10 INTRODUCTION

This report presents the findings for the Phase ni operation of the Vacuum Enhanced Recovery (VER) system at the Central Maine Power (CMP) O Connor Superfund site The VER system was operated between August 20 2001 and October 10 2001 The VER system was operated in an effort to recover as much residual oil as possible from the subsurface soils and bedrock prior to pursuing a Technical Impracticability (TI) waiver for the site

11 SITE DESCRIPTION The OConnor Site is located along US Route 17 near the eastern boundary of the city limits of Augusta Maine as depicted on Figure 1 Previous salvage and transformer recycling activities by the F OConnor Company at the Site led to uncontrolled releases of oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and volatile organic compounds The source area prior to remediation activities completed in 1997 covered approximately nine acres within the 23-acre Site and was situated on the crest of a low ridge aligned parallel to the west branch of Riggs Brook The source area was primarily located surrounding Transformer Work Area Two (TWA-H)

12 VER OPERATION BACKGROUND VER technology involves applying a vacuum to the subsurface through a well in an attempt to draw residual oil into the well where it can be collected and removed The vacuum system induces a pressure gradient in the soils and bedrock fractures and causes water and residual product to flow towards the well The vacuum is used to create the gradient so that water will not be drawn down into the deep portion of the bedrock aquifer The vacuum pressure dissipates as it migrates through the soil and rock The actual radius of influence depends on the geology and the amount of applied vacuum

It is believed that the presence of oil in the subsurface soils and particularly bedrock at the Site is due in part to a pilot-scale aquifer test performed in 1992 This test was performed on OW-202B After two days of pumping approximately 15 feet of oil was measured in the well Wells OW-301B and OW shy302B contained 11 feet and 35 feet respectively To address the removal of subsurface oils CMP implemented a VER system

The VER has been previously applied at the site to remove residual oils from the subsurface overburden soils In the Fall of 1996 prior to the source control excavation VER Phase I was initiated and included installation of an extraction well (RW-101) installed in the tillbedrock interface and two injection wells Phase I was operated as a pilot to determine the feasibility of the VER system After a successful pilot the system was operated during Phase II for five (5) months (January through May 1997) A total of 28 gallons of oil were recovered during the first two phases Phases I and n focused on the tillbedrock interface for oil removal VER Phase HI system operation was initiated to address the removal of oil in both the bedrock and subsurface soils

The VER Phase III system was proposed for the four bedrock wells OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B and the VER recovery well (RW-101) located in TWA II (Figure 2) in an attempt to capture and collect as much residual oil in the bedrock and overburden as possible prior to proceeding with the TI request The TI waiver request is based upon historic groundwater quality data that shows contaminants are not migrating in the groundwater and contamination levels are not increasing PCBs have not been detected in any Management of Migration (MOM) monitoring wells since the spring of 1996 The groundwater data from the site indicates contaminants have stagnated in the tillbedrock migration pathway A detailed history of MOM Investigations and remedial actions is included in the Comprehensive Evaluation dated 1997

20 VER SYSTEM METHODOLGY

This section presents the purpose and methodology for Phase in operation of the VER system The VER system was operated at the O Connor Site as described in the Long-Term Groundwater Quality Monitoring Program and Phase HI Vacuum Enhanced Recovery of Oil Work Plan submitted to the USEPA and MEDEP in July of 2001

21 PURPOSE

The purpose of the VER Phase HI program was to collect as much residual oil from the subsurface soils and bedrock as practical Low quantities of oil have been recovered from the bedrock wells in TWA n since Source Control with no enhancement to the gradient around the well The VER system operation created a pressure gradient towards the well to enhance the flow of oil towards the well The advantage of this extraction technology is that a considerable gradient towards the well can be developed without significant water table draw down

22 SYSTEM OPERATION

A vacuum was applied to each of the four bedrock wells in TWA II (OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 The VER system was operated on one well at a time The operation of the VER system used components of the original VER system to the greatest extent possible The five wells were monitored daily for oil and water table elevation during operation of the VER

The top of the well to which the vacuum was to be applied was sealed and equipped with a vacuum line and vacuum gauge The vacuum pressure was set by opening and closing an air valve close to the suction of the liquid ring vacuum pump used with the original VER system The seal water for the liquid ring pump was recirculated using a small (-15 gallons) seal water reservoir The volume of oil recovered was expected to be low with thickness of oil on the order of tenths of a foot Due to the expected low recovery volumes absorbent socks rather than product recovery pumps were predominately used On two (2) occasions a bailer was used to remove oil when larger amounts of oil were found in the well

