Executive Summary
Dense, nonaqueous-phase liquid (DNAPL) contaminants are a challenge to charac-
terize and remediate at many sites where such contaminants have entered the
aquifer due to past use or disposal practices. Chlorinated solvents, comprised of
chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs), such as trichloroethylene (TCE)
and perchloroethylene (PCE), are common DNAPL contaminants at sites where
operations, such as aircraft maintenance, dry cleaning, metal finishing, and electron-
ics manufacturing historically have occurred. In the past, because of the difficulty in
identifying DNAPL source zones, most remediation efforts focused on controlling the
migration of dissolved CVOC plumes. In recent years, many site owners have experi-
enced success in locating DNAPL sources. DNAPL source remediation is thought to
be beneficial because once the source has been significantly mitigated, the strength
and duration of the resulting plume can potentially be lowered in the long term, and
sometimes in the short or intermediate term as well.
The Interagency DNAPL Consortium
The Interagency DNAPL Consortium (IDC) was formally established in 1999 by the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.
EPA), Department of Defense (DoD), and National Aeronautics and Space Admini-
stration (NASA) as a vehicle for marshalling the resources required to test innovative
technologies that promise technical and economic advantages in DNAPL remedi-
ation. The IDC is advised by a Technical Advisory Group comprised of experts drawn
from academia, industry, and government. The IDC and other supporting organiza-
tions facilitate technology transfer to site owners/managers through dissemination of
the demonstration plans and results, presentations at public forums, a Web site, and
visitor days at the site.
Demonstration Site and Technology
In 1998, a preliminary site characterization was conducted by Westinghouse Savan-
nah River Company at Launch Complex 34 in Cape Canaveral, FL. The results indi-
cated the presence of a sizable DNAPL source consisting primarily of TCE. Based on
these results, the IDC selected this site for demonstrating three DNAPL remediation
technologies. The surficial aquifer at this site approximately between 5 to 45 ft bgs.
This aquifer can be subdivided into three stratigraphic unitsthe Upper Sand Unit,
the Middle Fine-Grained Unit, and the Lower Sand Unit. Although the Middle Fine-
Grained Unit is a conspicuous hydraulic barrier, a Lower Clay Unit underlying the
surficial aquifer acts as an aquitard and appears to be pervasive throughout the dem-
onstration area, although it is only up to 3 ft thick. The hydraulic gradient in the surfi-
cial aquifer is relatively flat. The native aquifer contains relatively high levels of
chloride and total dissolved solids (TDS).

-------
For the demonstration, the TCE-DNAPL source zone was divided into three demon-
stration plots, each 75 ft x 50 ft in size, for testing three technologiesin situ
chemical oxidation (ISCO), resistive heating, and steam injection/extraction (SI/E).
Each plot was separated from the next by 15 ft, and about 15 ft of each plot extended
under the Engineering Support Building. SI/E was selected because it had the poten-
tial to heat the aquifer and move TCE-DNAPL to extraction wells. ISCO and resistive
heating were tested concurrently between September 1999 and April/July 2000 in the
two outer plots, which are separated by about 80 ft. Subsequently, SI/E was tested in
the middle plot, between July and December 2001.
The IDC contracted MSE Technology Applications, Inc., to conduct the vendor selec-
tion and subcontracting for the three technologies, as well as for tracking the costs of
the demonstration. Integrated Water Resources, Inc. (IWR), the vendor selected for
implementing steam injection at Launch Complex 34, applied a patented version of
the technology called Dynamic Underground Stripping and Hydrous Pyrolysis/Oxida-
tion (DUS/HPO). In this application, air was co-injected with the steam to keep vola-
tilized TCE suspended in the vapor phase until removed by the extraction system in
order to prevent downward migration of TCE-DNAPL through the relatively thin
aquitard.
Performance Assessment
The IDC contracted Battelle in 1998 to plan and conduct the technical and economic
performance assessment of the three technologies. The U.S. EPA Superfund Inno-
vative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program provided quality assurance (QA) over-
sight and field support for the performance assessment. Before the field application
of the steam injection technology, Battelle prepared a Quality Assurance Project Plan
(QAPP) or test plan (Battelle, 2001 c) that was reviewed by all the project stake-
holders.
This report describes the results of the performance assessment of the steam injec-
tion technology. The objectives of the performance assessment were to:
Estimate the change in TCE-DNAPL mass reduction.
Evaluate changes in aquifer quality.
Evaluate the fate of the TCE-DNAPL removed from the steam injection plot.
Verify steam injection operating requirements and costs.
Estimating the TCE-DNAPL mass reduction in the SI/E demonstration plot was the
primary objective of the demonstration in terms of resources expended for planning,
data gathering, and interpretation; the other three were secondary, but important,
objectives.
In February 1999, Battelle conducted the preliminary characterization of the TCE-
DNAPL source region on the northwest side of the Engineering Support Building.
This characterization provided preliminary TCE-DNAPL mass estimates and aquifer
data to support the vendor's design of the technology application and provided data
on the spatial variability of the TCE-DNAPL. In December 2000, a detailed pre-
demonstration characterization of the steam injection plot was conducted to initiate
the performance assessment of the steam injection technology. From July 19, 2001
to December 28, 2001, when the steam injection field application was conducted,
Battelle collected subsurface data to monitor the progress of the demonstration; the
vendor collected additional aboveground data to aid in the operation of the tech-
nology. In February 2002, the post-demonstration assessment of the steam injection
plot was conducted after all parts of the aquifer had cooled to 90ฐC or less.

-------
Change in TCE-DNAPL Mass
Detailed soil sampling was used as the main tool for determining changes in TCE-
DNAPL mass in the demonstration plot. The spatial distribution data forTCE from the
pre-demonstration characterization were used to determine a statistically significant
number and location of soil samples required to obtain adequate coverage of the
SI/E plot. A systematic unaligned sampling scheme was used to conduct pre- and
post-demonstration soil coring at 12 locations in a 4 x 3 grid in the demonstration
plot. Continuous soil samples were collected at every 2-ft vertical interval in each
core, resulting in approximately 300 soil samples in the steam injection plot during
pre- and post-demonstration characterization. A vertical section (approximately 150 g
of wet soil) from each 2-ft interval was collected and extracted with methanol in the
field; the methanol extract was sent to a certified off-site laboratory for analysis. In
this manner, the entire soil column was analyzed from ground surface to aquitard
(Lower Clay Unit), at most coring locations. In some coring locations, drilling did not
extend entirely to the depth of the aquitard to avoid advancing through to the aquifer
below.
Special steps were taken during the post-demonstration soil sampling to cool the
retrieved cores and to minimize volatilization losses from the hot soil. Achievement of
good recovery of TCE from both hot and cold soil cores using the improved field
handling and extraction procedures was verified through spiking and extraction of a
surrogate compound in selected soil cores. Evaluation of the soil cooling and extrac-
tion method at Launch Complex 34 showed between 84 and 113% spike recovery
was possible with this sampling method.
The TCE concentrations (mg/kg of dry soil) obtained by this method were considered
"total TCE." The portion of the total TCE that exceeded a conservative threshold con-
centration of 300 mg/kg was considered "DNAPL." This threshold was determined as
the maximum TCE concentration in the dissolved and adsorbed phases in the
Launch Complex 34 soil; any TCE concentration exceeding this threshold would be
DNAPL.
An evaluation of the change in TCE-DNAPL mass reduction by soil sample analyses
indicated the following:
Simple linear interpolation of the TCE results after the application of SI/E
showed that the total TCE mass estimated to be present within the plot prior to
the demonstration decreased by 85% and the DNAPL mass decreased by
approximately 89%.
Kriging, a geostatistical tool which takes into account the uncertainties associ-
ated with interpolation of spatial TCE distribution data, indicated that the total
TCE mass within the demonstration plot decreased between 80 and 90%
following the SI/E treatment.
TCE mass reduction was apparent in most parts of the demonstration plot.
Much of the remaining TCE-DNAPL in the demonstration plot after the demon-
stration was at the base of the aquifer, right above the Lower Clay Unit. This
may have been a difficult location for the steam to access because the density
differential between steam and groundwater would cause the steam to migrate
vertically upward away from the Lower Clay Unit. In addition, the steam injec-
tion wells did not extend to the Lower Clay Unit. Minor pockets of TCE-DNAPL
remained in shallower parts of the aquifer under the Engineering Support
Building and near the northwestern end of the demonstration plot.
Battelle vii September 2003
-------
Changes in Aquifer Quality
In order to maintain hydraulic control and mitigate potential migration of DNAPL from
the plot, the vendor maintained an aggressive groundwater extraction rate of 22 gpm
along the boundary of the steam injection plot. During the course of the demonstra-
tion, the vendor extracted a total of 4,013,588 gal of water (equivalent to approxi-
mately 11 pore volumes of the demonstration plot), including approximately
372,473 gal of steam condensate. Water entering the steam injection plot from the
surrounding aquifer may have affected the TCE levels measured in the demon-
stration plot wells because portions of the aquifer surrounding the demonstration plot
remain contaminated with TCE-DNAPL. Other groundwater parameters which are
considered key indicators of TCE destruction, such as chloride and alkalinity, also
may have been affected by the hydraulic controls. Except for TCE and other chlori-
nated volatile organic compound (CVOCs), the vendor did not measure any of the
other groundwater parameters in the extracted water above ground. Therefore, it was
difficult to discern strong trends in groundwater parameters that would be traceable
to SI/E.
Application of the SI/E technology showed the following changes in the treated
aquifer:
Dissolved TCE concentrations decreased in some wells in the SI/E plot, but
increased in other wells that were relatively clean before the SI/E demonstra-
tion, probably due to influx of permanganate from the ISCO plot. In all wells in
the SI/E plot, TCE levels in groundwater were still relatively high after steam
treatment and much higher than the State of Florida groundwater cleanup
standard of 3 ug/L. In addition to the DNAPL remaining in the steam plot itself,
another reason for the persistence of elevated TCE levels in the plot wells may
be the large influx of groundwater from the surrounding aquifer.
Levels of c/s-1,2-dichloroethylene (c/s-1,2-DCE) rose in some steam plot wells,
but declined in others. The c/s-1,2-DCE levels also may have been affected by
influx of water from the surrounding aquifer. However, some of the groundwater
and soil parameters taken together do indicate heightened microbial activity in
the demonstration plot. Total organic carbon (TOC) levels in the soil and
biological oxygen demand (BOD) levels in the groundwater declined after treat-
ment, indicating that carbon sources in the aquifer were being depleted. This
could be due to both biotic and abiotic causes. Hydrous pyrolysis/oxidation of
the TCE and c/s-1,2-DCE, as well as other organic matter in the aquifer, is one
of the removal mechanisms claimed by the steam technology vendor.
The microbial count results showed that although microbial populations declined
somewhat after the steam injection, much of the microbial community survived
the heating and may have been increasingly active at moderate to high temper-
atures (given the TOC and BOD depletion in the aquifer).
Probably as a result of the large influx of groundwater from the surrounding
aquifer, none of the other measured groundwater parameters (such as chloride,
sodium, calcium, alkalinity, etc.) showed any discernible trends attributable to
SI/E.
Fate of TCE-DNAPL Reduction Mass in the Demonstration Plot
The decrease in TCE-DNAPL mass from the plot following the demonstration could
have taken one or more of the following pathways:
Battelle viii September 2003
-------
TCE recovery in the vapor recovery system. The vendor reported that between
5,200 and 9,700 kg (7,400 ฑ2,200 kg) of TCE was measured in the recovered
vapor and groundwater. The estimated pre-demonstration TCE mass in the
steam injection plot before the demonstration was between 11,150 and
14,150 kg of TCE. However, the source of the TCE recovered above ground by
the vendor is unclear. It is possible that some dissolved TCE was drawn into
the extracted water from the surrounding aquifer, parts of which are in untreated
DNAPL source areas.
* TCE degradation by biotic or abiotic means. It is possible that some of the TCE
was degraded to other products due to SI/E. There is some evidence of height-
ened microbial activity in the steam injection plot at the elevated temperatures
observed during the demonstration. Also, hydrous pyrolysis/oxidation of the
TCE at elevated temperatures is one of the claims of SI/E technology, although
this was not verified. No measurable buildup of expected degradation products,
such as chloride, alkalinity, or c/s-1,2-DCE, was observed; this may have been
due to the masking effect of extracted groundwater from outside the plot. There
was no noticeable buildup of expected degradation products due to any of these
mechanisms, possibly due to the diluting effect of 11 pore volumes of water
extracted from the plot and the surrounding aquifer.
DNAPL migration to surrounding regions. The possibility of DNAPL migration
from the steam injection plot to surrounding regions is minimal. The hydraulic
containment maintained by the vendor was relatively strong (an average of
22 gpm of water was extracted by the vendor along the boundaries of the plot).
Therefore, it is unlikely that any DNAPL migrated to the surrounding aquifer,
despite the expected reduction in surface tension of the DNAPL due to heating.
No elevated TCE concentrations were found in the vadose zone soil samples
collected during post-demonstration soil coring. No elevated TCE levels or
elevated temperatures were apparent in the confined aquifer wells below the
steam injection plot, once the steam injection demonstration began. Also, the
continuous pumping (22 gpm) in the surficial aquifer may have exerted an
upward gradient across the Lower Clay Unit. TCE levels were slightly elevated
above background levels in the surface emission tests conducted on the ground
around the plenum, indicating that the recovery system may have been
underdesigned. Most of the vaporized TCE appears to have been recovered in
the vapor recovery system.
Potential TCE losses during post-demonstration sampling of hot soil cores. The
potential for TCE loss through this pathway is minimal. The hot soil cores were
cooled to ambient temperature in the sleeves they were brought to the ground
surface in. Recoveries of 84 to 113% of a surrogate compound spiked into the
hot and cold soil cores were achieved during tests conducted to verify the field
sampling and extraction procedures.
Therefore, despite some uncertainties created by the large influx of groundwater into
the SI/E plot, it is likely that much of the TCE reduction in the plot was recovered
above ground in the vapor recovery system. It is unclear how much of the TCE in the
SI/E plot was degraded in situ, due to the steam application. The TCE recovered
aboveground was ultimately recovered on the GAG or destroyed in the thermal
oxidize r.
Verifying Operating Requirements
Mobilization and setup of the steam injection equipment at the Launch Complex 34
site commenced on April 23, 2001 and continued until July 6, 2001. A helium tracer
test was conducted in the SI/E plot between June 28 and July 13, 2001 to evaluate
the injection characteristics of the aquifer. SI/E started on July 19, 2001 and was
Battelle ix September 2003
-------
operational more or less continuously until December 20, 2001. The vapor recovery
system remained on until December 28 before it was shut down. There was a brief
interruption to the SI/E system between December 1 and 9 because of a malfunction
in the thermal oxidizer. The thermal oxidizer was used to treat the CVOC vapors in
the effluent from the air stripper, which was treating the extracted groundwater and
steam condensate. The SI/E system was demobilized between January 7 and
January 25, 2002.
For the most part, the SI/E equipment operated smoothly and, once in the field, oper-
ations progressed relatively smoothly. Operators wore Level D personal protective
equipment. Operation of heavy equipment (during mobilization and demobilization)
and handling of hot fluids and surfaces were the primary hazards during the opera-
tion. There were no injuries during the demonstration. Monitoring wells inside the
demonstration plot were sealed and were not sampled until the aquifer had cooled to
below 90ฐC.
Economics
The economic evaluation involved a comparison of the short-term SI/E technology
with an equivalent pump-and-treat system. An equivalent pump-and treat system is
one that captures the groundwater flowing through the 75-ft x 50-ft x 45-ft demon-
stration plot. A present value (PV) analysis was used to compare the two systems.
The total cost of the SI/E application at Launch Complex 34 was $1,201,000. This
total cost includes $55,100 for waste disposal, incurred by NASA. The estimated PV
of an equivalent pump-and-treat system (2-gpm capacity) is $1,406,000, over
30 years of operation.
This analysis indicates that the SI/E technology is cost competitive with a pump-and-
treat system. However, for a true economic comparison, some other factors may
need to be considered. Most DNAPL sources, and the resulting plumes, are
expected to last much longer than 30 years. This would increase the cost of a slow
plume containment remedy, such as a pump-and-treat system. In addition, the cost
analysis assumes that the pump-and-treat system will be operational 100% of the
time. At many sites, however, system downtime has resulted in pump-and-treat-
systems being operational as little as 50% of the time. This would affect the protec-
tiveness of the remedy and the associated cost.
The short-term cost of SI/E application assumes that natural attenuation would be
sufficient to address any residual source. Following field application, SI/E and natural
attenuation require none of the aboveground structures, recurring operational costs,
and maintenance that pump-and-treat systems require. In general, the economics
favor DNAPL source treatment over a pump-and-treat system at this site.
Site characterization costs were not included in the cost comparison because a good
design of either a source treatment (e.g., SI/E) or plume control (e.g., pump-and-treat
treatment) remedial action would require approximately the same degree of charac-
terization. The site characterization conducted by Battelle in February 1999 is typical
of the characterization effort that may be required for delineating a 75-ft x 50-ft x
45-ft DNAPL source; the cost of this effort was $255,000, which included a work
plan, 12 continuous soil cores to 45 ft bgs, installation of 36 monitoring wells, field
sampling, laboratory analysis of samples, field parameter measurements, hydraulic
testing, data analysis, and reporting.

Regulatory and Administrative Considerations
DNAPL source remediation, in general, and SI/E, in particular, is a treatment option
that may result in risk reduction under certain conditions through removal of DNAPL
from the subsurface. Contaminant mass reduction and, to a minimal extent, toxicity
reduction resulted from the TCE extraction and its possible degradation in the aquifer
due to SI/E treatment.
Although the eventual target for the Launch Complex 34 aquifer is meeting Florida
state-mandated groundwater cleanup goals (3 u,g/L of TCE, 70 u,g/L of c/s-1,2-DCE,
and 1 u,g/L of vinyl chloride), the Technical Advisory Group recommended a more
feasible and economically viable goal of 90% reduction of DNAPL mass within the
treatment plot. From the experience of the demonstration, it appears that, at least
from the site owner's perspective, three types of cleanup goals may be envisioned
for source remediationa short-term goal, an intermediate-term goal, and a long-
term goal. At Launch Complex 34, the short-term goal of the cleanup was at least
90% reduction of the DNAPL mass, and was the immediate goal given to the
technology vendors. Although the reduction of DNAPL mass was observed in the
SI/E plot, TCE concentrations in groundwater did not decrease below the state-
mandated goal of 3 u,g/L. However, given the high concentrations of TCE in ground-
water across the site prior to the demonstration, the 3 u,g/L target cleanup goal may
be difficult to meet in the short term unless most of the residual DNAPL mass is
removed. In addition, the large influx of groundwater (11 pore volumes) from the
surrounding contaminated aquifer may have masked some of the TCE reduction
caused by the SI/E treatment.
On the other hand, there was some evidence of heightened microbial activity in the
demonstration plot. If this increased microbial activity continues while the aquifer is
still warm (cooling to ambient temperatures is expected to take several months), it is
possible that TCE degradation will occur, and that a weakened plume will result in
the intermediate term (i.e., a few years after the source treatment). Therefore, there
is a possibility that the source treatment, in conjunction with natural attenuation (or
other plume control measure, if necessary), would allow cleanup targets to be met at
a downgradient compliance point (e.g., property boundary). With source treatment,
meeting groundwater cleanup targets is likely to be an intermediate-term goal,
rather than short-term, goal.
The long-term goal of source treatment would be faster dismantling of any interim
plume control remedy (pump-and-treat or other treatment) that may be implemented
to meet groundwater cleanup targets at the compliance point. Faster dismantling of
any interim remedy is likely to result from the fact that DNAPL mass reduction would
hasten the eventual depletion of the TCE source.

1. Introduction
This project was a demonstration of the steam injec-
tion/extraction (SI/E) technology for remediation of a
dense, nonaqueous-phase liquid (DNAPL) source zone
at Launch Complex 34, Cape Canaveral Air Force Sta-
tion, FL.
1.1 Project Background
The goal of this project was to evaluate the cost and
performance of the SI/E technology for remediation of
DNAPL source zones. SI/E was demonstrated at Launch
Complex 34, where the chlorinated volatile organic com-
pound (CVOC) trichloroethylene (TCE) is present in the
aquifer as a DNAPL. Smaller amounts of dissolved cis-
1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE) and vinyl chloride also are
present in the groundwater as a result of the natural
degradation of TCE.
Field application of the technology started in July 2001
and ended in December 2001. Performance assessment
activities were conducted before, during, and after the
demonstration.
1.1.1 The Interagency DNAPL Consortium
The steam injection demonstration was part of a larger
demonstration of three different DNAPL remediation
technologies completed at Launch Complex 34 with the
combined resources of several U.S. government agen-
cies. The government agencies participating in this effort
have formed the Interagency DNAPL Consortium (IDC).
The IDC is composed primarily of the following agencies,
which are providing the majority of the funding for the
demonstration:
Department of Energy (DOE), Environmental
Management 50 (EM50) Program
United States Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S. EPA), Superfund Innovative Technology
Evaluation (SITE) Program
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA)
Department of Defense (DoD), Naval Facilities
Engineering Service Center (NFESC).
In the initial stages of the project, until January 2000, the
Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) was the DoD
representative on this consortium and provided signifi-
cant funding. NFESC replaced AFRL in March 2000.
In addition, the following organizations are participating
in the demonstration by reviewing project plans and data
documents, funding specific tasks, and/or promoting
technology transfer:
Patrick Air Force Base
U.S. EPA, R.S. Kerr Environmental Research
Center (RSKERC)
Interstate Technology Regulatory Council (ITRC).
Key representatives of the various agencies constituting
the IDC have formed a Core Management Team, which
guides the progress of the demonstration. An independ-
ent Technical Advisory Group has been formed to advise
the Core Management Team on the technical aspects of
the site characterization and selection, remediation tech-
nology selection and demonstration, and the perform-
ance assessment of the technologies. The Technical
Advisory Group consists of experts drawn from industry,
academia, and government.
The IDC contracted MSE Technology Applications, Inc.
(MSE), to conduct technology vendor selection, procure
the services of the three selected technology vendors,
and conduct the cost evaluation of the three technolo-
gies. Integrated Water Resources, Inc. (IWR) was the
vendor selected for implementing the steam injection
technology at Launch Complex 34. IT Corporation and
Current Environmental Solutions (CES) were the vendors
for the in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) (also known as
chemical oxidation) and electrical resistive heating (also
known as SPH) technologies, respectively. In addi-
tion, the IDC also contracted Westinghouse Savannah
River Company (WSRC) to conduct the preliminary site
Battelle

-------
characterization for site selection, and Florida State
University to coordinate site preparation and onsite field
management. Figure 1-1 summarizes the project organi-
zation for the IDC demonstration.
1.1.2 Performance Assessment
The IDC contracted Battelle to plan, conduct, and report
on the detailed site characterization at Launch Complex
34 and perform an independent performance assess-
ment for the demonstration of the three technologies.
U.S. EPA and its contractor TetraTech EM, Inc., pro-
vided quality assurance (QA) oversight and field support
for the pre-demonstration performance assessment
activities. Before the field demonstration, Battelle pre-
pared a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) that was
reviewed by all the project stakeholders. This QAPP was
based on the general guidelines provided by the U.S.
EPA's SITE Program for test plan preparation, quality
assurance, and data analysis (Battelle, 2001 c).

1.1.3 The SITE Program
The performance assessment planning, field implemen-
tation, and data analysis and reporting for the steam
injection demonstration followed the general guidance
provided by the U.S. EPA's SITE Program. The SITE
Program was established by U.S. EPA's Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response and the Office of
Research and Development in response to the 1986
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, which
recognized a need for an "Alternative or Innovative
Treatment Technology Research and Demonstration
Program." ORD's National Risk Management Research
Laboratory in the Land Remediation and Pollution Con-
trol Division (LRPCD), headquartered in Cincinnati, OH,
administers the SITE Program. The SITE Program en-
courages the development and implementation of (1)
innovative treatment technologies for hazardous waste
site remediation and (2) innovative monitoring and mea-
surement tools.
In the SITE Program, a field demonstration is used to
gather engineering and cost data on the innovative tech-
nology so that potential users can assess the technology's
applicability to a particular site. Data collected during the
field demonstration are used to assess the performance
of the technology, the potential need for preprocessing
and post-processing of the waste, applicable types of
wastes and waste matrices, potential operating problems,
and approximate capital and operating costs.
U.S. EPA provides guidelines on the preparation of an
Innovative Technology Evaluation Report at the end of
the field demonstration. These reports evaluate all avail-
able information on the technology, and analyze its over-
all applicability to other site characteristics, waste types,
and waste matrices. The reports also include testing pro-
cedures, performance and cost data, and quality assur-
ance and quality standards. This IDC report on the
steam injection technology demonstration at Launch
Complex 34 is based on these general guidelines.
1.2 The DNAPL Problem
Figure 1-2 illustrates the formation of a DNAPL source at
a chlorinated solvent release site. When solvent is
released into the ground due to previous use or disposal
practices, it travels downward under gravitational force
through the vadose zone to the water table. Because
many chlorinated solvents are denser than water, the
solvent continues its downward migration through the
saturated zone (assuming sufficient volume of solvent is
involved) until it encounters a low-permeability layer or
aquitard, on which it may form a pool. During its down-
ward migration, the solvent leaves a trace of residual
solvent in the soil pores. Many chlorinated solvents are

only sparingly soluble in water; therefore, they can per-
sist as a separate phase for several years (or decades).
This free-phase solvent is called DNAPL.
DNAPL in pools often can be mobilized toward extrac-
tion wells when a strong hydraulic gradient is imposed;
this solvent is called mobile DNAPL. In contrast, residual
DNAPL is DNAPL trapped in pores that cannot be mobi-
lized toward extraction wells, regardless of the strength
of the applied gradient. Residual DNAPLs form as DNAPL
pools and may partially dissolve in the groundwater flow
over time, leaving behind residual DNAPL in the soil
structure. At most sites, DNAPL pools are rare; DNAPL
is often present in residual form.
As long as DNAPL is present in the aquifer, a plume of
dissolved solvent is generated. DNAPL therefore consti-
tutes a secondary source that keeps replenishing the
plume long after the primary source (leaking above-
ground or buried drums, drain pipes, vadose zone soil,
etc.) has been removed. Because DNAPL persists for
many decades or centuries, the resulting plume also per-
sists for many years. As recently as five years ago,
DNAPL sources were difficult to find, and most remedial
approaches focused on plume treatment or plume con-
trol. In recent years, efforts to identify DNAPL sources
have been successful at many chlorinated solvent-
contaminated sites. The focus is now shifting from plume
control to DNAPL source removal or treatment.
Pump-and-treat systems have been the conventional
treatment approach at DNAPL sites and these systems
have proved useful as an interim remedy to control the
progress of the plume beyond a property boundary
or other compliance point. However, pump-and-treat
Battelle

-------
systems may not be economical for remediation of the
DNAPL itself. Pools of DNAPL, which can be pumped
and treated above ground, are rare. Residual DNAPL is
immobile and does not migrate toward extraction wells.
As with plume control, the effectiveness and cost of
DNAPL remediation with pump and treat is governed by
the time (decades) required for slow dissolution of the
DNAPL source in the groundwater flow. An innovative
approach is required to address the DNAPL problem.
1.3 Steam Injection Technology
The introduction of heat to the subsurface produces a
wide variety of physical and chemical effects beneficial
for the breakdown or removal of DNAPL contaminants in
both saturated and unsaturated subsurface materials:
Decreased viscosities, which in turn leads to
increased mobility
Increased volatility
Distillation
Hydrous pyrolysis and oxidation (HPO)
Increased diffusion rates.
The SI/E process removes DNAPL using a combination
of volatilization, steam stripping, and oxidation. The SI/E
process also removes DNAPL through enhanced extrac-
tion, which occurs as the solubility of DNAPL increases
and viscosity decreases as a result of the applied heat.
The process is controlled through timing, placement, and
depth of stream injection and vacuum extraction wells,
and (as necessary) the placement of in-borehole elec-
trodes for electrical heating.
The steam stripping system uses boilers to generate
steam that then is pumped into injection wells at the
center of the plot. The steam-front volatilizes and mobi-
lizes the contaminants as it moves toward a network of
vertical and/or horizontal vapor extraction wells located
at the periphery of the plot (see Figure 1-3). The vapors
are condensed and the effluent air stream is discharged
after being treated with a thermal oxidizer.
The steam injection system installed at Launch Complex
34 was designed to include the co-injection of air. The
co-injection of air with the steam creates a broader ther-
mal front that can contain a larger volume of contami-
nant-saturated air. The air/steam mixture reduces the
injection temperatures to the subsurface, and the co-
injected air simultaneously increases the carrying capac-
ity of contaminant in vapor. The optimal ratio of air to
steam is based on expected concentration of contami-
nant, and the vapor pressure of the contaminant.

1.4 Demonstration Site
1.5 Report Outline
Launch Complex 34, the site selected for this demon-
stration, is located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station,
FL (see Figure 1-4). Launch Complex 34 was used as a
rocket launch site for the Saturn space program from
1960 to 1968. Historical records and worker accounts
suggest that rocket engines were cleaned on the launch
pad with chlorinated organic solvents such as TCE.
Other rocket parts were cleaned on racks at the western
portion of the Engineering Support Building and inside
the building. Some of the solvents ran off to the surface
or discharged into drainage pits. The site was abandoned
in 1968 and since has been overgrown by vegetation,
although several on-site buildings remain operational.
Preliminary site characterization efforts suggested that
approximately 20,600 kg (Battelle, 1999a) to 40,000 kg
(Eddy-Dilek et al., 1998) of solvent may be present in the
subsurface near the Engineering Support Building at
Launch Complex 34. Figure 1-5 is a map of the Launch
Complex 34 site that shows the target DNAPL source
area, located in the northern vicinity of the Engineering
Support Building. The DNAPL source zone was large
enough that the IDC and the Technical Advisory Group
could assign three separate demonstration plots encom-
passing different parts of this source zone. Figure 1-5
also shows the layout of the three demonstration plots
along the northern edge of the Engineering Support
Building. The steam injection plot is in the middle of
three plots. Figure 1-6 is a photograph looking south
toward the three demonstration plots and the Engi-
neering Support Building. All three demonstration plots
partially extend under the Engineering Support Building
in order to encompass the portion of the DNAPL source
under the building, and to determine if the technology
could be deployed beneath active facilities.

