“…4) was slower than that of three-ring PAHs. This agreed with results obtained by Park et al (1990) showing that the biodégradation rates of PAHs is as follows: two-ring > threering > four-ring PAHs. After 45 weeks of incubation without SDS, nearly 95% of the fluoranthene and pyrene was biodegraded compared to 90% for benzo [a]anthracene.…”

The mobilization and biodégradation of 13 PAHs sorbed in a creosote-contaminated soil were assessed in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). In a mobilization experiment, the soil was mixed with SDS solutions (0.005 to 1 % w/v) and the PAH concentrations in the aqueous phase were determined. In a biodégradation experiment, soil residual PAH concentrations were monitored during 45 weeks in the presence of 10, 100 and 500 mg kg" 1 SDS. The SDS was effective in mobilizing three-and four-ring PAHs. Increasing SDS concentration resulted in the mobilization of very low water-soluble five-and six-ring PAHs. The SDS (100 and~ 500 mg kg 4 ) significantly decreased the biodégradation of fluorene, phenanthrene and all of the four-ring PAHs. PAHs with more than four rings were not biodegraded. The surfactant [a 14 C]SDS was readily biodegraded. Even if SDS may be efficient in mobilizing PAHs in soil pore water or groundwater, it will not improve PAH biodégradation. Such a result must be considered when using anionic surfactants in the perspective of biological treatment of PAHs. Effet d'un agent tensio-actif anionique sur la mobilisation et la biodégradation de HAP présents dans un sol contaminé par la créosoteRésumé La mobilisation et la biodégradation de 13 HAP adsorbés sur un sol contaminé par la créosote ont été étudiées en présence de dodecyl sulphate de sodium (DSS). Pour la mobilisation, le sol a été mélangé avec des solutions de DSS (0.005 à 1 % p/v) et la concentration des HAP a été mesurée en phase aqueuse. Pour la biodégradation, les concentrations résiduelles de HAP dans le sol ont été mesurées durant 45 semaines en présence de 10,

“…Numerous laboratory and field studies have shown that hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria can participate in the degradation of many of the chemical components of fuels under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions (e.g., Jobson et al, 1972;Perry, 1977;Atlas, 1981Atlas, , 1984Atlas, , 1988Gibson, 1984;Reinhard et al, 1984;Young, 1984;Bartha, 1986;Wilson et al, 1986Wilson et al, , 1987Wilson et al, , 1990Baedecker et al, 1988;Lee, 1988;Chiang et al, 1989;Grbic-Galic, 1989Leahy and Colwell, 1990;Parker et al, 1990;Stieber et al, 1990;Altenschmidt and Fuchs, 1991;Alvarez and Vogel, 1991;Baedecker and Cozzarelli, 1991;Bauman, 1991;Borden, 1991;Brown and McFarland, 1991;Haag et al, 1991;Hutchins and Wilson, 1991;Beller et al, 1992;Bouwer, 1992;Edwards and Grbic-Galic, 1992;Thierrin et al, 1992;Malone et al, 1993;Davis et al, 1994).

A comprehensive site investigation addressing soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment contaminated with fuel hydrocarbons at the Motor Gasoline (MOGAS) Storage Area, Myrtle Beach Air Force Base (AFB), South Carolina, was conducted by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES). Field work was conducted to complete the corrective action plan (CAP) presented in this report in support of a riskbased remediation decision for the MOGAS site. Characterization field efforts for this investigation were conducted from January through September 1995. Selected source reduction technologies were field-tested at the MOGAS site from November 1995 to January 1996 to determine the effectiveness of these remedial techniques in treating site-related contamination.The risk-based remediation demonstration at the MOGAS site is sponsored by the United States (US) Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) at Brooks AFB, Texas under contract F41624-93-C-8044, and is a component of a multi-site AFCEE initiative. The purpose of this initiative is to demonstrate how quantitative fate and transport calculations and risk evaluation, based on site-specific data, can be integrated. Consequently, this integration allows for rapid determination of the type and magnitude of corrective action required at a site to minimize contaminant migration, receptor exposure, and subsequent risks to the potential receptors. Riskbased remediation is designed to combine natural physical, chemical, and biological processes with low-cost source reduction technologies such as in situ bioventing, as necessary, to economically reduce potential risks to human health and the environment posed by subsurface petroleum fuel spills.The MOGAS site is located in the northwestern quadrant of the Base. Three 5,000-gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) were used to store gasoline at the site, and one 5,000-gallon UST was used for diesel fuel storage. The USTs were removed in 1993. Historical releases from at least two of these tanks have contaminated soil and groundwater with fuel hydrocarbons. Contaminated groundwater discharges to a manmade drainage ditch along the southern edge of the MOGAS site, resulting in surface water and sediment contamination. Free product was observed on the groundwater surface in the 1980s; however measurable free product has not been observed in site monitoring wells during the 1990s.The CAP for the MOGAS site follows South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC, 1995) guidance for implementing risk-based corrective actions in the state. The guidance outlines a tiered approach for establishing corrective action requirements at specific sites. The tiered approach is based on an evaluation of potentially completed receptor exposure pathways from contaminated site media under both current and future land use scenarios.One objective of the CAP is to document any potential current risks to human health and the environment (i.e., ecological receptors) due to exposure to chemical 022/725522/7.WW6ES-1 cont...