The length of time that the VER system was operated at each of the four bedrock wells (OW-202B OWshy204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 was dependent upon observations made in the field The VER system was installed on one well operated on that well and oil flow into the well and other wells in the former TWA n area was measured After the test was completed at a well the VER system was moved to another well within the former TWA n area and the test was initiated again including monitoring for oil at each of the other wells This procedure was followed at each of the five wells At the end of each well test a table was generated that detailed the results of the test A preliminary trip report was also sent by CMP to both the USEPA and the MEDEP via electronic mail This allowed all interested parties to stay up to date with the VER system results The testing was moved to each of the five wells in the circuit until as much residual oil as practical was withdrawn by the VER system

32 DISCUSSION

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver

10 INTRODUCTION

This report presents the findings for the Phase ni operation of the Vacuum Enhanced Recovery (VER) system at the Central Maine Power (CMP) O Connor Superfund site The VER system was operated between August 20 2001 and October 10 2001 The VER system was operated in an effort to recover as much residual oil as possible from the subsurface soils and bedrock prior to pursuing a Technical Impracticability (TI) waiver for the site

11 SITE DESCRIPTION The OConnor Site is located along US Route 17 near the eastern boundary of the city limits of Augusta Maine as depicted on Figure 1 Previous salvage and transformer recycling activities by the F OConnor Company at the Site led to uncontrolled releases of oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and volatile organic compounds The source area prior to remediation activities completed in 1997 covered approximately nine acres within the 23-acre Site and was situated on the crest of a low ridge aligned parallel to the west branch of Riggs Brook The source area was primarily located surrounding Transformer Work Area Two (TWA-H)

12 VER OPERATION BACKGROUND VER technology involves applying a vacuum to the subsurface through a well in an attempt to draw residual oil into the well where it can be collected and removed The vacuum system induces a pressure gradient in the soils and bedrock fractures and causes water and residual product to flow towards the well The vacuum is used to create the gradient so that water will not be drawn down into the deep portion of the bedrock aquifer The vacuum pressure dissipates as it migrates through the soil and rock The actual radius of influence depends on the geology and the amount of applied vacuum

It is believed that the presence of oil in the subsurface soils and particularly bedrock at the Site is due in part to a pilot-scale aquifer test performed in 1992 This test was performed on OW-202B After two days of pumping approximately 15 feet of oil was measured in the well Wells OW-301B and OW shy302B contained 11 feet and 35 feet respectively To address the removal of subsurface oils CMP implemented a VER system

The VER has been previously applied at the site to remove residual oils from the subsurface overburden soils In the Fall of 1996 prior to the source control excavation VER Phase I was initiated and included installation of an extraction well (RW-101) installed in the tillbedrock interface and two injection wells Phase I was operated as a pilot to determine the feasibility of the VER system After a successful pilot the system was operated during Phase II for five (5) months (January through May 1997) A total of 28 gallons of oil were recovered during the first two phases Phases I and n focused on the tillbedrock interface for oil removal VER Phase HI system operation was initiated to address the removal of oil in both the bedrock and subsurface soils

The VER Phase III system was proposed for the four bedrock wells OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B and the VER recovery well (RW-101) located in TWA II (Figure 2) in an attempt to capture and collect as much residual oil in the bedrock and overburden as possible prior to proceeding with the TI request The TI waiver request is based upon historic groundwater quality data that shows contaminants are not migrating in the groundwater and contamination levels are not increasing PCBs have not been detected in any Management of Migration (MOM) monitoring wells since the spring of 1996 The groundwater data from the site indicates contaminants have stagnated in the tillbedrock migration pathway A detailed history of MOM Investigations and remedial actions is included in the Comprehensive Evaluation dated 1997

20 VER SYSTEM METHODOLGY

This section presents the purpose and methodology for Phase in operation of the VER system The VER system was operated at the O Connor Site as described in the Long-Term Groundwater Quality Monitoring Program and Phase HI Vacuum Enhanced Recovery of Oil Work Plan submitted to the USEPA and MEDEP in July of 2001