2. Site Characterization
This section provides a summary of the hydrogeology
and chemistry of the site based on the data compilation
report (Battelle, 1999a), the additional site characteriza-
tion report (Battelle, 1999b), and the pre-demonstration
characterization report (Battelle, 2001 a).
2.1 Hydrogeology of the Site
A surficial aquifer and a semi-confined aquifer comprise
the major aquifers in the Launch Complex 34 area, as
described in Table 2-1. The surficial aquifer extends
from the water table to approximately 45 ft below ground
surface (bgs) in the Launch Complex 34 area. A clay
semi-confining unit separates the surficial aquifer from
the underlying semi-confined aquifer.
Figures 2-1 and 2-2 are geologic cross sections, one
along the east-west direction across the middle of the
three demonstration plots, and the other along the north-
south direction across the middle of the steam injection
plot. As seen in these figures, the surficial aquifer is sub-
classified as having an Upper Sand Unit, a Middle Fine-
Grained Unit, and a Lower Sand Unit. The Upper Sand
Unit extends from ground surface to approximately 26 ft
bgs and consists of unconsolidated, gray fine sand and
shell fragments. The Middle Fine-Grained Unit is a layer
of gray, fine-grained silty/clayey sand that exists be-
tween about 26 and 36 ft bgs. In general, this unit con-
tains soil that is finer-grained than the Upper Sand Unit
and Lower Sand Unit, and varies in thickness from
approximately 10 to 15 ft. The Middle Fine-Grained Unit
is thicker in the northern portions of the demonstration
plots and appears to become thinner in the southern and
western portions of the test area (under the Engineering
Support Building and in the resistive heating plot). Below
the Middle Fine-Grained Unit is the Lower Sand Unit,
which consists of gray fine to medium-sized sand and
shell fragments. The unit contains isolated fine-grained
lenses of silt and/or clay.
A 1.5- to 3-ft-thick layer consisting of greenish-gray
sandy clay is present at approximately 45 ft bgs. This
semi-confining unit (i.e., the Lower Clay Unit) was en-
countered in all borings across the Launch Complex 34
site, and it appears to be a pervasive unit. However, the
clay unit is fairly thin (around 1.5 to 3 ft thick) in some
areas, especially under the resistive heating plot. Site
characterization data (Battelle, 1999a and 1999b; Eddy-
Dilek et al., 1998) suggest that the surfaces of the Mid-
dle Fine-Grained Unit and the Lower Clay Unit are
somewhat uneven (see Figures 2-3 to 2-5). The Lower
Clay Unit slopes downward toward the southern part of
all three demonstration plots and toward the center plot
and the building. The thickness of the confining unit ini-
tially was uncertain, because most coring locations were
terminated when the clay unit was encountered, in order
to prevent groundwater from flowing between the
confined aquifer and the overlying surficial aquifer. Only

in April 2001 were three soil borings advanced below the
confining layer to install monitoring wells in the confined
aquifer (Battelle, 2001 b).
The semi-confined aquifer underlies the semi-confining
unit. The aquifer consists of gray fine to medium-sized
sand, clay, and shell fragments. Water levels from wells
in the semi-confined aquifer were measured at approxi-
mately 4 to 5 ft bgs. Water levels from wells screened in
the Lower Sand Unit usually are slightly higher than the
water levels from the Upper Sand Unit and/or the Middle
Fine-Grained Unit, suggesting that the lower aquifer is
confined. Few cores were advanced below the semi-
confined aquifer. The thickness of the semi-confined
aquifer is greater than 40 ft.
Water-level surveys were performed in the surficial aqui-
fer in December 2000, July and November 2001, and
February 2002. Water table elevations in the surficial
aquifer were between about 1 and 5 ft above mean sea
level (amsl). In general, the surveys suggest that water
levels form a radial pattern with highest elevations under
the Engineering Support Building. Figure 2-6 shows a
water-level map of June 1998, and Table 2-2 sum-
marizes the hydraulic gradients near the Engineering
Support Building. The gradient and flow directions vary
over time at the site. The gradient ranged from 0.00009
to 0.0007 ft/ft. The flow direction varied from north-
northeast to south-southwest.
The surficial aquifer is unconfined above the Middle
Fine-Grained Unit and semi-confined below the Middle

Figure 2-4. Topography of Bottom of Middle Fine-Grained Unit
Fine-Grained Unit. Pre-demonstration water-level mea-
surements in all three surficial aquifer zones Upper
Sand Unit, Middle Fine-Grained Unit, and Lower Sand
Unit indicated a relatively flat hydraulic gradient in the
localized setting of the three demonstration plots, as
seen in Figures 2-7 to 2-9 (Battelle, 1999c). On a
regional scale, mounding of water levels near the Engi-
neering Support Building generates a radial gradient; the
regional gradient across the demonstration plots
appears to be toward the northeast (see Figure 2-6).
Probable discharge points for the aquifer include wetland
areas, the Atlantic Ocean, and/or the Banana River. The
flow system may be influenced by local recharge events,
resulting in the variation in the gradients. Recharge to
the surficial aquifer is from infiltration of precipitation
through surface soils to the aquifer.
In general, pre-demonstration slug tests showed that the
Upper Sand Unit is more permeable than the underlying
units, with hydraulic conductivity ranging from 0.14 to
13.7 ft/day in the shallow wells at the site (Battelle,
2001 a). The hydraulic conductivity of the Middle Fine-
Grained Unit ranges from 2.1 to 4.9 ft/day in the interme-
diate wells; measured conductivities probably are higher
than the actual conductivity of this unit because the
intermediate well screens include portions of the Upper
Sand Unit. The hydraulic conductivity of the Lower Sand
Unit ranged from 2.7 to 3.3 ft/day. Porosity averaged

materials averaged 1.59 g/cm3 (Battelle, 1999b).
Groundwater temperatures ranged from 22.4 to 25.7ฐC
during a March 1999 survey.
Water-level surveys in the confined aquifer were per-
formed in December 2000, July and December 2001,
and February 2002. Water-level elevations were mea-
sured at approximately 1 to 5 ft msl, and formed a
pattern similar to the pattern formed by surficial aquifer
water levels. Groundwater elevations are well above the
confining unit, indicating that the aquifer is confined. The
gradient in the confined aquifer is positioned in a similar
direction to the surficial aquifer. The flow direction varies
from east to south-southwest. In general, water levels in
the confined aquifer are higher than those in the surficial
aquifer, suggesting an upward vertical gradient. Re-
charge to the aquifer may occur by downward leakage
from overlying aquifers or from direct infiltration inland
where the aquifer is unconfined. Schmalzer and Hinkle
(1990) suggest that saltwater intrusion may occur in
intermediate aquifers such as the confined aquifer.
Other notable hydrologic influences at the site include
drainage and recharge. Paved areas, vegetation, and
topography affect drainage in the area. No streams exist

in the site area. Engineered drainage at the site consists
of ditches that lead to the Atlantic Ocean or swampy
areas. Permeable soils exist from the ground surface to
the water table and drainage is excellent. Water infil-
trates directly to the water table.
2.2 Surface Water Bodies at the Site
The major surface water body in the area is the Atlantic
Ocean, located approximately one-half mile to the east
of Launch Complex 34. To determine the effects of sur-
face water bodies on the groundwater system, water lev-
els were monitored in 12 piezometers over 50 hours for
a tidal influence study during Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) Facility Investigation (RFI)
activities (G&E Engineering, Inc., 1996). All the piezom-
eters used in the study were screened in the surficial
aquifer. No detectable effects from the tidal cycles were
measured, suggesting that the surficial aquifer and the
Atlantic Ocean are not well connected hydraulically.
However, the Atlantic Ocean and the Banana River
seem to act as hydraulic barriers or sinks, as ground-
water likely flows toward these surface water bodies and
discharges into them.
2.3 TCE-DNAPL Contamination in the
Demonstration Plot and Vicinity
Figures 2-10 to 2-12 show representative pre-
demonstration distributions of TCE, the primary con-
taminant at Launch Complex 34, in the performance
monitoring wells installed (Battelle, 2001 a) at shallow,
intermediate, and deep depths in the demonstration plot.
The shallow wells were installed to approximately 22 ft

bgs. The intermediate wells were installed to approx-
imately 29 ft bgs. The deep wells were installed to 45 ft
bgs. Well construction logs are contained in Appendix B.
No free-phase solvent was visible in any of the wells dur-
ing the pre-demonstration sampling; however, ground-
water analysis in many wells showed TCE at levels near
or above its solubility, indicating the potential for DNAPL
at the site (see Appendix C). Lower levels of c/s-1,2-
DCE and vinyl chloride also were present in the aquifer,
indicating some historical natural attenuation of TCE.
Groundwater sampling indicated that the highest levels
of TCE in the SI/E plot are in the Lower Sand Unit (deep
wells) and closer to the Engineering Support Building. In
the Upper Sand Unit and Middle Fine-Grained Unit, TCE
levels were relatively low in the SI/E plot compared to
the pre-demonstration sampling results in the neighbor-
ing plots, indicating that the contamination in these
layers may have been affected by the two treatments in
the neighboring plots (Battelle, 2002 and 2003).
Figures 2-13 to 2-15 show representative pre-
demonstration horizontal distributions of TCE in soil from
the Upper Sand Unit, Middle Fine-Grained Unit, and
Lower Sand Unit (Battelle, 2001 a). TCE levels were
highest in the Lower Sand Unit, and concentrations indi-
cate that DNAPL extends under the building. As seen in
the vertical cross section in Figure 2-16, much of the
DNAPL (yellow, orange, or red areas) was present in the
Middle Fine-Grained Unit and in the Lower Sand Unit,
right above the clay aquitard.
The pre-demonstration soil sampling and TCE analysis
data were interpreted by two methods, both of which
gave similar estimates of TCE mass:
Linear interpolation of the TCE concentration
(including the dissolved TCE) distribution indicated
that approximately 10,435 kg of total TCE was
present in the SI/E plot before the demonstration
(Battelle, 2000a). Approximately 9,301 kg of this
TCE may occur as DNAPL (excluding the dissolved
TCE), based on a threshold TCE concentration of
about 300 mg/kg in the soil.
Kriging or geostatistical evaluation of the TCE con-
centration measurements indicated that between
11,145 and 14,159 kg of TCE (including the
dissolved TCE) was present in the SI/E plot before
the demonstration. Kriging is better able to account
for the uncertainties in interpolating measured TCE
concentrations at a limited number of sampled
points to all points in the plot.
The native organic carbon content of the Launch Com-
plex 34 soil is relatively low and the threshold TCE con-
centration is driven by the solubility of TCE in the pore
water. The threshold TCE concentration in soil was
determined by estimating the maximum amount of TCE
that can occur in the dissolved and adsorbed phases,
given the porosity and organic matter content of the soil.
The threshold concentration in soil was calculated as
follows:
Csa,=
Cwater (KdPb + ")
Pb
(2-1)
where C
sat
= maximum TCE concentration in the
dissolved and adsorbed phases
(mg/kg)
Cwater = TCE solubility (mg/L) = 1,100
pb = bulk density of soil (g/cm3) = 1.6
n = porosity (unitless) = 0.3
Kd = partitioning coefficient of TCE in soil
[(mg/kg)/(mg/L)], equal to (foc Koc)
foc = fraction organic carbon (unitless)
Koc = organic carbon partition coefficient
[(mg/kg)/(mg/L)].
Based on Equation (2-1), the threshold TCE concentra-
tion in soil for this site was approximated to 300 mg/kg.
The portion of the measured total TCE in soil that ex-
ceeds the maximum threshold concentrations of TCE in
the dissolved and adsorbed phases is considered to be
DNAPL. At values below the threshold concentration,
TCE was considered to be in the dissolved phase. The
actual threshold levels may vary slightly in different parts
of the demonstration plot, depending on the exact soil
texture, porosity, and natural organic matter content; the
threshold concentration of 300 mg/kg for soil was
selected as a conservative estimate for all three demon-
stration plots.
In Figures 2-13 to 2-16, the colors yellow and red indi-
cate presence of TCE-DNAPL, whereas the dissolved
phase TCE was contoured from blue to green. Contour-
ing software from EarthVision was used to divide the
plot into isoconcentration shells. Section 5.1 contains a
more detailed description of the total TCE and TCE-
DNAPL mass estimation procedures for the SI/E plot.
2.4 Aquifer Quality/Geochemistry
Appendix A.3 lists the various aquifer parameters mea-
sured and the standard methods used to analyze them.
Pre-demonstration groundwater field parameters were
measured in several wells in the demonstration area in
August 1999 (Battelle, 1999c). The pH was relatively
constant with depth, and ranged from 6.7 to 9.1. Dis-
solved oxygen (DO) levels were measured with a flow-
through cell, and were mostly less than 1 mg/L in the
deep wells, indicating that the aquifer was anaerobic,
especially at greater depths. Oxidation-reduction potential

Figure 2-16. Vertical Cross Section through Steam Plot Showing TCE Concentrations (mg/kg) in Soil
(ORP) from all the sampled wells ranged from -152 to
-163 millivolts (mV). Total organic carbon (TOC) con-
centrations ranged from 2.1 to 34 mg/L in water samples
and from 0.9 to 1.8% in soil samples; much of this TOC
is probably TCE/DNAPL, as the samples were collected
from the DNAPL source region. Biological oxygen de-
mand (BOD) ranged from <3 to 84 mg/L in groundwater.
Inorganic groundwater parameters were tested in August
1999 in select wells to determine the pre-demonstration
quality of the groundwater in the target area (Battelle,
1999c) before the first two demonstrations of ISCO and
resistive heating. Inorganic parameters in the ground-
water at Launch Complex 34 are summarized as follows:
Total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations
increased sharply with depth, suggesting that the
water becomes more brackish with depth. The TDS
levels ranged from 387 to 1,550 mg/L. Chloride
concentrations ranged from 38 to 752 mg/L and
increased sharply with depth, indicating for some
salt water intrusion in the deeper layers (namely,
the Lower Sand Unit part of the aquifer).
Alkalinity levels ranged from 204 to 323 mg/L and
showed little trend with depth or distance.
Iron concentrations ranged from <0.05 to 2.5 mg/L
in the groundwater, and manganese concentrations
ranged from <0.015 to 1.1 mg/L with little vertical or
lateral trend.
Calcium concentrations ranged from 41 to 88 mg/L
and magnesium concentrations ranged from 53 to
84 mg/L.
Sulfate concentrations were between 29 and
138 mg/L and showed no discernable trends.
Nitrate concentrations were below detection.
2.5 Aquifer Microbiology
A separate exploratory microbiological study was con-
ducted in the SI/E plot during pre-demonstration and
post-demonstration characterization under a Work Plan
prepared by Battelle and Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory (Battelle, 2000b). The approach and prelimi-
nary results of this study are presented in Appendix E.

3. Technology Operation
This section describes how the steam injection technol-
ogy was implemented at Launch Complex 34.
3.1 Steam Injection/Extraction
Concept
SI/E involves the application of heat to the subsurface by
injecting steam (see Figure 1-3). A wide variety of phys-
ical and chemical effects occur that are beneficial for the
breakdown or removal of DNAPL contaminants in both
saturated and unsaturated subsurface materials. Volatile
and semivolatile contaminants are removed from the
subsurface by a combination of direct volatilization and
steam stripping. Recent reports also have claimed that
organic contaminants degrade in situ due to heat-
accelerated abiotic (e.g., hydrolysis, oxidation) and/or
biotic processes (Battelle, 2001 d and 2001 e).
An aboveground treatment system may consist of a heat
exchanger/cooling tower, wastewater transfer and pro-
cessing tanks, NAPL/water separator, vacuum blower,
and wastestream treatment equipment. Multiphase ex-
traction wells are used to extract fluids and vapors from
the subsurface. For near-surface deployments a surface
plenum can be installed to control vapor migration.
In general, wastestream treatment depends on contami-
nant type, regulatory discharge limits, and the extent of
existing wastestream treatment equipment at the site.
For VOC-contaminated sites, the treatment equipment
typically will consist of a thermal oxidizer for contaminant
vapor destruction, and an air stripper, with or without
GAG for polishing for wastewater treatment. Off-gas
from the air stripper is sent to the thermal oxidizer for
contaminant destruction. The treated vapor from the
thermal oxidizer by a caustic scrubber is discharged to
the atmosphere. The only wastestreams generated are
spent granular activated carbon (GAG) and nonaqueous-
phase liquid (NAPL) recovered in the NAPL/water sepa-
rator. All other wastestreams can be treated to below
regulatory discharge limits.
3.2 Application of SI/E Technology
For this IDC demonstration, SI/E was used to heat a
DNAPL source zone in the aquifer at the Launch Com-
plex 34 site. The source zone consisted primarily of
TCE, although lesser amounts of c/s-1,2-DCE also were
present. For the purpose of the demonstration, the rela-
tively large source zone was divided into three demon-
stration plots for three different technology applications.
The 75-ft x 50-ft demonstration plot assigned to the SI/E
demonstration is shown in Figure 3-1 and is referred to
as the SI/E plot. The demonstrations of ISCO and elec-
trical resistive heating were conducted concurrently in the
two outer plots, before the SI/E demonstration began.
A summary description of the SI/E process implemented
by the vendor at Launch Complex 34 follows in this
section. Table 3-1 includes a chronology of events
constituting the SI/E demonstration. The field application
of the technology was conducted over a period of
6 months from July to December 2001. Some periods of
downtime occurred during the application.
3.2.1 SI/E Equipment and Setup
Figure 3-2 is a picture of the SI/E system installed at
Launch Complex 34. As shown in the equipment layout
in Figure 3-3, the SI/E scheme at Launch Complex 34
included two injection well clusters (SI-1 and SI-2);
8 deep and 7 shallow extraction wells (VE-1 to VE-3,
VE-6 to VE-9, and VE-13D); and three shallow vapor
extraction wells (VE-12 to VE-14), which were located
within the Engineering Support Building. Two injection
well clusters were installed in the Upper Sand Unit and
Lower Sand Unit in the middle of the demonstration plot.
The screen depths were between 7 and 22 ft bgs and 32
and 46 ft bgs for the Upper Sand Unit and Lower Sand
Unit, respectively. To monitor the steam and heat distri-
bution, a total of 13 strand thermocouples were installed
inside and outside the demonstration plot, from surface
to approximately 45 ft bgs. Of these, five temperature

thermocouples were installed in the plot and eight
thermocouples were installed outside the plot. Air was
co-injected with steam during the initial stages of the
application to mitigate potential downward migration of
TCE that was above the Lower Clay Unit.
The following system overview describes the fundamen-
tal SI/E system and major system components.
Vapor Extraction - The SI/E process utilized a combi-
nation of groundwater and vapor extraction as the con-
taminant removal mechanism. The groundwater and
vapor extraction system utilized vertical extraction wells,
in addition to vapor removal from the horizontal extrac-
tion wells.
Hot extracted vapor stream was cooled in a heat ex-
changer/condenser. This was necessary to condense
contaminated liquids from the vapor stream prior to
entering the extraction blower. Cooling water was recir-
culated through the heat exchanger from an evaporative
cooling tower with a nominal rating of 375 tons of cooling
capacity (5 MBTU/hr). The cooling stage resulted in the
condensation of steam, which was then separated from
the vapor stream.
After leaving the heat exchanger, entrained moisture
was removed in a 500-gal water knockout tank (WKO).
Vapor entered the knockout tank at a high tangential
velocity allowing separation of entrained liquid droplets,
which accumulated in the tank bottom. The condensate

was transferred from the knockout tank to a DNAPL
separator. The remaining vapor flowed into the thermal
oxidizer at flowrates ranging from 300-400 standard
cubic feet per minute (scfm).
Vapor Treatment- After exiting the water knockout tank,
the extracted vapors were directed to a thermal oxidizer
for destruction prior to atmospheric discharge. The oxi-
dizer was designed to provide 98.5% VOC destruction
efficiency. Sampling ports were used to monitor influent
and effluent concentrations. The thermal oxidizer also
was equipped with a caustic scrubber to neutralize hydro-
chloric acid (HCI) produced in the destruction of TCE.
The blowdown from the caustic scrubber and the blow-
down from a steam boiler were two effluent streams
produced by the vapor treatment components of the SI/E
technology. The effluents were combined and trucked
from the demonstration site by NASA to a treatment
plant.
Groundwater Extraction - Groundwater extraction uti-
lized eductors positioned at the surface for each extrac-
tion well cluster. A water recirculation system provided
the motive supply for the eductors. Extracted ground-
water was discharged from the wellhead into the re-
circulation tank. As the water level increased in the tank,
an overflow line with a gravity drain piped the extracted
water to the transfer tank, where it was combined with
effluent from the DNAPL/water separator. The water
transfer tank was required as a reservoir from which to
pump the water stream to the top of the air stripper.
Water Treatment - Water with dissolved contaminants
from the water transfer tank was processed through an
air stripper and liquid-phase carbon canisters to reduce
the concentrations prior to discharge. After the carbon
canisters water was directed to a 20,000-gal process
container, where the water was held to test the contam-
inant levels prior to disposal. Contaminated vapors from
the air stripper were directed to the thermal oxidizer, and
the clean effluent water from the carbon canisters was
directed to the infiltration gallery.
3.2.2 Steam Injection Field Operation
This section summarizes the steam injection operation of
the demonstration reported by the vendor. As shown in
Table 3-1, the vendor began the steam injection on July
19, 2001 for approximately a week and resumed the
injection on August 27 until December 20, 2001. There
was a 10-day downtime between December 1 to 9 due
to a malfunction of the thermal oxidizer burner control
unit. The vapor extraction system was operated until
December 28, 2001 to ensure the capture of vapors
emanating from the hot aquifer, after the steam injection
had stopped. Over the course of the demonstration, a
total of 1,409,810 kg of steam was applied to the
subsurface.
During the demonstration, the vendor monitored volatile
organic compound (VOC) levels and flowrate of the
extracted vapor stream, and temperatures from five ther-
mocouple bundles inside the plot (TM-1 through TM-5,
shown in Figure 3-1). The temperature monitoring was
also incorporated with temperature monitoring from the
other thermocouples installed by Battelle and TetraTech
EM (TMP-6 through TMP-13), to evaluate the tempera-
ture distribution in and around the plot. Separately, dis-
charge water was collected from the discharge infiltration
gallery to ensure that the water treatment system treated
the wastewater before discharge.
3.2.3 Health and Safety Issues
One initial concern with the steam injection technology
was safe delivery of the high temperature steam to the
subsurface. The vendor implemented the steam treat-
ment without any damage to equipment or injury to work-
ers. The monitoring wells in the steam injection plot and
perimeter were sealed during the entire steam injection
period and no samples were collected through these
wells during the operation. The monitoring wells were
sealed to prevent any possible dangers associated with
opening wells that could possibly release strong jets of
steam under pressure.
System operators and sampling personnel wore Level D
personal protective equipment at the site. Heavy equip-
ment movement during mobilization and demobilization
and handling of hot fluids were hazards that were recog-
nized in the QAPP prepared at the beginning of the
demonstration (Battelle, 2001 c). No injuries were encoun-
tered during the demonstration.

4. Performance Assessment Methodology
Battelle, in conjunction with the U.S. EPA SITE Program,
conducted an independent performance assessment of
the SI/E technology demonstration at Launch Complex
34 (see Figure 4-1). The objectives and methodology for
the performance assessment were outlined in a QAPP
prepared before the field demonstration and reviewed by
all stakeholders (Battelle, 2001 c). The objectives of the
performance assessment were to:
Estimate the reduction in TCE-DNAPL mass
Evaluate changes in aquifer quality due to the
treatment
Evaluate the fate of TCE-DNAPL mass in the SI/E
plot
Verify the operating requirements and costs of SI/E
technology.
The first objective, estimating the reduction in TCE-
DNAPL mass, was the primary objective. The rest were
secondary objectives, in terms of demonstration focus
Figure 4-1. Sampling for Performance
Assessment at Launch Complex 34
and resources expended. Table 4-1 summarizes the four
objectives of the performance assessment and the meth-
odologies used to achieve them.
4.1 Estimate the Reduction in
TCE-DNAPL Mass
The primary objective of the performance assessment
was to estimate the mass reduction of total TCE and
TCE-DNAPL. Total TCE includes both dissolved- and
free-phase TCE present in the aquifer soil matrix.
DNAPL refers to free-phase TCE only and is assumed to
include all TCE detected in soil samples in excess of the
calculated threshold concentration of 300 mg/kg descri-
bed in Section 2.3. Soil sampling in the SI/E plot before
and after the demonstration was the method used for
estimating any reduction in TCE/DNAPL mass.
At the outset of the demonstration, the Technical Advi-
sory Group proposed at least 90% DNAPL mass reduc-
tion as a target for the three remediation technologies
being demonstrated. Soil sampling was the method
selected in the QAPP for determining percent TCE-
DNAPL reduction at this site. Previous soil coring, sam-
pling, and analysis at Launch Complex 34 (Battelle,
1999b; Eddy-Dilek, 1998) had shown that this was a
viable technique for identifying the boundaries of the
DNAPL source zone and estimating the DNAPL mass.
The advantage of soil sampling was that relatively inten-
sive horizontal and vertical coverage of the SI/E plot, as
well as of the dissolved-phase TCE and DNAPL distri-
bution, could be achieved with a reasonable number of
soil samples.
Although TCE was the primary focus of the performance
assessment, the TCE breakdown products c/s-1,2-DCE,
frans-1,2-DCE, and vinyl chloride also were measured in
the soil samples; however, high TCE levels often
masked the other compounds and made their detection
difficult.

coring locations and number of soil samples required to

be collected in the SI/E plot is described in Appendix
A.1. Based on the horizontal and vertical variability
observed in the TCE concentrations in soil cores col-
lected during the pre-demonstration characterization in
December 2000, a systematic unaligned sampling ap-
proach was used to divide the plot into a 4 x 3 grid and
collect one soil core in each grid cell for a total of 12 soil
cores (Figure 4-2). The resulting 12 cores (and one dup-
licate) provided good spatial coverage of the 75-ft x 50-ft
SI/E plot and included three cores inside the Engineering
Support Building. For each soil core, the entire soil col-
umn from ground surface to aquitard was sampled and
analyzed in 2-ft sections. Another set of 12 cores (and
one duplicate) was similarly collected after the demon-
stration in February 2002, in the same grid cells (see the
post-demonstration coring locations in Figure 4-3). Each
sampling event, therefore, consisted of nearly 300 soil
samples (12 cores, 23 2-ft intervals per core, plus dupli-
cates). No soil sampling was conducted outside or
beneath the treatment plot. Therefore, displacement of
DNAPL by the SI/E application could not be evaluated.
The soil coring, sampling, and extraction methods are
described in Appendix A.2 and summarized in this sec-
tion. Figures 4-4 and 4-5 show the outdoor and indoor
rigs used for soil coring outside and inside the Engineer-
ing Support Building. A direct-push rig with a 2-inch-
diameter, 4-ft-long sample barrel was used for coring. As
soon as the sample barrel was retrieved, the 4-ft section
of core was divided into two 2-ft sections and then split
vertically. Approximately 125 g of wet soil was deposited
into a predetermined volume (250 ml) of methanol for
extraction in the field. The methanol extract was trans-
ferred into 20-mL volatile organic analysis (VOA) vials,
which were shipped to an off-site laboratory for analysis.
As compared to the more conventional method of col-
lecting and analyzing small soil samples at discrete
depths, the sampling and extraction technique used at
this site provided better coverage of a heterogeneously
distributed contaminant. The entire vertical depth of the
soil column at the coring location could be analyzed.
Preliminary site characterization had shown that the
vertical variability of the TCE distribution was greater

than the horizontal variability, and this sampling and
extraction method allowed continuous vertical coverage
of the soil column. The TCE recovery efficiency was
tested using the same sampling and extraction proce-
dure (modified U.S. EPA Method 5035; see Appendix
A.2) on a surrogate compound spiked into soil samples.
The surrogate recovery in soil ranged from 84 to 113%,
with an average recovery of 92%. Appendix G, Table G-
1 contains detailed results.
One challenge during post-demonstration soil coring in
the SI/E plot was the handling of hot soil cores. The
following steps were taken to minimize VOC losses due
to volatilization from the extracted soil with elevated
temperatures, and prevent work-related injuries to per-
sonnel handling the cores:
Post-demonstration coring was delayed until all
parts of the plot were below 90ฐC.
Personnel were given special thermal-resistant
gloves to use during coring activities.
Butyrate sleeves were placed inside the coring
barrel before drilling so that the soil core was
collected and contained within the sleeve. This
minimized soil contact with the hot (metal) core
barrel, and also minimized the amount of time that
personnel spent handling the metal core barrel
while retrieving the soil samples.
As soon as the soil core barrel was withdrawn, both
ends of the butyrate sleeve were capped or bagged
and the entire sleeve was placed in an ice bath to

cool. The end caps were used to prevent VOC
losses and avoid ice water intrusion into the sleeve
during the ice bath. Once the soil in the sleeve had
cooled to ambient temperature (about 20ฐC), the
sleeve was removed from the ice bath and the soil
core was sampled.
The potential for CVOC losses during cooling of the
core was evaluated through a separate experiment
whereby a surrogate compound (1,1,1-TCA) was
spiked into a soil core. The results of the experi-
ment indicated that significant VOC loss was not
occurring during the cooling and sampling period.
Appendix G contains details and results of the
surrogate spike evaluation.
Two data evaluation methods were used for estimating
TCE/DNAPL mass reduction in the SI/E plot: linear inter-
polation (or contouring), and kriging.
The spatial variability or spread of the TCE distribution in
a DNAPL source zone typically is high, because small
pockets of residual solvent may be distributed unevenly
across the source region. The two methods address this
spatial variability in different ways, and therefore the
resulting mass removal estimates differ slightly. Because
it is impractical to sample every single point in the SI/E
plot and obtain a true TCE mass estimate for the plot,
both methods address the practical limitations of esti-
mating the TCE concentrations at unsampled points by

interpolating (estimating) between sampled points. The
objective in both methods is to use the information from
a limited sample set to make an inference about the
entire population (the entire plot or a stratigraphic unit).
4.1.1 Linear Interpolation by Contouring
Linear interpolation (by contouring) is the most straight-
forward and intuitive of the two methods for estimating
TCE concentration or mass in the entire plot, based on a
limited number of sampled points. TCE concentrations
are assumed to be linearly distributed between sampled
points. A software program, such as EarthVision can
be used to conduct the linear interpolation in three
dimensions. In contouring, the only way to address the
spatial variability of the TCE distribution is to collect as
large a number of samples as is practical so that good
coverage of the plot is obtained; the higher the sampling
density, the smaller the distances over which the data
need to be interpolated. Nearly 300 soil samples were
collected from the 12 coring locations in the plot during
each event (pre-demonstration and post-demonstration),
which was the highest number practical for this project.
Appendix A (Section A.1.1) describes how the number
and distribution of these sampling points were deter-
mined to obtain good coverage of the plot.
The contouring software EarthVision uses the same
methodology that is used for drawing water-level contour
maps based on water-level measurements at discrete
locations in a region. The only difference with this soft-
ware is that the TCE concentrations are mapped in three
dimensions to generate isoconcentration shells. The
TCE concentration in each shell is multiplied by the vol-
ume of the shell (as estimated by the volumetric pack-
age in the software) and the bulk density of the soil (1.59
g/cm3, estimated during preliminary site characterization)
to estimate a mass for each shell. The TCE mass in
each region of interest (Upper Sand Unit, Middle Fine-
Grained Unit, Lower Sand Unit, and the entire plot) is
obtained by adding up the portion of the shells contained
in that region. The DNAPL mass is obtained by adding
up the masses in only those shells that have TCE con-
centrations above 300 mg/kg. Contouring provides a
single mass estimate for the region of interest by inter-
polating data points. The interpolation is controlled pri-
marily by gridding method and grid cell size. The
gridding method employed by EarthVision is called
minimum tension gridding. Minimum tension gridding is a
method that very closely honors the values of the input
data. This method also uses a biharmonic cubic spline
function that has the effect of creating grid cell values
that form a natural looking contoured surface. The curva-
ture is distributed in between data based on the overall
data distribution rather than being concentrated at the
data points. Grid cell size also influences the interpola-
tion of the contouring. The overall distribution of the data
is the primary factor in determining the size of the grid
cells. For a typical scattered data set that does not have
dense clusters of data, a general rule is to choose a cell
size that is one-half the distance between the closest
adjacent data points.
4.1.2 Kriging
Kriging is a geostatistical interpolation tool that takes into
consideration the spatial correlations among the TCE
data in making inferences about the TCE concentrations
Battelle
33

