Cleanup Objectives: Remediate shallow ground water containing metals, chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene, and dioxins/furans

Greener Remediation Strategy:

Conducted remediation system evaluation spanning 12-acre treatment area encompassing

• Four recovery wells
• One collection trench
• A pre-treatment system to break-oil-water emulsion, remove metals, and remove suspended solids in extracted ground water
• Aboveground system employing three 30-kW ultraviolet/oxidation (UV/OX) lamps, a peroxide destruction unit, and two granular activated carbon units to collectively destroy or remove organic contaminants

Results:

• Took two UV/OX lamps offline, based on recommendations of remedial system evaluation
• Reduced annual operating costs by $32,000, primarily due to lower electricity consumption
• Continues to meet cleanup criteria for ground water

Property End Use: Undetermined