21 PURPOSE

The purpose of the VER Phase HI program was to collect as much residual oil from the subsurface soils and bedrock as practical Low quantities of oil have been recovered from the bedrock wells in TWA n since Source Control with no enhancement to the gradient around the well The VER system operation created a pressure gradient towards the well to enhance the flow of oil towards the well The advantage of this extraction technology is that a considerable gradient towards the well can be developed without significant water table draw down

22 SYSTEM OPERATION

A vacuum was applied to each of the four bedrock wells in TWA II (OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 The VER system was operated on one well at a time The operation of the VER system used components of the original VER system to the greatest extent possible The five wells were monitored daily for oil and water table elevation during operation of the VER

The top of the well to which the vacuum was to be applied was sealed and equipped with a vacuum line and vacuum gauge The vacuum pressure was set by opening and closing an air valve close to the suction of the liquid ring vacuum pump used with the original VER system The seal water for the liquid ring pump was recirculated using a small (-15 gallons) seal water reservoir The volume of oil recovered was expected to be low with thickness of oil on the order of tenths of a foot Due to the expected low recovery volumes absorbent socks rather than product recovery pumps were predominately used On two (2) occasions a bailer was used to remove oil when larger amounts of oil were found in the well

The length of time that the VER system was operated at each of the four bedrock wells (OW-202B OWshy204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 was dependent upon observations made in the field The VER system was installed on one well operated on that well and oil flow into the well and other wells in the former TWA n area was measured After the test was completed at a well the VER system was moved to another well within the former TWA n area and the test was initiated again including monitoring for oil at each of the other wells This procedure was followed at each of the five wells At the end of each well test a table was generated that detailed the results of the test A preliminary trip report was also sent by CMP to both the USEPA and the MEDEP via electronic mail This allowed all interested parties to stay up to date with the VER system results The testing was moved to each of the five wells in the circuit until as much residual oil as practical was withdrawn by the VER system

32 DISCUSSION

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver

10 INTRODUCTION

This report presents the findings for the Phase ni operation of the Vacuum Enhanced Recovery (VER) system at the Central Maine Power (CMP) O Connor Superfund site The VER system was operated between August 20 2001 and October 10 2001 The VER system was operated in an effort to recover as much residual oil as possible from the subsurface soils and bedrock prior to pursuing a Technical Impracticability (TI) waiver for the site

11 SITE DESCRIPTION The OConnor Site is located along US Route 17 near the eastern boundary of the city limits of Augusta Maine as depicted on Figure 1 Previous salvage and transformer recycling activities by the F OConnor Company at the Site led to uncontrolled releases of oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and volatile organic compounds The source area prior to remediation activities completed in 1997 covered approximately nine acres within the 23-acre Site and was situated on the crest of a low ridge aligned parallel to the west branch of Riggs Brook The source area was primarily located surrounding Transformer Work Area Two (TWA-H)

12 VER OPERATION BACKGROUND VER technology involves applying a vacuum to the subsurface through a well in an attempt to draw residual oil into the well where it can be collected and removed The vacuum system induces a pressure gradient in the soils and bedrock fractures and causes water and residual product to flow towards the well The vacuum is used to create the gradient so that water will not be drawn down into the deep portion of the bedrock aquifer The vacuum pressure dissipates as it migrates through the soil and rock The actual radius of influence depends on the geology and the amount of applied vacuum

It is believed that the presence of oil in the subsurface soils and particularly bedrock at the Site is due in part to a pilot-scale aquifer test performed in 1992 This test was performed on OW-202B After two days of pumping approximately 15 feet of oil was measured in the well Wells OW-301B and OW shy302B contained 11 feet and 35 feet respectively To address the removal of subsurface oils CMP implemented a VER system

The VER has been previously applied at the site to remove residual oils from the subsurface overburden soils In the Fall of 1996 prior to the source control excavation VER Phase I was initiated and included installation of an extraction well (RW-101) installed in the tillbedrock interface and two injection wells Phase I was operated as a pilot to determine the feasibility of the VER system After a successful pilot the system was operated during Phase II for five (5) months (January through May 1997) A total of 28 gallons of oil were recovered during the first two phases Phases I and n focused on the tillbedrock interface for oil removal VER Phase HI system operation was initiated to address the removal of oil in both the bedrock and subsurface soils

