SUBJECT: Environmental Testing - New Police Facility Site
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend that the
City enter into an agreement with an environmental testing
firm for the next step environmental testing on property
owned by the City and identified as the site for the new
police facility.
BACKGROUND
The City has purchased the block bounded by Douglas,
Dexter, Spring and North as the site for the new police facil-
ity. Three phases of environmental testing have been conduct-
ed at the site. Contamination was discovered on the site.
Prior to the construction of the new building it will be
necessary to determine the extent of contamination on the
property and to develop a methodology to remediate the site.
Also, asbestos is present in the building. The asbestos must
be removed prior to the demolition of the structures.
The following scope of work was submitted to the three
environmental testing firms that have been prequalified to
work for the City:
Environmental Testing
Scope of Work
1. Notification of IEPA of City's intent to submit under the
Voluntary Clean Up Program.
2. Recommend additional testing to determine extent of site

PROPOSAL FOR
SITE INVESTIGATION
Le I1N'I1tODUMON
the project scope consists of assisting the City of Elgin with a Site Investigation
Avenue and
proposed bcao M for a new police Station located at the of Dexter
Douglas Avenue,EISK Illinois, hereafter referred to as the PROPERTY.
'Ibis proposal addresses the further delineation of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination farad at
this site. Additionally, ESE will develop specifications for the removal of asbestos/PCBs and
r+econunendation on demolition procedures. Finally, ESE will develop conceptual remedial
alternatives based on cost, risk,timing and approvability and how this remedial activity will mesh
with die planned development.
2.6 SCOPE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
ESE will furnish labor, materials, equipment,.and other items required to complete for the City
t services herein described. Following award of the contract, ESE on behalf of the City of
Elgin will compose a later outlining the City's desire to have the site reviewed by the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (1EPA) under the Voluntary Cleanup Program(Prawtiee
Program). The letter will be submitted on the City's behalf or provided to the City to be put on
dreir letterhead prior to Nbmi d.
2.1 Project Review and Approach
The scope of work for this proposal includes the drilling of six soft borings and the installation of
four monitoring wells on the site. One monitoring well will be installed in the northwest section
of the site in an area that was a former gas station. It has not been documented whether the
gasoline USTs in this area have been removed.
One monitoring wells will be installed in the southeast section of the site at a location dial
formerly housed a gasoline station. Although the USTs at this site had been removed several
years ago, this well is being installed at the property boundary to determine if off-.site migration
of hydrocarbons may have occurred.
Two soil borings and two monUoring wells will be installed in de southwest corner lot, mar the
site of the former dry cleaning building. It was in this area that oontaminataon from polynuckm
somatic (PNA) compounds, and benzene,ethylbenzeoe. Whom and xylem (BETS was the
hidwat. Two monitoring wells and one soil boring will be placed on the boundaries of the site to
reperndee if off-sine migration of hydrocatcW, had occurred. Finally, one sail boring will be
placed directly east of the location of the former drycleaming laundry to determine if
contamination had extended astwwd. This soil boring will be drilled inside tiers
Building if accessible or as close m due building as practical.

2.2 Soil Borings and Analyses
2.11 ESE will retain a subcontractor to drill environmental soil borings as outlined in this
me don.
2.2.2 ESE will contact JULIE to locate underground utilities on the site. The City of Elgin will
provide information regarding location of known, private utilities.
2.2.3 ESE will provide technical oversight during the drilling of the soil borings. Technical
oversight will consist of collecting samples, monitoring drilling returns with a
Photoionization Detector (PID), classifying soils, and providing oversight to the driller.
The PID meter is used to provide on-site field screening for organic vapors. ESE will
direct driller to drill borings as follows:
1. Drill a total of six soil borings to a depth of 30 feet below ground surface (bgs).
Figure 3, (Warzyn Figure Included in Appendix C), locates the proposed borings both on
the site and along Douglas Avenue. The proposed locations were chosen based on the
reports of previous workers on the site. The proposed locations were chosen to delineate
the magnitude of contamination on-site.
Previous reports indicated that three areas of the site (northwest section, southwest
section, and southeast section) were impacted. As such, the borings were situated in each
of these areas to attempt to delineate soil contamination.
2. The soil borings will be performed using a truck mounted rotary drill rig equipped with
hollow stem augers. Soil samples will be collected from the borings using a stainless
steel split barrel sampler. Split barrel samples will be collected from each boring every
2.5 feet of vertical depth to 10 fed bgs and every S foot interval thereafter to the final
boring depth.
