Enhanced In Situ Bioremediation– Biowalls• Enhanced In Situ Bioremediation (EISB) – Biowalls Significant taxpayer savings when compared toexisting technologies Requires minimal maintenance; can treat TCEplumes at fraction of cost of pump-and-treat Construction costs typically 1/3 of constructioncosts of permeable zero-valent walls Uses simple organic materials, often free (e.g.,tree mulch, agriculture waste products)Nine biowalls installed to date- Altus, Offutt, Dover, Ellsworth, FE Warren,NAS Ft Worth JRB, WhitemanLongest biowall installed to date isAltus AFB at 5,200+ linear ft- $30M avoidance <strong>AFCEE</strong> “how-to manual” due out December 2006I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e6

P2 <strong>Technology</strong> Support for theWeapon Systems $5M weapon system pollution prevention (P2)program- Environmentally Advantaged Radar AbsorbingMaterial- Two materials currently undergoing full scale testson F-16 demonstrate 70% & 30% reduction inapplication time; quicker return to the field- Low Temperature Cure Powder Coating- Joint Air Force/Navy project to gain the advantageof low-VOC powder coatings for non-flight criticalcomposite aircraft parts; will reduce over 10,000 lbsof VOCs, plus over $300K in labor/materials- Environmentally Advantaged (LBOD) AircraftDeicing Fluids (ADF)- Demonstrations on KC-135 aircraft prove theeffectiveness of the non-toxic, biodegradable, noncorrosive,cost-effective, drop-in substitute for thepropylene glycol (PG) based deicing fluids <strong>AFCEE</strong>’s partnership with the weapon systemenvironmental community improves theprocess to transition P2 technologies to thewar fighterI n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e9
