PetroFix Achieves UST Site Closure at NAAS Edenton

Case study highlights:

• NCDEQ issued a No Further Action Status for the site
• Application of PetroFix effectively mitigated benzene and other petroleum hydrocarbons to below regulatory thresholds
• Project exemplifies the successful adaptation of PetroFix in a complex post-military context

At the Naval Auxiliary Air Station Edenton, extensive historical use and subsequent contamination from military fuel operations necessitated robust remedial actions. After decades of conventional treatments and a monitored natural attenuation (MNA) approach, the application of PetroFix® supplemented with electron acceptors significantly enhanced MNA, effectively mitigating benzene and other petroleum hydrocarbons to below regulatory thresholds, culminating in a No Further Action status for the site. The strategic application of PetroFix, along with ongoing monitoring and adjustments, highlights the effectiveness of innovative remediation technologies in overcoming significant environmental challenges.