3. Headspace samples will be collected by placing a small volume of the sample in a clan
sample jar. The jar will be sealed by placing a piece of aluminum foil over the mouth
and placing the lid on the jar. The headspace sample will tut►remain undisturbed for
approximately 30 minutes to allow the compound vapors to come to equilibrium with the
air in the jar. The sample will be screened by inserting the tip of the PID through the
aluminum foil and recording the highest PID response.

awe srahAS
Cky of Elgin
May 3, 1993
2.2.4 One soil sample from each soil boring will be submitted for laboratory analysis. The soil
sample submitted to the analytical laboratory will be the sample exhibiting de highest PID
beadspace response. Four soil samples will be analyzed for BETX and PNAs
compounds. Two soil samples will be analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
and PNAs.
Analytical methods will be in accordance with the latest edition of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) document, SW-846, -Test Methods for the
Evaluation of Solid Waste, Physical and Chemical Methods• BETX analysis will be
performed in accordance with USEPA Method 8020. PNA analysis will be performed in
accordance with USEPA Method 8270. VOC analysis will be performed in accordance
with USEPA Method 8240. The soil samples will be shipped via overnight service to the
laboratory for analysis. The analytical costs are based on standard two to three week
turnaround.
2.2.5 ESE will direct driller to decontaminate the auger and sampling equipment between each
boring to assist in preventing cross contamination of borings. ESE will also direct driller
to decontaminate the split barrel sampler prior to collection of each sample. ESE will
decontaminate its own sampling equipment prior to collection of each sample. The
decontamination procedure used for sampling equipment will consist of Alconox wash, tap
water rinse and final distilled water rinse.
2.3 Monitoring Wells
2.3.1 Monitoring Well Installation and Development
ESE will select four of the six borings for installation of ground-water monitoring wells
which will attempt to delineate eorrtamination on-site. Wells will be constructed with 2 inch
outside diameter stainless steel well screens, sand filter packs surrounding to well screen,
bentonite seals above the screened interval, and stainless steel riser casing pipe, grouted to
the surface and flush mounted with cement in accordance with IEPA recommended protocols
and regulations pertaining to monitoring wells. After allowing the grout seals to set, each
well will be developed by purging a minimum of five well volumes from the wells.
2.3.2 Ground-Water Sampling
prior to ground-water sampling, the wells will be surveyed for elevation using an established
bendmIaCk. The depth to ground-water in each well (new and existing)will be recorded
using an electronic water level indicator. This will enable ESE to determine ft direction of
ground-water flow and other hydrogeologic characteristics necessary to prepare a Corrective
Action Plan (CAP).

monitoring wells, MW-1, MW-3 and MW-6 to assess ground water conditions.ditions• Prior to
the collection of the ground-water samples, the wells will be purged to remove a
minimum of three well volumes of water to ensure that the samples collected are
representative of the actual conditions. 'Ilse ground-water samples will be collected
immediately after the wells have recharged a sufficient volume of water to allow for the
collection of the samples. The essamples will collected using a decontaminated stainless
steel bailer equipped with a �Y
Mie seven total groundwater samples will be analyzed for VOCs and PNAs.
2. IU PNA samples will be collected into two 1-liter amber bottles and placed into an iced
sample cooler for preservation. MW VOC samples will be collected into two 40-m1 vials
and likewise placed into an iced sample cooler for preservation. The ground-water
samples will be shipped via overnight courier to ESE's laboratory in Peoria, Illinois.
Samples will be analyzed in accordance with USEPA SW-846.
3. Two of the newly installed monitoring wells will have slug tests or bail down tests
performed on them to gather hydrogeological data from the monitoring wells. The
derived information, hydraulic conductivity and ground-water flow velocity, is required
for the CAP. Also, the new monitoring wells and existing monitoring wells (including
MW-S, and MW-6) will be surveyed relative to a site benchmark to establish ground-
water elevations.

APPENDIX A
1.0 EVAWATION OF CONCEPTUAL REMEDIAL ALTERNATIVES
A wide variety of soil remediation techniques can be employed to aid in the cleanup of impacted
MM MWW techniques typically rely on characteristics of the compound to aid in the removal of
due compound from the soil matrices. Compound characteristics such as volatility, solubility,
t+ activity, and biodegradability can be utilized in remedial planning. Enclosed are descriptions of
due various remedistion methods available for soil and ground-water clean-uPs, listing their
advantages and disadvantages as well. Following each method description will be a brief
paragraph summarizing the method's applicability to the Police Station site.
