  • Soil excavation was performed followed by ISCO/aerobic bioremediation.
  • 899 tons of petroleum impacted soil was excavated and landfilled along with 14,500 gallons of impacted groundwater.
  • Long term groundwater treatment was accomplished by blending 600 pounds of an ISCO/oxygen release agent (calcium peroxide) into the base of the excavation.
  • Calcium peroxide was selected to provide a slow release of hydrogen peroxide for hydroxyl radical creation followed by a slow release of oxygen for long-term aerobic stimulation.
  • Total cost was <$165,000.