-------
at unsampled points. Spatial correlation analysis deter-
mines the extent to which TCE concentrations at various
points in the plot are similar or different. Generally, the
degree to which TCE concentrations are similar or differ-
ent is a function of distance and direction. Based on
these correlations, kriging determines how the TCE con-
centrations at sampled points can be optimally weighted
to infer the TCE concentrations at unsampled points in
the plot or the TCE mass in an entire region of interest
(entire plot or stratigraphic unit). Kriging accounts for the
uncertainty in each point estimate by calculating a
standard error for the estimate. Therefore, a range of
TCE mass estimates is obtained instead of a single esti-
mate; this range is defined by an average and a stand-
ard error or by a confidence interval. The confidence or
level of significance required by the project objectives
determines the width of this range. A level of significance
of 0.2 (or 80% confidence) was determined as described
in the QAPP (Battelle, 2001 c).
4.1.3 Interpreting the Results of the Two
Mass Reduction Estimation Methods
The two methods for estimating mass reduction address
the spatial variability of the TCE distribution in different
ways and, therefore, the resulting mass reduction esti-
mates differ slightly between the two methods. Between
linear interpolation (by contouring) and kriging, kriging
provides a more informed inference of the TCE mass
reduction because it takes into account the spatial cor-
relations in the TCE distribution and the uncertainties
(errors) associated with the estimates. At the same time,
because a large number of soil samples were collected
during each event, the results in Section 5.1 show that
linear interpolation was able to overcome the spatial var-
iability to a considerable extent and provides a mass
estimate that is close to the range provided by kriging.
Further, because no soil sample data was collected from
outside or beneath the plot, displacement of DNAPL was
not considered or included.
4.2 Evaluate Changes in
Aquifer Quality
A secondary objective of the performance assessment
was to evaluate any short-term changes in aquifer qual-
ity due to the treatment. SI/E may affect both the con-
taminant and the native aquifer characteristics. Pre- and
post-demonstration measurements conducted to evalu-
ate the short-term impacts of the technology application
on the aquifer included:
CVOC measurements in the groundwater inside the
SI/E plot
Field parameter measurements in the groundwater
Inorganic measurements (common cations and
anions) in the groundwater
Geochemical composition of the aquifer
TDS, TOC, and BOD in the groundwater
TOC measurements in the soil
Hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer
Microbiology of the soil and groundwater in the
aquifer.
These measurements were conducted primarily in moni-
toring wells within the plot, but some measurements also
were made in the perimeter and distant wells because
the monitoring wells inside the plot were under the
plenum and inaccessible during the application of SI/E
4.3 Evaluate the Fate of the
TCE-DNAPL Mass in the
Steam Injection Plot
Another secondary objective was to evaluate the fate of
the TCE removed from the plot by the SI/E application.
Possible pathways for the decrease in TCE-DNAPL
mass from the plot include recovery in the aboveground
treatment systems, degradation, and migration from the
SI/E plot (to the surrounding regions). These pathways
were evaluated by the following measurements:
Chloride (mineralization of CVOCs leads to forma-
tion of chloride) and other inorganic constituents in
groundwater
Hydraulic gradients (gradients indicative of ground-
water movement)
Surface emission tests, which were conducted as
described in Appendix F to evaluate the potential
for CVOC losses to the vadose zone and atmo-
sphere (see Figures 4-6 and 4-7)
CVOC concentrations in the semi-confined aquifer
below the demonstration plots.
4.3.1 Potential for Migration to the
Semi-Confined Aquifer
During the week of April 2, 2001, Battelle installed three
wells into the semi-confined aquifer beneath the demon-
stration plot with a two-stage (dual-casing) drilling and
completion process with a mud rotary drill rig provided
Battelle

Launch Complex 34
by Environmental Drilling Services, Inc., from Ocala, FL.
Figure 4-8 shows the location of these wells (PA-20, PA-
21, and PA-22). The semi-confined aquifer is approxi-
mately 50 to 120 ft thick below the aquitard; three
monitoring wells were installed to total depths of approxi-
mately 60 ft bgs. The objectives of installing these wells
were to characterize the groundwater of the semi-
confined aquifer before, during and after the demon-
stration, to evaluate the potential presence of CVOC
contamination in the semi-confined aquifer, and to
assess the effect of the SI/E demonstration on the semi-
confined aquifer.
These wells were first proposed in 1999, but the IDC and
Battelle decided to forgo their construction because of
NASA's concerns over breaching the thin aquitard
(Lower Clay Unit). However, a nonintrusive geophysical
test conducted at the SI/E plot indicated the possible
existence of DNAPL through preferential flowpaths
between the surficial and semi-confined aquifer (Resolu-
tion Resources, 2000). It was not clear if DNAPL existed
in the semi-confined aquifer, or what effect the SI/E
demonstration would have on the semi-confined aquifer.
The IDC and Battelle decided that there were enough
questions about the status of this semi-confined aquifer
that it would be worthwhile taking the risk to characterize
the deeper aquifer.
Suitable precautions were taken to mitigate any risk of
downward migration of contamination during the well
installation.
WSRC sent an observer to monitor the field installation
of the wells. The observer verified that the wells were
installed properly and that no drag-down of contaminants
was created during their installation.
4.3.2 Geologic Background at
Launch Complex 34
Several aquifers are present at the Launch Complex 34
area, reflecting a barrier island complex overlying coastal
sediments (Figure 4-9). The surficial aquifer is com-
prised of layers of silty sand and shells. It extends down
to about 45 ft bgs, where the Lower Clay Unit (aquitard)
is encountered. Previous logging suggested that the
Lower Clay Unit is 3 ft thick and consists of gray clay
with low to medium plasticity. A 40- to 50-ft-thick semi-
confined aquifer (Caloosahatchee Marl formation or
equivalent) resides under the Lower Clay Unit and is
composed of silty to clayey sand and shells. Underlying
the semi-confined aquifer is the Hawthorne formation, a
clayey sand-confining layer. The limestone Floridan
Aquifer underlies the Hawthorne formation and is a
major source of drinking water for much of Florida. Table

erties of the hydrostratigraphic units in the area.
4.3.3 Semi-Confined Aquifer Well
Installation Method
Figure 4-10 shows the well completion diagram for the
three semi-confined aquifer wells. In the first stage of
well installation, a 10-inch borehole was advanced to
about 45 ft bgs and completed with 6-inch blank stain-
less steel casing. The surface casing was advanced until
it established a key between the "surface" casing and
the Lower Clay Unit. The borehole was grouted around
the surface casing. Once the grout around the 6-inch
surface casing had set, in the second stage, a 5%-inch
borehole was drilled through the inside of the surface
casing to a depth of 61 ft bgs. A 2-inch casing with
screen was advanced through the deeper borehole to
set the well. This borehole also was grouted around the
2-inch casing. These measures were undertaken to
prevent any DNAPL from migrating to the semi-confined
aquifer. Figure 4-11 shows the surface casing and inner
(screened well) casing for the dual-casing wells installed
at Launch Complex 34. The detailed installation method
for these wells is described below.
To verify the depth of the Lower Clay Unit (the semi-
confining unit) at each well location, a 3%-inch pilot hole
first was installed to a depth of 40 ft using a tricone roller
bit. After this pilot hole was drilled, split-spoon samples
were collected in 2-ft (or 1-ft) intervals as soils were
observed and logged in search of the top interface of the
Lower Clay Unit or aquitard. Upon retrieval of a 2-ft split-
spoon sample, the borehole was deepened to the
bottom of the previously spooned interval. Once the
previously spooned interval was drilled, the drilling rods

and bit were pulled out of the hole and replaced with a
new split spoon that was driven another 2 ft ahead of the
borehole. Standard penetration tests (i.e., blow counts)
were conducted and logged during each split-spoon
advance. The blow counts were useful in identifying the
soil types that are penetrated during spooning. They also
were useful in helping to determine the exact interval of
soil recovered from spoons that lacked total recovery.
The split-spoon soil samples were logged. The soils
were visually logged for soil type and description, photo-
ionization detector (PID) scans were run, and at least
one soil sample per 2-ft spoon interval was collected for
methanol extraction and analysis.
Once the top portion (approximately the first 1.5 ft) of the
Lower Clay Unit was retrieved by split spoons in each
borehole, the spoon and rods were pulled out of the
borehole and the hole was reamed with a 10-inch tricone
rotary drill bit to the depth of the lowest spooned interval.
Before the 6-inch diameter casing was set in the hole, a
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) slipcap was placed on the bot-
tom of the casing to keep it free of drilling mud and soil.
Use of slipcaps was an added precaution to prevent any
possibility of downward contamination. As the casing was
lowered in the hole, it was filled with clean water to pre-
vent it from becoming buoyant. When the casing was set
to the drilled depth of about 45 ft, it was grouted in place.

were drilled to approximately 60 ft bgs.
After the grout was allowed to set for at least 24 hours,
the split cap was drilled through with a 5%-inch roller bit.
Then split-spoon sampling progressed through the re-
mainder of the Lower Clay Unit and into the semi-
confined aquifer. Split-spoon samples were collected
totaling 4 ft of lifts before the hole was reamed with the
5% bit as fresh drilling mud was circulated in the hole.
Split-spooning progressed to a depth of 60 ft. Each hole
was reamed an extra foot, to 61 ft, before the screen and
casing were set. A sand pack was tremied into place
from total depth to 2 ft above the top of the well screen
(about 53 ft bgs). A bentonite seal (placed as a slurry)
then was tremied in about the sand pack before the
remainder of the casing was tremie-grouted into place
with a Type G cement and silica flour slurry.
Once the split-spoon samples showed that the Lower
Clay Unit had been reached, the 6-inch-diameter surface
casing was set and grouted into place with a Type G
(heat-resistant) cement and silica flour grout slurry. The
drilling mud used for advancing the boreholes consisted
of a product called "Super Gel-X bentonite". This pow-
dered clay material was mixed with clean water in a mud
pit that was set and sealed to the borehole beneath the
drilling platform. The drilling mud was mixed to a density
and viscosity that is greater than both groundwater and
the bulk density of soil. This mud was pumped down
through the drill pipe, out through the drill bit, and then
pushed upward (circulated) through the borehole annu-
lus into the mud pit (open space between the drilling
rods and borehole wall). Use of the mud stabilized

the borehole, even in sandy soils, enabling advancement
of the borehole in depths well below the water table
without heaving or caving. The mud sealed the borehole
walls, preventing the borehole from being invaded by
groundwaterand contaminants. The mud also lifted all of
the cuttings created by the drill bit as the hole was
advanced. Once the drilling mud rose to the top of the
annulus, it was captured in the mud pit where cuttings
were removed by a series of baffles through which the
mud was circulated.
The mud pit was monitored with a PID throughout the
drilling process. At no time did the PID detect VOCs in
the drilling mud, indicating that no significant levels of
contamination were entering the borehole and being car-
ried downward into deeper aquifer intervals as the drill-
ing advanced.
After each well was installed, the well was developed
using a 3-ft-long stainless steel bailer and a small sub-
mersible pump. A bailer was used to surge each well
and lift the coarsest sediments. A submersible pump
then was used to lift more fines that entered the well as
development progressed. A total of at least three well
volumes (approximately 27 gal) were lifted from each
well. Groundwater sampling was performed following well
development. Standard water quality parameters were
measured during sampling, and groundwater samples
were collected after these parameters became stable.
4.4 Verify Operating Requirements and
Costs of Steam Injection Technology
Another secondary objective of the demonstration was to
verify the vendor's operating requirements and cost for
the technology application. An operating summary is
provided in Section 3.2. Costs of the technology appli-
cation also were tracked by MSE, the DOE contractor
who subcontracted the steam injection vendor. Site char-
acterization costs were estimated by Battelle and

Floridan aquifer: Permeability generally very
high, yields large quantities of artesian water.
Chemical quality of the water varies from one
area to another and is the dominant factor con-
trolling utilization. A large percentage of the
groundwater used in Brevard County is from the
artesian aquifer. The Crystal River Formation will
produce large quantities of artesian water. The
Inglis Formation is expected to yield more than
the Williston Formation. Local dense, indurate
zones in the lower part of the Avon Park
Limestone restrict permeability but in general the
formation will yield large quantities of water.

5. Performance Assessment Results and Conclusions
The results of the performance assessment methodol-
ogy outlined in Section 4 are described in this section.
5.1 Change in TCE-DNAPL Mass
in the Plot
Section 4.1 describes the methodology used to estimate
the mass reduction of total TCE and DNAPL in the plot
after the SI/E application at Launch Complex 34.
Intensive soil sampling was the primary tool for esti-
mating total TCE and DNAPL mass reduction. Total TCE
refers to both dissolved-phase and DNAPL TCE. DNAPL
refers to that portion of total TCE in a soil sample that
exceeds the threshold concentration of 300 mg/kg (see
Section 2.3). Pre- and post-demonstration concentra-
tions of TCE at 12 soil coring locations (approximately
300 soil samples) inside the steam injection plot were
tabulated and graphed to qualitatively identify the
changes in TCE-DNAPL mass distribution and the effi-
ciency of the SI/E application in different parts of the plot
(Section 5.1.1). In addition, TCE-DNAPL mass reduction
was quantified by two methods:
Linear interpolation by contouring (Section 5.1.2)
Kriging (Section 5.1.3)
These quantitative techniques for estimating TCE-
DNAPL mass reduction due to the SI/E application are
described in Section 4.1; the results are described in
Sections 5.1.2 through 5.1.4.
5.1.1 Qualitative Evaluation of Changes
in TCE-DNAPL Distribution
Figure 5-1 charts the pre- and post-demonstration con-
centrations of TCE in the soil samples from the 12 coring
locations in the SI/E plot. This chart allows a simple
numerical comparison of the pre- and post-demonstration
TCE concentrations at paired locations, as well as the
soil sample color observed at each 2-ft interval.
The chart in Figure 5-1 shows that, at several locations
in the plot, TCE concentrations were reduced consider-
ably in all three units. The thicker horizontal lines in the
chart indicate the depths at which the Middle Fine-
Grained Unit was encountered at each location. As seen
in Figure 5-1, the highest pre-demonstration contamina-
tion detected was in the deep samples from soil cores
SB-36 (30,593 mg/kg in the Middle Fine-Grained Unit
and 21,402 mg/kg and 25,433 mg/kg in the Lower Sand
Unit) and SB-38 (24,548 mg/kg in the Lower Sand Unit).
Figures 5-2, 5-3, and 5-4 show representative pre- and
post-demonstration distributions of TCE in soil from the
Upper Sand Unit, Middle Fine-Grained Unit, and Lower
Sand Unit, respectively, in the SI/E plot and surrounding
aquifer. A graphical representation of the TCE data
illustrates the horizontal and vertical extent of the initial
contaminant distribution and the subsequent changes in
TCE concentrations. The yellow and red colors indicate
DNAPL (TCE >300 mg/kg). In general, the portions of
the aquifer in the center of the plot (SB-36, SB-37, and
SB-38) had the highest pre-demonstration contamination
generally occurring right on top of the Lower Clay Unit.
Figure 5-5 depicts pre- and post-demonstration three-
dimensional (3-D) DNAPL distributions across all depths
of the SI/E plot. The post-demonstration coring showed
that the SI/E process caused considerable decline in TCE
concentrations in several parts of the plot and in all three
stratigraphic units. However, some sections of cores SB-
232 and SB-233, collected under the Engineering Sup-
port Building, contained considerable post-demonstration
levels of both total TCE and DNAPL. These results indi-
cate that obtaining good steam distribution under the
building may have been difficult. In addition, there was no
steam extraction along the southern boundary of the
demonstration plot under the building, which may have
contributed to the residual TCE concentrations found in
soil cores under the building following SI/E treatment.
In the portion of the demonstration plot outside the build-
ing, much of the aquifer was free of DNAPL after treat-
ment. SI/E appears to have reduced DNAPL from some
difficult regions to access, such as the Middle Fine-
Grained Unit. Some DNAPL remained at the base of the

Lower Sand Unit, which is a difficult region for the steam
to access. (Steam, being lighter than water, has an
upward trajectory after injection, and heating the base of
the aquifer is typically difficult with steam injection.)
Figures 5-6, 5-7, and 5-8 show the distribution of tem-
perature in the shallow, intermediate, and deep wells,
respectively, in the Launch Complex 34 aquifer, as mea-
sured by downhole thermocouples in November 2001
during the demonstration, toward the end of the SI/E
application. The temperature levels in the monitoring
wells are a measure of the aquifer temperature. These
figures show that all three layersshallow, intermediate,
and deepeventually were heated well and probably
achieved the desired boiling temperatures during the
demonstration. However, the temperatures along the
southern boundary of the plot under the building were
not as high as the other portions of the plot. A compari-
son of the temperatures in Figures 5-6, 5-7 and 5-8 and
the 3-D distribution of DNAPL in Figure 5-5(b) suggests
that the SI/E treatment was not as effective at reducing
DNAPL concentrations in zones that were not heated to
the target temperature, such as the southern plot bound-
ary under the Engineering Services Building.
In summary, a qualitative examination of the TCE-DNAPL
and temperature data indicates that the SI/E treatment
generally achieved reasonably good heating in most parts
of the plot, even in the relatively low-permeability Mid-
dle Fine-Grained Unit. Heating was not as thorough
under the building and at the base of the Lower Sand
Unit (just above the Lower Clay Unit). The highest post-
demonstration TCE concentration was found in the north-
western corner of the plot in the Lower Sand Unit near
the clay aquitard, indicating that achieving sufficient steam
distribution at deeper depths may have been difficult due
to density differences. However, most regions of the
demonstration plot showed significant reductions in TCE
levels after steam treatment.
5.1.2 TCE-DNAPL Mass Reduction
Estimation by Linear Interpolation
Section 4.1.1 describes the use of contouring to estimate
pre- and post-demonstration TCE-DNAPL masses and
calculate TCE-DNAPL mass reduction within the treat-
ment plot. In this method, EarthVision, a 3-D contour-
ing software, is used to group the TCE concentration

distribution in the SI/E plot into 3-D shells (or bands) of
equal concentration. The concentration in each shell is
multiplied by the volume of the shell and the bulk density
of the soil to arrive at the TCE mass in that shell. The
masses in the individual shells are added to arrive at a
TCE mass for the entire plot; this process is conducted
separately for the pre- and post-demonstration TCE dis-
tributions in the SI/E plot. The pre-demonstration TCE-
DNAPL mass in the entire plot then can be compared
with the post-demonstration mass in the entire plot to
estimate TCE-DNAPL reduction. The results of this eval-
uation are described in this section.
Table 5-1 presents the estimated masses of total TCE
and DNAPL in the SI/E plot and the three individual
stratigraphic units. Under pre-demonstration conditions,
soil sampling indicated an estimated 10,435 kg of total
TCE (dissolved and free phase), approximately 9,301 kg
of which was DNAPL. Following the demonstration, the
soil sampling results indicated an estimated 1,546 kg of
total TCE remained in the plot; approximately 984 kg of
this remnant TCE was DNAPL. Therefore, the overall
mass reduction estimated by linear interpolation (con-
touring) was 85% of total TCE and 89% of DNAPL.
Using linear interpolation, the highest estimated total
mass reduction (88% of total TCE and 94% of DNAPL)
was achieved in the Upper Sand Unit (Table 5-1). More
than 89% of the pre-demonstration DNAPL mass was
located in the Lower Sand Unit, and this unit also had
the greatest amount (779 kg) of DNAPL remaining after
SI/E treatment (see Figure 5-5b).
5.1.3 TCE Mass Reduction Estimation
by Kriging
Section 4.1.2 describes the use of kriging to estimate the
pre- and post-demonstration TCE masses in the aquifer.
Whereas the contouring method interpolates the TCE
measurements at discrete sampling points to estimate
TCE concentrations at unsampled points in the plot,
kriging takes into account the spatial variability and
uncertainty of the TCE distribution when estimating TCE
concentrations (or masses) at unsampled points. Conse-
quently, kriging provides a range of probable values
rather than single TCE concentration estimates. Kriging
is a good way of obtaining a global estimate (estimate
for one of the three stratigraphic units or the entire plot)
for the parameters of interest (such as pre- and post-
demonstration TCE masses), when the parameter is
heterogeneously distributed.
Appendix A.1.1 contains a description of the application
of kriging to the TCE distribution in the SI/E plot. Table
5-2 summarizes the total TCE mass estimates obtained
from kriging. This table contains an average and range
for each global estimate (Upper Sand Unit, Middle Fine-
Grained Unit, Lower Sand Unit, and the entire plot total).
Because limiting the evaluation to DNAPL instead of
total TCE constrains the number of usable data points to
those with TCE concentrations greater than 300 mg/kg,
kriging was conducted on total TCE values only.
The pre- and post-demonstration total TCE mass ranges
estimated from kriging match the total TCE estimate ob-
tained from contouring relatively well, probably because
the high sampling density (almost 300 soil samples in
the plot per event) allows linear interpolation by contour-
ing to capture much of the variability of the TCE distribu-
tion in the plot. Kriging shows that an estimated 80 to
90% (85% on average) pre-demonstration TCE mass
reduction was achieved from the entire plot after the SI/E
application. Using kriging estimates, the TCE mass
reduction was highest in the Lower Sand Unit, followed
by the Middle Fine-Grained Unit. An interesting observa-
tion from Table 5-2 is that the estimated ranges for the
pre- and post-demonstration TCE masses do not over-
lap, either for the entire plot or for the Lower Sand or
Middle Fine-Grained units. This result indicates that the
mass reduction due to SI/E application is significant at
the 80% confidence level (i.e., at least 80% of the pre-
demonstration TCE mass is likely to have been reduced
due to the SI/E treatment). The mass reduction esti-
mates obtained in the SI/E plot by the two methods
(contouring and kriging) are consistent with each other.

5.1.4 TCE-DNAPL Mass Reduction
Summary
In summary, the evaluation of TCE concentrations in soil
indicates the following:
In the horizontal plane, the highest pre-
demonstration DNAPL concentration was in the
western half of the SI/E plot, especially under the
Engineering Support Building.
In the vertical plane, the highest pre-demonstration
DNAPL concentration was immediately above the
Lower Clay Unit.
Linear interpolation (by contouring) of the pre- and
post-demonstration TCE-DNAPL soil concentra-
tions showed that approximately 89% of the esti-
mated pre-demonstration DNAPL mass in the SI/E
plot was reduced after the steam application.
Therefore, the DNAPL reduction achieved by the
SI/E technology was close to the targeted 90%
mass removal goal.
A statistical evaluation (kriging) of the pre- and
post-demonstration TCE concentrations in soil
showed that between 80 and 90% of the estimated
pre-demonstration total TCE mass in the SI/E plot
was reduced after the SI/E application. Total TCE
includes both dissolved-phase TCE and DNAPL.
The kriging results are generally consistent with the
linear interpolation results and indicate a high
probability (80% confidence level) that the mass
reduction estimates are accurate.
Kriging indicated that total TCE reduction was
highest in the Lower Sand Unit with the average of
88% reduction, which contained the largest pre-
demonstration TCE mass as shown in Figure 5-5.
However, much of the TCE-DNAPL remaining after
the SI/E application was near the base of the
aquifer (immediately above the Lower Clay Unit), a
location that may have been difficult for the steam
to access because of density differences.
5.2 Changes in Aquifer
Characteristics
This section describes the short-term changes in aquifer
characteristics created by the application of steam the
SI/E technology at Launch Complex 34, as measured by
monitoring conducted before, during, and immediately
after the demonstration. The affected aquifer character-
istics that were measured during the demonstration
include:
Changes in aquifer CVOC levels (see Appendix C
for detailed results)
Changes in aquifer geochemistry (see Appendix D
for detailed results)
Changes in the hydraulic properties of the aquifer
(see Appendix B for detailed results)
Changes in the aquifer microbiology (see
Appendix E for detailed results).
Table 5-3 lists the pre- and post-demonstration levels of
various groundwater parameters that indicate aquifer
quality and the impact of the SI/E treatment. Other
important organic and inorganic aquifer parameters are
discussed in the text. A separate microbiological evalu-
ation of the aquifer is described in Appendix E.
One challenge with interpreting post-demonstration
groundwater data is that the vendor extracted 4,013,588
gal of water from the aquifer during the SI/E treatment.
After accounting for the 1,409,810 kg of steam (equi-
valent to 372,473 gal of water) injected in the aquifer, the
amount of water extracted from the aquifer in and
around the demonstration plot represents approximately
11 pore volumes of the demonstration plot. Because the
groundwater extraction wells were located around the
perimeter of the plot and therefore drew water toward
the plot boundaries from both inside and outside of the
plot, an assumption could be made that roughly half of
the extracted groundwater came from inside the plot

(i.e., approximately 5 pore volumes). The groundwater
extraction rate was not measured for each individual
well, but the overall extraction rate averaged 22 gpm
during the demonstration. It is difficult to determine if any
change in TCE mass measured in groundwater is
attributable to the SI/E treatment or to the groundwater
extraction. The vendor was not required to track any
parameter other than VOCs in the extracted fluids and
vapor, which otherwise may have provided information
on the amount of degradation occurring as a result of the
SI/E treatment. Even if the vendor had analyzed other
parameters, such as chloride, uncertainty would still be
associated with how much the surrounding aquifer
contributed to any changes in dissolved parameters.
Therefore, the soil analysis reported in Section 5.1 is
probably a better indicator of system performance than
the groundwater analysis.
5.2.1 Changes in CVOC Levels
in Groundwater
CVOC levels were measured in the SI/E plot wells (PA-
16 and -17) before and after the demonstration.
Samples were not collected from these wells during the
demonstration because of safety issues (e.g., high
temperature-pressurized wells) and because the wells
were covered by the plenum over the plot, and were
therefore inaccessible. CVOC levels were measured in
wells around the perimeter of the plot (PA-14, PA-18,
PA-19, and BAT-5) and in one distant well cluster (PA-1)
before, during, and after the demonstration to evaluate
the short-term changes in CVOC levels in groundwater.
Appendix C tabulates the levels of TCE, c/s-1,2-DCE,
and vinyl chloride found in groundwater collected from
these wells.
Figures 5-9, 5-10, and 5-11 show the pre- and post-
demonstration dissolved TCE concentrations in the
shallow (approximately 22 ft bgs), intermediate (approxi-
mately 29 ft bgs), and deep wells (approximately 45 ft
bgs), respectively, in the SI/E plot and around the perim-
eter of the plot. Pre-demonstration levels of TCE in wells
inside the plot (PA-16 and -17) ranged from <2 to
650,000 ug/L in the shallow wells, 81 to 210,000 ug/L in
the intermediate wells, and 280,000 to 860,000 ug/L in
the deep wells. After the demonstration, TCE levels rose
in some wells and declined in others. As tabulated in
Appendix C, TCE levels rose in the PA-16 cluster, but
declined in the PA-17 cluster. PA-16 is closer to the
ISCO plot. TCE levels in PA-16 (S, I, and D) were rela-
tively low before the steam injection demonstration,
probably because of an influx of permanganate from the
ISCO plot, but rose after the demonstration. The TCE
concentrations in PA-16 and PA-17 may have been
influenced by an influx of water from inside and outside
the test plot due to the groundwater extraction. The PA-
17 cluster, which is closer to the northern boundary of
the plot and further away from the neighboring
demonstration plots than PA-16, showed a significant
decrease in TCE levels. This could be due to a reduction
in DNAPL from the demonstration plot either from the
steam injection wells and/or from an influx of cleaner
water from the north.
The TCE levels in the perimeter wells PA-19, BAT-5,
and PA-14 on three sides of the plot generally declined.
In PA-19, TCE levels declined from 130,000 ug/L to
93 ug/L in the shallow well, from 483,000 ug/L to
248,000 ug/L in the intermediate well, and from
306,000 ug/L to 2,280 ug/L in the deep well. Similar
reductions were observed in perimeter well BAT-5. Even
the distant well PA-1 on the north side showed a decline
in TCE levels. The TCE levels in the perimeter well PA-
18 on the south side of the SI/E plot (and inside the
Engineering Support Building) remained persistently
high. This may indicate that the perimeter wells that
were on the cleaner (northern) or remediated (eastern
and western) sides of the SI/E plot showed a decrease
in TCE levels because most of the remaining TCE on
these three sides was dissolved phase. On the other
hand, PA-18 on the south side is inside the Engineering
Support Building, where DNAPL is present and has not
undergone any remediation. These results, as well as
the general trend in the perimeter wells during interim
sampling events, indicate that the vendor probably
achieved good hydraulic control. Most of the ground-
water flow during the SI/E demonstration occurred
inward toward the steam plot. Except on the south side,
where DNAPL already was present, none of the trends
in the perimeter wells indicate that any TCE or DNAPL
migrated out from the SI/E plot.
Inside the SI/E plot, concentrations of c/s-1,2-DCE in
groundwater increased at the PA-16 well cluster, although
TCE levels also increased in this cluster. Both TCE and
c/s-1,2-DCE could have re-equilibrated in the eastern
half of the cell after the permanganate from the neigh-
boring plot dissipated due to groundwater extraction in
the SI/E plot. The levels of c/s-1,2-DCE decreased in the
PA-17 well cluster. Vinyl chloride concentrations gener-
ally increased in the PA-16 wells (because of higher
detection limits before the demonstration, it was difficult
to compare vinyl chloride levels in PA-17). In the perim-
eter wells, there was no clear trend in concentrations of
c/s-1,2-DCE and vinyl chloride between pre- and post-
demonstration sampling events, with levels both increas-
ing and decreasing depending on the location and depth
of the well. It is unclear whether there was a net accum-
ulation or a redistribution of c/s-1,2-DCE and vinyl
chloride.

5.2.2 Changes in Aquifer Geochemistry
The geochemical composition of both groundwater and
soil were examined to evaluate the effects of the SI/E
application.
5.2.2.1 Changes in Groundwater Chemistry
Among the field parameter measurements (tabulated in
Appendix D) conducted in the affected aquifer before,
during, and after the demonstration, the following trends
were observed:
Groundwater pH in the plot ranged from 6.7 to 9.1
before the demonstration to 6.6 to 8.7 after the
demonstration.
ORP varied, from -105 to -163 mV before the
demonstration to -231 to +113 mV after the
demonstration. The ORP in well PA-16S was
measured at +534 mV before the demonstration;
this value is suspect due to interference from
residual permanganate remaining in the area from
the ISCO demonstration in the neighboring plot.
DO ranged from 0.36 to 2.73 mg/L before the dem-
onstration to 0.41 to 0.74 mg/L after the demonstra-
tion. Due to the limitations of measuring DO with a
flowthrough cell, groundwater with DO levels below
0.5 or even 1.0 is considered anaerobic. Except for
the shallower regions, the aquifer was mostly
anaerobic throughout the demonstration. It is
difficult to determine why DO levels did not increase
more after the co-air injection. The residence time
of the steam may not have been long enough to
significantly impact the DO levels in groundwater.
The DO in well PA-16S measured 4.6 mg/L before
the demonstration, which is questionable due to
suspected interference from residual permanganate
remaining in the area from the ISCO demonstration.
Other groundwater measurements indicative of aquifer
quality included inorganic ions, BOD, and TOC. The
results of these measurements are as follows:
Calcium levels did not display a clear trend. Con-
centrations ranged from 28 to 111 mg/L before the
demonstration to 5.3 to 94 mg/L after the demon-
stration. In the PA-16 cluster, calcium levels in
groundwater increased in the shallow and inter-
mediate depths but decreased at deep depths
between pre- and post-demonstration sampling. In
PA-17, calcium levels decreased in the shallow and
deep depths, and remained relatively constant at
the intermediate depth. Calcium and alkalinity lev-
els can decrease after heating because calcium
carbonate solubility decreases with increasing
temperature. No such clear trend was apparent at
the site, probably because the constant pumping at
22 gpm from the extraction wells by the vendor
caused considerable influx of water from outside
the plot. In addition, carbon dioxide degassing may
be a more important catalyst for calcite precipitation
than the effect of temperature on calcite solubility.
Magnesium levels also did not show a clear trend in
the groundwater sampled from the plot before and
after the demonstration. Magnesium levels in well
PA-16 ranged from <2 to 179 mg/L prior to the
demonstration and 17 to 38 mg/L after the demon-
stration, with an increase seen in the shallow and
intermediate depths but a decrease at deep depth.
In the PA-17 cluster, magnesium concentrations
ranged from 73 to 101 mg/L before the demonstra-
tion to 1.5 to 20 mg/L after the demonstration. A
decrease was seen at all depths for wells PA-17.
Groundwater alkalinity in the plot generally
decreased, with concentrations ranging from 380 to
2,500 mg/L before the demonstration to 193 to
468 mg/L after the demonstration. The alkalinity in
the plot prior to the demonstration appears elevated
compared to the distant well PA-1, and may be due
to the influence of the ISCO and resistive heating
technology demonstrations conducted in nearby
plots.
Chloride levels were already relatively high in the
aquifer before the SI/E demonstration, especially in
the deeper units. Chloride was generated in both
the neighboring plots during the ISCO and resistive
heating demonstrations. It is possible that some of
this chloride was displaced into the SI/E plot and
was measured during the pre-demonstration
sampling. Following the SI/E application, chloride
concentrations decreased considerably in the three
stratigraphic units. In the shallow wells, chloride
decreased from a range of 297 to <1,000 mg/L
before the demonstration to 89 to 160 mg/L after
the demonstration. In the intermediate wells, chlo-
ride decreased from 43 to 448 mg/L before the
demonstration to 86 to 93 mg/L after the demon-
stration. In the deep wells, chloride levels
decreased from 305 to 415 mg/L before the demon-
stration to 144 to 313 mg/L after the demonstration.
Of the six wells sampled in the plot prior to the dem-
onstration, four wells were above the 250-mg/L sec-
ondary drinking water limit for chloride. After the
demonstration, only one well remained above that
limit. Again, chloride levels in the plot probably
were diluted by the constant groundwater extraction
that resulted in the equivalent of 11 test plot pore
volumes of water being extracted during the
demonstration.

