THREE ENVIROFORENSICS SCIENTISTS PRESENTING AT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CHLORINATED SOLVENTS AND RECALCITRANT COMPOUNDS

Three EnviroForensics scientists will present the results of their current research projects at this year’s Battelle International Conference on Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds. The conference is considered the signature forum for the environmental remediation industry and will feature the largest technical program to date with over 1,300 platform and poster presentations on the schedule.

“Scientific innovation and excellence form the foundation of our environmental remediation service lines. A mainstay of scientific work is peer review, and Battelle’s 2022 Chlorinated Conference gives us the opportunity to share what we have learned and receive valuable feedback from the remediation community,” said EnviroForensics President, Jeff Carnahan. “We believe that our application of cutting-edge environmental investigation and remediation approaches keeps our clients at the top of the list of regulated closures each year, particularly at chlorinated solvent sites. We are excited to collaborate and learn at the Chlorinated Conference this year.”

This year’s presentations by R. Scott Powell (PE, LPG), Brian Kappen (LPG), and Michele Murday Pariso (Project Geologist), cover current remediation topics like the study of dilution to improve injection-based remedial treatment, targeted soil excavation with a passively dispersed reductive amendment in a source area over fractured bedrock, and the use of horizontal colloidal activated carbon permeable reactive barriers to control vertical mass loading into a sandstone aquifer. Read our summaries below.

WHEN DILUTION IS THE SOLUTION TO POLLUTION: HOW MOBILIZING DNAPL RESULTED IN A MORE SUCCESSFUL INJECTION-BASED REMEDIAL TREATMENT APPROACH
BY: MICHELE MURDAY PARISO AND COLLIN MARTIN (ASH UNION)
EnviroForensics designed and directed implementation of in-situ treatment of solvent contamination at a former drycleaning facility in Northwest Indiana. The remedial approach consisted of source area reagent injections and installation of a permeable reactive barrier (PRB). The Site logistics played an important role in this plan, as a down-gradient right-of-way provided a buffer zone between the site and off-site properties that allowed for the limited migration of the diluted source area DNAPL after the first injection event. Following a second injection event in 2021, groundwater monitoring data indicate a substantial reduction of the remaining source area mass, and no breakthrough of contamination has been detected beyond the down-gradient PRB.

CAN LESS REMEDIATION BE MORE EFFECTIVE? COMBINING TARGETED SOIL EXCAVATION WITH PASSIVELY DISPERSED REDUCTIVE AMENDMENT IN A SOURCE AREA OVER FRACTURED BEDROCK
BY: R. SCOTT POWELL
Extensive remediation was needed at a site in Northeast Indiana with high concentrations of tetrachloroethene (PCE) source material located directly over fractured bedrock. This contaminant mass was leaching directly into unconsolidated and bedrock groundwater, resulting in an elevated dissolved phase plume that migrated offsite. A multi-faceted (and costly) remedial approach would be needed to reduce both the vadose zone source area contaminant mass and the dissolved phase contaminant mass within the bedrock fractures.

Soil excavation was selected as a cost-effective remedial option to remove the source area vadose soils overlying the fractured bedrock, but excavation of deeper saturated soils and fractured bedrock was not a feasible or cost-effective option. Therefore, a soil reagent was applied to the bottom of the excavation by specialized methods prior to backfilling to promote 1) abiotic degradation within residual saturated soils and bedrock interface impacts, and 2) enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD) in the natural groundwater environment for prolonged dissolved phase contaminant mass reduction. The effectiveness the remedial approach has been demonstrated through enhanced reducing conditions, PCE breakdown products, and abiotic markers in groundwater samples collected to date, with additional groundwater monitoring to continue during 2022.

USE OF A HORIZONTAL COLLOIDAL ACTIVATED CARBON PERMEABLE REACTIVE BARRIER TO CONTROL VERTICAL MASS LOADING INTO A SANDSTONE AQUIFER
BY: BRIAN KAPPEN AND KEITH GASKILL (REGENESIS)
A novel approach for reducing mass loading of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) to a sandstone aquifer was implemented at a site in Southern Wisconsin. Glacially-deposited material and a fractured dolomite unit overly a sandstone unit, creating a complex hydrogeological system. The CVOCs moved vertically through the unsaturated overburden into the dolomite, spreading through it and migrating into the sandstone. These conditions formed a 30,000 square feet area of contaminant mass loading, resulting in a mile-long CVOC plume in groundwater.

