SITE HISTORY
Acceptance into the Florida State cleanup program, was the driver for remedial action at this petroleum contaminated (gasoline) site in Northwest Florida. The dense clay nature of the subsurface lithology rendered conventional remedial methods (sparge and vent, dual phase extraction, etc.) ineffective. When excavation reached the vertical limits of the equipment and stained soils and OVA sampling indicated remaining contamination, an in-situ chemical oxidation process the Cool-Ox® Process, a Technology based upon the controlled production of hydrogen peroxide in-situ, was selected to complete site remediation. After one application, post treatment results revealed that the cumulative total BTEX concentrations were reduced by 82%. Based on the results of the first application, a second application was approved and conducted. The current cumulative total BTEX concentrations have been reduced by 95%, over a 7-year monitoring period.

The blue area on the site map depicts the extent of the groundwater contaminant plume prior to the first ISCO injection. Groundwater samples collected after the injection events revealed that the contaminant plume had shrunk.
CURRENT STATUS
Because of the significant reductions in contaminant concentrations, the site was placed in Post Remedial Action Monitoring Status pending determination of natural attenuation activity.