Manganese levels in the plot generally decreased
slightly from 0.18 to 5.3 mg/L before the demonstra-
tion to 0.01 to 1.03 mg/L after the demonstration. In
PA-16S, manganese concentration level was
667 mg/L before the demonstration due to the influx
of potassium permanganate from the ISCO plot.
Thus, this level was not included in the concentra-
tion range. Manganese has a secondary drinking
water limit of 0.05 mg/L, which was exceeded dur-
ing and after the demonstration. Perimeter wells
also showed relatively unchanged levels of manga-
nese. Dissolved manganese consists of the spe-
cies Mn7+ (from excess permanganate ion) and
Mn2+ (generated when MnO2 is reduced by native
organic matter); both species could have migrated
into the SI/E plot before the demonstration.
Iron levels in the SI/E plot increased in well PA-16,
from pre-demonstration levels of <0.1 to 0.28 mg/L,
to post-demonstration groundwater levels of 0.30 to
2.47 mg/L. Iron levels decreased in well PA-17,
from pre-demonstration levels of 0.58 to 3.9 mg/L,
to post-demonstration groundwater levels of
<0.1 mg/L. The secondary drinking water limit for
iron is 0.3 mg/L, which was exceeded in some of
the wells both before and after the demonstration.
Sodium levels decreased slightly in general across
the plot, from 42 to 213 mg/L before the demon-
stration to 31 to 184 mg/L after the demonstration.
Potassium levels generally decreased across the
plot, from a range of 33 to 1,600 mg/L before the
demonstration to 92 to 335 mg/L after the demon-
stration. However, potassium levels in the deep well
PA-17D increased from 103 mg/L before the dem-
onstration to 1,860 mg/L after the demonstration.
This may indicate redistribution of the potassium
that entered the plot during the ISCO
demonstration.
Sulfate levels remained relatively constant or
increased slightly in groundwater sampled from the
shallow and intermediate wells of PA-17, with
concentrations of 104 to <1,000 mg/L before the
demonstration to 91 to 466 mg/L after the demon-
stration. However, sulfate levels decreased sharply
in the deep well PA-16D, from 681 mg/L to
121 mg/L, and increased sharply in the deep well
PA-17, from 202 mg/L to 1,960 mg/L.
TDS levels varied considerably in all three units
between pre- and post-demonstration groundwater
sampling. In the shallow wells, TDS levels fell from
2,470 mg/L to 728 mg/L in well PA-16S and from
1,740 mg/L to 1,250 mg/L in well PA-17S. In the
intermediate wells, TDS remained fairly constant,
from 815 mg/L to 886 mg/L in well PA-161, and fell
slightly in well PA-171 from 1,360 to 1,200 mg/L. In
the deep wells, TDS decreased in well PA-16D from
4,510 mg/L to 1,070 mg/L, and increased in well PA-
17D from 1,200 mg/L to 4,650 mg/L. The secondary
drinking water limit for TDS is 500 mg/L, which was
exceeded both before and after the demonstration.
TDS generally decreased after the demonstration in
the perimeter wells surrounding the plot.
BOD declined in the demonstration plot, with levels
ranging from <3.0 to 84 mg/L before steam injection
to 4.2 to 16.6 mg/L after the demonstration. Lower
BOD levels suggest that the high temperatures
caused by the steam injection may have promoted
microbial activity that consumed available carbon
sources. Section 5.2.4 and Appendix E contain
details on the microbiology of the demonstration
plot. Fresh steam condensate also may have
contributed to reduced BOD levels.
TOO in groundwater did not display any clear trends
in the demonstration plot. In general, groundwater
from PA-16S and PA-17S contained the highest
levels of TOC before the demonstration (1,680 mg/L
and 74 mg/L, respectively), and decreased after the
demonstration (61.5 mg/L and 26.8 mg/L, respec-
tively). At intermediate depths, TOC in groundwater
increased from 30.5 mg/L to 56 mg/L in well PA-161,
and from 2.1 mg/L to 29.2 mg/L in well PA-171. At
deep depths, TOC in groundwater decreased from
134 mg/L to 73.5 mg/L in well PA-16D; however,
TOC increased from 19.6 mg/L before the demon-
stration to 79.5 mg/L after the demonstration in
groundwater collected from well PA-17D.
The effect of the SI/E application on the aquifer micro-
biology was evaluated in a separate study, as described
in Appendix E.
In general, no strong trends were discernible in the
groundwater during the SI/E demonstration. The extrac-
tion of groundwater by the vendor from in and around
the demonstration plot to maintain hydraulic control most
likely caused a sizable influx of groundwater from the sur-
rounding aquifer that obscured the changes in the SI/E
plot that could be attributable to the steam treatment.
5.2.2.2 Changes in Soil Geochemistry
In addition to the groundwater monitoring of geochemical
parameters, soil samples were collected before and after
the demonstration for TOC measurements (Table 5-4).
Soil TOC concentrations ranged from 5,390 to 47,800
mg/kg before the demonstration to 240 to 2,160 mg/kg
after the demonstration. Although the data are limited,
the results suggest that the high temperatures associ-
ated with SI/E resulted in significant consumption of the

5.2.3 Changes in the Hydraulic Properties
of the Aquifer
Table 5-5 shows the results of pre- and post-
demonstration slug tests conducted in the SI/E plot
wells. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer remained
relatively unchanged during the SI/E application. In PA-
17S, the hydraulic conductivity dropped considerably,
but no widespread trend was discernible in the demon-
stration plot. Details on the slug tests may be found in

5.2.4 Changes in the Microbiology
of the SI/E Plot
Microbiological analysis of soil and groundwater samples
was conducted to evaluate the effect of the steam injec-
tion application on the microbial community (see Appen-
dix E for details). Samples were collected before and
after (six months after) the SI/E technology demon-
stration. For each monitoring event, soil samples were
collected from five locations in the plot and five locations
in a control (unaffected) area. At each location, four
depths were sampledcapillary fringe, Upper Sand Unit,
Middle Fine-Grained Unit, and Lower Sand Unit. The
results are presented in Appendix E.
Table 5-6 summarizes the soil analysis results. The geo-
metric mean typically is the mean of the five samples
collected in each stratigraphic unit in the plot. The six
months of time that elapsed since the end of the SI/E
application and collection of the microbial samples may
have given time for microbial populations to reestablish.
Because microbial counts can be highly variable, only
order-of-magnitude changes in counts were considered
significant. In the Middle Fine-Grained Unit and Lower
Sand Unit, aerobic microbial populations decreased. In
the capillary fringe and in the Lower Sand Unit, anaerobic
microbial populations decreased. In other stratigraphic
units, the populations appeared to be relatively constant.
The microbial counts indicate that microbial populations
may have declined during the steam treatment, although
they could re-establish in the plot overtime.
5.2.5 Summary of Changes in
Aquifer Quality
In most groundwater parameters measured before, after,
and during the steam injection demonstration, there
were no strongly discernible trends. Due to the con-
straints of the demonstration plot geometry and the need
to remediate a small part of a larger DNAPL source, the
vendor extracted more than 4 million gallons of water
(22 gpm average), or almost 11 pore volumes of the
demonstration plot to maintain hydraulic control. This
large influx of groundwater from surrounding regions of
the aquifer may have masked many of the changes in
the demonstration plot that could have resulted from the
SI/E application. Because extraction was done along all
four sides of the plot, the water drawn into the plot came
from parts of the aquifer that were under different
influences. On the east side of the SI/E plot is the ISCO
plot that possibly had elevated levels of residual potas-
sium permanganate, alkalinity, and chloride from the
ISCO demonstration. On the west side of the SI/E plot is
the resistive heating plot that possibly had elevated
levels of chloride, sodium, and alkalinity. On the south
side of the SI/E plot is the Engineering Support Building,
under which lies more DNAPL. On the north side of the
plot, the TCE contamination starts receding and the
aquifer becomes progressively cleaner. Drawing water
from all four sides, with different water chemistries on
each side, makes it difficult to isolate the changes occur-
ring within SI/E plot itself. Therefore, the groundwater
chemistry in the SI/E plot that was tracked through the
SI/E demonstration did not show any strongly discernible
trends attributable to the steam injection/extraction.

CFU = colony-forming units.
MPN = most probable number.
In general though, there was no sign in the perimeter
wells (outside the SI/E area) of any migration of TCE
from the SI/E plot. TCE concentrations in the perimeter
wells remained constant or declined. The decline was
more noticeable on the north side where the groundwater
extraction may have acted to retract the plume toward
the source and pull more water from cleaner areas.
The soil parameters that were measured in the SI/E plot
showed more discernible trends than the groundwater.
As described in Section 5.1, TCE levels in the soil
dropped significantly indicating removal of DNAPL mass.
Microbial counts in the soil samples varied, but popula-
tions did seem to have dropped somewhat in many parts
of the SI/E plot. Although microbial populations were
reduced, much of the population survived the thermal
treatment. In fact, the TOC content of the soil and BOD
content of the water declined, indicating that there
possibly may have been heightened microbial activity in
some parts of the plot due to the steaming. TOC in the
plot soil was potentially transformed or oxidized, biotic-
ally or abiotically, during the steam injection/extraction.
These results are important because natural attenuation
of the residual contamination is a key feature of any
DNAPL source removal action.
Except for a sharp decrease in hydraulic conductivity in
Well PA-17S, there was no noticeable change in the per-
meability of the aquifer, following the SI/E treatment.
5.3 Fate of the TCE-DNAPL Mass
in the Demonstration Plot
This part of the assessment was the most difficult be-
cause the DNAPL could have taken one or more of the
following pathways when subjected to the SI/E treat-
ment:
TCE recovery in the vapor and groundwater
recovery system
TCE-DNAPL degradation through biological or
abiotic mechanisms
TCE-DNAPL migration to or from surrounding
regions
Potential TCE losses during post-demonstration
sampling of hot soil cores.
5.3.1 TCE Recovery in the Vapor
Recovery System
Vapor sampling conducted by the SI/E vendor indicates
that 7,400 ฑ 2,200 kg of total TCE was recovered in the
vapor extraction system. The ฑ30% range is necessi-
tated by the uncertainties in the measurement method
used by the vendor (Parkinson, 2002). The initial esti-
mate of total TCE mass in the subsurface soil was
between 11,150 to 14,150 kg (from pre-demonstration
kriging results). The total TCE recovered in the vapor
recovery system is between 37 to 87% of the initial TCE
mass estimated in the plot. Other possible pathways that
the TCE removed may have taken are discussed in sub-
sections 5.3.2 to 5.3.4.
5.3.2 Biotic or Abiotic Degradation
of TCE
It is possible that some TCE was reductively dechlori-
nated due to microbial interactions. The biological sam-
pling (see Section 5.2.4) indicates that the microbes did
survive the heat treatment. Levels of c/s-1,2-DCE, a
degradation byproduct, were elevated in some monitor-
ing wells in and around the SI/E plot (see the c/s-1,2-
DCE analysis summary in Table 5-7). On the other hand,

2001.
(b) Well clusters PA-18 S/I/D and PA-19 S/I/D were installed and
sampled in January 2001 for pre-demonstration data.
c/s-1,2-DCE levels dropped sharply in some wells
(PA-17S/I/D) following the demonstration. TOC levels in
the soil and BOD levels in the water declined during the
demonstration (see Table 5-8), indicating consumption
of carbon sources and heightened microbial activity.
Some abiotic destruction of TCE also is possible. HPO
of TCE at higher temperatures, especially in the pres-
ence of air, is claimed as one of the features of the SI/E
technology. Mineralization of TCE generally is accom-
panied by elevation of chloride and alkalinity levels in the
aquifer. However, because of the large influx (approxi-
mately 11 pore volumes) of water from outside the plot,
chloride and alkalinity trends attributable to the SI/E
technology were difficult to discern (see Tables 5-8 and
5-9). As shown in Figures 5-12 to 5-14, the changes in
chloride levels due to the TCE mineralization is very
minimal.

5.3.3.1 Hydraulic Gradients
Hydraulic gradients (water-level measurements) can be
used to determine the potential for movement of dis-
solved and solvent phase constituents into and out of the
demonstration plots. As mentioned in Section 5.2, pre-
demonstration hydraulic gradients in the Launch Com-
plex 34 aquifer are relatively flat in all three stratigraphic
units. After the demonstration, hydraulic gradients (see
Figures 5-15 to 5-17) were measured in February 2002
shortly after the injection and vacuum extraction systems
were shut off.
During the demonstration, the monitoring wells inside the
plot were not available for monitoring. However, during
one monitoring event (November 2001) while steam was
being injected, some data indicated the presence of
radially inward gradients toward the SI/E plot (see Fig-
ures 5-18, 5-19, and 5-20). This evaluation was ham-
pered by the fact that water-level measurements could

not be conducted inside the plot. However, inward gradi-
ents likely occurred because water was being extracted
at an average rate of 22 gpm inside the plot to maintain
hydraulic control. Therefore, it is unlikely that any out-
ward gradients from the SI/E plot caused any DNAPL to
migrate outside.
5.3.3.2 Temperature
Temperature measurements conducted with a downhole
thermocouple and the preconstructed thermocouples in
the surficial aquifer in November 2001, are shown in Fig-
ures 5-6, 5-7, and 5-8 for the shallow, intermediate, and
deep wells, respectively, in the steam injection plot and
vicinity. As expected, the largest increase in temperature
was in the middle of the steam injection plot. Temper-
ature increased noticeably in all thermocouples (TMP-6
through TMP-13 installed by Battelle, TetraTech, and
FSU but remained at pre-demonstration levels in the
perimeter and distant wells. The temperature plots mea-
sured by the vendor are shown in Appendix F.
Post-demonstration soil cores collected in the SI/E plot
and on the south side of the plot (inside the Engineering
Service Building) also were warm, indicating that heat
generated by the steam injection had spread to the sur-
rounding regions through conduction and/or convection.
The temperature data indicate that DNAPL in the SI/E
plot and vicinity had the potential to be mobilized by
convection and hydraulic pressure. Generally, residual
DNAPL cannot be mobilized at ambient temperatures;
heating reduces surface tension of the DNAPL, making it
more amenable to movement in the aquifer. However,
DNAPL migration depends on the amount and distribu-
tion of DNAPL present.
5.3.3.3 TCE Measurements in
Perimeter Wells
TCE measurements also were conducted in perimeter
and distant wells for the groundwater monitoring (see
Appendix C). Figures 5-21 and 5-22 show the TCE
trends observed in the perimeter wells. During the SI/E
application, TCE levels in the perimeter wells showed
very little change except in PA-19S, where TCE levels
declined considerably. This could be because continu-
ous extraction of groundwater may have caused the
plume on the north side of the plot to retract toward the
source, thus drawing cleaner water from more distant
parts of the aquifer. No free-phase DNAPL was ob-
served in any of the perimeter wells. Figure 5-23 shows
the TCE trends observed in distant well cluster PA-1,
which is in a northeast direction from the plot. TCE levels
in PA-1S and PA-11 remained relatively constant, but
TCE levels in PA-1D rose. The reason for this increase
is not clear.
5.3.3.4 Surface Emission Tests
Surface emission tests were conducted (as described in
Appendix F) to evaluate the possibility of solvent losses
to the atmosphere. During the demonstration, surface
emission tests were done just beyond the boundary of
the plenum. Before and after the demonstration, surface
emission tests were conducted inside the SI/E plot.
Background samples were collected in areas distant
from the DNAPL source areas, where the aquifer was
expected to be relatively clean. Ambient air samples
were collected at the same locations as the regular sam-
ples, except that the sample collection canister was held
at shoulder level above the ground surface. Figure F-1 in
Appendix F shows the sample locations where the sur-
face emissions samples were collected.
As shown in Table 5-10, there was a noticeable increase
in TCE levels in the surface emissions, compared to the
background levels, during the demonstration and after
the demonstration. This indicated that some loss of TCE
to the ambient air occurred around the plot during the
treatment and that the vapor extraction system was not
100% efficient. Some surface emission samples col-
lected near the infiltration gallery indicated elevated lev-
els of TCE during the demonstration. It is possible that
the warm temperature of the discharged water in the
infiltration gallery led to volatilization, which could explain
the elevated levels of TCE found in surface emission
samples collected near the gallery. After the demonstra-
tion and after the vapor recovery system had been shut
down, surface emissions tests continued to show ele-
vated levels of TCE. This indicated that the aquifer, which
was still heated, was continuing to vaporize TCE. It
should be noted that at no time were TCE levels in ambi-
ent air present at levels harmful to on-site personnel.
5.3.3.5 Potential for DNAPL Migration to the
Lower Clay Unit and Semi-Confined Aquifer
The geologic logs of the three semi-confined aquifer
wells are provided in Appendix A. Their locations are
shown in Figure 4-8 in Section 4.3.1. Table 5-11 shows
the depths and thicknesses of the Lower Clay Unit
(aquitard) and the screened intervals of the wells in-
stalled. Figure 5-24 is a geologic cross section across
the three demonstration plots showing the varying thick-
ness of the aquitard. The aquitard is thinnest in the resis-
tive heating plot, where it is only about 1.5 ft thick. The
thickness of the aquitard increases in the eastward and
northward directions.
Split-spoon samples of the Lower Clay Unit show it to be
a medium gray-colored clay with moderate to high plas-
ticity. The clay is overlain by a silt zone which in turn is
overlain by sand. The entire sand-silt-clay sequence

respect to grain size. In PA-21, the overlying sand and
silt intervals appeared to be more contaminated (PID
reading above 2,000 ppm). The clay itself was generally
less contaminated, but lower PID readings in the clay
may be due to the fact that volatilization of organic con-
taminants in clayey soils occurs more slowly. Sandier
soils were encountered directly below the confining unit.
Only at the PA-20 well did soils underlying the confining
unit appear to be clean.
Soil samples were collected for lab analysis from each
split spoon. Care was taken to collect soil samples of
each 2-ft interval from the retrieved soil core. Multiple
samples were collected in cases where both clays and
sand were recovered in a spoon. PID readings exceeded
1,000 ppm (or more) at both the PA-21 and PA-22

(a) Shaded cells represent the Lower Clay Unit between the surficial
and confined aquifers.
Soil borings SB-50, SB-51, and SB-52 are the borings
done for wells PA-20, PA-21, and PA-22 (see Figure 4-8
in Section 4.3.1). Soil boring SB-50, in the parking lot, did
not show any concentrations approaching the DNAPL
threshold of 300 mg/kg at any depth. Soil boring SB-51,
in the ISCO plot, indicated the presence of DNAPL in the
Lower Sand Unit and Lower Clay Unit, but relatively low
levels of TCE in the confined aquifer. Soil boring SB-52,
in the resistive heating plot, showed the presence of
DNAPL in the Lower Clay Unit, the semi-confining unit
from the aquifer below; TCE levels were as high as
40,498 mg/kg in the semi-confined aquifer (56-58 ft bgs)
at this location. Previously, no monitoring was done in
the semi-confining layer or in the semi-confined aquifer
before the demonstration because of NASA's concern
about breaching the relatively thin aquitard. Subse-
quently, these three wells were drilled because nonintru-
sive (seismic) monitoring indicated the possibility of
DNAPL being present in the semi-confined aquifer (Res-
olution Resources, 2000). Because there is no informa-
tion regarding the state of the confined aquifer before the
demonstration, it is unclear whether the DNAPL had
migrated to the semi-confined aquifer before or during
the demonstration. Heating could have lowered the sur-
face tension of DNAPL, making it easier to penetrate the
Lower Clay Unit. However, given the strong electrical
heating achieved in the Lower Sand Unit (of the surficial
aquifer) that would tend to volatilize TCE and move it
upward, the greater probability is that the DNAPL pene-
trated the Lower Clay Unit and entered the semi-
confined aquifer before the demonstration. Although the
Lower Clay Unit is approximately 3 ft thick in other parts
of Launch Complex 34, it appears to contain sand lenses
that reduce the effective thickness of the aquitard to

approximately 1.5 ft near PA-22, under the resistive
heating plot. Therefore, the barrier to gradual downward
migration overtime is geologically weaker in this region.
Table 5-13 summarizes the results of the CVOC analysis
of the groundwater from the semi-confined aquifer.
CVOC measurements were taken on seven occasions
over a one-year period to evaluate natural fluctuation.
Groundwater samples from the semi-confined aquifer
wells reinforce the soil sampling results. High levels of
TCE approaching solubility (free-phase DNAPL) were
observed in PA-22 where high soil concentrations were
also observed (Yoon et al., 2002). In wells PA-20 and
PA-21, relatively lower CVOC concentrations were mea-
sured, suggesting that the semi-confining clay layer is
more competent in these areas and free-phase contam-
ination has not migrated into the semi-confined aquifer in
this area. Elevated levels of c/s-1,2-DCE (all three wells)
and vinyl chloride (PA-21) also were found in the semi-
confined aquifer wells. Overall, CVOC concentrations
appear to be relatively stable over time in all three wells,
namely, PA-20, PA-21, and PA-22 (see Figure 5-26).
Since the SI/E demonstration started in July 2001, there
has been no noticeable increase in TCE, c/s-1,2-DCE, or
vinyl chloride levels in the semi-confined aquifer wells.
Therefore, there is no indication from the semi-confined
aquifer wells that any downward DNAPL migration
occurred through the Lower Clay Unit during the dem-
onstration, although the time frame for these measure-
ments is relatively short. The constant extraction of
groundwater at 22 gpm in the surficial aquifer makes it
likely that an upward gradient existed across the Lower
Clay Unit during the steam injection. In addition, the co-
injection of air along with the steam may have mitigated
any tendency of the DNAPL to migrate downward.
Table 5-14 shows the field parameter measurements in
the confined aquifer wells. Based on the relatively low
DO and ORP levels, the semi-confined aquifer appears
to be anaerobic. The groundwater has a neutral-to-
slightly-alkaline pH. The temperature was in the range of
26 to 28ฐC in PA-20 and PA-21, but in PA-22, which is
below the resistive heating plot, the temperature during
both events was elevated (44 to 49ฐC). The higher tem-
perature in this well may be due to heat conduction from
the resistive heating application in the surficial aquifer,
although migration of heated water from the surficial aqui-
fer through the thin Lower Clay Unit cannot be ruled out.
Table 5-15 shows the inorganic measurements in the
semi-confined aquifer wells. The geochemical composi-
tion of the groundwater appears to be relatively constant

throughout the semi-confined aquifer, and is similar to
that of the surficial aquifer.
Table 5-16 shows slug test results in the semi-confined
aquifer wells. Slug tests were performed in July 2001 on
the wells PA-20, PA-21, and PA-22. The recovery rates
of the water levels were analyzed with the Bouwer
(1989), Bouwer and Rice (1976), and Hvorslev (1951)
methods for slug tests. The Bouwer and Rice methods
may be used in confined aquifers where the top of the
screen is well below the bottom of the confining layer,
but are more suitable for unconfined aquifers. The
Hvorslev method is more applicable in confined aquifers,
but may fail to account for the effects of a sand pack.
Overall, the hydraulic conductivity (K) estimates range
from 0.4 to 29.9 ft/day. The Hvorslev method results are
about two to four times higher than estimates using the
Bouwer and Rice method. The replicate tests are similar,
except for PA-20, where the Hvorslev method differed. It
appears that the aquifer conductivity near well PA-20 is
greater than near PA-21 and PA-22. The conductivity of
wells PA-21 and PA-22 is lower and reflects the silty-
clayey sands that were observed during drilling. The
conductivities in the semi-confined aquifer are similar to

eastward or northeastward gradient, similar to the re-
gional gradient observed in the surficial aquifer. The gra-
dient and magnitude are summarized in Table 5-17.
Figure 5-28 displays vertical gradients from paired wells
between nearby surficial aquifer wells and the newly in-
stalled wells (PA-20 to PA-22). A positive vertical gradient
suggests upward flow from the deep aquifer to the sur-
ficial aquifer, which would inhibit downward migration of
contamination. A negative gradient would promote down-
ward migration. As shown in Figure 5-28, it appears that
the vertical gradient fluctuates, beginning as an upward
gradient when the wells were installed, changing to a
downward gradient in Fall 2001, and finally recovering to
an upward gradient.

semi-confining layer (Lower Clay Unit) or in the
semi-confined aquifer before the demonstration
because of NASA's concern about breaching the
relatively thin aquitard. Subsequently, these three
wells were drilled because nonintrusive (seismic)
monitoring indicated the possibility of DNAPL being
present in the semi-confined aquifer. There is no
information regarding the state of the semi-confined
aquifer before the demonstration, so it is unclear
whether the DNAPL had migrated to the confined
aquifer before or during the demonstration. How-
ever, given the strong electrical heating achieved in
the Lower Sand Unit (in the surficial aquifer) which
would tend to volatilize TCE upward, the greater
probability is that the DNAPL penetrated the Lower
Clay Unit before the demonstration. Whereas the
Lower Clay Unit is 3 ft thick in other parts of Launch
Complex 34, near PA-22 it appears to contain sand
lenses that reduce the effective thickness of the
aquitard to approximately 1.5 ft. Therefore, the
barrier to downward migration is geologically
weaker in this region.
Hydraulic measurements in the semi-confined
aquifer indicate an eastward gradient similar to the
overlying surficial aquifer. Vertical gradients fluctu-
ate between the semi-confined aquifer and the
surficial aquifer.
As the semi-confined aquifer extends down to approxi-
mately 120 ft bgs, additional investigation of the deeper
geologic strata would be required to obtain an under-
standing of the CVOC distribution in the semi-confined
aquifer.
5.3.4 Potential TCE Losses during
Hot Soil Core Sampling
Even after waiting for two months following the end of
the SI/E application to the subsurface, the demonstration
plot had cooled down to 90ฐC or less (from a maximum
of 120ฐC during heating). Therefore, post-demonstration
soil coring had to be conducted while the plot was still
hot. To minimize VOC losses due to volatilization, the
following primary steps were taken (See Appendix
A.1.1):
Soil coring was started only after steam generation
had subsided and the plot had cooled to 90ฐC or
less in all parts.
As the core barrel was retrieved from the ground,
each 2-inch-diameter, 4-ft-long acetate sleeve in
the core barrel was capped on both ends and
dipped in an ice bath until the core soil was cooled
to ambient temperature. The soil core was kept in
the ice bath long enough for cooling to occur
without breaking the seals at the capped ends.
In order to determine volatilization losses due to the hot
soil care, surrogate of 1,1,1-TCA was spiked for a few
soil samples as described in Appendix G. Overall, the
results show that between 84 and 113% of the surrogate
spike was recovered from the soil cores, as confirmed by
the high percent recovery of an injected surrogate com-
pound (Gaberell et al., 2002). The results also indicate
that the timing of the surrogate spike (i.e., pre- or post-
cooling) appeared to have only a slight effect on the
amount of surrogate recovered (see Table G-1 in Appen-
dix G). Slightly less surrogate was recovered from the
soil cores spiked prior to cooling, which implies that any
losses of 1,1,1-TCA in the soil samples spiked prior to
cooling are minimal and acceptable, within the limitations
of the field sampling protocol.
5.3.5 Summary of Fate of
TCE/DNAPL Removed
The TCE/DNAPL removed from the plot could have
taken one or more of the following pathways:
TCE recovery in the vapor recovery system. The
vendor reported that between 5,200 and 9,700 kg
(7,400 + 2,200 kg) of TCE was measured in the
recovered vapor and groundwater. The estimated
pre-demonstration TCE mass in the SI/E plot before
the demonstration was between 11,150 and
14,150 kg of TCE. However, the source of the TCE
recovered aboveground by the vendor is unclear. It
is possible that some dissolved TCE was drawn into
the extracted water from the surrounding aquifer,
parts of which are in untreated DNAPL source areas.
The maximum amount of TCE that is possibly
extracted from outside the cell is approximately
1,000 Ib. This is all the TCE in the wastewater
stream and therefore includes condensate from the
vapor stream as well as the groundwater and
condensed steam from within the plot. The TCE
should reasonably be reduced by approximately
50%, resulting in a figure of about 500 Ib as the likely
amount of TCE extracted in groundwater from
outside the plot.
TCE degradation by biotic or abiotic means. It is
possible that some of the TCE was degraded to
other products due to the SI/E process. There is
some evidence of heightened microbial activity in
the SI/E plot at the elevated temperatures. Also,
HPO of the TCE at elevated temperatures is one of
the claims of the SI/E technology vendor. There
was no noticeable buildup of expected degradation
products (such as chloride, alkalinity, or
Battelle
79
September 2003
-------
c/s-1,2-DCE), possibly due to the masking effect of
the 11 pore volumes of water drawn into the plot
from the surrounding aquifer.
DNAPL migration to surrounding regions. The
possibility of DNAPL migration from the SI/E plot to
surrounding regions is minimal. The hydraulic
containment maintained by the vendor was rela-
tively strong (an average of 22 gpm of water was
extracted by the vendor along the boundaries of the
plot). Therefore, it is unlikely that any DNAPL
migrated to the surrounding aquifer, despite the
expected reduction in surface tension of the DNAPL
due to heating. No elevated TCE concentrations
were found in the vadose zone soil samples
collected during post-demonstration soil coring. No
elevated TCE levels or elevated temperatures were
apparent in the confined aquifer wells below the
SI/E plot, once the demonstration began. Also, the
continuous pumping (22 gpm) in the surficial aquifer
might have exerted an upward gradient across the
Lower Clay Unit. TCE levels were slightly elevated
(above background levels) in the surface emission
tests conducted on the ground around the plenum,
but were not particularly high. Most of the vapor-
ized TCE appears to have been recovered in the
vapor recovery system.
Potential TCE losses during post-demonstration
sampling of hot soil cores. The potential for TCE
loss through this pathway is minimal. The hot soil
cores were cooled to ambient temperature in the
sleeves they were brought to the ground surface in.
Recoveries of 84 to 113% of a surrogate compound
spiked into the hot and cold soil cores were
achieved during tests conducted to verify the field
sampling and extraction procedures.
Therefore, despite some uncertainties due to the large
influx of groundwater into the SI/E plot, it is likely that
much of the TCE removed from the plot was recovered
aboveground in the vapor recovery system. It is unclear
how much of the TCE in the plot was degraded in situ,
due to the SI/E application. The TCE recovered above
ground was ultimately recovered on the GAG or destroyed
in the thermal oxidizer.

