Document Description
The proposed project involves implementation of a pilot study to evaluate in-situ (below ground surface) remediation technology in a controlled test cell as part of the development of a long-term strategy for remediation of groundwater containing chromium at the Hinkley Compressor Station (the site). The site is located east of the community of Hinkley in San Bernardino County in the Harper Valley Subarea of the Mohave Hydrologic Unit. The proposed pilot study will evaluate in-situ biological reduction of hexavalent [Cr(VI)] to trivalent chromium [Cr(III)] using cross-gradient groundwater recirculation. Reduced conditions will be created from injecting food-grade carbon sources, such as lactate, whey, and emulsified vegetable oil, into the aquifer at the Central Area of the Cr(VI) plume. Prior laboratory and field studies have shown that these injections do not create harmful or long-lasting environmental conditions affecting water quality or public health and safety.
