1Technical Assistance to Ohio Closure Sites Technologies to Address Excavated VOC Contaminated Soil from Areas 3A/4A and Plant 6 at Fernald Environmental

Management Project (FEMP) personnel in Ohio to assess approaches to remediating volatile organic compound (VOC) contaminated soils. The technical assistance team was composed of technical experts from national labs, technology centers, and universities and was assembled in response to a request from the Soil and Disposal Facility Project (SDFP) at FEMP. A list of the technical assistance team members and names and contact information are provided in Appendix A. The technical assistance request sought evaluation, recommendation, development, and application of a process to treat approximately 1,800 cubic yards of soil/sediment contaminated with organic solvents (TCE, PCE) and with U (treatment process to focus on organics only) in Areas 3A and 4A. FEMP also requested assistance with a strategy for addressing contaminated soils at Plant 6. As part of this request at Areas 3A/4A and Plant 6, FEMP Fernald asked for sustained technical assistance as required to assure successful completion. See Appendix B for the technical assistance request. This was a two and a half day meeting. The time was used to discuss the primary issues at Areas 3A/4A and Plant 6, brainstorm potential innovative and cost effective solutions