tions at Launch Complex 34. Section 7 contains the

6. Quality Assurance
A QAPP (Battelle, 2001 c) was prepared before the dem-
onstration that outlined the performance assessment
methodology and the QA measures to be taken during
the demonstration. The results of the field and laboratory
QA activities for the critical soil and groundwater CVOC
(primary) measurements and groundwater field param-
eter (secondary) measurements are described in this
section. The results of the QA associated with other
groundwater quality (secondary) measurements are
described in Appendix G. The QA efforts were focused
on the critical TCE measurement in soil and ground-
water, for which, in some cases, special sampling and
analytical methods were used. For other measurements
(chloride, calcium, etc.), standard sampling and analyti-
cal methods were used to ensure data quality.
6.1 QA Measures
This section describes the data quality in terms of repre-
sentativeness and completeness of the sampling and
analysis conducted for technology performance assess-
ment. Chain-of-custody procedures also are described.
6.1.1 Representativeness
Representativeness is a measure that evaluates how
closely the sampling and analysis represents the true
value of the measured parameters in the target matrices.
The critical parameter in this demonstration is TCE con-
centration in soil. The following steps were taken to
achieve representativeness of the soil samples:
The statistical design for determining the number
and distribution of soil samples in the 75-ft x 50-ft
SI/E plot was based on the horizontal and vertical
variability observed during a preliminary characteri-
zation event (see Section 4.1). Twelve locations
(one in each cell of a 4 x 3 grid in the plot) were
cored before and after the demonstration. Contin-
uous cores were collected from these 12 locations
and sampled in 2-ft sections from the ground sur-
face to the lower clay unit at each coring location.
At the 80% confidence level, the pre- and post-
demonstration TCE mass estimates in the plot (see
Section 5.1) did not overlap, and were sufficiently
separated to enable a good judgment of the mass
removal achieved by the steam injection
technology.
Sampling and analysis of duplicate post-
demonstration soil cores were conducted to
determine TCE concentration variability within
each grid cell. Two complete cores (SB-239 and
SB-339) were collected within about 2 ft of each
other in the post-demonstration SI/E plot, with
soil sampling at every 2-ft interval (see
Figure 5-1 for the TCE analysis of these cores).
The resulting TCE concentrations showed a
relatively good match between the duplicate
cores. These results indicated that dividing the
plot into 12 grid cells enabled a sampling design
that was able to address the horizontal variability
in TCE distribution.
Continuous sampling of the soil column at each
coring location enabled the sampling design to
address the vertical variability in the TCE distri-
bution. By sampling soil along the entire 2-ft
section of core for extraction and analysis,
essentially every vertical depth was sampled.
Appropriate modifications were made to the stand-
ard methods for sampling and analysis of soil. To
increase the representativeness of the soil sam-
pling, the sampling and extraction procedures in
U.S. EPA Method 5035 were modified so that a
representative vertical section of each 2-ft core
could be sampled and extracted, instead of the 5-g
aliquots specified in the standard method (see Sec-
tion 4.1). This was done to maximize the capture of
TCE-DNAPL in the entire soil column at each coring
location.
The following steps taken to achieve representativeness
of the groundwater samples:
Battelle
81
September 2003
-------
Two well clusters were installed in the 75-ft x 50-ft
SI/E plot and sampled. Each cluster consisted of
three wells screened in the three stratigraphic
unitsUpper Sand Unit, Middle Fine-Grained Unit,
and Lower Sand Unit.
Standard methods were used for sampling and
analysis. Disposable tubing was used to collect
samples from all monitoring wells to avoid cross-
contaminating the sample tubing after use in wells
with high TCE-DNAPL levels.
6.1.2 Completeness
All regular samples specified in the QAPP were collected
and analyzed. Additional samples were collected when
new requirements were identified as the demonstration
progressed. Additional groundwater samples were col-
lected from all SI/E plot and surrounding wells to better
evaluate chloride generation and migration, as well as
the presence of potassium ion and potassium perman-
ganate from the nearby chemical oxidation plot. One
additional soil core was collected during post-
demonstration sampling to evaluate the variability within
the same grid cell.
All the quality control (QC) samples planned in the
QAPP were collected and analyzed, including equipment
rinsate blanks during soil coring. Based on the prelimi-
nary speed of the soil coring, one rinsate blank per day
was thought to be sufficient to obtain a ratio of 1 blank
per 20 samples (5%). Rinsate blanks were collected
more frequently near the end of the pre-demonstration
sampling event, at a rate of 2 per day, as the number of
soil samples collected increased. During post-
demonstration sampling, one rinsate blank was collected
per boring location. None of the blanks contained any
elevated levels of CVOCs. Detailed data on the rinsate
blanks may be found in Appendix G.
6.1.3 Chain of Custody
Chain-of-custody forms were used to track each batch of
samples collected in the field and delivered to the off-site
analytical laboratory. Copies of the chain-of-custody
records can be found in Appendix G. Chain-of-custody
seals were affixed to each shipment of samples to
ensure that only laboratory personnel accessed the sam-
ples while in transit. Upon arrival at the laboratory, the
laboratory verified that the samples were received in
good condition, and the temperature blank sample sent
with each shipment was measured to ensure that the
required temperature was maintained during transit.
Each sample received was then checked against the
chain-of-custody form, and any discrepancies were
brought to the attention of field personnel.
6.2 Field QC Measures
The field QC checks included calibration of field instru-
ments, field blanks (5% of regular samples), field dupli-
cates (5% of regular samples), and trip blanks; the
results of these checks are discussed in this section.
Table 6-1 summarizes the instruments used for field
groundwater measurements (pH, ORP, DO, tempera-
ture, water levels, and conductivity) and the associated
calibration criteria. Instruments were calibrated at the
beginning and end of the sampling period on each day.
The field instruments were always within the acceptance
criteria during the demonstration. The DO membrane
was the most sensitive, especially to extremely high
(near saturation) levels of chlorinated solvent or perman-
ganate in the groundwater, and this membrane had to be
changed more frequently as a result. Because of inter-
ference with DO and other measurements, field param-
eter measurements in deeply purple (high permanganate
level) samples were avoided, as noted in Appendix D.
6.2.1 Field QCfor Soil Sampling
During post-demonstration sampling, one primary
change and one addition were made to the sampling
protocol outlined in the QAPP (Battelle, 2001 c). The
primary change to the QAPP involved the point at which
methanol was added to the soil sample. The QAPP
specified that the soil sample would be collected first into
an empty, preweighed bottle, and then approximately
250 ml of methanol would be added to the soil in the

bottle. Due to concerns about the amount of CVOC vola-
tilization that might be occurring during the time between
collecting the sample and adding the methanol, the
decision was made to add the appropriate amount
(250 ml) of methanol to the bottle first, and then place
the soil sample directly into the methanol-filled bottle.
Soil extractions then were conducted in the field using
modified U.S. EPA Method 5035 as described in the
QAPP, and the extract was sent to the off-site analytical
laboratory for CVOC analysis.
The addition to the QAPP sampling and analysis proto-
col involved the use of a surrogate compound to test the
recovery efficiency of the methanol extraction procedure
used on-site. The surrogate compound, 1,1,1-TCA, was
chosen by the analytical lab as having properties and
characteristics very similar to TCE, but would not inter-
fere with the analytical analysis of TCE. The surrogate
was spiked directly into one soil sample from every
boring location collected during post-demonstration sam-
pling. The injection volume of 1,1,1-TCA was approxi-
mately 10 uL. The spiked soil samples were handled in
the same manner as the remaining soil samples during
the extraction procedure. Of the 13 soil samples spiked
with 1,1,1-TCA, 12 were within the acceptable range of
precision for the post-demonstration soil sampling,
calculated as the relative percent difference (RPD),
where RPD is less than 30%. The results indicate that
the methanol extraction procedure used in the field was
suitable for recovering CVOCs. The detailed results of
the 1,1,1-TCA spike recoveries are presented in Appen-
dix G (Table G-1).
Duplicate soil samples were collected in the field and
analyzed for TCE to evaluate sampling precision. Dupli-
cate soil samples were collected by splitting each 2-ft
soil core vertically in half and subsequently collecting
approximately 250 g of soil into two separate containers,
marked as SB#-Depth# and SB#-Depth#-DUP. Appen-
dix G (Tables G-3 and G-4) shows the result of the field
soil duplicate analysis and the precision, calculated as
the RPD for the duplicate soil cores, which were col-
lected before and after the demonstration. The precision
of the field duplicate samples was generally within the
acceptable range (+30%) for the demonstration, indicat-
ing that the sampling procedure was representative of
the soil column at the coring location.
The RPD for two of the thirteen duplicate soil samples
collected during the pre-demonstration sampling was
greater than 30%, but less than 60% (see Table G-3).
These exceedances of the RPD target are attributed to
the low TCE concentrations found in those samples,
which significantly affected the RPD calculations. One
sample-duplicate pair significantly exceeded the target
level of 30% (RPD=115%) due to the presence of free-
phase TCE found in part of the sample. This result indi-
cated the heterogeneous nature of the contaminant dis-
tribution in the soil. However, this large a deviation
occurred only for 2 of the 13 sets of duplicate soil sam-
ples collected, and may be an extreme example of the
nugget effect associate with sampling free-phase or par-
ticulate contaminants.
The RPD for 4 of the 15 duplicate soil samples collected
during the post-demonstration sampling was greater
than 30% but less than 40% (see Table G-4). These four
samples had RPD values slightly above the targeted
range because of the low TCE concentrations found in
the samples, which significantly affected the RPD calcu-
lation. In general though, the variability in the two vertical
halves that each soil core section was split into before
the extraction was in a reasonable range, given the typ-
ically heterogeneous nature of the DNAPL distribution.
Field blanks for the soil sampling consisted of rinsate
blank samples and methanol blank samples. The rinsate
blank samples were collected once per drilling day
(approximately 20 soil samples) to evaluate the decon-
tamination procedure for soil sampling equipment.
Decontamination between samples consisted of a three-
step process where the sampling equipment was emp-
tied, washed with soapy water, rinsed in distilled water to
remove soap and debris, and then rinsed a second time
with distilled water. The rinsate blank samples were
collected by pouring distilled water over the sampling
equipment after the equipment had been processed
through the routine decontamination procedure. As seen
in Appendix G (Table G-5), TCE levels in the rinsate
blanks were always below detection (<1.0 u,g/L), indicat-
ing that the decontamination procedure was preventing
CVOC cross-contamination between samples.
Methanol method blank samples (5%) were collected in
the field to evaluate the soil extraction process. The
results are listed in Appendix G (Table G-6). All of the
methanol blank samples were below the targeted detec-
tion limit of 0.250 mg/kg of TCE in dry soil.
6.2.2 Field QC Checks for Groundwater
Sampling
QC checks for groundwater sampling included field
duplicates (5%), field blanks (5%), and trip blanks. Field
duplicate samples were collected once for every 20 wells
sampled. Appendix G (Tables G-7 and G-8) contains the
analysis of the field duplicate groundwater samples that
were collected before, during, and after the demonstra-
tion. The RPD (precision) calculated for these samples
always met the QA/QC target criteria of ฑ30%.
New disposable Teflonฎ tubing was used to collect
groundwater from each well during each groundwater

-------
sampling event. The tubing was disposed of after sam-
pling each well. Therefore decontamination procedures
were not used on the groundwater sampling tubing. Rin-
sate blanks for the sample tubing consisted of passing
fresh deionized water through the sample tubing into
40-mL VOA vials. All rinsate sample results for pre- and
post-demonstration sampling events were below the non-
detect level (<1.0 u,g/L). The field rinsate analytical results
are contained in Appendix G (Tables G-9 and G-10).
TCE levels in trip blank samples were always less than
1 u,g/L (Appendix G, Table G-11), indicating that the
integrity of the samples was maintained during shipment.
6.3 Laboratory QC Checks
The off-site analytical laboratory performed QA/QC
checks consisting of 5% matrix spikes (MS) or laboratory
control spikes (LCS), as well as the same number of
matrix spike duplicates (MSD) or laboratory control spike
duplicates (LCSD). The analytical laboratories generally
conducted MS and MSD whenever the groundwater
samples were clear, in order to determine accuracy. MS
and MSD or LCS and LCSD were used to calculate
analytical accuracy (percent recovery) and precision
(RPD between MS and MSD or LCS and LCSD).
6.3.1 Analytical QC Checks for Soil
Analytical accuracy for the soil samples (methanol ex-
tracts) analyzed was within the acceptance limits (70-
130%) for the pre- and post-demonstration period (Ap-
pendix G, Tables G-12, G-13, G-14, and G-15). Matrix
spike recoveries (MS/MSD) were all less than the QA/
QC target RPD of 30% for both pre- and post-
demonstration sampling events. However, 7 of the 42
MS/MSD spike recoveries were outside the target recov-
ery range of 70-130% for the pre- and post-
demonstration sampling events (Appendix G, Tables G-
12 and G-13). Laboratory control spike recoveries (LCS/
LCSD) were all less than the QA/QC target RPD of 25%
for both pre- and post-demonstration sampling events.
There were no exceedances of the target recovery range
of 70-130% for LCS/LCSD samples (Appendix G, Tables
G-14 and G-15).
The off-site analytical laboratory (DHL Analytical) con-
ducted surrogate spikes in 5% of the total number of
methanol extracts prepared from the soil samples for
CVOC analysis. Table 6-2 lists the surrogate and labora-
tory control sample compounds used by the off-site
laboratory to perform the QA/QC checks. Surrogate and
laboratory control sample recoveries were always within
the specified acceptance limits. Method blank samples
were run at a frequency of at least one for every 20
samples analyzed in the pre- and post-demonstration

6.3.2 Laboratory QC for Groundwater
MS and MSD results for groundwater sampling events
during and after the demonstration are listed in Appen-
dix G (Table G-18). The MS and MSD recoveries (70 to
130%) and their precision (RPD<25%) were generally
within acceptance criteria. The recoveries for two MS/
MSD pairs of samples exceeded 130% recovery. Recov-
eries and RPDs for LCS and LCSD samples (Appen-
dix G, Tables G-19 and G-20) were always within the
acceptance range.
Method blanks (Appendix G, Tables G-21 and G-22) for
the groundwater samples were always below the tar-
geted 3 u,g/L detection limit.
6.3.3 Analytical Detection Limits
Detection limits for TCE in soil (1 mg/kg) and ground-
water (3 u,g/L) generally were met. The only exceptions
were samples that had to be diluted for analysis, either
because one of the CVOC compounds (e.g., TCE) was
at a relatively high concentration compared to another
VOC compound (e.g., c;s-1,2-DCE), or because exces-
sively high levels of organics in the sample necessitated
dilution to protect the analytical instruments. The pro-
portionately higher detection limits are reported in the
CVOC tables in Appendix C. The detection limits most
affected were those for c;s-1,2-DCE and vinyl chloride,
due to the masking effect of high levels of TCE. Addi-
tionally, the laboratories verified and reported that ana-
lytical instrumentation calibrations were within accept-
able ranges on the days of the analyses.
6.4 QA/QC Summary
Given the challenges posed by the typically hetero-
geneous TCE distribution in a DNAPL source zone, the
collected data were a relatively good representation of
the TCE distribution in the Launch Complex 34 aquifer

before, during, and after the demonstration, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
A sufficient number of locations (12) were sampled
within the plot to adequately capture the horizontal
variability in the TCE distribution. The continuous
sampling of the soil at each coring location ensured
that the vertical variability of the TCE distribution
was captured. Sampling and analytical procedures
were appropriately modified to address the
expected variability. At the 80% confidence level,
the soil sampling results provided pre- and post-
demonstration confidence intervals (range of TCE
mass estimates) that did not overlap, and were
sufficiently separated to enable a good judgment of
the TCE and DNAPL mass removal achieved by the
steam injection technology.
Standard sampling and analysis methods were
used for all other measurements to ensure that data
were comparable between sampling events.
Accuracy and precision of the soil and groundwater
measurements were generally in the acceptable
range for the field sampling and laboratory analysis.
In some cases, extremely low (near detection) or
extremely high levels of TCE in the sample caused
greater deviation in the precision (repeatability) of
the data.
In some cases, the masking effect of high TCE
levels on other CVOCs and the need for sample
dilution caused detection limits for TCE, to rise to
5 u,g/L (instead of 3 u,g/L). However, post-
demonstration levels of dissolved TCE in many of
the monitoring wells in the SI/E plot were consider-
ably higher than the 3-u.g/L detection and regulatory
target.
Field blanks associated with the soil samples and
groundwater samples had undetected levels of
TCE.

7. Economic Analysis
An economic analysis for an innovative technology gen-
erally is based on a comparison of the cost of the inno-
vative technology with a conventional alternative. In this
section, the economic analysis involves a comparison of
the steam injection technology cost with the cost of a
conventional pump-and-treat system.
The cost estimation for the steam injection technology
application involves the following three major compo-
nents:
Application cost of steam injection at the demon-
stration site. Costs of the technology application at
Launch Complex 34 were tracked by the steam
injection vendor and by MSE, the DOE contractor
who subcontracted the vendor.
Site preparation and waste disposal costs incurred
by the owner. NASA and MSE tracked the costs
incurred by the site owner.
Site characterization and performance assessment
costs. Battelle and TetraTech EM, Inc., estimated
these costs based on the site characterization and
performance assessment that was generally based
on U.S. EPA's SITE Program guidelines.
7.1 Steam Injection Application
Costs
The costs of the steam injection technology were tracked
and reported by both the vendor and MSE, the DOE
contractor who subcontracted the vendor. Table 7-1
summarizes the major cost components for the applica-
tion. The total cost of the steam injection demonstration
was approximately $1,201,000. This total includes the
design, permitting support, implementation, process
monitoring, waste disposal, and reporting costs incurred
by the vendor. The total does not include the costs for
site characterization, which was conducted by other
organizations (Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study
[RI/FS] by NASA, preliminary characterization by WSRC,

and diesel), waste disposal, electricity, and water,
incurred by NASA. Based on the average total TCE
reduction efficiency at 85% by kriging analysis results,
the treated TCE was estimated to be 19,556 Ib including
16,383 Ib from the liquid/vapor extraction system and
3,173 Ib by in situ TCE reduction. Thus, the unit cost is
estimated to be at $61 per Ib treated TCE. The total cost
for treatment is approximately $192 per yd3 treated TCE
(MSE, 2002).
7.2 Site Preparation and Waste
Disposal Costs
Soil cuttings from the hollow-stem auger used for instal-
ling the steam injection and vapor extraction wells were
disposed of offsite by the vendor. Soil (i.e., waste) dis-
posal costs are shown in Table 7-1. The wastes gener-
ated during the steam injection operation were disposed
of off site by NASA at a cost of $55,100. Wastes shipped
off site included the spent GAG, and steam boiler
blowdown.

7.3 Site Characterization and
Performance Assessment Costs
This section describes two categories of costs:
Site characterization costs (see Table 7-2). These
are the costs that a site would incur in an effort to
bridge the gap between the general site information
in an RI/FS or RFI report and the more detailed
information required for DNAPL source delineation
and remediation technology design. This cost
component is perhaps the most reflective of the
type of costs incurred when a site of the size and
geology of Launch Complex 34 undergoes site
characterization in preparation for remediation.
Assuming that groundwater monitoring and plume
delineation at a site indicates the presence of
DNAPL, these site characterization costs are
incurred in an effort to define the boundaries of the
DNAPL source zone, obtain an order-of-magnitude
estimate of the DNAPL mass present, and define
the local hydrogeology and geochemistry of the
DNAPL source zone.
Performance assessment costs (see Table 7-3).
These are primarily demonstration-related costs.
Most of these costs were incurred in an effort to
further delineate the portion of the DNAPL source
contained in the steam injection plot and determine
the TCE/DNAPL mass removal achieved by the
steam technology. Only a fraction of these costs
would be incurred during full-scale deployment of
this technology; depending on the site-specific
regulatory requirements, only the costs related to
determining compliance with cleanup criteria would
be incurred in a full-scale deployment.
Table 7-2 summarizes the costs incurred by Battelle for
the February 1999 site characterization. This event was
a suitable combination of soil coring and groundwater
sampling, organic and inorganic analysis, and hydraulic
testing (water levels and slug tests) that may be ex-
pected to bridge the gap between the RI/FS or RFI data
usually available at a site and the typical data needs for
DNAPL source delineation and remediation design.
Table 7-3 lists the performance assessment costs in-
curred jointly by Battelle and TetraTech EM, Inc. in eval-
uating the effectiveness of the steam injection technology.

decades or centuries. The resulting groundwater contam-
ination and plume also will persist for several decades.
The conventional approach to this type of contamination
has been the use of pump-and-treat systems that extract
Battelle

-------
and treat the groundwater above ground. This conven-
tional technology is basically a plume control technology
and would have to be implemented as long as ground-
water contamination exists. Steam injection is an innova-
tive in situ technology that seeks to replace the conven-
tional pump-and-treat approach. Therefore, the costs of
these two alternatives are compared in this section.
Because a pump-and-treat system would need to be
operated for the next several decades, the life-cycle cost
of this long-term treatment must be calculated and
compared with the cost of steam injection, a short-term
treatment. The present value (PV) of a long-term pump-
and-treat application is calculated as described in Appen-
dix H. The PV analysis is conducted over a 30-year
period, as is typical for long-term remediation programs
at Superfund sites. Site characterization and perform-
ance (compliance) assessment costs are assumed to be
the same for both alternatives and are not included in
this analysis.
For the purpose of comparison, it is assumed that a
pump-and-treat system would have to treat the plume
emanating from a DNAPL source the size of the steam
injection plot. Recent research (Pankow and Cherry,
1996) indicates that the most efficient pump-and-treat
system for source containment would capture all the
groundwater flowing through the DNAPL source region.
For a 75-ft-long x 50-ft-wide x 40-ft-deep DNAPL source
region at Launch Complex 34, a single extraction well
pumping at 2 gpm is assumed to be sufficient to contain
the source in an aquifer where the hydraulic gradient
(and therefore, the groundwater flow velocity) is ex-
tremely low. This type of minimal containment pumping
ensures that the source is contained without having to
extract and treat groundwater from cleaner surrounding
regions, as would be the case in more aggressive con-
ventional pump-and-treat systems. The extracted ground-
water is treated with an air stripper, polishing carbon
(liquid phase), and a catalytic oxidation unit (for air
effluent).
As shown in Appendix H, the total capital investment for
an equivalent pump-and-treat system would be approxi-
mately $167,000, and would be followed by an annual
operation and maintenance (O&M) cost of $57,000
(including quarterly monitoring). Periodic maintenance
requirements (replacements of pumps, etc.) would raise
the O&M cost every five years to $70,000 and every
10 years to $99,000. A discount rate (real rate of return)
of 2.9%, based on the current recommendation for gov-
ernment projects, was used to calculate the PV. The PV
of the pump-and-treat costs over 30 years is estimated
to be $1,406,000.
An equivalent treatment cost for full-scale deployment of
the steam injection technology would be approximately
$1,201,000. This estimate is based on a total steam
injection treatment including waste disposal cost
($55,100) during the demonstration (from Table 7-1 and
Section 7-2).
Therefore, the steam injection technology is comparable
in cost to an equivalent pump-and-treat system. As seen
in Table H-3 in Appendix H, an investment in steam
injection has a slightly lower PV than the long-term
investment in a pump-and-treat system, although not by
much. The capital invested in steam injection would be
recovered in the 24th year, when the PV of the pump-
and-treat system exceeds the cost of steam injection.
More importantly, there may be other tangible and intan-
gible economic benefits to using a source remediation
technology that are not factored into the analysis. For
example, the economic analysis in Appendix H assumes
that the pump-and-treat system is operational all the
time over the next 30 or more years, with most of the
annual expense associated with operation and routine
(scheduled) maintenance. Experience with pump-and-
treat systems at several sites has shown that downtime
associated with pump-and-treat systems is fairly high (as
much as 50% downtime reported from some sites). This
may negatively impact both maintenance requirements
(tangible cost) and the integrity of plume containment
(intangible cost) with the pump-and-treat alternative. In
addition, with steam injection or other source removal
technology, there are no permanent aboveground struc-
tures, as there are with a long-term pump-and-treat
system application, so the site can be put to many more
uses.
Another factor to consider is that although the economic
analysis for long-term remediation programs typically is
conducted for a 30-year period, the DNAPL source and
therefore the pump-and-treat requirement may persist
for many more years or decades. This would lead to
concomitantly higher remediation costs for the pump-
and-treat or plume containment option (without source
removal). As seen in Appendix H, the PV of a pump-and-
treat system operated for 100 years would be
$2,188,000.

8. Technology Applications Analysis
This section evaluates the general applicability of the
SI/E technology to sites with contaminated groundwater
and soil. The analysis is based on the results and les-
sons learned from the IDC demonstration, as well as
general information available about the technology and
its application at other sites.
8.1 Objectives
This section evaluates the SI/E technology against the
nine evaluation criteria used for detailed analysis of
remedial alternatives in feasibility studies under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensa-
tion, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Much of the discussion
in this section applies to DNAPL source removal in
general, and SI/E in particular.
8.1.1 Overall Protection of Human Health
and the Environment
The SI/E technology is protective of human health and
environment in both the short and long term. At Launch
Complex 34, for example, the SI/E technique removed
more than 8,000 kg of DNAPL contamination from the
plot, with the possibility of some TCE mass destruction.
Because DNAPL acts as a secondary source that can
contaminate an aquifer for decades or centuries, DNAPL
source removal or mitigation considerably reduces the
duration over which the source is active. Even if DNAPL
mass removal is not 100%, the resulting long-term
weakening of the plume and the reduced duration over
which the DNAPL source contributes to the plume
reduces the threat to potential receptors.
8.1.2 Compliance with ARARs
This section describes the technology performance ver-
sus applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements
(ARARs). Compliance with chemical-, location-, and
action-specific ARARs should be determined on a site-
specific basis.
Compliance with chemical-specific ARARs depends on
the efficiency of the SI/E process at the site and the
cleanup goals agreed on by various stakeholders. In
general, reasonable short-term (DNAPL mass removal)
goals are more achievable and should lead to eventual
and earlier compliance with long-term groundwater
cleanup goals. Achieving intermediate-term ground-
water cleanup goals (e.g., federal or state maximum
contaminant levels [MCLs]), especially in the DNAPL
source zone, is more difficult because various studies
(Pankow and Cherry, 1996) have shown that almost
100% DNAPL mass removal may be required before a
significant change in groundwater concentrations is
observed. However, removal of DNAPL, even if most of
the removal takes place from the more accessible pores,
probably would result in a weakened plume that may
lead to significant risk reduction in the downgradient
aquifer. In the long term, source treatment should lead
to earlier compliance with groundwater cleanup goals at
the compliance boundary and earlier dismantling of any
interim remedies (e.g., pump-and-treat).
The specific federal environmental regulations that are
potentially impacted by remediation of a DNAPL source
with SI/E are described below.
8.1.2.1 Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
CERCLA, as amended by the Superfund Amendments
and Reauthorization Act (SARA), provides for federal
authority to respond to releases or potential releases of
any hazardous substance into the environment, as well
as to releases of pollutants or contaminants that may
present an imminent or significant danger to public
health and welfare or the environment. Remedial alter-
natives that significantly reduce the volume, toxicity, or
mobility of hazardous materials and that provide long-
term protection are preferred. Selected remedies also
must be cost-effective and protective of human health
and the environment. The SI/E technology meets several
of these criteria relating to a preferred alternative. SI/E

reduces the volume of contaminants by removing DNAPL
from the aquifer; it is possible that the toxicity of con-
taminants is reduced depending on how much the
degradation pathways contribute to contaminant mass
removal (see Sections 5.3.1 and 5.3.2). Although aquifer
heterogeneities and technology limitations often result in
less than 100% removal of the contaminant and elevated
levels of dissolved solvent may persist in the ground-
water over the short term, in the long term, there is faster
eventual elimination of groundwater contamination. Sec-
tion 7.4 shows that SI/E is cost-effective compared with
the conventional alternative of long-term pump and treat.
8.1.2.2 Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act
RCRA, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, regulates management
and disposal of municipal and industrial solid wastes.
Both the U.S. EPA and RCRA-authorized states (listed
in 40 CFR Part 272) implement and enforce RCRA and
state regulations. Generally, RCRA does not apply to
in situ groundwater treatment because the contaminated
groundwater may not be considered hazardous waste
while it is still in the aquifer. The contaminated ground-
water becomes regulated if it is extracted from the
ground, as would happen with the conventional alterna-
tive of pump and treat. Some aboveground wastes are
generated that may require off-site landfill disposal. Dur-
ing the Launch Complex 34 demonstration, soil cuttings
(from drilling and installation of SI/E wells) were kept in
drums and disposed of by NASA. The spent GAG was
shipped back to the supplier for regeneration.
8.1.2.3 Clean Water Act
The Clean Water Act (CWA) is designed to restore and
maintain the chemical, physical, and biological quality of
navigable surface waters by establishing federal, state,
and local discharge standards. When steam or ground-
water extraction is conducted, and the resulting water
stream needs to be treated and discharged to a surface
water body or a publicly owned treatment works (POTW),
the CWA may apply. On-site discharges to a surface
water body must meet National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, but may not
require an NPDES permit. Off-site discharges to a
surface water body must meet NPDES limits and require
an NPDES permit. Discharge to a POTW, even if it is
through an on-site sewer, is considered an off-site
activity. At Launch Complex 34, surface water was dis-
charged through an infiltration trench. Approximately
4,013,588 gal of extracted groundwater and steam con-
densate was generated during the demonstration. This
water was run through an air stripper, liquid-phase GAG,
and permanganate-impregnated silica, before being dis-
charged to the on-site infiltration trench.
Sometimes, soil or groundwater monitoring may lead to
small amounts of purge and decontamination water
wastes that may be subject to CWA requirements.
Micropurging was one measure implemented at Launch
Complex 34 to minimize such wastes during site charac-
terization and technology performance assessment.
8.1.2.4 Safe Drinking Water Act
The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in
1986, requires U.S. EPA to establish regulations to pro-
tect human health from contaminants in drinking water.
The legislation authorizes national drinking water stand-
ards and a joint federal-state system for ensuring com-
pliance with these standards. The SDWA also regulates
underground injection of fluids and includes sole-source
aquifer and wellhead protection programs.
The National Primary Drinking Water Standards are
found at 40 CFR Parts 141 through 149. The most criti-
cal standards to meet are the health-based SDWA
primary standards (e.g., for TCE); SDWA secondary
standards (e.g., for dissolved manganese) are based on
other factors, such as aesthetics (discoloration) or odor.
The MCLs based on these standards generally apply as
cleanup standards for water that is, or potentially could
be, used for drinking water supply. In some cases, such
as when multiple contaminants are present, alternative
concentration limits (ACLs) may be used. CERCLA and
RCRA standards and guidance are used in establishing
ACLs. In addition, some states may set more stringent
standards for specific contaminants. For example, the
federally mandated MCL for vinyl chloride is 2 u,g/L,
whereas the State of Florida drinking water standard is
1 u,g/L. In such instances, the more stringent standard is
usually the cleanup goal.
Although the long-term goal of DNAPL source zone
treatment is meeting applicable drinking water standards
or other risk-based groundwater cleanup goals agreed
on between site owners and regulatory authorities, the
short-term objective of the SI/E technology is DNAPL
mass removal. Because technology, site, and economic
limitations may limit DNAPL mass removal to less than
100%, it may not always be possible to meet ground-
water cleanup targets in the source region in the short
term. Depending on other factors, such as the distance
of the compliance point (e.g., property boundary, at
which groundwater cleanup targets have to be met) from
the source (as negotiated between the site owner and
regulators), the degree of weakening of the plume due to
DNAPL source treatment, and the degree of natural
attenuation in the aquifer, it may be possible to meet
groundwater cleanup targets at the compliance point in
the short term. DNAPL mass removal will always lead to
faster attainment of groundwater cleanup goals in the
Battelle

