PURPOSE

The Remedial Program Managers (RPM) for the Comprehensive Environmental Responsibility, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) actions are responsible for identifying, investigating and defining sources of contamination, designing, constructing, and operating remedial action systems located at the Federal Aviation Administration William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC). Existing WJHTC resources are either technically not equipped for this effort or are inadequate to meet the demands for supporting the CERCLA program requirements.

The CERCLA RPM utilizes the services of various contractors to support the accomplishment of this mission. The identification, investigation, delineation of contamination, and the design of remedial action systems are performed by an environmental architect and engineering firm under separate contract. The Environmental Remediation Support Services (ERSS) is replacing the current Environmental Task Order Contract (ETOC), which is required to provide the necessary resources to the WJHTC, in the form of operation and maintenance, remedial action system construction, and geographic information system support. New remedial action construction projects will be awarded as separate task orders.

1.5. Description of Areas of Concern (AOCs)

The following sections provide a brief history of the FAA’s current active remediation. Additional information for each AOC is located in the current USEPA Five-Year Review (APPENDIX C). Treatment system diagrams have been included in APPENDIX D.

1.5.1. Area D – Jet Fuel Farm

Area D is the site of a former Jet Fuel Farm for the storage of aviation fuel (JP-4). Before 1972, fuel was stored in two 567,000-gallon underground storage tanks (UST). In the mid-1970’s the fuel was stored in two 420,000- gallon bermed above-ground storage tanks (AST). The use of the ASTs was discontinued in 1994, and the USTs were abandoned in place in 2000. A surface spill of jet fuel (approximately 25,000 gallons) occurred in 1982. The Phase I and II site investigations were conducted in 1988 and 1989, respectively. Field investigations have identified several separate petroleum hydrocarbon sources associated with the ASTs, USTs, or former fuel farm activities. Separate phase floating hydrocarbon true product thickness was estimated to be between three (3) and five (5) feet, but observed product thickness has been as thick as 15 feet. Elevated levels of total xylenes (benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, and total xylenes) have been observed both in the groundwater and in the soil. In September 1989, a Record of Decision (ROD) was issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for Area D. The remedy selected by the ROD included free-phase product (jet fuel) extraction and off-site disposal, soil venting, and groundwater extraction and treatment and injection with in situ bioremediation.

To expedite the remediation of Area D, the FAA commenced operation of a Thermal Conductive Heating (TCH) system in March 2019. The TCH system is being operated to treat free-phase product, soil contamination, and groundwater contamination. The TCH system remedial action is a multi-phase project and is expected to be completed and removed from service in December 2021. The TCH remedial action contractor is responsible for the TCH system up to the point that the effluent enters the CTP and associated treatment components (e.g., Building 293 - CATOX Building and Building 294B Manifold Building). The TCH remedial action contractor is responsible for decommissioning of the TCH system. Any LTM requirements to be performed by the ERSS contractor will be evaluated upon completion of the TCH remedial action and if required will be funded through the SURGE CLIN.

1.5.2. Area B – Navy Fire Test Facility

Area B is located on the New Jersey Air National Guard side of the Technical Center and along the South Branch of Absecon Creek. The Area B site was historically used as a fire training facility during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. By 1965, the area had been graded over. A portion of the site was later used for General Services Administration (GSA) motor pool parking, but that operation has ceased. Past activities have impacted the groundwater with chlorinated solvents. In 1996, a ROD was issued by the USEPA for Area B. The remedy selected by the ROD included air sparging with on-site vapor treatment, if necessary. As a result of additional pre-design studies, the FAA implemented contingency remedies documented in the ROD, including the following components:

a. Installation of additional monitoring wells;

b. Continued groundwater and surface water monitoring;

c. Installation and operation of product/groundwater extraction wells;

d. Physical separation of product and off-site transport for incineration;

e. Groundwater treatment;

f. Discharge of treated water back into the groundwater; and

1.5.3. Area 41 – AVGas Fuel Farm and Photo Lab

Area 41 is also located on the New Jersey Air National Guard side of the Technical Center. Area 41 consists of a former aviation gasoline (AVGas) fuel farm, a photographic laboratory, and historic impoundment area. The fuel farm consisted of three (3) 50,000-gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) and two (2) 100,000-gallon USTs, all of which were installed in the mid-1940’s. Closure of the USTs in accordance with New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulations was completed in November 1999. In 2000, a ROD was issued by the USEPA for Area 41. The remedy selected by the ROD included:

a. Excavation of approximately 450 cubic yards of PCB-contaminated soil and sediment from two drainage ditches and transport off-site for disposal at a licensed facility;