The VER Phase III system was proposed for the four bedrock wells OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B and the VER recovery well (RW-101) located in TWA II (Figure 2) in an attempt to capture and collect as much residual oil in the bedrock and overburden as possible prior to proceeding with the TI request The TI waiver request is based upon historic groundwater quality data that shows contaminants are not migrating in the groundwater and contamination levels are not increasing PCBs have not been detected in any Management of Migration (MOM) monitoring wells since the spring of 1996 The groundwater data from the site indicates contaminants have stagnated in the tillbedrock migration pathway A detailed history of MOM Investigations and remedial actions is included in the Comprehensive Evaluation dated 1997

20 VER SYSTEM METHODOLGY

This section presents the purpose and methodology for Phase in operation of the VER system The VER system was operated at the O Connor Site as described in the Long-Term Groundwater Quality Monitoring Program and Phase HI Vacuum Enhanced Recovery of Oil Work Plan submitted to the USEPA and MEDEP in July of 2001

21 PURPOSE

The purpose of the VER Phase HI program was to collect as much residual oil from the subsurface soils and bedrock as practical Low quantities of oil have been recovered from the bedrock wells in TWA n since Source Control with no enhancement to the gradient around the well The VER system operation created a pressure gradient towards the well to enhance the flow of oil towards the well The advantage of this extraction technology is that a considerable gradient towards the well can be developed without significant water table draw down

22 SYSTEM OPERATION

A vacuum was applied to each of the four bedrock wells in TWA II (OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 The VER system was operated on one well at a time The operation of the VER system used components of the original VER system to the greatest extent possible The five wells were monitored daily for oil and water table elevation during operation of the VER

The top of the well to which the vacuum was to be applied was sealed and equipped with a vacuum line and vacuum gauge The vacuum pressure was set by opening and closing an air valve close to the suction of the liquid ring vacuum pump used with the original VER system The seal water for the liquid ring pump was recirculated using a small (-15 gallons) seal water reservoir The volume of oil recovered was expected to be low with thickness of oil on the order of tenths of a foot Due to the expected low recovery volumes absorbent socks rather than product recovery pumps were predominately used On two (2) occasions a bailer was used to remove oil when larger amounts of oil were found in the well

The length of time that the VER system was operated at each of the four bedrock wells (OW-202B OWshy204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 was dependent upon observations made in the field The VER system was installed on one well operated on that well and oil flow into the well and other wells in the former TWA n area was measured After the test was completed at a well the VER system was moved to another well within the former TWA n area and the test was initiated again including monitoring for oil at each of the other wells This procedure was followed at each of the five wells At the end of each well test a table was generated that detailed the results of the test A preliminary trip report was also sent by CMP to both the USEPA and the MEDEP via electronic mail This allowed all interested parties to stay up to date with the VER system results The testing was moved to each of the five wells in the circuit until as much residual oil as practical was withdrawn by the VER system

32 DISCUSSION

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver

Page 4: DRAFT VER PHASE III REPORT. - semspub.epa.gov · 2.0. VE SYSTERM METHODOLGY This section present thse purpose and methodology for Phase in operation of the VER system Th. e VER ...

10 INTRODUCTION

This report presents the findings for the Phase ni operation of the Vacuum Enhanced Recovery (VER) system at the Central Maine Power (CMP) O Connor Superfund site The VER system was operated between August 20 2001 and October 10 2001 The VER system was operated in an effort to recover as much residual oil as possible from the subsurface soils and bedrock prior to pursuing a Technical Impracticability (TI) waiver for the site

11 SITE DESCRIPTION The OConnor Site is located along US Route 17 near the eastern boundary of the city limits of Augusta Maine as depicted on Figure 1 Previous salvage and transformer recycling activities by the F OConnor Company at the Site led to uncontrolled releases of oil containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and volatile organic compounds The source area prior to remediation activities completed in 1997 covered approximately nine acres within the 23-acre Site and was situated on the crest of a low ridge aligned parallel to the west branch of Riggs Brook The source area was primarily located surrounding Transformer Work Area Two (TWA-H)