-------
long term, as compared to the condition in which no
source removal action is taken.
8.1.2.5 Clean Air Act
The Clean Air Act (CAA) and the 1990 amendments
establish primary and secondary ambient air quality
standards for protection of public health, as well as emis-
sion limitations for certain hazardous pollutants. Permit-
ting requirements under CAA are administered by each
state as part of State Implementation Plans (SIPs) devel-
oped to bring each state in compliance with National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
Pump-and-treat systems often generate air emissions
(when an air stripper is used). Source removal technol-
ogies that use thermal energy (e.g., SI/E or resistive
heating) also may have the potential to generate air
emissions, unless adequate controls are implemented.
Surface emission tests conducted in the SI/E plot (on the
ground around the oversized plenum covering the steam
injection plot and perimeter areas) during and after the
demonstration showed TCE emissions that were notice-
ably above background levels. This indicates that,
although the strong vapor recovery system was over
designed and succeeded in significantly capturing and
mitigating vapor emissions, a small fraction of TCE may
have been discharged to the atmosphere. As the can-
ister samples collected at shoulder height above the
ground showed, these emissions were minor and were
not a safety hazard. One precaution that could be taken
in the future, if relatively high concentrations of TCE
remain in the aquifer after treatment, is to leave the
plenum and vapor recovery system on for a longer time
after steam injection has ended. Surface emission tests
showed that the TCE emissions remained above back-
ground levels while the aquifer was still hot (about 60ฐC
when the last measurement was taken).
The air effluent from the air stripper was treated with a
thermal oxidizer unit before being discharged to the
atmosphere.
8.1.2.6 Occupational Safety and Health
Administration
CERCLA remedial actions and RCRA corrective actions
must be carried out in accordance with Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements
detailed in 20 CFR Parts 1900 through 1926, especially
Part 1910.120, which provides for the health and safety
of workers at hazardous waste sites. On-site construc-
tion activities at Superfund or RCRA corrective action
sites must be performed in accordance with Part 1926 of
RCRA, which provides safety and health regulations for
construction sites. State OSHA requirements, which may
be significantly stricter than federal standards, also must
be met.
The health and safety aspects of SI/E are described in
Section 3.2.3, which describes the operation of this tech-
nology at Launch Complex 34. Level D personal protec-
tive equipment generally is sufficient during implementa-
tion. Operation of heavy equipment, handling of hot
fluids, and high voltage are the main working hazards
and are dealt with by using appropriate PPE and trained
workers. Monitoring wells should be fitted with pressure
gauges and pressure release valves to facilitate sam-
pling during and/or after the steam application. All oper-
ating and sampling personnel are required to have com-
pleted the 40-hour Hazardous Waste Operations and
Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training course
and 8-hour refresher courses. There were no injuries
during the SI/E demonstration at Launch Complex 34.
8.1.3 Long-Term Effectiveness
and Permanence
SI/E leads to removal of DNAPL mass and therefore
permanent removal of contamination from the aquifer.
Dissolved solvent concentrations may rebound in the
short-term when groundwater flow redistributes through
the treated source zone containing DNAPL remnants;
however, in the long-term, depletion of the weakened
source through dissolution will continue and lead to
eventual and earlier compliance with groundwater clean-
up goals.
8.1.4 Reduction of Toxicity, Mobility, or
Volume through Treatment
SI/E affects treatment by reducing the volume of the
contamination and possibly, reducing its toxicity as well
(depending on how much the degradation pathway con-
tributes to contaminant mass removal).
8.1.5 Short-Term Effectiveness
The short-term effectiveness of the SI/E technology de-
pends on a number of factors. If the short-term goal is to
remove as much DNAPL mass as possible, this goal is
likely to be met. If the short-term goal is to reduce dis-
solved contaminant levels in the source zone, achieve-
ment of this goal will depend on the hydrogeology and
DNAPL distribution in the treated region. TCE levels
declined in some monitoring wells in the SI/E plot, but
were well above federal MCLs or State of Florida
groundwater cleanup standards (5 ppb and 3 ppb,
respectively). Geologic heterogeneities, preferential
flowpaths taken by the steam, and localized permeability
changes that determine flow in the treated region may
lead to such variability in post-treatment groundwater
levels of contamination. As discussed in Section 8.1.2.4,
the chances of DNAPL mass removal resulting in
reduced contaminant levels at a compliance point
Battelle

-------
downgradient from the source is less likely in the short or
intermediate term. In the long term, DNAPL mass
removal will always shorten the time period required to
bring the entire affected aquifer into compliance with
applicable standards.
8.1.6 Implementability
As mentioned in Section 7.2, site preparation and ac-
cess requirements for implementing the steam injection
technology are minimal. Firm ground for equipment set-
up is required. The equipment involved is commercially
available. Setup and shakedown times are relatively high
compared to other technologies, such as chemical
oxidation. Overhead space available at open sites gen-
erally is sufficient for housing the SI/E equipment.
8.1.7 Cost
As described in Section 7.4, the cost of SI/E, as it was
implemented at Launch Complex 34, is competitive with
the life-cycle cost of pump and treat (over a 30-year
period of comparison). The cost comparison becomes
even more favorable for source remediation in general
when other tangible and intangible factors are taken into
account. For example, a DNAPL source, such as the
one at Launch Complex 34, is likely to persist much
longer than 30 years (the normal evaluation time for
long-term remedies), thus necessitating continued costs
for pump and treat into the distant future (perhaps
100 years or more). Annual O&M costs also do not take
into account the nonroutine maintenance costs associ-
ated with the large amount of downtime typically experi-
enced by site owners with pump-and-treat systems.
A rise in fuel prices (for operating the steam generation
boiler) may increase the cost of the SI/E application.
8.1.8 State Acceptance
The ITRC, a consortium of several states in the United
States, is participating in the IDC demonstration through
review of reports and attendance at key meetings. The
ITRC plays a key role in innovative technology transfer
by helping disseminate performance information and
regulatory guidance to the states.
The IDC set up a partnering team consisting of repre-
sentatives from NASA and Patrick Air Force Base (site
owners), U.S. EPA, State of Florida Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection (FDEP), and other stakeholders
early on when the demonstration was being planned. The
partnering team was and is being used as the mech-
anism to proactively obtain regulatory input in the design
and implementation of the remediation/demonstration
activities at Launch Complex 34. Because of the tech-
nical limitations and costs of conventional approaches to
DNAPL remediation, state environmental agencies have
shown growing acceptance of innovative technologies.
8.1.9 Community Acceptance
The SI/E technology's low noise levels and ability to
reduce short- and long-term risks posed by DNAPL con-
tamination are expected to promote local community
acceptance. Supply of sufficient power and control of air
emissions may be issues of concern for communities.
8.2 Operability
Unlike a pump-and-treat system that may involve contin-
uous long-term operation by trained operators for the
next 30 or 100 years, a source remediation technology is
a short-term application. The field application of SI/E in
the 75-ft x 50-ft plot at Launch Complex 34 took about 6
months to complete. The remediation generally is done
as a turnkey project by multiple vendors, who design,
build, and operate the steam injection system. Site char-
acterization, site preparation (utilities, etc.), monitoring,
and any waste disposal often are done by the site
owner. The SI/E process used at Launch Complex 34 is
patented, but is commercially available from multiple
licensed vendors.
The SI/E process is relatively complex and requires
proficient operators trained in this particular technology.
Handing of hot fluids may require additional precautions.
8.3 Applicable Wastes
SI/E has been applied to remediation of aquifers con-
taminated with chlorinated solvents, PAHs, and petro-
leum (nonchlorinated) hydrocarbons both in the vadose
and saturated zones. Source zones consisting of per-
chloroethylene (PCE) and TCE in DNAPL or dissolved
form, as well as dissolved c;s-1,2-DCE and vinyl chlo-
ride, can be addressed by SI/E.
8.4 Key Features
The following are some of the key features of SI/E that
make it attractive for DNAPL source zone treatment:
Applied in situ
Uses relatively complex, but commercially
available, equipment
Relatively fast field application time possible, when
applied properly

-------
The heat generated distributes reasonably well
in the aquifer, thus achieving good contact with
contaminants
At many sites, a one-time application has the
potential to reduce a DNAPL source to the point
where either natural attenuation is sufficient to
address a weakened plume or pump and treat
needs to be applied for a shorter duration in the
future.
8.5 Availability/Transportability
SI/E is commercially available from multiple vendors as
a service on a contract basis. All reusable system com-
ponents can be trailer-mounted for transportation from
site to site. Steam injection and extraction wells and
other subsurface components usually are left in the
ground after the application.
8.6 Materials Handling
Requirements
SI/E requires hot fluids handling capabilities. Heavy equip-
ment needs to be moved around with forklifts. Drilling
equipment is required to install subsurface electrodes.
Design and operation of the steam injection and extrac-
tion equipment requires specially trained operators.
8.7 Ranges of Suitable
Site Characteristics
The following factors should be considered when deter-
mining the suitability of a site for steam application:
Type of contaminants. Contaminants should be
amenable to mobilization, volatilization, or
degradation by heat.
Site geology. SI/E can heat sandy soils, and to
some extent silty soils. However, aquifer hetero-
geneities and preferential flowpaths can make
uniform heating more difficult, especially in regions
such as the base of the aquifer (near the aquitard).
DNAPL source zones in fractured bedrock also may
pose a challenge. Longer application times and
higher cost may be involved at sites with a high
groundwater flow velocity because of increased rate
of heat loss from the treated zone.
Soil characteristics. SI/E is more suitable for
high-permeability soils. However, many low-
permeability aquifers contain preferential flow zones
through which steam can travel. Therefore, the
application must be carefully evaluated.
Regulatory acceptance. Regulatory acceptance is
important for this application. It is essential that the
application achieve good hydraulic control (i.e., to
mitigate potential for outward or downward migra-
tion) and adequate treatment of aboveground
residuals, such as extracted water and condensate.
Site accessibility. Sites that have no aboveground
structures and fewer utilities are easier to remediate
with SI/E. Presence of buildings or a network of
utilities can make the application more difficult.
None of the factors mentioned above necessarily elimi-
nates SI/E from consideration at any site. Rather, these
are factors that may make the application less or more
economical.
8.8 Limitations
The SI/E technology has the following limitations:
Not all types of contaminants are amenable to heat
treatment. In addition, some co-contaminants, such
as certain heavy metals, if present, could be
mobilized by heating.
Aquifer heterogeneities can make the application
more difficult, necessitating more complex applica-
tion schemes, greater amounts of heat (steam),
and/or longer application times.
Some sites may require greater hydraulic control to mini-
mize the spread of contaminants. This may require the
use of appropriate extraction wells and associated
aboveground treatment to treat the extracted water and
condensate. Although the geometrical constraints of this
site (treating a small part of a larger DNAPL source) may
have pressed the vendor to inject inside the plot and
extract along the boundary, the reverse may provide
better hydraulic control at many sites. In general, the
outside-in mode, where the steam is injected along the
perimeter of the DNAPL source and the contamination is
"herded" to the center and extracted, may be the prefer-
able mode of operation.

A.I Statistical Design and Data Analysis Methods
Estimating TCE/DNAPL mass removal due to the steam injection technology application was a critical
objective of the IDC demonstration at Launch Complex 34. Analysis of TCE in soil samples collected in
the steam injection plot before and after the demonstration was the main tool used to determine TCE mass
distribution and removal. Two data evaluation methods were used for estimating TCE/DNAPL masses in
the steam injection plot before and after the demonstration:
a Linear interpolation (contouring)
a Kriging
Section 4.1 of the report contains a general description of these methods. Section 5.1 of this report) sum-
marizes the results obtained from using contouring and kriging to estimate TCE/DNAPL masses. Both
methods are linear interpolation methods that predict the TCE concentration between two sampling points
whose actual TCE concentrations are known. Both methods assume that the TCE concentrations are
linearly distributed between sampling points. The contouring method estimates the TCE concentration
between the two sample points by averaging the known TCE concentrations. Both the predicted and
actual concentration values then are used to create a three-dimensional contour plot of the TCE concentra-
tions in the targeted stratigraphic unit. A software program, such as Earth Vision, has an edge over
manual calculations in that it is easier to conduct the linear interpolation in three dimensions.
The contour plot consists of iso-concentration shells for TCE. The TCE concentration of each shell is
multiplied by the volume of the shell (as estimated by the software) and the bulk density of the soil (esti-
mated as 1.59 g/cm3 during site characterization) to estimate a TCE mass for each shell. The total sum of
the mass estimates from the individual shells is quantified as the estimated total TCE mass in the targeted
unit. The DNAPL mass is obtained by adding up the portion of the shells that have TCE concentrations
above 300 mg/kg. In contouring, the only way to address the spatial variability of the TCE distribution is
to collect as large a number of samples as is practical so that good coverage of the plot is obtained; the
higher the sampling density, the smaller the distances over which the data need to be interpolated. By
collecting approximately 300 samples in the plot during the pre- and postdemonstration sampling events,
sufficient coverage of the plot was obtained to make a reliable determination of the true TCE mass in the
region of interest. However, linear interpolation by contouring does not minimize the errors associated
with the predicted values of TCE concentrations. Section A. 1.1 of this appendix describes how the
number of samples and appropriate sampling locations were determined to obtain good coverage of the
75 ft x 50 ft plot.
Kriging also uses the known TCE concentrations from sampling points to predict the TCE concentrations
between those points. Kriging uses spatial correlations among the TCE data and makes inferences about
the TCE concentrations at unsampled points. Spatial correlation analysis determines the extent to which
TCE concentrations at various points in the plot are similar or different. Generally, the degree to which
TCE concentrations are similar or different is a function of distance and direction. Based on these corre-
lations, kriging determines how the TCE concentrations at sampled points can be optimally weighted to
infer the TCE concentrations at unsampled points in an entire region of interest (i.e., the entire test plot or
a single stratigraphic unit).
Kriging accounts for the uncertainty in each point estimate by calculating a standard error for the esti-
mate. Therefore, a range of TCE concentration estimates is obtained instead of a single estimate; this
range is defined by an average and a standard error or by a confidence interval. The average value and
standard error for the range of TCE concentrations is then used to calculate an average value and standard
error for the TCE mass in the targeted region. The confidence or level of significance required by the
project objectives determines the width of this range. A level of significance of 0.2 (or 80% confidence)
A-l

was targeted for the data evaluation. The sampling design sought to ensure a level of significance of 80%
and a power of 75% for the statistical tests used to analyze TCE removal. Section A. 1.2 of this appendix
describes the kriging method further.
The spatial variability or spread of the TCE distribution in a DNAPL source zone typically is high due to
small pockets of residual solvent that may be distributed unevenly across the source region. The two
linear interpolation methods address this spatial variability in different ways, and therefore the resulting
mass removal estimates differ slightly. Because it was impractical to sample every point in the steam
injection plot to obtain a true TCE mass estimate for the plot, both data evaluation methods addressed the
practical difficulty of estimating the TCE concentrations at unsampled points by interpolating between
sampled points. The objective of both methods was to use the information from a limited sample set to
make an inference about the entire population.
Both contouring and kriging were used to estimate the total TCE mass in the targeted unit before and after
the steam injection treatment. Kriging was the preferred method for handling spatially correlated data
because kriging minimized the errors associated with the predicted TCE concentration values. The TCE
mass estimate from the kriging and contouring methods were compared to each other. The TCE mass
estimate from the contouring method fell within the range of the kriging TCE mass estimates. The con-
touring method was used to estimate the DNAPL mass in the targeted unit before and after treatment by
examining the data for those regions of the plot that exceed the TCE saturation threshold. Kriging was
not used for estimating the DNAPL mass in the targeted unit because the site characterization data
indicated that too few soil samples had TCE concentrations above the DNAPL threshold value.
The TCE mass removal percentage range was determined after the confidence intervals for the pre- and
posttreatment total TCE masses were calculated by kriging at the 80% confidence level. In general, the
statistical evaluation was adjusted as more information about the actual TCE distribution inside the test
plot before and after treatment was gathered. The combined methods of contouring and kriging for total
TCE mass and contouring for DNAPL mass have been found the most suitable for evaluating the tech-
nology effectiveness during previous demonstrations at this site (Battelle, 2001b; Battelle, 2001c). The
proposed methodology also has been found to be superior to the statistical paired comparison method
mentioned in previous QAPPs for this site (Battelle, 1999a, b).
Although the primary objective of this demonstration is to evaluate TCE destruction, the soil samples also
will be analyzed for DCE and VC concentrations. This data will be used to determine general trends in
the TCE degradation byproducts that may have formed during treatment. Kriging and contouring will not
be used to estimate the mass of the DCE and VC data.
A.1.1 Sampling Design to Obtain Sufficient Coverage of the Steam Injection Plot
Selection of the sampling plan for this particular test plot was based, in part, on the objectives of the study
for which the samples were being collected. In this study, the objectives were:
a Primary objective: To determine the magnitude of the reduction in the levels of TCE across
the entire test plot.
a Secondary objectives:
To determine whether remediation effectiveness differs by depth (or stratigraphic unit such
as the upper sand unit [USU], middle fine-grained unit [MFGU], or lower sand unit [LSU]).
To determine whether the three remediation technologies demonstrated differ in their
effectiveness at removing chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs).

-------
Four alternative plans for selecting the number and location of sampling in the test plot were examined.
These four plans were designated as simple random sampling (SRS), paired sampling, stratified sampling,
and systematic sampling. Systematic sampling was chosen as the best approach for sampling soil in the
steam injection plot. Each of the four plans, including the advantages and limitations, are discussed in
brief detail below.
Simple Random Sampling
The most basic statistical sampling plan is SRS, in which all locations within a given sampling region are
equally likely to be chosen for sampling. For this study, using SRS would require developing separate
SRS plans for each of the three test plots. In addition, because two sampling events were planned for the
test plot, using SRS would involve determining two sets of unrelated sampling locations for the test plot.
The main benefit of using SRS is that the appropriate sample size can be determined easily based on the
required power to detect a specific decrease in contaminant levels. In addition, SRS usually involves a
reasonable number of samples. However, a key disadvantage of using SRS is that it would not guarantee
complete coverage of the test plot; also, if contaminant levels are spatially correlated, SRS is not the most
efficient sampling design available.
Paired Sampling
Paired sampling builds on SRS methods to generate one set of paired sampling locations for a given test
plot rather than two separate sets. Instead of sampling from each of two separate random sample
locations for pre- and post-remediation sampling, paired sampling involves the positioning of post-
remediation sample locations near the locations of pre-remediation sampling. The number of samples
required to meet specific power and difference requirements when using this design would be similar to
the number of locations involved using SRS; the exact sample size cannot be determined because
information is required about contaminant levels at collocated sites before and after remediation.
Paired sampling offers three significant benefits to this particular study. First, the work of determining
the sampling locations is reduced in half. Second, the comparison of contaminant levels before and after
remediation is based on the differences in levels at collocated sites. Third, the variability of the difference
should be less than the variability associated with the SRS, which would result in a more accurate test.
The disadvantages of this sampling procedure are the same as with the SRS: there is no guarantee of
complete coverage of the test plot, and the plan is inefficient for spatially correlated data.
Stratified Sampling
Stratified sampling guarantees better coverage of the plot than either SRS or paired sampling: to ensure
complete coverage of a given test plot, it is divided into a regular grid of cells, and random samples are
drawn from each of the grid cells. Samples then are selected within each grid cell either using SRS or
paired sampling. The number of samples required to meet specific power and difference requirements
would be slightly greater than that for SRS, although the difference would not be great. For this study,
which involves test plots 50 X 75 ft in size, the most effective grid size would be 25 X 25 ft, which results
in six grid cells per test plot.
Again, the main benefit of stratified sampling is that it guarantees more complete coverage of the test plot
than SRS or paired sampling. Also, if any systematic differences in contaminant levels exist across the
site, stratified sampling allows for separate inferences by sub-plot (i.e., grid cell). Disadvantages of
stratified sampling are that the method requires a slightly larger number of samples than SRS or paired
A-3
-------
sampling methods, and that stratified sampling performs poorly when contaminant levels are spatially
correlated.
Systematic Sampling
The samples for the steam injection demonstration were collected using a systematic sampling plan. Syste-
matic sampling is the term applied to plans where samples are located in a regular pattern. In geographic
applications such as this study, the systematic sampling method involves the positioning of sampling loca-
tions at the nodes of a regular grid. The grid need not be square or rectangular; in fact, a grid of equilateral
triangles is the most efficient grid design. (Regular hexagonal grids also have been used regularly and are
nearly as efficient as triangles and squares.) The number of samples and the size of the area to be sampled
determine the dimensions of the grid to be used. With systematic sampling, the selection of initial (e.g., pre-
remediation) set of sampling locations requires the random location of only one grid node, because all other
grid nodes will be determined based on the required size of the grid and the position of that first node. A
second (e.g., post-remediation) set of sampling locations can be either chosen using a different random
placement of the grid or collocated with the initial set of sampling locations.
One variation of the systematic sampling method worth consideration is unaligned sampling. Under this
method, a given test plot is divided into a grid with an equal number of rows and columns. One sample
per grid cell then is selected by:
a Assigning random horizontal coordinates for each row of the grid;
a Assigning random vertical coordinates for each column of the grid;
a Determining the sampling locations for a cell by using the horizontal and vertical coordinates
selected for the corresponding row and column.
In other words, every cell in a row shares a horizontal coordinate, and every cell in a column shares a
vertical coordinate. Figure A. 1-1 illustrates the locations generated using unaligned systematic sampling
with a 3 x 3 grid.

-------
The major benefit of systematic sampling was that it is the most efficient design for spatially correlated
data. In addition, coverage of the entire plot was guaranteed. One disadvantage of systematic sampling
was that determining the required sample size was more difficult than the other three methods discussed
in this appendix.
A.1.2 Kriging Methods and Results
The geostatistical analysis approach was to utilize kriging, a statistical spatial interpolation procedure, to
estimate the overall average TCE concentration in soil before and after remediation, and then determine if
those concentrations were significantly different.
To meet the objectives of this study, it was sufficient to estimate the overall mean TCE concentration
across an entire test plot, rather than estimating TCE concentrations at various spatial locations within a
test plot. In geostatistical terms, this is known as global estimation. One approach for calculating a
global mean estimate is to calculate the simple arithmetic average (i.e., the equally weighted average)
across all available TCE concentrations measured within the plot. However, this approach is appropriate
only in cases where no correlation is present in the measured data. Unfortunately, this is a rare situation
in the environmental sciences.
A second approach, and the approach taken in this analysis, is to use a spatial statistical procedure called
kriging to take account of spatial correlation when calculating the global average. Kriging is a statistical
interpolation method for analyzing spatially varying data. It is used to estimate TCE concentrations (or
any other important parameter) on a dense grid of spatial locations covering the region of interest, or as a
global average across the entire region. At each location, two values are calculated with the kriging
procedure: the estimate of TCE concentration (mg/kg), and the standard error of the estimate (also in
mg/kg). The standard error can be used to calculate confidence intervals or confidence bounds for the
estimates. It should be noted that this calculation of confidence intervals and bounds also requires a
serious distributional assumption, such as a normality assumption, which is typically more reasonable for
global estimates than for local estimates.
The kriging approach includes two primary analysis steps:
1. Estimate and model spatial correlations in the available monitoring data using a semivariogram
analysis.
2. Use the resulting semivariogram model and the available monitoring data to interpolate (i.e.,
estimate) TCE values at unsampled locations; calculate the statistical standard error associated
with each estimated value.
A. 1.2.1 Spatial Correlation Analysis
The objective of the spatial correlation analysis is to statistically determine the extent to which measure-
ments taken at different locations are similar or different. Generally, the degree to which TCE measure-
ments taken at two locations are different is a function of the distance and direction between the two
sampling locations. Also, for the same separation distance between two sampling locations, the spatial
correlation may vary as a function of the direction between the sampling locations. For example, values
measured at each of two locations, a certain distance apart, are often more similar when the locations are
at the same depth, than when they are at the same distance apart but at very different depths.
Spatial correlation is statistically assessed with the semivariogram function, (h), which is defined as
follows (Journel and Huijbregts, 1981):
A-5
-------
h) = E{[Z(x)-Z(x + h)]2}
where Z(x) is the TCE measured at location x, h is the vector of separation between locations x and x_+ h,
and E represents the expected value or average over the region of interest. Note that the location x is
typically defined by an easting, northing, and depth coordinate. The vector of separation is typically
defined as a three-dimensional shift in space. The semivariogram is a measure of spatial differences, so
that small semivariogram values correspond to high spatial correlation, and large semivariogram values
correspond to low correlation.
As an initial hypothesis, it is always wise to assume that the strength of spatial correlation is a function of
both distance and direction between the sampling locations. When the spatial correlation is found to
depend on both separation distance and direction, it is said to be anisotropic. In contrast, when the spatial
correlation is the same in all directions, and therefore depends only on separation distance, it is said to be
isotropic.
The spatial correlation analysis is conducted in the following steps using the available measured TCE
data:
a Experimental semivariogram curves are generated by organizing all pairs of data locations
into various separation distance and direction classes (e.g., all pairs separated by 20-25 ft in
the east-west direction +22.5ฐ), and then calculating within each class the average squared-
difference between the TCE measurements taken at each pair of locations. The results of
these calculations are plotted against separation distance and by separation direction.
a To help fully understand the spatial correlation structure, a variety of experimental semi-
variogram curves may be generated by subsetting the data into discrete zones, such as
different depth horizons. If significant differences are found in the semivariograms they are
modeled separately; if not, the data are pooled together into a single semivariogram.
a After the data have been pooled or subsetted accordingly, and the associated experimental
semivariograms have been calculated and plotted, a positive-definite analytical model is fitted
to each experimental curve. The fitted semivariogram model is then used to input the spatial
correlation structure into the subsequent kriging interpolation step.
A.l.2.2 Interpolation Using Ordinary Kriging
Ordinary kriging is a linear geostatistical estimation method which uses the semivariogram function to
determine the optimal weighting of the measured TCE values to be used for the required estimates, and to
calculate the estimation standard error associated with the estimates (Journel and Huijbregts, 1981). In a
sense, kriging is no different from other classical interpolation and contouring algorithms. However,
kriging is different in that it produces statistically optimal estimates and associated precision measures. It
should be noted that the ordinary kriging variance, while easy to calculate and readily available from most
standard geostatistical software packages, may have limited usefulness in cases where local estimates are
to be calculated, and the data probability distribution is highly skewed or non-gaussian. The ordinary
kriging variance is more appropriately used for global estimates and symmetric or gaussian data distri-
butions. The ordinary kriging variance provides a standard error measure associated with the data density
and spatial data arrangement relative to the point or block being kriged. However, the ordinary kriging
variance is independent of the data values themselves, and therefore may not provide an accurate measure
of local estimation precision.

A. 1.2.3 TCE Data Summary
Semivariogram and kriging analyses were conducted on data collected from the steam injection plot. The
plot was approximately 50 by 75 feet in size, and was sampled via 26 boreholes, half before and half after
remediation. The location of each drill hole was recorded by measuring the distance in the northing and
easting directions from a designated point on the Cape Canaveral Air Station.
Pre- and post-remediation TCE measurements were collected in order to analyze the effectiveness of the
contaminant removal methods. The sampling borehole locations were predetermined spatially based on
the aforementioned unaligned systematic sampling design in a 12-grid of the steam injection plot for both
pre- and postdemonstration characterization. In addition, one duplicate borehole was drilled approxi-
mately 2 feet away from the corresponding primary borehole during each pre- and post-remediation sam-
pling event. Because the approach for the kriging analysis considered the pre- and post-remediation data
as independent data sets (see Section 1.0), the duplicate samples were included in the analyses, even
though the pre-remediation duplicate borehole did not correspond to the same location as the post-
remediation duplicate borehole.
The cores were drilled at least 44 feet deep; and the largest drill hole extends 46 feet. Except in instances
where no core was recovered, every 2 feet of the borehole soil samples were collected and analyzed for
TCE concentration levels. Thus, approximately 20 to 25 2-foot core sections were analyzed from each
borehole. The vertical location of each core section was identified by the elevation of the midpoint of the
section above sea level. At the time of data collection, the surface elevation at the location of the drill
hole, as well as the top and bottom depths of each core section (rounded to the nearest half of a foot),
were recorded. Hence, the elevation of each sample was calculated by the subtracting the average of the
top and bottom depths from the surface elevation. For example, if a sample was collected from a core
section that started and ended at 20 and 22 feet below a ground surface elevation of 5.2 feet, then the
sample elevation equaled 5.2 - (20+22)72=15.8 feet above sea level.
In some cases, field duplicate samples were collected by splitting an individual two-foot core section. In
order to optimize the additional data, all measurements were used when evaluating spatial correlation
with the semivariogram analysis, and when conducting the kriging analysis. However, to remain compat-
ible with the kriging software, it was necessary to shift the location of the duplicate data slightly, by
adding one-tenth of a foot to the easting coordinate. Table A.1-1 summarizes the number of samples and
duplicate samples collected from the soil cores. The duplicate soil core that was collected during each
pre- and postdemonstration sampling event is counted in the "Total # of Duplicate Samples" column.

There were also cases where the observed TCE concentration for a particular sample occurred below the
analytical method detection limit (MDL). In such cases, the measurement that was included in our
analyses equaled one-half of the given MDL. Table A. 1-2 summarizes the number of observations that

When a two-foot section was removed from the core, the sample was identified by the easting, northing,
and elevation coordinates. In addition, the geologic stratum, or soil type of the sample, was also docu-
mented. These strata and soil types included the vadose zone, Upper Sand Unit (USU), Middle Fine-
Grained Unit (MFGU), and Lower Sand Unit (LSU). Note that the stratum of the sample was not solely
determined by depth, but also by inspection by a geologist.
A. 1.2.4 Semivariogram Results
In this study, the computer software used to perform the geostatistical calculations was Battelle's
BATGAM software, which is based on the GSLIB Software written by the Department of Applied Earth
Sciences at Stanford University, and documented and released by Prof. Andre Journel and Dr. Clayton
Deutsch (Deutsch and Journel, 1998). The primary subroutine used to calculate experimental semi-
variograms was GAMV3, which is used for three-dimensional irregularly spaced data.
The data were considered vertically and separately by layer (i.e., USU, MFGU and LSU layers). Semi-
variogram and kriging analyses were not performed with the vadose data since the pre-remediation TCE
concentrations were already relatively low and insignificant. In all cases, the experimental semivario-
grams are relatively variable due to high data variability and modest sample sizes. As a result, the semi-
variogram model fitting is relatively uncertain, meaning that a relatively wide range of semivariogram
models could adequately fit the experimental semivariogram points. This probably does not affect the
TCE estimates (especially the global estimates), but could significantly affect the associated confidence
bounds.
A. 1.2.5 Kriging Results
The kriging analysis was performed using the BATGAM software and GSLIB subroutine KT3D. To
conduct this analysis, each plot was defined as a set of vertical layers and sub-layers. Estimated mean
TCE concentrations were then calculated via kriging for each sub-layer separately, as well as across the
sub-layers. The vertical layering for kriging was consistent with the semivariogram modeling:
(a) Kriging the steam injection plot was performed separately for the USU, MFGU and LSU layers.
The thickness of the USU unit is set to be 28 ft., with a vertical midpoint of-3 ft (i.e., 3 ft below
MSL). The thickness of the MFGU unit is 8 ft, with a vertical midpoint of-21 ft below MSL.
The thickness of the LSU unit is to be 10 ft., with a vertical midpoint of-30 ft. (i.e., 30 ft below
MSL).
(b) For kriging of each layer (i.e., USU or MFGU or LSU separately), the data search considered all
available data at all elevations. Note that by extending the data search radius to include all data
within a plot, an implicit assumption is made that the semivariogram model holds true for
distances up to about 100 ft., which are distances beyond those observable with this dataset in the
A-8
-------
experimental semivariograms. This assumption seems reasonable given the relatively short
dimensions of the steam injection plot.
Results from the kriging analysis are presented in Tables A. 1-3 and A. 1-4 for the steam injection pre- and
post-remediation data, and for each of USU, MFGU and LSU layers, as well as by sub-layer within each
layer. Because of the shortcomings of using the ordinary kriging variance (discussed in Section 1.0) for
local estimates, confidence bounds are only presented in Table A. 1-3 for the global layer estimates. In
cases where the upper confidence bound for the post-remediation average TCE concentration falls below
the lower confidence bound for the pre-remediation average TCE concentration, the post-remediation
TCE concentrations are statistically significantly lower than the pre-remediation TCE concentrations. For
the steam injection technology demonstration, this case did not occur in any of each stratigraphic unit or
the entire plot. Following are the kriging summary of TCE in the three units.
USU Results. These vertical dimensions were kept constant for both the Pre-demo and Post-demo
calculations. The estimated (two-sided, 80% confidence interval) Pre-demo TCE concentration is 247.1

The estimated total TCE mass and reductions (expressed on a percentage basis) are shown in Tables A. 1-
4 and A. 1-5. The total TCE masses are calculated by multiplying the concentration estimates in the three
stratigraphic units by the soil bulk density (1.590 g/cm3) and the mass of dry soil in each stratigraphic
unit.

