratory, Utah State University, Logan, Utah 84322-8200 A two-year field study was conducted at Eielson AFB, Alaska, to apply a data collection and summary methodology that can be used to provide a comprehensive description of actual and potential rates of intrinsic remediation taking place at TCE/hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. A description of this methodology, its application and implications of results from this field study for a specific field site on Eielson AFB, is the subject of this presentation.

Field methods used for plume delineation, and data reduction results for contaminant mass estimation and mass center calculations will be highlighted, along with results of documented intrinsic bioremediation taking place at this mixed solvent and petroleum-contaminated site. Estimated electron acceptor pool, electron acceptor utilization, contaminant degradation rates, and long-term plume modeling will be summarized. Finally, the case will be made for the selection of intrinsic remediation with long-term monitoring, without source removal, as the preferred ground water management option for this site.

Key words: intrinsic remediation, chlorinated solvents, petroleum, field studies, reductive dechlorination
