AOC E - Former UST Site 2016

Aerial Photo of AOC E

 

AOC E is located within the former public works area on West Vieques. The former 550-gallon underground storage tank (UST) was installed in 1970 to store waste oil generated from vehicle maintenance activities at Building 2016. The tank and piping were removed in 1996. A Multi-phase Vacuum Extraction (MPE) Pilot Study at AOC E in 2002 removed fuel-related chemicals from the groundwater, but a small amount of free phase petroleum product remained. A second Pilot Study began in January 2010 that that includes in situ chemical oxidation injection followed by enhanced in situ bioremediation for groundwater contaminants and nitrate injection for soil contaminants that may pose a continuing concern for leaching into groundwater.

Past Investigations and Actions

  • UST Removal Report (1997)
  • UST Site Characterization (1999)

  • Expanded Preliminary Assessment/Site Investigation (2000)
  • Remedial Investigation (2008)
  • Multi-phase Vacuum Extraction Pilot Study (2002)
  • Pilot Study Sampling and Analysis Plan (February 2010)

Current Site Status

  • Pilot Study for treating soil and groundwater is expected to take approximately 2 to 3 years to complete.

Current Land Use

  • Municipality of Vieques