1.1 Excavation and Off-Site Disposal
Physical removal of the soil coupled with transportation to an approved disposal facility can
effectively reduce the soil contaminant levels. Conventional construction equipment is typically
need to excavate the impacted soils. Upon excavation, soil material can either be loaded directly
into dump trucks for transportation to the disposal facility or, should conditions warrant, they can
be stockpiled on-site for subsequent transportation and disposal.
Soils removed from the excavation are screened in the field to determine if cleanup levels have
been reached. Confirmation that the excavation has reached cleanup levels in soils typically
requires the collection and analysis of samples from the excavation on a regularly spaced interval.
Analytical requirements for the closure samples is determined based on the compounds soils to
be present. If results of the sample analyses indicates that the compound
below cleanup levels, then remediation is considered complete and the excavation can be
backf led.
The advantage to this method is that cleanup can be completed in a relatively short period of
time. Ibis method also allows flexibility in that virtually any soil material not subject to RCRA
land ban restrictions can be remediated using this method. 7 his method can also be combined
with other remedial techniques to address the areas of highest contamination, thereby allowing the
Other options to work in a more timely manner.
1Ue primary disadvantage to this method is that treatment of the soil does not occur. The soils
are simply relocated to an approved landfill and disposed. Disposal of the soil also results in a
potential toque liability associated with the use of the disposal facility should the facility be
aubject to environmental reparations. An additional liability exists with the transportation of the
soils to the disposal facility.
Another disadvantage associated with this method is that large volumes of soils for off-site
disposal requires a large number of trucks to transport it. Within residential or commercial
area:,the large number of heavy trucks entering and leaving the site could create a local nuisance
if not a potential safety hazard. 'Ithe heavy volume of truck traffic could also cause additional
road damage.
Costs for excavation and disposal of soil as special waste typically ranges from:60.00 to $80.00
per cubic yard. Mds cost includes excavation, transportation, disposal and backfilling of the
excavation. Variables which can affect the disposal cost include amount of soil to be excavated,
APPENDIX A (CONTINUED)
accessibility for excavating equipment, stockpiling and dmnical analysis, type of bactfhil
material, degree of compaction of backM and transportation distance.
Excavation of sons may be a viable option in the southwest corner of the site because the
soil is relatively shallow and because the excavation could be done quickly, without
baafara ce to the proposed building of the police station. In the northwest and southwest
comers this option may not be viable because of the depth of the contamination.
1.2 Ex-Situ Bioremediation Undfarming)
This option involves the excavation of the contaminated soils and movement to a preselected area
for treatment. At the treatment site, preferably a designated site on the property, the soils would
be mixed with nutrients to enhance biological degradation of the organic contaminants.
Indigenous populations or additional biological solids can be introduced to improve treatment.
The soils are periodically tilled and other nutrients added to complete the biourAment process as
rapidly as possible.
Bloremediation has been shown to be very effective in remediating a wide variety of volatile and
semi-volatile compounds. Ibis method is very effective for use with most petroleum
hydrocarbons compounds. Typically, the longer and the more stable the hydrocarbon chain, the
more difficult the compound is to treat biologically. The more recalcitrant or diffiwh
compounds to degrade will require more time to achieve established cleanup levels assuming that
the cleanup levels are achievable. Generally, bioremediation can result in removal efficiencies of
SO to 99 percent depending on the compounds to be degraded.
Using this option, soils to be treated would be transported to the tree went area and spread into
thin (typically 18 inches) layers or lifts. The soils would generally be mixed or blended in order
to have more uniformly distributed compound concentrations. The soils would then be tilled
periodically using conventional farming implements to senate the soils. Nutrients, consisting
primarily of orthophosphate and ammonium, would be added to the soils during tilling to enhance
the biological activity.
Progress of the bioremediation process would typically be monitored by collecting soil UMPles
for total petroleum hydrocarbon analysis or some other screening test method. Upon
determination that the closure levels have been achieved, the treated soils would be redistributed
on-site. Multiple lifts or layers could be treated in succession using this method as long as
temperature conditions are suitable for biological activity. Depending on initial concentrations,
desired cleanup levels, soil types and climatic conditions, lifts or layers can typically be
effectively treated in two to three months using this method.
