A groundwater pump and treat system operated at a site for over three years and pumped over 1,200,000 gallons of groundwater. Approximately 6 and 23 equivalent gallons of benzene and TPH-GRO, respectively, were removed by pump and treat during this three year period. A sheen of separate phase product existed on the top of the water table, which existed at 5 to 7 feet below ground surface. A single 8 hour EFR® event was conducted at the site at a cost of $2,863, during which a calculated 33 equivalent gallons of gasoline (233 pounds of vapor phase petroleum hydrocarbons) were removed. The client reported that a >90% reduction in dissolved phase TPH-GRO (i.e. from 25-30 ppm to 2 ppm) and dissolved phase benzene (i.e. from 2,000-3,000 ppb to ~200 ppb) was achieved.

A single eight hour EFR® event was conducted at a petroleum UST site that had historically contained about 2 inches of free phase product. The product was removed after the single event, at a cost of less than $3,500, and the site is expected to be "closed out" after going to a site specific (dissolved phase) standard. (efwill)

Eleven 8-hour EFR® events were conducted at an active gasoline station during a three year period.

A total of $23,911 was expended for the nine EFR® events. (T2279)

Groundwater existed at a depth of 75 feet below surface at a site where 0.34 feet of free product existed. Two 8 hour events were conducted (at an approximate cost of $4,800) after which the free product was successfully removed. The site went to a site specific standard and is currently in the "monitoring only" phase prior to site closure. (ensafe-summer)

EcoVac Services conducted two EFR® events at an active retail gasoline dispensing facility during a three month period. Free floating product existed in six monitor wells (ranging from a sheen to >1 feet). A sheen (i.e. <0.01 feet) existed in only two monitor wells following these two EFR® events.

The EFR® process was suggested by state regulators to be implemented at an active service station. A maximum of 0.20 feet of free product existed in six monitor wells at this site.

Five EFR® events were conducted during a two year time period, which successfully removed minor amounts of gasoline/diesel free product from three monitor wells. Dissolved phase TPH was also reduced from 350 ppm to 57 ppm in the primary extraction well. A site specific (dissolved phase) standard is being sought by the client to transition the site into "monitoring only" status. (hess-owen)

0.25 feet of gasoline was present in a single monitor well. The product was removed after a single EFR® event.

Total cleanup cost was $2,921. (bull4)
