In-Situ Groundwater Treatment, Former Remco Hydraulics Facility, 934 South Main Street, Willits, California

The Willits Environmental Remediation Trust (WERT) is proposing to conduct interim remediation activities, specifically to treat groundwater in-place (in-situ) that is contaminated primarily with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a pesticide-free food grade molasses and yeast. The project, called an interim remedial action (IRA), is detailed in documents titled: Interim Remedial Action Work Plan for In-Situ Treatment of VOCs in Shallow Groundwater dated November 2007; which was submitted for the Regional Water Board's consideration of Waste Discharge Requirements under applicant's Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD). The IRA has identified four initial areas for molasses injections, and additional injections to other areas of the site. This document analyzes impacts from similar injections within the entire site area in contemplation of the need for additional injections that will be authorized under the waste discharge requirements.
