PURPOSE BENEFITS TECHNOLOGY USERS DESCRIPTION ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND RESULTS technical expertise to installations and other users of groundwater modeling technologies. To provide groundwater modeling technical expertise to installations and other users of groundwater modeling technologies. State-of-the-art modeling can save vast amounts of money, as can a system to help ensure that proper remedial actions are carried out. Army installations and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers districts. The Groundwater Modeling Technical Support Program, sustained jointly by the U.S. Army Environmental Center (USAEC) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Military Programs Office (CE-MP), has been assisting agencies and Army installations for several years. The program is administered by the Groundwater Modeling Technical Support Center at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center-Waterways Experiment Station (WES) and is overseen by a technical advisory group from the funding agencies. The program has provided technical expertise and products to a rapidly expanding group of users, evidenced by over 3,000 support calls during the last three years. The technical expertise made available through the program has led to more efficient remediation projects. Many of the calls have come from Army installations looking for Department of Defense GMS support. The GMS was developed specifically to address groundwater remediation projects in the U.S. Army. Although USAEC has been the largest supporter of the system, other agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE), have recently followed the Army lead by supporting GMS technology. Consequently, several federal and local government agencies have accepted GMS as their standard modeling system for addressing groundwater remediation. The GMS has over 800 users in the United States and is accepted by the EPA’s Superfund and Wellhead Protection programs. The EPA also uses GMS in all 10 of its regional offices. The rapid increase in technical support requests demonstrates widespread acceptance of GMS technology. The acceptance is largely based on the system’s advanced technology, and its development by government institutions such as USAEC, CE-MP, WES and the EPA. Equally significant are the high quality-control standards and technical support programs that ensure the maintenance and improvements necessary for software longevity – an important consideration for installations where cleanup actions can take many years. • Continued providing groundwater modeling technology transfer assistance to Army users. This support included distributing GMS software and manuals, and providing training as needed. 35
36 LIMITATIONS FOLLOW-ON PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS POINT OF CONTACT PROGRAM PARTNERS PUBLICATIONS • Provided groundwater-modeling assistance to the Army’s independent technical reviews (ITR) and Groundwater Extraction and Treatment Effectiveness Reviews (GWETER) programs. • Provided telephone support and on-site technical assistance, as necessary, to installations conducting groundwater remediation activities. Site assistance was typically limited to less than one manweek of labor (per site) and travel costs. • Demonstrated the capability and cost-effectiveness of natural attenuation modeling in reducing remediation costs. This was accomplished by reducing the number of years required for active remediation systems such as pump-and-treat. • Distributed results from the demonstration projects to installation personnel to ensure technology transfer within the Army. • Provided groundwater-modeling services to Milan Army Ammunition Plant (AAP), Tennessee; Longhorn AAP, Texas; Pueblo Chemical Depot (CD), Colorado; the former Sacramento Army Depot, California; Umatilla CD, Oregon; Stratford Army Engine Plant, Connecticut; and Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Due to resource limitations, users can only receive support for less than one person-week without providing their own additional resources. USAEC’s institutional support is necessary for the continued success of the program.

(Web site for the modeling system.) OPTIMIZATION OF IN-SITU VOLATILIZATION DEVICES Many Army installations use soil vapor extraction (SVE) to remove volatile compounds from soil, mainly because they can leave the soil in place during the cleanup operation and save money. This project is developing a model that installations can use to improve the design and operations of such in-situ remediation systems.