Direct treatment of contamination in the dolomite would not be effective due to the clay-filled fracture network. Rather, a horizontally-oriented colloidal activated carbon (CAC) permeable reactive barrier (PRB) was applied to remove contaminants from the dissolved phase and reduce the vertical migration of CVOCs into the sandstone. Nearly 100,000 gallons of CAC mixture were injected via a network of 21 specially designed and positioned injections points to form the horizontal PRB. Post-application monitoring has demonstrated reduced CVOC mass loading to the aquifer, and compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) of groundwater samples indicates that CVOC biodegradation will continue to occur in the absence of any further remedy. Based on these results, the overseeing agency has agreed that the site is ready for regulatory closure.

CHLORINATED 2022 CONFERENCE INFORMATION
These and over 1,000 other posters and presentations will be on display at the Twelfth International Conference on Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds in Palm Springs, California, which runs from May 22-26.

 PROJECT START DATE MOVED UP TO FALL 2021

BY: MORGAN SALTSGIVER

The City of Hammond, Indiana is accelerating the timeline of a lead-contaminated soil removal project in a residential neighborhood this year. The cleanup project in the Robertsdale neighborhood was originally forecasted to start sometime in the next 7 to 10 years; however, with the safety of their residents in mind, Hammond leaders pushed to fast-track the timeline to start this Fall. The City will pay for the soil remediation along with new topsoil, grass, and landscaping for each impacted property.

In 2017, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that several properties in the Robertsdale section contained levels of lead in the soil as a result of a nearby metals processor that operated decades ago. In response, the EPA cleaned up a few properties in the area containing high levels of lead but determined that federal funding wasn’t available to clean up the remaining properties.  The City and EnviroForensics will manage the removal and disposal of the lead-contaminated soil at 12 different properties in the final quarter of 2021 and will continue to clean up the remaining properties in the neighborhood through the next two to three years using City funds.

The Mayor’s office and the Hammond Department of Environmental Management have given notice of the upcoming cleanup to the residents of the Robertsdale area. When the remediation is completed, Hammond will provide a certificate to each property owner to show future interested buyers that their property meets environmental standards.

ENVIROFORENSICS’ SENIOR ENGINEER PRESENTS ABOUT DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS FOR CHLORINATED SOLVENT SITES

It’s always an honor to be given an opportunity to share our insights with the international environmental consulting community. EnviroForensics’ Senior Engineer, Collin Martin, will present to an international audience of his peers at the 2020 Association of Environmental Health & Sciences (AEHS) Foundation Soils, Sediments, Water, and Energy East Coast Conference. Collin submitted an abstract, Data Driven Decisions for Chlorinated Solvent Site Investigation Design, Remediation Technology Selection, and Regulatory Closure, based on data collected on the job. 

COLLIN MARTIN’S PRESENTATION: DATA DRIVEN DECISIONS FOR CHLORINATED SOLVENT SITE INVESTIGATION DESIGN, REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGY SELECTION, AND REGULATORY CLOSURE
Our work as consultants is only as good as our decision making. And our decision making is only as good as the data we have and the choices available to us. Since each ‘bad’ decision we make costs our clients’ money, and ‘bad’ consultants tend not to stay in business very long, we all have a vested interest in making the best possible decisions for our clients. One of the best ways to gain perspective and to see hidden avenues for cost-savings is to look at how other firms have handled similar sites and evaluate the resulting paths those sites took to reach closure. By combing and analyzing data from historical sites, simple trends and patterns can emerge to help guide future decision-making processes. Knowing whether the best approach for a site will be multi-iteration or continuous site investigation, using aggressive remedial action or a plume stability monitoring approach, or implementing institutional controls or a long-term stewardship plan can mean the difference between years of additional site work and millions of dollars in spent capital for our clients. Our detailed analysis of over 100 closed sites has yielded several notable trends, which we will use in our client’s best interest to maximize our ‘good’ decisions as consultants and to minimize the cost and time incurred by our clients.
