<strong>In</strong> <strong>Situ</strong> <strong>Flushing</strong> Project Summaries GWRTAC Case Study Database GWRTAC ID: FLSH0049 Project Name: Volk Air National Guard Base, WI City: Camp Douglas State/Province: WI Primary GWRTAC Personal Communication Source (Name/Organization): Project Summary: The following was excerpted from Nash, J. H., 1988, Project Summary Field Studies of <strong>In</strong> <strong>Situ</strong> Soil Washing, EPA/600/S2-87/110, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, February 1988: Laboratory Study Soil impacted by fire training operations at the Volk Air National Guard Base, Wisconsin was characterized in a laboratory. Physical tests performed included grain size, TOC, CEC, mineralogy by x-ray diffraction, and permeability. Grain size indicated 98% sand, x-ray diffraction indicated alpha-quartz, with a minor amount of feldspar was present. Other results were TOC (14,900 ug/g) and CEC (5 meq/100 g). The permeability of the fire pit soil, at 10-3 and 10-4 cm/sec, was one to two orders of magnitude less than adjacent uncontaminated soil. Dichloromethane, chloroform, TCA and TCE were present at levels up to 3 ppm, and total chlorinated solvents were found at concentrations up to 3.5 ppm. The level of hydrocarbon contamination was in the hundreds of ug/g, based on the laboratory analysis. Soil adsorption constants (K) for the soil contaminants ranged from 10 to 1,000,000. Ground-water from the aquifer below the fire training pit contained chlorinated and non-chlorinated hydrocarbons above 300 ppm. The soil was recompacted into glass columns creating a simulated in situ environment. Under gravity flow, 12 pore volumes (PV) of aqueous surfactant solutions were passed through each column. Previous laboratory work had identified a 50/50 blend of two commercially available surfactants (Adsee 799 and Hyonic PE-90, sold by Witco Chemical and Diamond Shamrock, respectively) that work well in removal of soil contaminants. GC analyses of the washing effluent and soil was performed to determine removal efficiency (RE), with encouraging results.

Ten two by two foot, one-foot deep holes were dug into the impacted surface of the fire training pit, and surfactant solutions were applied to each hole at the rate of 1.9 gpd/ft2.