USU Results. The reduction of TCE in the USU is estimated to be 67 ฑ35%. To test whether the TCE
reduction is significant, an 80% lower confidence bound was calculated on the difference of the pre-demo
minus post-demo TCE concentrations. If this lower concentration bound (LCB) is greater than 0 (zero),
then the reduction is significant at the 20% significance level. The estimated average TCE concentration
reduction is 712 kg (i.e., 67% of the TCE was removed), with an 80% LCB of 89.2 mg/kg, which is
significant at the 20% significance level. In fact, this reduction is significant up to about the 3% level of
significance.
MFGU Results. The reduction of TCE in the MFGU is estimated to be 85 ฑ12%. The estimated TCE
concentration reduction is 2,529.3 mg/kg (i.e., 85% of the TCE was removed), with an 80% LCB of
2,088.0 mg/kg, which is significant at the 20% significance level. In fact, this reduction is significant up
to the 1% level of significance and higher.
LSU Results. The reduction of TCE in the LSU is estimated to be 85ฑ5%. The estimated (two-sided,
80% confidence interval) post-demo TCE concentration is 497.0 (ฑ) 145.9 mg/kg. The estimated TCE
concentration reduction is 3496.2 mg/kg (i.e., 88% of the TCE was removed), with an 80% LCB of
3071.1 mg/kg, which is significant at the 20% significance level. In fact, this reduction is significant up
to the 1% level of significance and higher.
In summary, the reduction in TCE for the entire plot is estimated to be 85.2% ฑ5% (i.e., an interval of
80.2-90.2%). The confidence bounds by recognizing that the % reduction is the ratio of two estimated
quantities, and using a Taylor Series expansion to estimate the uncertainty in the ratio.

A.2 Sample Collection and Extraction Methods
This section describes the modification made to the EPA standard methods to address the lithologic
heterogeneities and extreme variability of the contaminant distribution expected in the DNAPL source
region at Launch Complex 34. Horizontal variability was addressed by collecting a statistically deter-
mined number (12) of soil cores in the steam injection plot. The vertical variability at each soil coring
location was addressed with this modified sampling and extraction procedure, which involved extraction
of much larger quantities of soil in each extracted sample, as well as allowed collection and extraction of
around 300 samples in the field per event. This extraction allowed the extraction and analysis of the
entire vertical column of soil at a given coring location.
A.2.1 Soil Sample Collection (Modified ASTM D4547-98) (1997c)
A.2.1.1 Predemonstration Sampling Procedure
The soil samples collected before and after the demonstration were sampled using a stainless steel core
barrel driven into the subsurface by a Vibra-Pushฎ drilling rig. After the core barrel was driven the
required distance, it was brought to the surface and the soil sample was examined and characterized for
lithology. One quarter of the sample was sliced from the core and placed into a pre-weighed 500-mL
polyethylene container. At locations where a field duplicate sample was collected, a second one-quarter
sample was split from the core and placed into another pre-weighed 500-mL polyethylene container. The
remaining portion of the core was placed into a 55-gallon drum and disposed of as waste. The samples
were labeled with the date, time, and sample identification code, and stored on ice at 4ฐC until they were
brought inside to the on-site laboratory for the extraction procedure.
After receiving the samples from the drilling activities, personnel staffing the field laboratory performed
the methanol extraction procedure as outlined in Section A.2.2 of this appendix. The extraction procedure
was performed on all of the primary samples collected during drilling activities and on all of the field
duplicate samples collected for quality assurance (5% of the primary samples, or approximately one
duplicate sample per borehole). Samples were stored at 4ฐC until extraction procedures were performed.
After the extraction procedure was finished, the soil samples were dried in an oven at 105ฐC and the dry
weight of each sample was determined. The samples were then disposed of as waste. The remaining
three-quarter section of each core previously stored in a separate 500-mL polyethylene bottle were
archived until the off-site laboratory had completed the analysis of the methanol extract. The samples
were then disposed of in an appropriate manner.
A.2.1.2 Postdemonstration Soil Sampling Procedure
Modifications were made to the soil sampling procedure during the postdemonstration sampling event in
an effort to minimize any VOC loss associated with the elevated soil temperatures. The following
procedure was used during postdemonstration soil sampling:
a Soil samples were collected in a butyrate sleeve located inside the stainless steel core barrel
of the Vibra-Pushฎ drilling rig. After the core barrel was driven the required distance, the
barrel was brought to the surface and the butyrate sleeve containing the soil was removed
from the stainless steel core barrel. The butyrate sleeve was immediately capped on both
ends using flexible polymer sheets to minimize VOC losses. The temperature of the soil was
monitored by placing a thermometer into one end of the sleeve. The entire sleeve was placed
in an ice bath for approximately 30 minutes to cool the soil below 20ฐC before collecting
samples.
A-12
-------
a After the soil had cooled, the sleeve was removed from the ice bath and opened. Multiple
subsamples of soil were scooped from the two-foot section of core designated for sampling
into a pre-weighed, 500-mL polyethylene bottle containing approximately 250 mL of
reagent-grade methanol. Approximately 125 g of soil were added to the bottle. In contrast to
the predemonstration sampling procedure, the soil was added directly to a methanol-filled
bottle in the field in an attempt to minimize and capture any VOCs that might have collected
in the headspace of the bottle. At depths were a duplicate soil sample was collected, the soil
was collected into a second methanol-filled bottle. One duplicate sample was collected per
borehole (5%) for quality control. The bottles were stored at 4ฐC until the methanol
extraction could be performed in the on-site field lab.
a After the soil samples had been collected, the core was characterized for lithology and then
discarded in an appropriate manner. Lithological characterization was performed last
because of the need to collect the soil samples as quickly as possible to minimize VOC
losses.
a All field personnel exercised caution while handling and sampling soil cores with elevated
temperatures. The drilling crew and Battelle field personnel used special heat-resistant
gloves in instances where the cores were too hot to handle with the standard nitrile gloves.
a After the extraction procedure was finished, the soil samples were dried in an oven at 105ฐC
and the dry weight of each sample was determined. The samples were then disposed of as
waste.
A.2.2 Soil Extraction Procedure (Modified EPA SW846-Method 5035)
Extreme care was taken to minimize the disturbance of the soil sample so that loss of volatile components
was minimal. Nitrile gloves were worn by field personnel whenever handling sample cores or pre-weighed
sample containers. A modification of EPA SW846-Method 5035 was used to procure the cored samples in
the field. Method 5035 lists different procedures for processing samples that are expected to contain low
concentrations (0.5 to 200 |lg/kg) or high concentrations (>200 |lg/kg) of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs). Procedures for high levels of VOCs were used in the field because those procedures facilitated the
processing of large-volume sample cores collected during soil sampling activities.
Two sample collection options and corresponding sample purging procedures are described in Method
5035; however, the procedure chosen for this study was based on collecting approximately 150 to 200 g
of wet soil sample in a pre-weighed bottle that contains 250 mL of methanol. A modification of this
method was used in the study, as described by the following procedure:
a After soil samples were brought in from the field, the bottles were reweighed and then stored in
a refrigerator at 4ฐC until the extraction procedure was performed. Extractions were performed
on all soil samples collected. During the postdemonstration sampling event, a surrogate spike
of 1,1,1 trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) was added to the soil sample collected from 2 ft bgs. The
purpose of the surrogate spike was to test the efficiency of the extraction procedure, and the 2-ft
depth was chosen because the soil at that depth contained relatively little TCE that would
interfere with the TCA analysis. The soil samples spiked with TCA were handled in the same
manner as all other samples during the extraction procedure.
a The bottles containing methanol and soil were placed on an orbital shaker table and agitated
for approximately 30 min.
A-13
-------
a Containers were removed from the shaker table and reweighed to ensure that no methanol
was lost during the agitation period. The containers were placed upright and suspended soil
matter was allowed to settle for approximately 15 min.
a The 500 mL containers were then placed in a floor-mounted centrifuge. The centrifuge speed
was set at 2,800-3,000 rpm and the samples were centrifuged for 10 min.
a Methanol extract was then pipetted into disposable 20-mL glass volatile organic analysis
(VOA) vials using 10-mL disposable borosilicate pipettes. The 20-mL glass VOA vials
containing the extract then were capped, labeled, and stored in a refrigerator at 4ฐC until they
were shipped on ice to the off-site analytical laboratory.
a Methanol samples in VOA vials were placed in coolers and maintained at approximately 4ฐC
with ice. Samples were shipped overnight via air to the subcontracted off-site laboratory with
properly completed chain-of-custody forms and custody seals.
a The dry weight of each of the soil samples was determined gravimetrically after decanting the
remaining solvent and drying the soil in an oven at 105ฐC. Final concentrations of VOCs
were calculated per dry weight of soil.
Three potential concerns existed with the modified solvent extraction method. The first concern was that
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) had not formally evaluated the use of
methanol as a preservative for VOCs. However, methanol extraction often is used in site characterization
studies, so the uncertainty in using this approach was reasonable. The second concern was that the
extraction procedure itself would introduce a significant dilution factor that could raise the method quanti-
tation limit beyond that of a direct purge-and-trap procedure. The third concern was that excess methanol
used in the extractions would likely fail the ignitability characteristic, thereby making the unused sample
volume a hazardous waste. During characterization activities, the used methanol extract was disposed of
as hazardous waste into a 5 5-gallon drum. The suitability of using the modified soil extraction procedure
was confirmed through experiments involving a surrogate compound spiked into soil samples. TCE
recoveries in samples ranged from 72 to 86% based on the results of the spiking experiments (Battelle
1999).
The analytical portion of Method 5035 describes a closed-system purge-and-trap process for use on solid
media such as soils, sediments, and solid waste. The purge-and-trap system consists of a unit that auto-
matically adds water, surrogates, and internal standards to a vial containing the sample. Then the process
purges the VOCs using an inert gas stream while agitating the contents of the vial, and finally traps the
released VOCs for subsequent desorption into a gas chromatograph (GC). STL Environmental Services
analyzed the solvent extraction samples collected for the predemonstration, April 2001, and August 2001
sampling events. DHL Analytical Laboratory was contracted to analyze all subsequent extraction sam-
ples. Soil samples were analyzed for organic constituents according to the parameters summarized in
Table A.2-1. Laboratory instruments were calibrated for VOCs according to EPA Method 8260B.
Samples were analyzed as soon as was practical and within the designated holding time from collection
(14 days). No samples were analyzed outside of the designated 14-day holding time.

B.I Data Analysis Methods and Results for the Slug Tests
Slug tests were performed on well clusters PA-13 and PA-14 within the resistive heating
plot for pre-demonstration and post-demonstration to determine if the remediation system
affected the permeability of the aquifer. The tests consisted of placing a pressure transducer and
1.5-inch-diameter by 5-ft-long solid PVC slug within the well. After the water level reached an
equilibrium, the slug was removed rapidly. Removal of the slug created approximately 1.6 ft of
change in water level within the well. Water level recovery was then monitored for 10 minutes
using a TROLL pressure transducer/data logger. The data was then downloaded to a notebook
computer. Replicate tests were performed for each well.
The recovery rates of the water levels were analyzed with the Bouwer (1989) and Bouwer and
Rice (1976) methods for slug tests in unconfmed aquifers. Graphs were made showing the
changes in water level versus time and curve fitted on a semi-logarithmic graph. The slope of the
fitted line then was used in conjunction with the well parameters to provide a value of the
permeability of the materials surrounding the well. Tests showed very high coefficient of
determinations (R2), with all R2s above 0.95. The results also showed a very good agreement
between the replicate tests. However, in wells PA-14S and PA-14I some unclear response was
observed, where the water levels never returned to the original levels or started decreasing again
after reaching equilibrium. It should be noted that during the demonstration, the wells became
pressurized, and some residual effects of the pressurization may still be present within the
resistive heating plot wells.
The tests are subject to minor variations. As such, a change of more than a magnitude of order
would be required to indicate a change in the permeability of the sediments. Keeping this in
mind, no tests showed a substantial change in permeability as shown on Table 1. However, five
of the six tests indicated a net increase in permeability. Overall, this would suggest that the
resistive heating plot technology had a small effect on the sediments in the test plot, increasing
the overall permeability of the plot, but not significantly.

1. OBJECTIVE
1.1 This procedure is for the determination of organic carbon in soil samples for analysis of soil, solids, or metal alloys using
the LECO TOC instrument method.
2. SCOPE
2.1 In the LECO method, total organic carbon in soil samples is measured by detection of total carbon by reaction with
oxygen and detection using IR analysis. Soils are first acid washed to remove inorganic carbon before being analyzed in
the LECO instrument. In steel alloys, total carbon is the only portion analyzed.
2.2 For the LECO method the detection limit for is 10 mg/kg for soil samples and 0.001% for metal alloy samples
2.3 Metal alloy samples will give biased TOC results by the LECO method if oil or grease is present on the metal turnings
or shavings. This is prevented by washing the turnings in acetone and drying prior to analysis.

6. REAGENTS & STANDARDS
6.1 Copper Accelerator Reagent - LECO or equivalent
6.2 TOC in Soil Standard and TOC in Steel Standard - LECO or equivalent. A second source standard is required for the
LECO method.
6.3 6N HC1 - Carefully add 100 ml of concentrated HC1 to 100 ml of DI water.
7. SAMPLE HANDLING & PRESERVATION
7.1 Soil samples for TOC analysis must be refrigerated prior to analysis. There is no established holding time and a 28 days
internal holding time is recommended.
7.2 Metal samples for carbon content analysis are held at room temperature until analysis. There is no established holding
time.
8. PROCEDURE
8.1 Analysis of Soil Samples
8.1.1 For each soil sample, place about 5 grams of sample into a numbered planchet and dry at 103-105ฐ C overnight.
8.1.2 Go through the maintenance checklist and perform all the instrument maintenance items and system checks.
Record the completion of the checks by dating and initialling the checklist and placing a tic mark on the
checklist for all items performed. Place a LECO crucible on the weighing pan and tare the balance. To
prepare the blank (ICB), add approximately 0.25 gram of Ottawa sand to the crucible and store the weight in
the data system. Add one scoop of copper accelerator to the ICB and carefully homogenize. Place the crucible
on the sample holding tray in the first position.
8.1.3 Place a LECO crucible on the weighing pan and tare the balance. Add approximately 0.25 gram of LECO carbon
standard (1CV) to the crucible and store the weight in the data system. Add one scoop of copper accelerator to
the standard and carefully homogenize. Place the crucible on the sample holding tray in the second position.
Likewise, prepare a lab control standard (LCS) from a different standard.
8.1.4 In a similar fashion weigh 0.25 grams of sample into a crucible, add accelerator, and place onto the holding tray.
Complete this for every sample to be analyzed and for the spike sample and spike duplicate. The spike and
spike duplicate must be prepared for each set of 10 samples or less. After the last sample is weighed, weigh
another portion of standard in a crucible and a portion of Ottawa sand to use as the end of run calibration check
and end of run blank.
8.1.5 Bring all the crucibles to the vacuum filtration apparatus. Place the crucibles in order into the crucible holder and
apply the vacuum, rinse each sample and QC check with a portion of 6N hydrochloric acid to remove the

carbonates. After the liquid is removed, add another portion of HC1, and leave on the vacuum until the liquid
is removed. Place the sample back into the holding tray. Dry for at least 4 hours at 103-105ฐ C.
8.1.6 Analyze the standards and samples. Open the induction furnace and put the crucible on the pedestal. Close the
furnace and wait for the instrument green ready light to illuminate. Press the "ANALYZE" button. The
analytical results will be stored in the data system and printed in the strip chart. Remove the crucible and
discard after it has cooled.
8.1.7 Select a sample weight according to the following table:
mg/kg TOG Sample Weight
10 - 5000
2000 - 50,000
20,000 - 100,000
8.2 Analysis of Metal Samples
l.OOi
0.50 g
0.20 g
8.2.1 Go through the maintenance checklist and perform all the instrument maintenance items and system checks.
Record the completion of the checks by dating and initialling the checklist and placing a tic mark on the
checklist for all items performed. If samples are received in ingot or other solid form, the sample must be
prepared in the lab. Clean the surface with acetone to remove any oil or grease and lock into place on the
drilling surface. Using a sharp drill bit designed for drilling metals, drill into the surface and collect the
shavings. If needed, move the sample to different position and collect more shavings. Keep the sample free
from contamination during the preparation. If sample shavings are received from the client, the shavings must
be washed with acetone and dried prior to analysis to remove residual grease and oil.
8.2.2 Place a LECO crucible on the weighing pan and tare the balance. Add approximately 0.5 gram of LECO carbon
standard (1CV) to the crucible and store the weight in the data system. Add one scoop of copper accelerator to
the standard and carefully homogenize.
8.2.3 Open the induction furnace and put the crucible on the pedestal. Close the furnace and wait for the instrument
green ready light to illuminate. Press the "ANALYZE" button. The analytical results will be stored in the data
system and printed in the strip chart. Remove the crucible and discard after it has cooled.
8.2.4 Repeat steps 8.3.2 and 8.3.3 for the second source standard (LCS), for the samples, for at least one sample
duplicate for each 10 samples and analyze a standard at the end of run. See Section 10 - Quality Control for
the control limits for the standards and duplicates.
8.2.5 Select a sample weight according to the following table:
Percent Carbon Sample Weight
0.001 - 1.00
1.00-5.00
5.00 - 10.00
l.OOg
0.50 g
0.20 g
9. CALCULATIONS
The LECO instrument will report results directly in either mg/kg or percent depending on the computer set up. Because the
sample is dried prior to analysis, the results will be on a dry weight basis for soil samples.

10. QUALITY CONTROL
10.1 Initial Calibration Blank (ICB)
10.1.1 Frequency - Perform an ICB with each batch. The ICB is used to verify that no system contaminants are
present.
10.1.2 Criteria - The results of the blank must be below the reporting level for TOC. If it is above this level, it
indicates unusual contamination in the system and corrective actions must be taken to resolve the problem.
10.2 Initial Calibration Verification (ICV)
10.2.1 Frequency - The ICV is a standard reference material in soil or steel. The ICV is analyzed at the beginning of
the run.
10.2.2 Criteria - The acceptance range for the ICV is either the limit posted on the standard, or if no limits are given,
90 - 110 percent recovery. If outside the range, perform corrective action to solve the source of the error, and
then re-analyze the ICV.
10.3 Laboratory Control Standard (LCS)
10.3.1 Frequency - The LCS is prepared from a second source standard of TOC in soil or carbon in steel. It must be
analyzed with each batch of samples, after the ICV standard for the LECO methods
10.3.2 Criteria - The acceptance range for the LCS is either the limit posted on the standard, or if no limits are given,
80 - 120 percent recovery. If outside this range, stop the analysis and perform corrective action to solve the
source of the error, and then re-analyze all samples.
10.4 Matrix Spike Sample
10.4.1 Frequency: Matrix spikes are analyzed for the LECO method at a frequency of one spike for each 10 or fewer
samples
10.4.2 Criteria - The acceptance range for the matrix spike is either the limit calculated from historical results, or if no
limits have been calculated, 80 - 120 percent recovery. If outside this range, it is an indication of matrix
interference and this must be reported with the results.
10.5 Duplicate Sample or Spike Duplicate
10.5.1 Frequency: Duplicates or spike duplicates will be analyzed on a frequency of one duplicate for each 10
samples analyzed. If fewer than 10 samples are in a batch, one duplicate will be analyzed.
10.5.2 Criteria: Acceptance limits are ฑ25% RPD. If the duplicate results are outside the acceptance limits for
relative percent difference, first determine if the cause is a system error; if so, correct the problem and repeat
the duplicate. If still outside acceptance limits, the sample results should be flagged for matrix interference.

The Effect of Source Remediation Methods on the Presence and Activity of Indigenous
Subsurface Bacteria at Launch Complex 34, Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida
Prepared by
Battelle
Columbus, Ohio
June 28,1999
(Modified by T. C. Hazen, LBNL; G. Sewell, EPA;
and Arun Gavaskar, Battelle May 17,2000)
1.0 Purpose and Objectives
Overall purpose is to evaluate effects of three DNAPL source remediation treatments on the indigenous
bacterial population. The three treatments in three different plots at LC34 are six-phase heating (SPH),
chemical oxidation (OX), and steam injection (SI). The objectives of the biological sampling and
analysis are:
1. To determine the immediate effect that each remediation technology has on the microbial community
structure and specifically on TCE biodegraders.
2. To establish how quickly the microbial communities at the site recover and if any of the effects could
be long-term.
3. To determine at what point that biodegradation could be used to complete remediation of the plume.
4. To establish if any of the technologies could cause and short-term effect on significant
biogeochemical processes and the distribution and abundance of potential pathogens in the
environment.
2.0 Background
Launch Pad 34 at Cape Canaveral Air Station has dense non-aqueous phase (DNAPL) concentrations of
TCE over a wide aerial extent in relatively sandy soils with a shallow groundwater table (Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act Facility Investigation Work Plan for Launch Complex 34, Cape
Canaveral Air Station, Brevard County, Florida, 1996, Kennedy Space Center Report KSC-JJ-4277.).
These conditions have made it an ideal site for side-by-side comparison of various DNAPL remediation
technologies currently being conducted by the DNAPL Remediation Multi-agency Consortium. Initial
sampling at the site revealed that there are also high concentrations of vinyl chloride and dichloroethylene
indicating natural attenuation via biodegradation of the TCE plume has been occurring. Since these
compounds are daughter products of the anaerobic reductive dechlorination of TCE by microbes (see
discussion below) it is probable that these conditions could be greatly effected by the source remediation
processes being tested. Since most of these processes will introduce air into the subsurface and are
potentially toxic to many microbes they could have a variety of effects on the biological activity and
biodegradation rates of contaminants in the source area and the surrounding plume. The effects could
range from long-term disruption of the microbial community structure and biological activity at the site,
AppE all 1
-------
to a significant stimulation of biodegradation of TCE. Whatever the effect, it needs to be monitored
carefully since the long-term remediation of this or any similar site will be significantly effected not only
by the technologies ability to remove the DNAPL source but also by the rate of biodegradation both
natural and stimulated that can occur in the aquifer after the source is removed. The rate and extent of
biodegradation will effect how low the technology must lower the source concentration before natural or
stimulated bioremediation can complete the remediation to the ppb levels normally used as cleanup goals.
It could also have a major effect on the life-cycle costs of remediation of these sites.
Secondarily, unlikely as this is, it is also important to verify that these source remediation technologies do
not cause any gross changes biogeochemistry, and distribution and abundance of potential pathogens.
The pathogens are a possibility at this site since there was long-term sewage discharge at the edge of test
plots. Studies at other sites have suggested that stimulation of pathogens especially by thermal increases
could be a possibility and thus should be considered in the overall risk scenario for these remediation
technologies.
Reductive Dechlorination of Chlorinated Solvents
Microbial degradation of chlorinated solvents has been shown to occur under both anaerobic and aerobic
conditions. Highly chlorinated solvents are in a relatively oxidized state and are hence more readily
degraded under anaerobic conditions than under aerobic conditions (Vogel et al., 1987). In subsurface
environments where oxygen is not always available, reductive dechlorination is one of most important
naturally occurring biotransformation reactions for chlorinated solvents. Microbial reductive dechlori-
nation is a redox reaction that requires the presence of a suitable electron donor to provide electrons for
dechlorination of chlorinated organic (Freedman and Gossett, 1989).
Highly chlorinated solvents, such as tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE), are com-
monly detected in the subsurface. Under anaerobic conditions, PCE is reductively dechlorinated to TCE,
which in turn may be dechlorinated to 1,2-dichloroethylene (cis-l,2-DCE, or trans-1,2-DCE), followed
sequentially by vinyl chloride (VC) and finally ethylene (Freedman and Gossett, 1989) or ethane
(Debruin et al. 1992). Further reductive dechlorination of DCE and VC to CO2 and complete dechlorina-
tion of PCE to CO2 are possible under anaerobic conditions (Bradley and Chapelle, 1996; Bradley and
Chapelle, 1997; Bradley et al., 1998; Cabirol et al., 1998). However, complete dechlorination of PCE is
often not achieved due to slow dechlorination process of its reduced intermediates, cis-1,2-DCE and VC,
resulting the accumulation of these unfavorable intermediates in anaerobic environments. The accum-
ulation of cis-l,2-DCE and VC is of great concern because they are known carcinogens. Such incomplete
dechlorination is commonly observed in fields where reductive dechlorination of PCE and TCE is taking
place (McCarty, 1996).
Reductive dechlorination reactions can be carried out by anaerobic microorganisms via either energy
yielding or cometabolic processes. The energy-yielding process involves the use of chlorinated solvents
as terminal electron acceptors (sometimes referred to as dehalorespiration). Anaerobic cultures that are
capable of using PCE or TCE as terminal electron acceptors include the obligate anaerobes
Dehalospirillum multivorans (Scholz-Muramatsu et al., 1995), Dehalococcoides ethenogenes (Maymo-
Gattel et al., 1997), Desulfitobacterium sp. strain PCE1 (Gerritse et al ., 1996), Desulfitobacterium sp.
strain PCE-S (Miller et al., 1997; Miller et al., 1998), Desulfomonile tiedjei (Fathepure et al., 1987;
DeWeerd et al., 1990), Dehalobacter restrictus (Holliger and Schumacher, 1994; Holliger et al., 1998),
strain TT4B (Krumholz et al., 1996), and the facultative organism strain MS-1 (Sharma and McCarty,
1996). With the exception of Dehalococcoides ethenogenes which dechlorinates PCE to ethene, and
Desulfitobacterium sp. strain PCE1 which dechlorinates PCE to TCE, the end product of PCE dechlo-
rination for all described pure cultures is cis-1,2, DCE. The end products of reductive dechlorination
reactions vary depending on the physiological groups of bacteria involved. In acetogens, methanogens,
AppE all 2
-------
and some other anaerobic bacteria, reductive dechlorination is believed to be mediated by metallo-
coenzymes like the cobalt containing vitamin B12 and related corrinoids, and by the nickel containing
cofactor F430. These metallocoenzymes are present as components of enzymes that catalyze normal
physiological pathways in several anaerobic bacteria, and fortuitously are able to reductively dechlorinate
several chlorinated compounds. Acetogenic and methanogenic bacteria contain high levels of these
metallocoenzymes, the concentrations of which can be strongly dependent on growth substrates (Deikert
et al., 1981; Krzycki and Zeikus, 1980).
The presence of a suitable electron donor, such as hydrogen or reduced organic compounds including
hydrocarbons, natural organic matter, glucose, sucrose, propionate, benzoate, lactate, butyrate, ethanol,
methanol, and acetate have been reported serve as electron donors for reductive dechlorination (Bouwer
and McCarty, 1983; Carr and Hughes, 1998; DiStefano et al., 1992; Fennell and Gossett, 1997; Freedman
and Gossett, 1989; Gibson and Sewell, 1992; Holliger et al., 1993; Lee et al., 1997; Tandoi et al., 1994).
However, since the microbial populations differ from site to site and their responses to substrates vary
greatly, the addition of certain types of electron donors may or may not effectively enhance reductive
dechlorination processes. Both laboratory studies and field observations suggest that the addition of
electron donors for the enhancement of dechlorination can induce complex scenarios that are a function of
the subsurface conditions (Carr and Hughes, 1998; Fennell and Gossett, 1997) and the indigenous micro-
bial population (Gibson and Sewell, 1992). Although it is known that hydrogen serves as the specific
electron donor for reductive dechlorination (Holliger et al., 1993; Holliger and Schumacher, 1994;
Maymo-Gatell et al., 1995), different concentrations of hydrogen stimulate different groups of anaerobic
microbial populations which may or may not be responsible for dechlorination, and may out compete the
halorespirers, making the direct addition of hydrogen problematic. In fact, recent research has indicated
that dechlorinating bacteria possess lower half-velocity coefficients for H2 utilization than methanogens,
suggesting that dechlorinating bacteria should out compete methanogens at low H2 concentrations
(Ballapragada et al., 1997; Smatlak et al., 1996). In short-term microcosm studies, the addition of slow-
release H2 donors butyrate and propionate was found to support complete dechlorination as well as to
enrich PCE-degrading bacteria (Fennell and Gossett, 1997). In contrast, the addition of fast-release H2
donors ethanol, lactate, and acetate did not result in complete dechlorination. However, both ethanol and
lactate did support sustained dechlorination during long-term tests. In some cases, the addition of acetate
and methanol to laboratory microcosms with PCE contaminated soil did not enhance dechlorination
(Gibson and Sewell, 1992). Complex substrates such as molasses and yeast extract have been shown to
result in higher dechlorination levels than simple substrates (Lee et al, 1997; Odem et al., 1995;
Rasmussen et al., 1994). Apparently, the fate of amended electron donors and the dynamic changes of
microbial populations responsible for reductive dechlorination within soils are still not well understood.
Aerobic Degradation of Chlorinated Solvents
Under aerobic conditions, microbial degradation of chlorinated solvents to non-toxic products can occur
by metabolic or cometabolic transformation reactions. DCE and VC have both been shown to be
aerobically degraded in energy-yielding reactions. Recently, several aerobic strains that are capable of
using VC as primary carbon and energy source have been isolated. These aerobic microorganisms
include Mycobacterium sp.(Hartmans and De Bont, 1992), Rhodococcus s/?.(Malachowsky et al., 1994),
Actinomycetales 5/>.(Phelps et al., 1991), and Nitrosomonas sp. (Vanelli et al., 1990). It is suggested that
these VC-utilizers may not play significant roles in contaminated site remediation due to their long
doubling time.
While there have been no reports of aerobic cultures that can oxidize TCE for growth, methanotrophs are
one group of bacteria that can cometabolically oxidize chlorinated solvents such as TCE, DCE, and VC to
carbon dioxide and chloride ions. These organisms utilize methane as their primary carbon and energy
source and produce methane monooxygenase, a key enzyme that is involved in the oxidation of methane.
AppE all 3
-------
The same enzyme can also cometabolically oxidize chlorinated solvents. Typically, the chloroethenes are
initially oxidized to chloroethene epoxides, which in turn decompose into various readily degradable
chlorinated and non-chlorinated acids, alcohols or aldehydes, and carbon monoxide (Oldenhuis et al.,
1989; Strandberg et al., 1989; Tsien et al., 1989; Little et al., 1988; Alvarez-Cohen and McCarty, 1991;
Neuman and Wackett, 1991; Fox et al., 1990; Chang and Alvarez-Cohen, 1996). Anaerobic reductive
dechlorination has also been shown to occur under bulk aerobic conditions dominated by aerobic co-
metabolic biodegradation both in the field and in soil columns (Enzien et al., 1994)
3.0 Scope
Launch Complex 34 at Cape Canaveral Air Station in Florida is the test site for the remediation tech-
nology evaluation study. Separate testing plots will be established for each of the following three
remediation technologies:
1. Six-Phase Heating (SPH)
2. In-Situ Oxidation (OX)
3. Steam Injection (SI)
Soil core samples and groundwater samples at different depths (subsurface layers) from each plot will be
collected and analyzed by microbiology and molecular biology methods before and after remediation
treatment in order to determine the effect of the treatments on the indigenous microbial population.
4.0 Analytical Approach and Justification
Several different microbiology and molecular analysis will be conducted to evaluate the effect of the
remediation technologies used on the microbial community. The following analyses will be conducted:
Total Heterotrophic Counts
Viability Analysis
Coliform and Legionella Analysis
PLFA Analysis
DNA Analysis
At this time, there are no fool-proof, broadly applicable methods for functionally characterizing microbial
communities. The combination of assays we propose will provide a broadly based characterization of the
microbial community by utilizing a crude phylogenetic characterization (PLFA), DNA-based characteri-
zation of community components, and microscopic counts of viable (aerobic and anaerobic) bacteria and
total bacteria. We anticipate that this array of methods that we will help avoid some of the common
pitfalls of environmental microbiology studies generally (Madsen, 1998).
Heterotrophic Counts Analysis. The concentration of culturable bacteria in a subset of samples collected
from each plot at each event will be done using very low carbon availability media such as 0.1% PTYG or
dilute soil-extract media amended with citrate and formate. This has been found to give the best overall
recovery of subsurface bacteria (Balkwill, 1989). These viable counts can be done using either MPN or
plating techniques for both soil and water. These analyses can be done both under aerobic or anaerobic
conditions (Gas-Pak) to provide an estimate of changes in culturable bacteria. This analysis should be
AppE all 4
-------
used more as a check to verify changes in viable biomass changes, community shifts from anaerobic to
aerobic, and direct effects that these remediation technologies may have on the culturability of indigenous
bacteria. These data will help determine if these more conventional microbiological analyses can be used
to monitor the effects of the remediation technologies in future applications.
Viability Analysis. In addition, the proportion of live and dead bacteria in these samples will be deter-
mined using a fluorescence-based assay (Molecular Probes, LIVE/DEADฎ 5acLight Viability Kit).
Since these technologies, especially the thermal ones, may kill bacteria it is important to determine the
proportion of the total bacteria observed are dead and how this proportion is changed by the remediation
technology being tested. Note: dead bacteria will still be visible by direct count, and thus you could have
a total count of 10 billion cells/ml and yet no biological activity because they are all dead.
Coliform andLegionella Analysis. Water samples, collected near the sewage outfall and a few, will be
analyzed for total coliforms. One-two liter samples will be collected specifically for this analysis.
Samples will be shipped to BMI on ice for inventory and sample management. Coliforms are the primary
indicator of human fecal contamination and thus the potential for presence of human pathogens. Since
the site has a long-term sewage outfall at the edge of the test beds and since this environment is generally
warm and contains high levels of nutrients it is possible that human pathogens may have survived and
may be stimulated by the remediation technologies being tested. The coliform analyses of groundwater
samples will verify it pathogens could be present. If initial screening indicates no coliforms than this
sampling can be dropped; however, if coliforms are present it may be necessary to expand this analysis to
determine the extent of their influence and the effect of that the remediation technology is having on
them. Legionella pneumophila is a frank human pathogen that causes legionnaires disease (an often fatal
pneumonia) that is found widely in the environment. It can become a problem in areas that are thermally
altered, eg. nuclear reactor cooling reservoirs, pools, cooling towers, air conditioners, etc. A preliminary
study done at SRS during a demonstration of radio frequency heating suggested that thermal alteration of
the vadose zone could increase the density of legionella in the sediment. Since there is a sewage outfall
nearby, since two of the remediation technologies are thermal, and since the remediation technologies are
extracting VOC from the subsurface it would be prudent to test the subsurface for changes in Legionella
pneumophila. This can be done by using commercially available DNA probes for Legionella
pneumophila and testing both the soil and groundwater samples being analyzed for nucleic acid probes.
This adds very little expense and can be done as part of that analyses, see below.
PLFA/FAME Analysis. Phospholipid ester-linked fatty acids (PLFA) and Fatty Acid Methyl Ester
(FAME) analysis can measure viable biomass, characterize the types of organisms, and determine the
physiological status of the microbial community. Aliquots of each sample (100 g soil and 1-2 L water)
will be shipped to frozen to EPA for analysis. The PLFA method is based on extraction and GC/MS
analysis of "signature" lipid biomarkers from the cell membranes and walls of microorganisms. A profile
of the fatty acids and other lipids is used to determine the characteristics of the microbial community.
Water will be filtered with organic free filters in the field and shipped to EPA frozen. The filter can be
used to extract both nucleic acids for probe analyses and lipids for PLFA/FAME analyses. Depending on
the biomass in the water 1-10 liters will need to be filtered for each sample.
DNA Analysis. DNA probe analysis allow examination of sediment and water samples directly for
community structure, and functional components by determining the frequency and abundance to certain
enzyme systems critical to biogeochemistry and biodegradation potential of that environment. Sediment
samples will be collected aseptically in sleeves and shipped frozen to EPA. These sediment samples will
than be extracted and the DNA analyzed for presence of certain probes for specific genetically elements.
Water samples will be filtered in the field to remove the microbiota and shipped frozen to EPA for
subsequent extraction and probing. The Universal probe 1390 and Bacterial domain probe 338 will help
quantify the DNA extracted from the samples. This information will be useful to determine the portion of
AppE all 5
-------
DNA that is of bacterial origin and the amount of DNA to be used in the analysis of specific bacterial
groups. Transformation of chlorinated ethenes by aerobic methylotrophic bacteria that use the methane
monooxygenase enzyme has been reported (Little et al., 1988). Methanotrophs can be separated into
coherent phylogenetic clusters that share common physiological characteristics (Murrell, 1998) making
the use of 16S rRNA probe technology useful for studying their ecology. Therefore, this study will use
16S rRNA-targeted probes, Ser-987 and RuMP-998, to detect Type II and Type I methanotrophs, respec-
tively. Together, these probes will be used to monitor shifts in methanotroph population numbers that
may result from the application of the oxidation technology. Reductive dechlorination of chlorinated
ethenes has also been reported under anaerobic conditions. Therefore, we propose the use of archaea
domain (Arch-915) and sulfate-reducing specific probes (Dsv-689) to assess microbial communities
involved in reductive dechlorination. The characterization of enzymes capable of reductive dehalogena-
tion such as the dehalogenase of Dehalospirillum multivorans (Neumann et al., 1995) or the PCE
reductive-dehalogenase of Dehalococcoides ethenogenes (Maymo-Gatell et al., 1999) provides promise
for future gene probe design. As these gene probes become available, they will be utilized for this study.
The detection ofLegionella has been improved using a combined approach of PCR primers and
oligonucleotide probe that target the 16S rRNA gene has been reported (Miyamoto et al., 1997; Maiwald
et al., 1998). These PCR primers and probes will be used in this study to assess the effects of steam
injection on members of this species. The following table provides the list of 16S rRNA-targeted probes
that we propose to use in this study.