12 VER OPERATION BACKGROUND VER technology involves applying a vacuum to the subsurface through a well in an attempt to draw residual oil into the well where it can be collected and removed The vacuum system induces a pressure gradient in the soils and bedrock fractures and causes water and residual product to flow towards the well The vacuum is used to create the gradient so that water will not be drawn down into the deep portion of the bedrock aquifer The vacuum pressure dissipates as it migrates through the soil and rock The actual radius of influence depends on the geology and the amount of applied vacuum

It is believed that the presence of oil in the subsurface soils and particularly bedrock at the Site is due in part to a pilot-scale aquifer test performed in 1992 This test was performed on OW-202B After two days of pumping approximately 15 feet of oil was measured in the well Wells OW-301B and OW shy302B contained 11 feet and 35 feet respectively To address the removal of subsurface oils CMP implemented a VER system

The VER has been previously applied at the site to remove residual oils from the subsurface overburden soils In the Fall of 1996 prior to the source control excavation VER Phase I was initiated and included installation of an extraction well (RW-101) installed in the tillbedrock interface and two injection wells Phase I was operated as a pilot to determine the feasibility of the VER system After a successful pilot the system was operated during Phase II for five (5) months (January through May 1997) A total of 28 gallons of oil were recovered during the first two phases Phases I and n focused on the tillbedrock interface for oil removal VER Phase HI system operation was initiated to address the removal of oil in both the bedrock and subsurface soils

The VER Phase III system was proposed for the four bedrock wells OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B and the VER recovery well (RW-101) located in TWA II (Figure 2) in an attempt to capture and collect as much residual oil in the bedrock and overburden as possible prior to proceeding with the TI request The TI waiver request is based upon historic groundwater quality data that shows contaminants are not migrating in the groundwater and contamination levels are not increasing PCBs have not been detected in any Management of Migration (MOM) monitoring wells since the spring of 1996 The groundwater data from the site indicates contaminants have stagnated in the tillbedrock migration pathway A detailed history of MOM Investigations and remedial actions is included in the Comprehensive Evaluation dated 1997

20 VER SYSTEM METHODOLGY

This section presents the purpose and methodology for Phase in operation of the VER system The VER system was operated at the O Connor Site as described in the Long-Term Groundwater Quality Monitoring Program and Phase HI Vacuum Enhanced Recovery of Oil Work Plan submitted to the USEPA and MEDEP in July of 2001

21 PURPOSE

The purpose of the VER Phase HI program was to collect as much residual oil from the subsurface soils and bedrock as practical Low quantities of oil have been recovered from the bedrock wells in TWA n since Source Control with no enhancement to the gradient around the well The VER system operation created a pressure gradient towards the well to enhance the flow of oil towards the well The advantage of this extraction technology is that a considerable gradient towards the well can be developed without significant water table draw down

22 SYSTEM OPERATION

A vacuum was applied to each of the four bedrock wells in TWA II (OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 The VER system was operated on one well at a time The operation of the VER system used components of the original VER system to the greatest extent possible The five wells were monitored daily for oil and water table elevation during operation of the VER

The top of the well to which the vacuum was to be applied was sealed and equipped with a vacuum line and vacuum gauge The vacuum pressure was set by opening and closing an air valve close to the suction of the liquid ring vacuum pump used with the original VER system The seal water for the liquid ring pump was recirculated using a small (-15 gallons) seal water reservoir The volume of oil recovered was expected to be low with thickness of oil on the order of tenths of a foot Due to the expected low recovery volumes absorbent socks rather than product recovery pumps were predominately used On two (2) occasions a bailer was used to remove oil when larger amounts of oil were found in the well

The length of time that the VER system was operated at each of the four bedrock wells (OW-202B OWshy204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 was dependent upon observations made in the field The VER system was installed on one well operated on that well and oil flow into the well and other wells in the former TWA n area was measured After the test was completed at a well the VER system was moved to another well within the former TWA n area and the test was initiated again including monitoring for oil at each of the other wells This procedure was followed at each of the five wells At the end of each well test a table was generated that detailed the results of the test A preliminary trip report was also sent by CMP to both the USEPA and the MEDEP via electronic mail This allowed all interested parties to stay up to date with the VER system results The testing was moved to each of the five wells in the circuit until as much residual oil as practical was withdrawn by the VER system

