Methane
Generated by Hydrocarbon Decomposition
Increase Soil Gas Volumes and Pressures
Aerobically Degraded along with TPH Causes Additional Oxygen Demand
Likely to Be More Significant at Releases with
High Ethanol Content (USEPA 2011)

Risk Management Decision to Excavate
Source Removal
Provided Minimum Distance of 7 Feet for
Bioattenuation of Petroleum Vapors
Removed Uncertainty Regarding Shallow
Sources and Preferential Pathways
Sub-slab and Soil Vapor Probes Installed to
Confirm Effectiveness

Look and you will find it what is unsought
will go undetected..Sophocles
Using Multiple Lines of Evidence Leads to
Better Decisions