Ma advantage to using bioremedisdon is that the cost associated with this method is generally
low compared to other technologies. The contaminants are treated on-site so there is no need to
transport contaminated soils to a landfill. The contaminants are physically broken down not just
moved from one location to another or one medium to another. Also, die equipment needed for
M method is not difficult or expansive to acquire.
The disadvantage is that treatment takes longer to achieve than other methods such as excavation
APPENDIX A (CONTINUED)
and off-site disposal. Mother disadvantage to using this method is that sufficient area is required
for the treatme-M of the contaminated soils. Ibis area must be available for Cream ent purposes
tmdi cleanup is completed. In northern climates, treatment would be likely be Umited to April
elrovib October and should not be attempted between the months of November through March.
The Do=ts for ex-situ bioremediation typically soil b from 0�distance between en theaouroe
Costs can vary depending on the amount of so
and treatment areas and time required to achieve cleanup levels. Generally, the greater the
amount of soil to be treated and the closer the treatment area to the source, the lower the unit
Costs.
Land farming of soils is tune-consuming and would probably require the movement of
contaminated soils off-site, &ready adding to dye cost of the proposed method.
1,3 In-Situ Bioremediation
The process of in-situ bioremediation is similar to ex-situ bioremediation with the primary
difference being that the treatment of the soils occurs below ground or 'in-situ'. This method
relies on the naturally occurring microorganisms to break down the compounds. Nutrients are
added to the impacted soils to stimulate growth of the microorganisms. Also, oxygen will be
added to the system, generally through the addition of peroxide in a liquid solution, or by
physically allowing oxygen in the air to be placed into the system using either a blower or a
vacuum pump connected to vent wells.
The advantages to in-situ bioremediadon is that the system is relatively inexpensive to install and
operate. In-situ remediation can be effective above or below the water table, so some ground-
water ekamp may occur during soil cleanup. Remediation of the subsurface materials can often
be performed without major disruptions to normal site aq tivi&s. Also, in-situ remediation does
not require that contaminated soils be excavated and relocated, thereby, reducing the potential for
accidental spreading of contaminants.
The disadvantages to in-situ bioremediation is that longer time is required to achieve cleanup
levels. Monitoring of system performance is difficuh and usually requires performing soil
borings and laboratory analysis. Also, due to the increased difficulty in getting the oxygen and
nutrients to die microorganisms, removal efficiencies for each contaminant are typically lower
dm if performed ex-situ.
Costs for in-situ bioremediation range from $15.00 to $50.00 per cubic yard. The costs can vary
depending on the volume of soil to be treated, the depth the in-situ system must be installed,
aegiyirenients for hydraulic or physical containment of the injected mixture, the time required to
addeve cleanup and the flow rates for the system. Typically, the greater the volume of soil to be
Weated, the lower the unit costs.
APPENDIX A (CONTMUED)
M Vapr Extradion
Vapor extraction is a process by which a vacuum is applied to the subsurface material to removed from
Naar of air or vapors through the contaminated material. Volatile compounds ace
tine material in the vapor phase by the increased air flow through the system. Remediation is
oondnaned until the volatile components have been removed in the vapor phase.the screened portion of
Vapor extraction syratwns usually consist of a the contanunatedlizone�A vacuum is used
the wells set to concentrate the air flow through
to apply negative pressure to the subsurface material. If needed to ensure an adequate flow of air
through the soil, pressure or injection wells can be installed and air pumped into the soil
material. Mumgh proper designing of the system, the flow through the contaminated soil zone
can be maximized improving the effectiveness of the system.
Advantages to vapor extraction is that the system is typically inexpensive to install and operate.
Remediation of soils can be performed with little intrusion into the subsurface. Contaminated
soil can be remediated in areas where excavation is not possible. Also, facilities can continue to
operate while remediation is performed.
Disadvantages to vapor extraction IS that many compounds have low volatilization rates and
cannot be easily extracted. Typically, compounds with a vapor pressure greater than 0.10
millimeters of mercury (mmHg) am more suitable for use with vapor extraction. The higher the
vapor pressure of the compound the easier the compound will volatilize with the increased air
flow and the quicker remediation will be completed.
Other disadvantages of vapor extraction is that remediation only occurs in the unsaturated zone.
Characteristics of the soil material such as grain size and porosity can limit the effectiveness of
the system. Cleanup can take longer than most intrusive methods. Also, the exhaust from the
system typically requires an air permit and may require treatment prior to discharge to the
environment.