32 DISCUSSION

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver

The VER Phase III system was proposed for the four bedrock wells OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B and the VER recovery well (RW-101) located in TWA II (Figure 2) in an attempt to capture and collect as much residual oil in the bedrock and overburden as possible prior to proceeding with the TI request The TI waiver request is based upon historic groundwater quality data that shows contaminants are not migrating in the groundwater and contamination levels are not increasing PCBs have not been detected in any Management of Migration (MOM) monitoring wells since the spring of 1996 The groundwater data from the site indicates contaminants have stagnated in the tillbedrock migration pathway A detailed history of MOM Investigations and remedial actions is included in the Comprehensive Evaluation dated 1997

20 VER SYSTEM METHODOLGY

This section presents the purpose and methodology for Phase in operation of the VER system The VER system was operated at the O Connor Site as described in the Long-Term Groundwater Quality Monitoring Program and Phase HI Vacuum Enhanced Recovery of Oil Work Plan submitted to the USEPA and MEDEP in July of 2001

21 PURPOSE

The purpose of the VER Phase HI program was to collect as much residual oil from the subsurface soils and bedrock as practical Low quantities of oil have been recovered from the bedrock wells in TWA n since Source Control with no enhancement to the gradient around the well The VER system operation created a pressure gradient towards the well to enhance the flow of oil towards the well The advantage of this extraction technology is that a considerable gradient towards the well can be developed without significant water table draw down

22 SYSTEM OPERATION

A vacuum was applied to each of the four bedrock wells in TWA II (OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 The VER system was operated on one well at a time The operation of the VER system used components of the original VER system to the greatest extent possible The five wells were monitored daily for oil and water table elevation during operation of the VER

The top of the well to which the vacuum was to be applied was sealed and equipped with a vacuum line and vacuum gauge The vacuum pressure was set by opening and closing an air valve close to the suction of the liquid ring vacuum pump used with the original VER system The seal water for the liquid ring pump was recirculated using a small (-15 gallons) seal water reservoir The volume of oil recovered was expected to be low with thickness of oil on the order of tenths of a foot Due to the expected low recovery volumes absorbent socks rather than product recovery pumps were predominately used On two (2) occasions a bailer was used to remove oil when larger amounts of oil were found in the well

The length of time that the VER system was operated at each of the four bedrock wells (OW-202B OWshy204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 was dependent upon observations made in the field The VER system was installed on one well operated on that well and oil flow into the well and other wells in the former TWA n area was measured After the test was completed at a well the VER system was moved to another well within the former TWA n area and the test was initiated again including monitoring for oil at each of the other wells This procedure was followed at each of the five wells At the end of each well test a table was generated that detailed the results of the test A preliminary trip report was also sent by CMP to both the USEPA and the MEDEP via electronic mail This allowed all interested parties to stay up to date with the VER system results The testing was moved to each of the five wells in the circuit until as much residual oil as practical was withdrawn by the VER system

An itemized list of the procedure followed at each well was is presented below

1 Measure initial water levels and residual oil thickness in subject and adjacent wells 2 If necessary remove accumulated oil 3 Place suction cap apparatus on top of well and ensure that hose clamp was tight 4 Ensure liquid ring seal water reservoir had adequate water 5 Start VER pump 6 Set vacuum pressure utilizing air valve and adjacent vacuum gauge 7 Check suction cap apparatus for leaks 8 Allow operation of system for allotted time (variable based on observations) 9 Return to site measureremove recovered oil and 10 Move to next well in sequence Repeat procedures above

32 DISCUSSION

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver

Page 6: DRAFT VER PHASE III REPORT. - semspub.epa.gov · 2.0. VE SYSTERM METHODOLGY This section present thse purpose and methodology for Phase in operation of the VER system Th. e VER ...

The VER Phase III system was proposed for the four bedrock wells OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B and the VER recovery well (RW-101) located in TWA II (Figure 2) in an attempt to capture and collect as much residual oil in the bedrock and overburden as possible prior to proceeding with the TI request The TI waiver request is based upon historic groundwater quality data that shows contaminants are not migrating in the groundwater and contamination levels are not increasing PCBs have not been detected in any Management of Migration (MOM) monitoring wells since the spring of 1996 The groundwater data from the site indicates contaminants have stagnated in the tillbedrock migration pathway A detailed history of MOM Investigations and remedial actions is included in the Comprehensive Evaluation dated 1997

