1 Evaluating the Petroleum Vapor Intrusion Pathway Studies of Natural Attenuation of Subsurface Petroleum Hydrocarbons & Recommended Screening Criteria NEIWPCC Webinar on Petroleum Vapor Intrusion June 26, :30 am-2:00 pm MDT by Robin V. Davis, P.G. Project Manager Utah Department of Environmental Quality Leaking Underground Storage Tanks
2 Slide provided by Tom McHugh, 2012
3 OBJECTIVES Understand why there are so many petroleum LUST sites yet petroleum vapor intrusion (PVI) is very rare Use Screening Criteria to exclude low-risk sites from PVI pathway SCOPE Build Petroleum Vapor Database from field studies Soil type, depth to GW, LNAPL presence, contaminant source concentrations Show mechanisms & characteristics of petroleum hydrocarbon vapor biodegradation
4 Petroleum Vapor Database Compilation of concurrent source strength & soil vapor data ~170 Sites ~1000 measurements Canada United States 56/304 2/13 Australia 112/608 Perth Sydney MAP KEY # Geographic Locations (sites) Evaluated # Paired concurrent measurements of benzene subsurface soil vapor & source strength Tasmania
5 Characterize Site Gas Station Building Define full extent & degree of soil & GW contamination Construct Conceptual Site Model UST system High vapor concentrations from LNAPL Clean soil Low vapor concentrations from dissolved source Contaminated soil & LNAPL Dissolved contamination
6 Case Study 1 Tesoro #40 Salt Lake City, Utah Apartments Contamination from dispensers & USTs Very high concentrations of contaminant source in soil & GW <5 feet below apartment building foundation Vapors are biodegraded & fully attenuated within few feet of clean soil overlying the source PVI pathway is not complete
7 Case Study 1: Front View of Apartments 35 feet wide x 65 feet long=2275 feet 2 Apartment slab 3 feet bgs

13 Case Study 2 Ogden Mini Mart, Ogden, Utah Gasoline LNAPL directly beneath building slab, PVI reported by building occupants, mitigation implemented immediately LNAPL
14 Results of Field & Published Studies Clean soil contains sufficient oxygen needed to biodegrade vapors (aerobic) A few feet of clean soil provides a natural barrier to PVI No reported cases of PVI from lowstrength sources Causes of PVI are predictable & wellunderstood
15 Causes of Petroleum Vapor Intrusion 1 High-strength source (LNAPL, high dissolved/adsorbed) in direct contact with building BUILDING 4 Preferential pathway allows vapors to enter building Unsaturated Soil LNAPL LNAPL 3 Sump draws LNAPL/high dissolved into building Affected GW Groundwater-Bearing Unit LNAPL 2 LNAPL/high dissolved in close proximity to building
16 The Science of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Biodegradation & Vapor Attenuation
17 Aerobic Biodegradation and Oxygen Mass Balance Petroleum Hydrocarbon C6H O2 Aerobic Bacteria 6CO2 + 3H2O Aerobic bacteria use oxygen to degrade the hydrocarbon for the carbon. The waste product is carbon dioxide and water
18 Conceptual Model of Aerobic Petroleum Vapor Biodegradation Aerobic biodegradation is a robust & rapid process a) LNAPL SOURCE UNSATURATED ZONE high mass flux CAPILLARY ZONE O 2 VOCs sharp reaction front Clean/uncontaminated soil is sufficiently aerobic to biodegrade & attenuate vapors 8 feet for LNAPL 5 feet for dissolved SATURATED ZONE b) DISSOLVED-PHASE SOURCE UNSATURATED ZONE limited mass flux CAPILLARY ZONE SATURATED ZONE constituent distributions O 2 VOCs constituent distributions sharp reaction front Lahvis, Hers, Davis, Wright, DeVaull (2012, in process)
19 Signature Characteristics of Aerobic Biodegradation Typical O2, CO2, PHC vapor profiles as petroleum vapors are naturally biodegraded & attenuated with sufficient thickness of clean vadose zone soil
20 Non-Attenuation of Vapors due to Lack of Clean Overlying Soil Conneaut, OH VMP-1 (Roggemans, 1998; Roggemans et al., 2001) AF Subsurface 7E-01 Bio-AF=7E-01 Oxygen Carbon Dioxide Benzene O2 & CO2 (% V/V) Contaminated Soil zone E+00 1.E+02 1.E+04 1.E+06 1.E+08 Benzene (ug/m3)

No attenuation within contaminated zone Depth, feet bgs Shallow points confirm attenuation above contaminated zone E E E E E E E E+09 SV Concentration, ug/m3 SV Concentration, ug/m3
22 Comparison of Field Data to Models that Account for Biodegradation & Vapor Attenuation - Abreu & Johnson Numerical Model (Abreu & Johnson) - BioVapor Analytical Model (DeVaull & McHugh)
23 Numerical Model Effect of Oxygen-Driven Biodegradation & Magnitude of Subsurface Attenuation of Benzene Vapors Beneath Buildings Benzene Vapors Oxygen Atmospheric Oxygen diffuses downward Low source strength Medium source strength High source strength Hydrocarbon vapors diffuse upward Depth below grade (meters) Horizontal Distance from Building Center (meters)
