Insitu bioremediation was selected to enable the site
to be cleaned-up and put back into productive use with the least amount of
disruption to the adjacent property, the clients business and the site
itself. First the two underground storage tanks were removed and two new
underground storage tanks were installed in a new tank field location.
Soil excavated from the old tank field and all visibly stained soil was
removed, stockpiled on site and treated. 200 feet of 4 inch PVC was then
installed in the contaminated area for an insitu remedial irrigation
system. The H-10™ product placement was made via the irrigation system.
Once the Bio Rem H-10™ product was applied, there was no other addition
of oxygen sources or other nutrients needed to remediate the site. The
contaminated area was then tested after remediation. Testing for this
projects progress and results was taken bi-monthly checking the soil and
well readings with a photo ionization detector (PID). When acceptable
levels were reached using the PID, final water and soil samples were sent
to an authorized laboratory for analysis.
The results of the laboratory analysis confirmed there
were no actionable levels after remediation. The samples were analyzed using
U.S. EPA Method SW846-8020, 418.1, and 8021B as required by the Ohio
Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulation Board.