20 VER SYSTEM METHODOLGY

This section presents the purpose and methodology for Phase in operation of the VER system The VER system was operated at the O Connor Site as described in the Long-Term Groundwater Quality Monitoring Program and Phase HI Vacuum Enhanced Recovery of Oil Work Plan submitted to the USEPA and MEDEP in July of 2001

21 PURPOSE

The purpose of the VER Phase HI program was to collect as much residual oil from the subsurface soils and bedrock as practical Low quantities of oil have been recovered from the bedrock wells in TWA n since Source Control with no enhancement to the gradient around the well The VER system operation created a pressure gradient towards the well to enhance the flow of oil towards the well The advantage of this extraction technology is that a considerable gradient towards the well can be developed without significant water table draw down

22 SYSTEM OPERATION

A vacuum was applied to each of the four bedrock wells in TWA II (OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 The VER system was operated on one well at a time The operation of the VER system used components of the original VER system to the greatest extent possible The five wells were monitored daily for oil and water table elevation during operation of the VER

The top of the well to which the vacuum was to be applied was sealed and equipped with a vacuum line and vacuum gauge The vacuum pressure was set by opening and closing an air valve close to the suction of the liquid ring vacuum pump used with the original VER system The seal water for the liquid ring pump was recirculated using a small (-15 gallons) seal water reservoir The volume of oil recovered was expected to be low with thickness of oil on the order of tenths of a foot Due to the expected low recovery volumes absorbent socks rather than product recovery pumps were predominately used On two (2) occasions a bailer was used to remove oil when larger amounts of oil were found in the well

The length of time that the VER system was operated at each of the four bedrock wells (OW-202B OWshy204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 was dependent upon observations made in the field The VER system was installed on one well operated on that well and oil flow into the well and other wells in the former TWA n area was measured After the test was completed at a well the VER system was moved to another well within the former TWA n area and the test was initiated again including monitoring for oil at each of the other wells This procedure was followed at each of the five wells At the end of each well test a table was generated that detailed the results of the test A preliminary trip report was also sent by CMP to both the USEPA and the MEDEP via electronic mail This allowed all interested parties to stay up to date with the VER system results The testing was moved to each of the five wells in the circuit until as much residual oil as practical was withdrawn by the VER system

An itemized list of the procedure followed at each well was is presented below

1 Measure initial water levels and residual oil thickness in subject and adjacent wells 2 If necessary remove accumulated oil 3 Place suction cap apparatus on top of well and ensure that hose clamp was tight 4 Ensure liquid ring seal water reservoir had adequate water 5 Start VER pump 6 Set vacuum pressure utilizing air valve and adjacent vacuum gauge 7 Check suction cap apparatus for leaks 8 Allow operation of system for allotted time (variable based on observations) 9 Return to site measureremove recovered oil and 10 Move to next well in sequence Repeat procedures above

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver

20 VER SYSTEM METHODOLGY

This section presents the purpose and methodology for Phase in operation of the VER system The VER system was operated at the O Connor Site as described in the Long-Term Groundwater Quality Monitoring Program and Phase HI Vacuum Enhanced Recovery of Oil Work Plan submitted to the USEPA and MEDEP in July of 2001

21 PURPOSE

The purpose of the VER Phase HI program was to collect as much residual oil from the subsurface soils and bedrock as practical Low quantities of oil have been recovered from the bedrock wells in TWA n since Source Control with no enhancement to the gradient around the well The VER system operation created a pressure gradient towards the well to enhance the flow of oil towards the well The advantage of this extraction technology is that a considerable gradient towards the well can be developed without significant water table draw down

22 SYSTEM OPERATION

A vacuum was applied to each of the four bedrock wells in TWA II (OW-202B OW-204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 The VER system was operated on one well at a time The operation of the VER system used components of the original VER system to the greatest extent possible The five wells were monitored daily for oil and water table elevation during operation of the VER

The top of the well to which the vacuum was to be applied was sealed and equipped with a vacuum line and vacuum gauge The vacuum pressure was set by opening and closing an air valve close to the suction of the liquid ring vacuum pump used with the original VER system The seal water for the liquid ring pump was recirculated using a small (-15 gallons) seal water reservoir The volume of oil recovered was expected to be low with thickness of oil on the order of tenths of a foot Due to the expected low recovery volumes absorbent socks rather than product recovery pumps were predominately used On two (2) occasions a bailer was used to remove oil when larger amounts of oil were found in the well

