• Investigating potential sources of groundwater contamination

• Remediating the Southwest Plume sources in accordance with the ROD

• Upgrading the two pump and treat facilities to improve uptime and removal of TCE

• Implementing Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) to remove the DNAPL source in the Upper Continental Recharge System 20–60 ft bgs

• Performing Deep Soil Mixing at SWMU 1 (Oil/Land Farm) where TCE was believed to be a source of groundwater contamination to the South West Groundwater Plume

• Performing a Steam Injection Treatability Study to obtain data on the behavior of steam injected into the Regional Gravel Aquifer (RGA) 60–100 ft bgs under variable injection scenarios

 

The Paducah remediation scope also included dispositioning newly generated low-level waste (LLW) and mixed LLW as well as operation and maintenance of seven fixed facilities to treat, repackage and store wastes.