Costs for vapor extraction vary widely. Costs vary depending upon the volume of material to be
treated, the depth and thickness of the stratum to be treated, the hydraulic characteristics of the
material, the number of wells and surface facility complexity and the time required to achieve
Cleanup. Typically. the greater the volume of material to be treated and the ease of removing the
compounds from the material, the lower the cost for remediation.
Vapor extraction would be a viable option for all three sites, especially with the presence of
RM compounds. PNAs, conversely are more diffcuk to remove using this method. This
system is relatively inexpensive to install and operate and could be installed or operated while the
Pbliee Station is under construction.
APPENDIX A (CONTUMM)
1.S 1ba mal Desocption
Thermal desorption or high-temperature thermal stripping, is a process by which toil is excavated
and passed through a unit designed to heat the soil to a high temperature and drive off the
aoa -- hanta. Typically, the soil is heated inside a rotary kiln within the unit, to temperatures up
to l.�pp' Fahrentheit. the contaminants released from the soil are either carried to an
afterburner for destruction, pulled through an activated carbon absorption system or condensed
for product recovery. When the treatment process is completed, the soil may be used as backfhll.
The advantage to thermal treatment is that soil is treated on-site, eliminating the need for and
liabilities associated with off-site disposal. Thermal treatment has proven successful at
mediating contamination to below cleanup objectives for petroleum hydrocarbons. Also, the
UM frame for completing remedisdon is much shorter than other techniques.
The disadvantage to thermal treament is that the cost is higher than other on-site technologies
such as landfarming. Frequently, the soil may require additional sorting and blending to insure
that the input moisture content and contaminant levels are not above a specified range. Also, on-
site treatment would require a permit to operate the unit issued by the IEPA Division of Air
Pollution Control.
Costs for thermal desorption generally range from approximately $30.00 to $150.00 per cubic
yard of soil to be treated. Costs vary depending upon the volume of soil to be treated, amount of
soil preparation required before vestment and the type of emissions treatment required.
Thermal desorption is a fairly expensive procedure that works best on large volume contaminated
areas. Although it is a quick procedure and could be accomplished with no interference to the
building plans, it would be expensive for the volume of contaminated soil present on this site.
1.6 Encapsulation
Encapsulation is a remedial altemRdve in which the contaminants are physically isolated from the
environment. Several encapsulation methods exist and include barrier walls and impermeable
caps. All of these techniques involve the placement of a relatively impermeable barrier around or
above the contaminated zone, thereby limiting the mobility of the contaminants from the zone.
Source areas may be isolated from the environment by a mumber of perimeter control techniques.
These techniques involve creating a physical barrier to chemical movement. Techniques for
a barrier wall include. injection of grout into the subsurface to form an
constructing l le barrier by backfilling a trench with
le subsurface curtain. constructing k � a subsurface barrier wall, or
a thick bentonite slurry, driving interlocking sheet P
1msalliutg synthetic impermeable membranes in trenches which are backfilbd to stabilize
P -
Capping consists of placing a layer of relatively impermeable material over the contaminated soil.
Impermeable caps can be used to limit the amount of water infiltrating trough the contaminated
soil and thereby reducing the amount of contaminants leached to the ground-water. CaPPmg also
reduces the potential of human exposure to the contaminated toil.
APPENDIX A (CONTINUED)
Costs for encapsulation vary greatly depending upon the area to be encapsulated, the depth to
which barrier walls must be constructed and the type of impermeable material used. At most
sties, the cost for barrier wall encapsulation is significant and, therefore, this techaoIM is
typically limited to sites where excavation and disposal is the only other viable opdon.
F.ncapsutation is a moderately expensive alternative which does not really address the long-term
Mane of disposal. Furthermore, it would probably interfere with construction plans.
1.7 Asphalt Incorporation
Another viable soil remediation alternative to landfilling or on-site treatment is to recycle it
through incorporation into asphalt paving material. In this process, sandy soils are preferred
over clay soils, because a high percentage of clay is not desirable in asphalt paving material.
The contaminated soils would be excavated and transported to a asphalt batch plant where it is
auahed and sieved through screens to remove wood, metal and other undesirable debris. The
soil is then passed through a rotary kiln, where it is heated to approximately 350° Fahrenheit,
which evaporates the water and burns the petroleum hydrocarbons. After heating, the soil is
blended with other aggregates and asphalt, and delivered to the paving location. Recycling by
this procedure removes the oorntaminanta from the site, destroys undesirable materials and
provides a valuable construction material.
