GROUNDWATER REMEDIATION STARTUP REPORT, SITE MONITORING & PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORT, REVISION 1.0: CHEMICAL INJECTIONS & ATTENUATION MONITORING, 2ND & KIRBY SITE, HUTCHINSON, KANSAS
Kansas Department of Health & Environment (KDHE), Topeka. 235 pp, 2015

A truck transportation facility has been operated at the 2nd & Kirby intersection since the 1950s. Dissolved-phase TCE and related contaminants have been found in the site groundwater. The site contractor used direct-push injections to introduce emulsified vegetable oil (EVO) to provide the electron donor needed to produce the reducing and anaerobic conditions that stimulate contaminant biodegradation. A total of ~9,000 gal of EVO-water solution (900 gal EVO product, specifically SRS®-FRL) was injected throughout the course of the project. The presence of cDCE as a degradation product of TCE indicates some degree of ongoing reductive dechlorination. This report details the specific measures applied to accelerate the chemical and biological degradation of TCE in the site groundwater. http://kensas.kdhe.state.ks.us/berisl/getDocument.kdhe_ber;documentId=20000000E6_0VC30K9NT3L5