The length of time that the VER system was operated at each of the four bedrock wells (OW-202B OWshy204B OW-301B and OW-302B) and the original VER recovery well RW-101 was dependent upon observations made in the field The VER system was installed on one well operated on that well and oil flow into the well and other wells in the former TWA n area was measured After the test was completed at a well the VER system was moved to another well within the former TWA n area and the test was initiated again including monitoring for oil at each of the other wells This procedure was followed at each of the five wells At the end of each well test a table was generated that detailed the results of the test A preliminary trip report was also sent by CMP to both the USEPA and the MEDEP via electronic mail This allowed all interested parties to stay up to date with the VER system results The testing was moved to each of the five wells in the circuit until as much residual oil as practical was withdrawn by the VER system

An itemized list of the procedure followed at each well was is presented below

1 Measure initial water levels and residual oil thickness in subject and adjacent wells 2 If necessary remove accumulated oil 3 Place suction cap apparatus on top of well and ensure that hose clamp was tight 4 Ensure liquid ring seal water reservoir had adequate water 5 Start VER pump 6 Set vacuum pressure utilizing air valve and adjacent vacuum gauge 7 Check suction cap apparatus for leaks 8 Allow operation of system for allotted time (variable based on observations) 9 Return to site measureremove recovered oil and 10 Move to next well in sequence Repeat procedures above

32 DISCUSSION

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver

32 DISCUSSION

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver

32 DISCUSSION

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver

32 DISCUSSION

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver

Page 11: DRAFT VER PHASE III REPORT. - semspub.epa.gov · 2.0. VE SYSTERM METHODOLGY This section present thse purpose and methodology for Phase in operation of the VER system Th. e VER ...

32 DISCUSSION

The VER Phase HI system operated from August 20 2001 to October 10 2001 The system was operated during a time of a seasonally low water table at the site after an extended period with no significant recharge events Low water tables have been linked with increased recoveries of oil at the site in the past

The pulsing of the VER system removed an additional 198 gallons of oil from the bedrock subsurface soils at the site In the cases of wells OW-301B and OW-302B the majority of the oil was recovered during the initial pulse of the well on which the VER was operating The recovery of oil in the wells OW-202B and RW-101 fluctuated between higher and lower recovered amounts During approximately 4 weeks after the VER was shut down oil was found in OW-302B where oil had not been found during the operation of the VER with the exception of the first applied vacuum to that well On October 30 twenty days after the shutdown 391 gallons of oil was found in the well On November 8 an additional 051 gallons was found in and removed from the well Well OW-204B did not recover significant amounts of oil during the operation of the VER When the VER system was operated on this well oil was not induced to flow to this well

The results of the VER operation confirm the conceptual understanding that residual oil residing at the top of the water table and within the till bedrock interface was pulled deeper into the bedrock during the 1992 pumping tests at the site The oil resides within the bedrock fractures surrounding the wells that were pumped and that had oil at the water table and within the till bedrock interface (OW-202B OW-302B RW-101 and OW-301B area refer to Figure 1) Based on the recovery of oil and the pulsing history of the wells it appears that wells with an induced gradient in any of the bedrock wells can cause a small accumulation of oil in RW-101 This indicates that the gradient induced from a vacuum in the bedrock wells is felt in the tillbedrock migration zone strong enough to move residual oil in the overburden It is also possible from the decreasing quantities of oil collected in RW-101 that surface tension forces within the overburden were becoming more and more dominate allowing less and less oil to move as an immiscible fluid in multiphase flow

In the bedrock flow system it appears that OW-301B and OW-302B behave very similarly and differently from the behavior of OW-202B OW-202B shows small amounts of oil accumulation more frequently while OW-301B and OW-302B show dramatic responses and no small accumulations It is possible that OW-202B being the highest producing well of all the wells on site has significantly more fractures and thus significantly more fracture zones in which residual oil can reside Historically OW-202B has had the most oil removed (-41 gallons) while OW-301B and OW-302B have had 22 and 16 gallons respectively It is likely that the fracture frequency fracture aperture width pumping history and oil withdrawal history are responsible for the observed oil collected under a passive or aggressive collection scheme

Future use of the VER system will continue based on the results of monitoring and criteria to be established during development of the TI waiver