b. Excavation of approximately one (1) cubic yard of soil from a former UST sump outlet contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons and transport off-site for disposal at a licensed facility, provide the soil was not removed during tank closure activities;

c. Backfilling of a man-made depression area and associated drainage ditch with clean soils;

d. Excavation of free petroleum product present on the water table in both a former impoundment area and the fuel farm area and transport off-site for incineration at a licensed facility;

e. Extraction of contaminated groundwater in the former impoundment and fuel farms areas with on-site treatment using carbon adsorption and filtration; treated groundwater will be recharged to the subsurface in the vicinity of the site with the possible partial discharge of treated groundwater to the sanitary sewer.;

f. Establishment of land use restrictions to prevent residential use of the site; and

1.5.4. Area E – Building 11 Tank Excavation Area

Area E is also located on the New Jersey Air National Guard side of the Technical Center. Area E is the site of a former heating plant and wooden structures, reported to be barracks. The heating plant and a 20,000-gallon UST that stored No. 6 fuel oil for heating operations were removed in 1985 and the fuel was found to have leaked from the tank, impacting subsurface soil and groundwater. The barracks and other wooden structures were removed at the same time as the heating plant, and soils and groundwater were found to be impacted with petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and metals. In 2003, a ROD was issued by the USEPA for Area E. The remedy selected by the ROD included:

a. Free product extraction and off-site treatment;

b. Excavation of petroleum-contaminated soils which exceed New Jersey non-residential direct contact soil clean-up criteria and off-site beneficial reuse or off-site disposal;

c. Excavation of pesticide-contaminated surface soils which exceed New Jersey non-residential direct contact soil clean-up criteria and off-site disposal;

d. Groundwater extraction;

e. On-site groundwater treatment using filtration and carbon adsorption, if necessary;

f. Reinjection of treated groundwater;

g. Extraction well installation and continued groundwater monitoring;

1.5.5. Area 20A – Salvage Yard

Area 20A is located on the west side of Pangborn Road in the Technical Center’s Research and Development Area at the Atlantic City International Airport in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Past activities at Area 20A (Salvage Yard) have resulted in contamination of soil and ground water by Chlorinated Volatile Organic Compounds (CVOCs). In 1990, a ROD was issued by the USEPA for Area 20A. The remedy selected by the ROD included:

a) Excavation of approximately 930 cubic yards of soil and transport off-site for incineration at a permitted rotary kiln; and

b) Air stripping of organic compounds in the groundwater.

3.3.1.5. Process and Testing Chemicals

The OMC must supply the following products, equipment, chemicals, supplies, and other necessary items as part of the O&M costs for the two (2) remediation systems.

3.3.1.5.1. Treatment Process and Chemicals

Organoclay Filter

There are three layers of protection to mitigate the introduction of free phase product from Area D into the CTP process stream. The first level of protection is the product sensors present in the groundwater extraction wells. The second level of protection is the transducer located well above the extraction pump intact. The organoclay filtration system provides a third level of protection. The filtration system is located in Building 294. Continuous pre-treatment with organoclay filtration system is required to protect the CTP process stream from the introduction of free phase product during the operation of the TCH system. To eliminate the downtime of the TCH system for media change out, two 5,000 lb vessels were plumbed in series with two additional 5,000 lb vessels onsite as backups. Each unit is capable of operating at a flow rate of 142 gallons per minute (gpm) and a maximum operating pressure of 75 psi. The vessels are plumbed with flexible hoses to facilitate quick connection of the backup vessels when a change out is required. Upon the switch out of the initial two vessels, two media in the used vessels are changed out. The original 7,500-pound organoclay vessel remains offline in Building 294. The ERSS contractor shall perform backwashing of the organoclay units to reduce differential pressures across the units; organoclay media is changed out when backwashing does not reduce the differential pressures.

The media is to be a blend of bentonite and anthracite treated with quaternary amine. The media removes emulsified oil and grease and large molecular chlorinated hydrocarbons. The organoclay vessel filters only influent extracted from Area D. Historical change outs average four (4) change outs per year by a licensed subcontractor. An annual waste characterization sample is required for disposal purposes. If required as part of system operation, organoclay filter media change outs will be covered under the SURGE CLIN.

Filter Press:

Operation of the filter press is necessary when the sludge tank has accumulated a sufficient amount of sludge. If and when necessary, provide a material in granular form that mixes directly with water and can be easily fed into the filter press inlet and approved for this application. The use of precoat, specifically the material and application rate must be approved by the COR. Precoat is currently not utilized for filter press operation due to minimal iron levels in the influent stream.