The cost for asphalt incorporation is approximately $75.00 to $125.00 per ton of contaminated
material. Although this method appears to be a technically viable approach,the costs are not
eompetidve to other options and no known asphalt batch plant is present locally which is
permitted by the IEPA, to accept ootnreminafcd soil.
Because the asphalt incorporation method is cost prohibitive and is currently not permitted locally
by the IEPA, this option is not realistic for this site.
1.E Remedial Options Summary-Ground-Water
Technologies for remcdiadon of ground water include subsurface controls to prevent the
movement of ground-water, in-situ tr Mmit: and ground-water extraction technologies. If
ground water extraction technologies are utilized, there are a number of treatment and discharge
alternatives to remove chemicals from the ground-water and discharge the treated ground-water.
1.5.1 In-situ Options
Subsurface controls include air sparging,barrier walls, bottom sealing and permeable treatment
bed:. Subsurface controls can be used to encapsulate source arras and, on a larger scale, can be
used to oonaol ground water movement.
APPENDIX A (CONTINUED)
1.8.2 Air Sparpng
An emerging, new tedhnology for in-situ soil and ground-water remediation is air sparging. The
aystan is frequently combined with vapor extraction into a remedial operation. The teditique
forne=air under pressure through a series of ground-water wells in the saturated zone. Tbe
released air bubbles enhance contaminant desorption and bioremediation of the ground water unit.
Since Temediation of the dissolved phase contaminants by traditional pump and treat approaches is
hampered by releases of adsorbed materials, the air sparging technique is considered an
improvement for ground-water remediation. As the released air strips the ground-water in place,
a vapor extraction system can capture the gas phase material and remove the contaminants from
the soils at the site. Thus, the combined system effectively addresses multi-media contamination.
Air gWgmg in combination with vapor extraction would probably be a useful remedistion
technique for this site. The costs are relatively inexpensive and there would be minimal
interference with the building of the Police Station; however, once the building is constructed the
system may have to be shut down.
1.83 Barrier Walls
This method involves the installation of relatively impermeable material in the subsurface to
inhibit further migration of contamminants.
Barrier walls include slurry wails and sheet pilings.
For source area control, barrier walls can be used to prevent high concentrations of contaminants
from migrating away from source cress. In general, static barriers provide only temporary
pollution containment. In time, ground-water can flow around, under or over all barriers. 'Thus,
ground water extraction wells are required in conjunction with most barrier systems.
Barrier walls would probably not be a cost-effective option in terms of remediation.
Furthermore, the physical barriers provided would probably interfere with construction plans.
1.8.4 Bottom Sealing
Bottom sealing is a source area remedial measure. Bottom sealing h designed to prevent the
verdeal migration of chemicals by injecting grout through closely spaced wells to form a grout
blanket beneath the contaminated zone. ibis technology is generally suited for small source
areas confined to the unsaturated soil zone.
Bottom sealing requires many wells for grout injection. Also, It is difficult to insure that a
oompJm seal is formed. This technique is still in the experimental stages of development and
steeds additional study to verify effectiveness.
Because bottom sealing is still in its experimenal stages, it would be too risky to set up On site
a: an experiment for the method.
MS Permeable Treatmmt Eats
APPENDIX A (CONTMMD)
permeable treatment beds are typically a source control remedial measure for shallow ground-
WSW. Permeable treatment beds consist of a trench across the migration pathway of the
oontanhinated ground water and are balled with a media for removal of the contamination.
IU tr+estment beds can be constructed of either granular activated carbon (GAC) or ion exchange
resins. Contaminated ground-water flows through the beds and the chemicals ate captured by
reaction with the exchange resin or by sorption on the GAC.
The advantage of treatment beds is that contaminated ground-water does not need to be extracted
for treatment. The disadvantage of treatment beds are technical uncertainties and cost. Under
field conditions, it is uncertain what the chemical saturation characteristics of the beds will be.
Under certain circumstances, desorption of chemicals from the beds may occur. Silting of the
beds is also a concern. As a result, extensive ground-water monitoring is required to evaluate
the effectiveness of the system.
Although the permeable treatment bed method is sound in theory, the technical uncertainties and
costs make it risky as a method for this site.
