Abstract

A tanker truck overturned releasing about 11,350 l of aviation fuel. As two municipal supply wells were within about 396 m of the release, contaminated soil was excavated and an assessment of hydrologic conditions was completed. A recovery well (RW) and five monitoring wells were installed. Ground-water samples were collected periodically from these wells and the municipal supply wells for analysis for volatile organic compounds. Pumping tests were completed on the RW and one municipal supply well. The results of the pumping test on the RWs were used to design a remediation system to remove jet fuel components from the ground water. The pumping tests also demonstrated that there was a ground-water divide separating the spill site from the municipal supply wells. After about 7 months of remediation, samples from the RW and municipal supply wells were clean and the state issued a clean closure.