In addition to hybridization of 16S rRNA gene probes hybridization to DNA extracted by a direct method,
we will also utilize the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) described in Muyzer et al., 1996.
The DGGE method has been used to detect overall shifts in reductively dechlorinating microbial
communities (Flynn et al., 2000). If significant shifts are observed, the DNA bands will be sequenced to
analyzed the genetic diversity of the communities.

5.0 Sample Collection, Transport, and Storage
In each test plot, soil samples of approximately 500-g each (250 g frozen for DNA/PLFA analysis; 250 g
ambient for microbial counts) will be collected using sterile brass core cylinders. Each clinder holds
approximately 250 g of soil. Sterilization of soil sample containers will involve detergent wash, water
wash, heating (100 C), and alcohol wash. Polyethylene caps will not be heated, just sterilized with
alcohol. Sterilization of drilling equipment will involve steam cleaning between samples.
Five borings per test plot will be used to collect aquifer samples at four depths (capillary fringe, upper
sand unit [USU], middle fine grained unit [MFGU], and lower sand unit [LSU]). In addition, ground-
water samples will be collected from two well clusters at three depths per plot (USU, MFGU, and LSU).
Control samples from an unaffected control area will be collected under the same sampling regime. Soil
controls will be collected from five locations, four depths each for consistency with treatment plot
samples. Similarly, groundwater controls will be collected from 2 well clusters, at 3 depths each, if
available.
Samples will be collected at four events for each technology/plot within two phases:
Phase 1 (June'99-Sep'OO)
T<0 month (pretreatment for SPH and OX)
T= 0 months (post treatment; SPH and OX)
T<0 month (pretreatment; SI)
Phase2(Sep'00-Sep'OD
T= 6 months (post-treatment; SPH, OX, and SI)
T= 12 months (post-treatment; SPH )
Tables 1 and 2 show the number of soil and groundwater samples involved. Table 3 shows the sampling
requirements for this evaluation. Immediately after soil samples are retrieved from the borings, the
collection cylinders will be tightly capped and sealed to minimize changes in environmental conditions,
primarily oxygen content, of the samples. This will subsequently minimize adverse effects to the micro-
bial population during sample transport. Samples for DNA/PLFA analysis will be frozen under nitrogen
and shipped via express mail. Samples for microbial counts will be shipped at ambient temperature to an
off-site lab designated by the IDC. Microbiology analysis will be conducted within 24 hours of sample
collection. Approximately 5-10 g aliquots from each sample will be stored at <-60ฐC for molecular
analysis. The study will be conducted over the course of 1.5 years in which two of the three remediation
treatment methods will be demonstrated simultaneously.
Soil and groundwater sample from the region near the historical sewage outfall will be collected and
analyzed as shown in Table 3.
As shown in Table 3, groundwater samples will include unfiltered groundwater (for microbial counts) and
filters (for DNA/PLFA analysis) from filtration of 1 to 4 L of groundwater. Anodisc filters will be
used and filtration apparatus will be autoclaved for 20 minutes between samples.

E.2 Microbiological Evaluation Sampling Procedures
Work Plan for Biological Soil and Groundwater Sampling and Procedure
Battelle
January 4,2001
Soil Sampling
Soil samples are collected at four discrete depths in the subsurface with a 2-inch diameter sample barrel
containing sample sleeves. Once the sample is retrieved, the sleeves are removed from the sample barrel,
capped at both ends, and preserved accordingly. The sleeves are then transported to off-site analytical
laboratories for analyses. Field personnel should change their gloves after each sample to prevent cross-
contamination. The details of the sampling are provided below:
Samplers: The Mostap is 20-inch long with a 1.5-inch diameter and the Macro-core sampler is
about 33-inch long with a 2-inch diameter. Sleeves (brass or stainless steel) are placed in a sample
sampler (Macro-core or Mostap). Brass sleeves with 1.5-inch diameter and 6-inch long are used for
a Cone-Penetrometer (CPT) rig from U.S. EPA. Stainless steel sleeves with 2-inch diameter and 6-inch
long are used with a rig from a contracted drilling company rig.
For Mostap, three of these brass sleeves and one spacer will be placed in the sampler. For the Macro-
Core sampler, five 6-inch long stainless sleeves and one spacer are required. All sleeves and spacers
need to be sterilized and the procedure is as follows.
Procedures: sampling preparation procedures are as follows:
1. Preparation for sterilization:
Dip sleeves in an isopropyl alcohol bath to clean surface inside and outside
Air-dry the sleeves at ambient temperature until they are dried
Wrap up the sleeves with aluminum foil
Place the aluminum foil-wrapped sleeves in an autoclavable bag and keep the bag in a heat-
resistant plastic container
Place the container in an autoclave for 30 minutes at about 140 ฐC
Once the autoclaving is completed, let the sleeves sit until the materials are cool, and then pack
and ship to the field site.
2. In the field, drive the sample barrel down to four different depths: approximately 8 (capillary fringe),
15 (USU below water table), 23 (MFGU), and 45 (LSU) ft below ground surface (bgs). Once the
sample barrel is withdrawn, the sleeves are extruded from the sample barrel. Each sleeve
immediately capped with plastic end caps that have been previously wiped with isopropyl alcohol.
After capping, clear labeling of the sleeve is required including sample site, sample ID, actual depth
of the sample, collection date and time, percentage of recovery in each sleeve, and markings for top
and bottom of the sample sleeves.
Sample Preservation: one of the sleeves is kept at ambient temperature. At least, two of the sleeves
need to be frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately then stored in a freezer at temperature below
freezing point.
13
-------
Off-site Laboratories: The sample sleeve at ambient temperature is to be shipped off to Florida State
University for analyses of live/dead stain test and aerobic and anaerobic heterotrophic counting.
The frozen samples are shipped off to EPA Ada Laboratory, an off-site laboratory for DNA and
Phospholipids Fatty Acid Analyses (PLFA).
3. Decontamination Procedure: after the samples are extruded, the sample barrel used to collect the soil
samples needs to be disassembled and cleaned in Alconoxฎ detergent mixed water. The sample
barrel is then rinsed with tap water, followed by de-ionized (DI) water. The sample barrel is air-dried
and rinsed with isopropyl alcohol before the next sampling.
Groundwater Sampling
Groundwater sampling involves collection of groundwater from performance monitoring wells using a
peristaltic pump and Teflonฎ tubing. During the groundwater sampling, unfiltered water samples will be
collected. Large volume of groundwater will be filtered through in-line filtration unit and the filter will
be retrieved and this filter will be preserved necessarily.
1. Preparation for Sterlization
Dip in-line filter holders in an alcohol bath and air-dry
Wrap each filter unit up in aluminum foil
Place them in an autoclavable bag and keep the bag in a heat resistant container
Autoclave the container with filters for 30 minutes at 140ฐC
Once the autoclaving is completed, let the sleeves sit until the materials are cool, and then
pack and ship to the field site.
2. Materials and Equipments: Non-carbon Anodiscฎ 0.2 \am pore size supported filters, filtration
equipment, a low-flow pump, Teflon tubing and Vitonฎ tubing and a vacuum (or pressure)
pump.
The dimensions of the Anodiscฎ filters are 0.2 micron pore size and 47-mm diameter. The filters are pre-
sterilized by the manufacturer. Each filter is carefully placed inside a filter holder case. A forcep is used
to place a filter in either an in-line polycarbon filter holder or in an off-line filter holder. The filter is very
brittle and should be handled delicately.
3. Filter samples by using an in-line filter holder: An Anodiscฎ filter is wetted with D.I. water and
placed on the influent end of the filter holder. A rubber o-ring is gently placed on the filter
holder. The filter holder is connected to the effluent end of the peristaltic pump with Teflonฎ
tubing and approximately one liter of groundwater is filtered through it. The filter is retrieved
from the filter holder carefully with forceps and placed in a Whirl-Pakฎ. The filter, along with
the bag, is deep frozen under liquid nitrogen and stored in a freezer until shipping.
4. Filter Samples by using an filtration unit: To use this filtration device, a vacuum or pressure
pump is required to pull or push the water through. Influent water from a low-flow peristaltic
pump goes into a funnel-shaped water container. The filter will be retrieved after water filtration
and the filtrated water can be disposed. The filter is frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen and
stored then kept in a freezer.
5. Unfiltered Groundwater Samples: unfiltered groundwater samples are collected into each 500-
mLWhirl-Pakฎ bag. This water sample is kept at ambient temperature.
14
-------
6. Labeling includes sample ID, same date and time, and site ID on the Whirl-Pakฎ after the sample
is placed with a permanent marker.
7. Sterilization of the filter holders may be done as follows:
Clean forceps and filter holder in warm detergent mixed water, then rinse with isopropyl
alcohol and air-dry at room temperature.
The cleaned forceps and filter holders are wrapped in aluminum foil and taped with a piece of
autoclave tape that indicates when the autoclaving is completed.
These items are then placed in an autoclavable bag and the bag is placed in an autoclave for
about 30 minutes at 140 ฐC. After taking them out of the autoclave, the items sit until cool.
8. Off-site laboratories: The unfiltered water samples are shipped off to Florida State University for
aerobic and anaerobic heterotrophic count tests and viability analysis at ambient temperature
within 24 hours. The filter samples are shipped off in dry-ice condition to EPA Ada Lab for
DNA, PLFA, and Legionella analyses.
Sample Locations
Soil Sampling
Five biological sampling locations will be located in each of three plots in January 2001. One duplicate
samples will be collected from one of the five boring locations in each plot (Figure 1). At each location,
soil samples will be collected at four depths (Capillary fringe, USU, MFGU and LSU). Soil sampling
procedures are described in previous sections. Summary of the biological soil sampling is shown in Table
1.

F.I Surface Emissions Testing Methods and Procedures
One of the concerns about the technology as a means of soil and groundwater remediation was the possi-
bility of transferring chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) to the atmosphere through the
ground surface, injection wells, and monitoring wells. Emissions testing was performed to obtain a
qualitative picture of VOC losses to the atmosphere. The sampling and analytical methodologies for the
emissions tests are presented in the following subsections.
F.I.I Dynamic Surface Emissions Sampling Methodology
A dynamic surface emissions sampling method was used at the LC34 site. This method involves enclos-
ing an area of soil under an inert box designed to allow the purging of the enclosure with high-purity air
(Dupont, 1987). The box was purged with high-purity air for two hours to remove any ambient air from
the region above the soil and to allow equilibrium to be established between the VOCs emitted from the
soil and the organic-free air. The airstream was then sampled by drawing a known volume of the
VOC/pure air mixture through a 1-L Summa canister. The Summa canister captured any organics
associated with surface emissions from the test plot. Emissions samples also were collected in the same
manner near the drainage ditch in order to monitor organic concentrations in the infiltration gallery (see
Figure F-l). Additionally, ambient air samples were collected using Summa canisters held at shoulder
height for use as a reference of the existing air quality. The Summa canisters were then shipped to the off-
site laboratory with a completed chain-of-custody form. The off-site laboratory quantified the organic
concentrations in the Summa canisters according to EPA method TO-14 (EPA, 1989) or TO-14A (EPA,
1999).
A schematic diagram of the surface emissions sampling system is shown as Figure F-2. The system
consists of a stainless steel box that covers a surface area of approximately 0.5 m2. The box was fitted
with inlet and outlet ports for the entry and exit of high-purity air, which is supplied via a gas cylinder.
Inside the box was a manifold that delivered the air supply uniformly across the soil surface. The same
type of manifold was also fitted to the exit port of the box. The configuration was designed to deliver an
even flow of air across the entire soil surface under the box so that a representative sample was generated.
To collect the sample, the air exiting the box was pulled by vacuum into the Summa canister.
In all testing cases, a totally inert system was employed. Teflon tubing and stainless steel fittings were
used to ensure that there was no contribution to or removal of organics from the air stream. The Summa
canister was located on the backside of the emissions box so that it would not be in a position to reverse
the flow of air inside the box. The box was cleaned between each sample by rinsing with methanol and
deionized water prior to purging with high-purity air for two hours.
F.1.2 Sampling Schedule
Multiple surface emissions sampling locations were selected in and around the steam injection plot for the
technology demonstration (see Figure F-l). During the predemonstration phase sampling event, emissions
samples were collected from inside the plot boundaries (samples SI-SE-33 through -35). After plenum
was installed over the plot to minimize surface emissions during the demonstration, emissions sampling
was limited to the perimeter of the steam injection plot. Two emissions sampling events were held dur-
ing the active technology demonstration phase (samples SI-SE-1 through -15). After the demonstration,
the plenum was removed and one emissions sampling event was held during the postdemonstration per-
iod, where emissions samples were collected inside the plot boundaries (samples SI-SE-16 through -19).

In addition to these monitoring activities, emissions samples were collected in areas outside the DNAPL
boundary during the predemonstration phase (samples DW-SE-36 through -38), the active technology
demonstration phase (samples DW-SE-40 through -45), and the postdemonstration phase (samples DW-
SE-47 and -48). During the first sampling event of the active technology demonstration phase, emissions
samples were collected near the infiltration gallery to monitor the organic vapor concentration of the
discharge water (samples SI-SE-7 and -8). Ambient air samples were collected as reference samples
during the pre- and postdemonstration sampling events (samples DW-SE-39 and -46). Table F-l contains
a summary of the sample identifications and sampling dates of the surface emissions samples taken
during the steam injection demonstration.

F.1.3 Analytical Results
The analytical results from the surface emissions sampling at LC34 are presented in Table F-l. Samples
were analyzed for TCE concentrations in vapor. The data is represented temporally, reflecting the four
sampling events at the site. The data indicates that TCE surface emissions were relatively low prior to
beginning the technology demonstration. The samples taken in August 2001 during steam injection
showed a general increase in TCE emissions, in particular on the west and east sides of the plot (samples
SI-SE-1 through -6). The samples taken in November 2001 during the steam injection demonstration
exhibited a significant decrease in TCE emissions on the north and east sides of the plot (samples SI-SE-7
through -12), and were relatively consistent with TCE concentrations in the ambient air sample taken at
the same time (sample DW-SE-39). The data from the western edge of the plot during the November
2001 sampling event showed only minor decreases in TCE emissions (samples SI-SE-13 through -15),
suggesting that TCE vapors were escaping around the edges of the plenum.

(a) A Summa canister was held at shoulder level to collect an ambient air sample representative of the
local air quality.
Surface emission samples collected in the plot during the postdemonstration period (samples SI-SE-16
through -19) after the plenum was removed exhibited a strong increase in TCE vapor concentrations.
Figure F-3 displays the temperature of ground-water in the shallow wells and the locations of the post-
demonstration surface emissions samples. The increase in vapor TCE concentrations suggests that the
residual hot temperatures of the subsurface continued to enhance TCE volatilization to the atmosphere
after the technology demonstration ended.

Appendix G.I Investigating VOC Losses During Postdemonstration Soil Core Recovery
and Soil Sampling
Field procedures for collecting soil cores and soil samples from the steam injection plot were modified in
an effort to minimize VOC losses that can occur when sampling soil at elevated temperatures (Battelle,
2001). The primary modifications included: (1) additional personnel safety equipment, such as thermal-
insulated gloves for core handling; (2) the addition of a cooling period to bring the soil cores to approx-
imately 20ฐC before collecting samples; and (3) capping the core ends while the cores were cooling.
Concerns were raised about the possibility that increased handling times during soil coring, soil cooling,
and sample collection may result in an increase in VOC losses. An experiment was conducted using soil
samples spiked with a surrogate compound to investigate the effectiveness of the field procedures devel-
oped for LC34 in minimizing VOC losses.
Materials and Methods
Soil cores were collected in a 2-inch diameter, 4-foot long acetate sleeve that was placed tightly inside a
2-inch diameter stainless steel core barrel. The acetate sleeve was immediately capped on both ends with
a protective polymer covering. The sleeve was placed in an ice bath to cool the heated core to below
ambient groundwater temperatures (approximately 20ฐC). The temperature of the soil core was monitored
during the cooling process with a meat thermometer that was pushed into one end cap (see Figure G-l).
Approximately 30 minutes was required to cool each 4-foot long, 2-inch diameter soil core from 50-95ฐC
to below 20ฐC (see Figure G-2). Upon reaching ambient temperature, the core sleeve was then uncapped
and cut open along its length to collect the soil sample for contaminant analysis (see Figure G-3).

FIGURE G-3. A soil sample being collected from along the length of the core into a bottle
containing methanol.
Soil samples were collected in relatively large quantities (approximately 200 g) along the entire length of
the core rather than sampling small aliquots of the soil within the core, as required by the conventional
method (EPA SW5035). This modification is advantageous because the resultant data provide an
understanding of the continuous VOC distribution with depth. VOC losses during sampling were further
minimized by placing the recovered soil samples directly into bottles containing methanol (approximately
250 mL) and extracting them on site. The extracted methanol was centrifuged and sent to an off-site
laboratory for VOC analysis. The soil sampling and extraction strategy is described in more detail in
Gavaskaretal. (2000).
To evaluate the efficiency of the sampling method in recovering VOCs, hot soil cores were extracted
from 14 through 24 feet below ground surface and spiked with a surrogate compound, 1,1,1-trichloro-
ethane (1,1,1-TCA). The surrogate was added to the intact soil core by using a 6" needle to inject 25 |iL
of surrogate into each end of the core for a total of 50 |iL of 1,1,1-TCA. In order to evaluate the effect of
the cooling period on VOC loss, three soil cores were spiked with TCA prior to cooling in the ice bath
and three cores were spiked with TCA after cooling in the ice bath. In the pre-cooling test, the surrogate
was injected as described above and the core barrels were subsequently capped and placed in the ice bath
for the 30 minutes of cooling time required to bring the soil core to below 20ฐC. A thermometer was
inserted through the cap to monitor the temperature of the soil core.
In the post-cooling test, the soil cores were injected with TCA after the soil core had been cooled in the
ice bath to below 20ฐC. After cooling, the caps on the core barrel were removed and the surrogate com-
pound was injected in the same manner, 25 |iL per each end of the core barrel using a 6" syringe. The
core was recapped and allowed to equilibrate for a few minutes before it was opened and samples were
collected. Only for the purpose of the surrogate recovery tests, the entire contents of the sampling sleeve
were collected and extracted on site with methanol. The soil:methanol ratio was kept approximately the
same as during the regular soil sample collection and extraction. Several (four) aliquots of soil and several
(four) bottles of methanol were required to extract the entire contents of the sample sleeve.
Two different capping methods were used during this experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of each cap
type. Two of the soil cores were capped using flexible polymer sheets attached to the sleeve with rubber
G-2
-------
bands. The remaining four soil cores were capped with tight-fitting rigid polymer end caps. One reason
that the polymer sheets were preferred over the rigid caps was that the flexible sheets were better
positioned to handle any contraction of the sleeve during cooling.
Results
The results from the surrogate spiking experiment are shown in Table G-l. Soil cores 1, 3, and 5 received
the surrogate spike prior to cooling in the ice bath. Soil cores 2, 4, and 6 received the surrogate spike after
cooling in the ice bath. The results show that between 84 and 113% of the surrogate spike was recovered
from the soil cores. Recovery comparison is not expected to be influenced significantly by soil type
because all samples were collected from a fine grained to medium fine-grained sand unit. The results also
indicate that the timing of the surrogate spike (i.e., pre- or post-cooling) appeared to have only a slight
effect on the amount of surrogate recovered. Slightly less surrogate was recovered from the soil cores
spiked prior to cooling. This implies that any losses of TCA in the soil samples spiked prior to cooling are
minimal and acceptable, within the limitations of the field sampling protocol. The field sampling protocol
was designed to process up to 300 soil samples that were collected over a 3-week period, during each
monitoring event.

The capping method (flexible versus rigid cap) did not show any clear differences in the surrogate recov-
eries. The flexible sheets are easier to use and appear to be sufficient to ensure good target compound
recovery.
This experiment demonstrates that the soil core handling procedures developed for use at LC34 were
successful in minimizing volatility losses associated with the extreme temperatures of the soil cores. It
also shows that collecting and extracting larger aliquots of soil in the field is a good way of characterizing
DNAPL source zones.

Appendix H
Economic Analysis Information
This appendix details the cost assessment for the application of the pump and treat (P&T) system for
containment of a DNAPL source at Launch Complex 34, for a source zone that is the same size as the
Steam Plot. Because the groundwater flow in this area is generally to the northeast, the DNAPL source
could be contained by installing one or more extraction wells on the northeast side of the Steam Plot. The
life cycle cost of a pump-and-treat system can be compared to the cost of DNAPL source removal using
chemical oxidation, as described in Section 7 of the main report.
Experience at previous sites indicates that the most efficient long-term P&T system is one that is operated
at the minimum rate necessary to contain a plume or source zone (Cherry et al., 1996). Table H-l shows
a preliminary size determination for the P&T system. The P&T system should be capable of capturing the
groundwater flowing through a cross-section that is approximately 50 ft wide (width of Steam Plot) and
40 ft deep (thickness of surficial aquifer). Because capture with P&T systems is somewhat inefficient in
that cleaner water from surrounding parts of the aquifer may also be drawn in, an additional safety factor
of 100% was applied to ensure that any uncertainties in aquifer capture zone or DNAPL source character-
ization are accounted for. An extraction rate of 2 gallon per minute (gpm) is found to be sufficient to
contain the source.
One advantage of low groundwater extraction rates is that the air effluent from stripping often does not
have to be treated, as the rate of volatile organic compound (VOC) discharge to the ambient air is often
within regulatory limits. The longer period of operation required (at a low withdrawal rate) is more than
offset by higher efficiency (lower influx of clean water from outside the plume), lower initial capital
investment (smaller treatment system), and lower annual operations and maintenance (O&M) require-
ments. Another advantage of a containment type P&T system is that, unlike source removal technologies,
it does not require very extensive DNAPL zone characterization.
H.I.I Capital Investment for the P&T System
The P&T system designed for this application consists of the components shown in Table H-2. Pneu-
matically driven pulse pumps, which are used in each well, are safer than electrical pumps in the presence
of trichloroethylene (TCE) vapors in the wells. This type of pump can sustain low flowrates during con-
tinuous operation. Stainless steel and Teflon construction ensure compatibility with the high concen-
trations (up to 1,100 mg/L TCE) of dissolved solvent and any free-phase DNAPL that may be expected.
Extraction wells are assumed to be 40 ft deep, 2 inches in diameter, and have stainless steel screens with
poly vinyl chloride (PVC) risers.
The aboveground treatment system consists of a DNAPL separator and air stripper. Very little free-phase
solvent is expected and the separator may be disconnected after the first year of operation, if desired. The
air stripper used is a low-profile tray-type air stripper. As opposed to conventional packed towers, low-
profile strippers have a smaller footprint, much smaller height, and can handle large airwater ratios
(higher mass transfer rate of contaminants) without generating significant pressure losses. Because of
their small size and easy installation, they are more often used in groundwater remediation. The capacity
of the air stripper selected is much higher than 2 gpm, so that additional flow (or additional extraction
wells) can be handled if required.
The high airwater ratio ensures that TCE (and other minor volatile components) are removed to the
desired levels. The treated water effluent from the air stripper is discharged to the sewer. The air effluent
is treated with a catalytic oxidation unit before discharge.
H-l
-------
The piping from the wells to the air stripper is run through a 1-ft-deep covered trench. The air stripper
and other associated equipment are housed on a 20-ft x 20-ft concrete pad, covered by a basic shelter.
The base will provide a power drop (through a pole transformer) and a licensed electrician will be used
for the power hookups. Meters and control valves are strategically placed to control water and air flow
through the system.
The existing monitoring system at the site will have to be supplemented with seven long-screen (10-foot
screen) monitoring wells. The objective of these wells is to ensure that the desired containment is being
achieved.
H.1.2 Annual Cost of the P&T System
The annual costs of P&T are shown in Table H-3 and include annual operation and maintenance (O&M)
and monitoring. Annual O&M costs include the labor, materials, energy, and waste disposal cost of
operating the system and routine maintenance (including scheduled replacement of seals, gaskets, and
O-rings). Routine monitoring of the stripper influent and effluent is done through ports on the feed and
effluent lines on a monthly basis. Groundwater monitoring is conducted on a quarterly basis through
seven monitoring wells. All water samples are analyzed for PCE and other chlorinated volatile organic
compound (CVOC) by-products.
H.1.3 Periodic Maintenance Cost
In addition to the routine maintenance described above, periodic maintenance will be required, as shown
in Table H-3, to replace worn-out equipment. Based on manufacturers' recommendations for the respec-
tive equipment, replacement is done once in 5 or 10 years. In general, all equipment involving moving
parts is assumed will be replaced once every 5 years, whereas other equipment is changed every 10 years.
H.1.4 Present Value (PV) Cost of P&T
Because a P&T system is operated for the long term, a 30-year period of operation is assumed for estimat-
ing cost. Because capital investment, annual costs, and periodic maintenance costs occur at different
points in time, a life cycle analysis or present value analysis is conducted to estimate the long-term cost of
P&T in today's dollars. This life cycle analysis approach is recommended for long-term remediation
applications by the guidance provided in the Federal Technologies Roundtable's Guide to Documenting
and Managing Cost and Performance Information for Remediation Projects (United States Environ-
mental Protection Agency [U.S. EPA], 1998). The PV cost can then be compared with the cost of faster
(DNAPL source reduction) remedies.

,., . 1T Annual Cost in Year 1 Annual Cost in Year n .
P VP&T costs = Capital Investment H --- 1 -- (Equation H-2)
1 (l + r)n
Table 4 shows the PV calculation for P&T based on Equation 1. In Equation 1, each year's cost is
divided by a discount factor that reflects the rate of return that is foregone by incurring the cost. As seen
in Equation 2, at time t = 0, which is in the present, the cost incurred is the initial capital investment in
equipment and labor to design, procure, and build the P&T system. Every year after that, a cost is
incurred to operate and maintain the P&T system. A real rate of return (or discount rate), r, of 2.9% is
used in the analysis as per recent U.S. EPA guidance on discount rates (U.S. EPA, 1999). The total PV
H-2
-------
cost of purchasing, installing, and operating a 1-gpm P&T source containment system for 30 years is
estimated to be $1,406,000 (rounded to the nearest thousand).
Long-term remediation costs are typically estimated for 30-year periods as mentioned above. Although
the DNAPL source may persist for a much longer time, the contribution of costs incurred in later years to
the PV cost of the P&T system is not very significant and the total 30-year cost is indicative of the total
cost incurred for this application. This can be seen from the fact that in Years 28, 29, and 30, the
differences in cumulative PV cost are not as significant as the difference in, say, Years 2, 3, and 4. The
implication is that, due to the effect of discounting, costs that can be postponed to later years have a lower
impact than costs that are incurred in the present.
As an illustration of a DNAPL source that may last much longer than the 30-year period of calculation,
Figure H-l shows a graphic representation of PV costs assuming that the same P&T system is operated
for 100 years instead of 30 years. The PV cost curve flattens with each passing year. The total PV cost
after 100 years is estimated at $2,188,000.