1.9 Ground-Water Extraction And Treatment
Remediation of a contaminated aquifer can be achieved by installing a system of ground-water
extraction wells or interceptor trenches to capture and remove the impacted ground-water. The
extraction wells or trenches are generally installed at locations such that, when pumped at a pre-
determined rate, will capture and contain the contaminant plume. Once extracted, the ground-
water can be treated by one of several possible treatment methods.
An effective ground-water extraction system requires a thorough understanding of the site specific
hydrogeologic conditions so that the flow of contaminated ground-water is directed towards the
extraction system and is prevented from migrating into unaffected areas. Extraction technologies
have been used extensively in the field and, although they have proven very successful in
maintaining hydraulic containment of contaminants, they have proven less effective at removal of
the contaminants. Two basic approaches to ground-water extraction are generally employed:
(1) a downgradiem interceptor trench or line of extraction wells placed across the migration
pathway of the contaminant plume, and: (2) a series of wells located along the longitudinal axis
Of the plume.
Frequently, at a site where a shallow water table aquifer has been impacted and excavation of
contaminated soil must be performed, de-watering of the excavation can prove to be effective at
rpnediating oontatninattd ground water. This method of ground-water remediation consists of
excavating the contaminated soil material to depths below the water table and de-watering die
=ovation. lbrough this method, both the impacted ground-water and the impacted aquifer
Material. are removed. The ground water removed from the excavation can be treated in one of
the following treatment methods.
Several technologies mist for treating ground water contaminated with petrolvi m hydrocarbons.
The technologies identified for potential evaluation for use at The City of Elgin Pblice Station site
in Elgin, Illinois inchWC:
APPENDIX A (CO )
• Air Stripping • Chemical Oxidation
• Carbon Absorption • Catalysis-Fret Radical Oxidation
• Land Application • Biological Treatment
• Reverse Osmosis • Off-Site Treatment
Air stripping is a viable and proven option for removal of BETX and PNA compounds from
ground water. This technology is capable of removing these volatile organic compounds to
non-detectable levels. The volatile compounds removed from the ground-water are discharged to
the atmosphere. Typically, most air strippers are compatible with air pollution control equipment
should treatment of the vapor emissions be required.
Carbon absorption is another viable option for removal of BETX and PNA compounds to non-
detectable levels. Carbon absorption is typically more expensive than air stripping even when air
emission controls are required for air stripping. The exception is at very low flow rates with low
dhemical loading and a short duration of operation.
Land application is a technically viable option for removal of the BETX and PNA compounds.
This technique involves spraying the contaminated ground-water over the ground where it is
allowed to infiltrate back into the water table. Removal efficiencies up to 85% are frequently
obtained with this method.
Reverse osmosis is a viable option for treating the BETX and PNA compounds. This technology
could potentially remove compounds to greater than 95 S efficiency. Annual operation and
maintenance costs are much higher than for other methods.
Chemical oxidation involves the use of chemicals to aher a compound to a less toxic or non-toxic
compound(s). For volatile compounds, peroxide or ozone are typically used to oxidize the
organic compounds. Either oxidant will effectively treat the ground-water contaminants but at an
elevated cost per concentration. Ibis technique would be more effective as a secondary
treatment system at sites where additional treatment is required to achieve cleanup.
Catalysis-free radical oxidation, or W light oxidation, also breaks the compounds down to less
toxic or non-toxic compounds. This method has proven very effective at treating organic
compounds to low levels. This technique is energy intensive and is normally used in conjunction
with another treatment technology. Catalysis-free radical oxidation units are generally difficult to
maintain and expensive to operate as a stand alone treatment method.
Biological treatment is a viable option for treating biodegradable organic compounds such as
BETX and PNAs. As previously descri bed, the organic compounds are used as a food source for
asicxoorganisms. The microorganisms convert the complex organic compounds info water,
carbon 6oxide and aellmWerial or biomass. This approach could be effective if combined with
reh&cdon of the treated water but is hampered by state ground water.concerns. However, this
method could potentially be used in conjunction with bioremediation of oor --nninaoed soils.
APPENDIX A (CONTINUED)
off-Site uwwnent is another technology which cold potentially be used. 'This Method Consists of
Collecting the contaminated ground-water and transporting it to an off-site facility for treatment.
Wcally, this method of remediation is more expensive than others and is not f eVently used.
Gromd-water extraction and treatment is a viable option for this site, especially air stripping
becSM of the types of compounds involved. Many of these extraction methods can be put into
operation without disruption of the proposed construction plans.
