PRE-FINAL DESIGN FOR FORMER PROCESS AREA IN-SITU GEOCHEMICAL STABILIZATION REMEDIATION, FORMER CABOT CARBON/KOPPERS INC. SITE, GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA
Alachua County Environmental Protection Department, Florida. 844 pp, 2015

This report documents the successful implementation of a pilot test to remediate subsurface DNAPLs (creosote) at the former Koppers Inc. portion of the Cabot Carbon/Koppers Superfund Site in Gainesville, Florida. Included with this report is the proposed design and implementation of the full-scale in situ geochemical stabilization (ISGS) treatment of the former Process Area. The ISGS remediation technology consists of a permanganate-based reagent (RemOx® EC) that is injected into DNAPL-impacted zones. Section 2.0 of this report presents the ISGS pilot-test implementation approach and results. Section 3.0 describes the Pre-Final Design for full-scale ISGS implementation in the former Process Area. https://clu-in.org/download/contaminantfocus/dnapl/treatment_technologies/KoppersFL-isgsdesign-2015.pdf -- See also the plan to field-test an organoclay amendment to the ISGS injectant: https://clu-in.org/download/contaminantfocus/dnapl/treatment_technologies/KoppersFL-organoclay-ISGS-2015.pdf
