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. The H-10™ product placement was made via a remedial irrigation
trenching and cavity leaching system, referred to as the remedial
irrigation system, which consisted of two trenches and eight cavities. The
trenches and cavities were methodically spaced to allow the H-10
applications to migrate across the affected area of concern. 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 from the monitoring wells and all application points
in order to extract samples for laboratory analysis. Field screening with
a photo ionization detector (PID) was also used to track the progress of
the remedial activity. The samples collected were in a triangular pattern
across the area of concern with the use of a geo probe.
The treatment with Bio Rem H-10® bacteria
began on October 2002 and samples analyzed by an independent lab confirmed
acceptable levels in their report dated April 2002. The results of the laboratory
analysis were obtained using U.S. EPA Method 8021 and 8270 as required by
the NYSDEC.
