Abstract

This report summarizes the field activities conducted at Travis AFB (TAFB), CA, Area G or Jet Fuel Storage Area 1 (JFSA-1) for a short-term field pilot test of vacuum-enhanced free-product recovery (bioslurping) in comparison to traditional free product techniques. The field testing at TAFB is part of the Bioslurping Field Initiative which is funded and managed by the U.S. Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE). The AFCEE Bioslurper Initiative is a multisite program designed to evaluate the efficacy of bioslurping technology for (1) the recovery of light, nonaqueous-phase liquid (LNAPL) from groundwater and the capillary fringe; and (2) enhancing natural in situ degradation of petroleum contaminants in the vadose zone via bioventing.
