17、leum Releases i, which focuses primar- ily on assessing and remediating petroleum releases that may impact groundwater. This document contains six sections. The first two sec- tions provide basic background information; Sections 3 through 6 are organized to reflect the common progression of events i

18、nvolved in identifying, assessing, and remediating soils that contain petroleum hydrocarbons. The assessment and remediation of soils exposed to petro- leum hydrocarbon releases involve the application of se- lected technologies to one or more of the following hydrocarbon phases: Section 2 describes

19、 the physical and chemical properties of soils and hydrocarbon fuels, the characteristics of soils, and the interaction between petroleum hydrocarbons and soils. It also provides some fundamental information on how hydro- carbon phases behave in soils; such information is needed for properly assessi

20、ng and confirming petroleum contamina- tion and for effectively implementing corrective action. Sec- tion 3 presents an overview of emergency response and initial abatement. Section 4 presents a generic approach for conducting a site assessment. Section 5 discusses applicable sampling and analytical

21、 methods for use in the field or lab- oratory. Section 6 presents viable corrective-action options, including descriptions of in situ and aboveground correc- tive-action technologies such as soil vacuum extraction, bioremediation, land and thermal treatment, and other proven treatment alternatives f

22、or soils containing petroleum hydrocarbons. 1.3 Health and Safety Considerations Appropriate safety precautions should always be taken at sites where soils are suspected of containing petroleum hy- drocarbons. If a hazardous condition exists, the degree of hazard should be assessed so as to avoid ph

23、ysical harm to persons in the area. For example, if hydrocarbon vapors are generated from contaminated soil, the potential for explo- sion must be determined. The mixture of hydrocarbon va- pors and oxygen could create explosive concentrations that are ignitable by a spark source, such as an electri

24、cal switch that is not designed to be intrinsically safe (explosion- proof). Periodic field monitoring with combustible gas indicators and oxygen concentration meters should be conducted at any site where the potential for explosion or fire exists (see note). Explosive vapors from the volatilization

25、 of petroleum prod- ucts in contaminated soil tend to be more dense than the sur- rounding air and can collect in an invisible layer near the ground, in excavations, or in confined spaces. Although a person can detect the presence of some vapors by smell, field monitoring by qualified personnel shou

26、ld be conducted for reliable identification and quantification (that is, the nature and extent) of the hazard. Because airborne concentrations of vapors can be affected by such variables as temperature, wind speed, rainfall, moisture, and work activities at a site, a. Liquid phase, which includes re

Note: See Section 3 for a discussion of lower and upper explosive limits and 1 API PUBL*:Lb29 93 m 073

28、2290 05Lb222 338 m 2 API PUBLICATI For further protection against fire or explosion, all poten- tial ignition sources should be kept away from the area. Ex- plosion-proof electrical equipment or air-powered tools should be used, and safe practices should be followed during the performance of any tas

29、k that might create a hazardous at- mosphere. For additional safety, potential sparking sources (for example, excavation equipment) should be operated up- wind of the excavation, if possible. The most serious immediate hazard, by far, is the threat of fire and explosion. However, the potential for e

30、xposure to constituents in motor fuels is another health and safety con- sideration. The Occupational Safety and Health Administra- tion (OSHA) has developed regulations setting permissible limits for exposure to constituents; and guidelines for expo- sure have been developed by the National Institu

31、te for Occu- pational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 2 and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). Information on exposure limits for gasoline and the com- pounds listed in Table 1 can be found by consulting the latest editions of the Occupational Safety and Health Standard

32、s 3, and the ACGIH publication Threshold Limit Values and Bi- ological Exposure Indices for 1990-1991 4. Material safety data sheets (MSDS) from the manufacturer or supplier of the material, if ideqtifiable, should also be reviewed. The regulations and guidelines issued by OSHA, includ- ing Hazard C

35、venting, detecting, and reporting releases or suspected re- leases and for cleaning up releases from both new and exist- ing UST systems, which are potential sources of hydrocarbon releases in soil. These regulations, Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), be- came effectiv

36、e December 22, 1988. They apply to under- ground tanks in which petroleum substances are stored. For wastes that may be considered hazardous under RCRA, refer to 5.4.3 of this document. States may develop their own comprehensive programs for preventing the occurrence of petroleum products in soils,

37、groundwater, and surface water that are more stringent than the federal regulations. Consequently, a particular state or lo- cal jurisdiction may have specific reporting requirements for hydrocarbon releases, assessment results, analytical results, and remediation plans and progress. Permits may als

38、o be re- quired for excavating, stockpiling, and treating soil contain- ing petroleum hydrocarbons. Details on specific state requirements can be obtained by contacting the appropriate state environmental regulatory agency or the state fire marshal. In some states (for example, California and Fiorid

39、a), county and local jurisdictions have developed their own ordinances, which may be more strin- gent than federal or state regulations. 1.5 Referenced Publications A large body of reference material was assembled and used in developing this document. A list of relevant literature is presented in in

40、 Section 7. This reference list does not rep- resent an exhaustive search but rather an accumulation of ap- plicable and readily available information relating to the subject issues.

43、h the soil particles are packed to- gether, and sorting. The porosity of soil composed of well- rounded particles of equal size will be greater than the porosity of soil containing either angular or well-rounded particles of varying sizes. In the latter case, the smaller par- ticles can fill in void

44、 space between the larger particles. The wider the range of sizes of soil particles, the lower the porosity. Porosity is also affected by the shape of the particles in the soil. Spherically shaped soil particles pack together more tightly and exhibit less porosity than particles of other shapes, suc

45、h as plates or rods. Clay particles, for example, vary in shape and do not tend to pack closely together. Thus, the total porosity of clays can be very high. The preceding discussion assumes that all the intergranu- lar void spaces of the soil material are interconnected, which is usually not the ca

46、se. The term eflective porosity refers to the ratio of the volume of interconnected voids through which fluid can flow to the total volume of the soil material.
