Closure Sampling and Analysis Plan for Building 173 - Former Diesel UST Site

Authors: PARSONS ENGINEERING SCIENCE INC ATLANTAGA
Abstract:
This site closure sampling and analysis plan (SAP) has been prepared by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) for submittal to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD). Since 1992, Robins Air Force Base (Robins AFB) has participated in the Air Force Bioventing Pilot Test Initiative Project for the U.S. Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) and the Environmental Quality Directorate of the Air Force Armstrong Laboratory. The project included conducting more than 135 in situ bioventing pilot tests at 48 Air Force installations throughout the country. These tests were designed to collect data on the effectiveness of bioventing for the remediation of soil contaminated with fuel hydrocarbons (i.e. , JP-4 jet fuel, diesel fuel, gasoline, heating oil, etc.). As part of this project, a bioventing pilot test was conducted at Robins AFB Building 173. The bioventing system began operation in September 1992 and currently remains in operation. Based on the results of this test, in situ bioventing has been effective enough to support closure of the former location of a 1,500 gallon diesel underground storage tank (UST) located at Building 173. This SAP presents a plan for confirmation groundwater and soil sampling to document the effectiveness of soil remediation at this site and to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements for closure.
