Gaya's Note: The PFAS Challenge

PFAS compounds are distinct due to their high solubility and resistance to natural degradation. The investigation at Lecanto Fire Training Center is designed to map exactly how these chemicals move through the local environment after historical usage in fire-fighting drills.

Technical Abbreviations

PFAS: Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances
FDEP: Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection
SOP: Standard Operating Procedure
AFFF: Aqueous Film Forming Foam
QA/QC: Quality Assurance / Quality Control
P.G.: Professional Geologist

Proposed Investigation

Investigation includes collection of samples across multiple media to further assess the presence of PFAS. Discrete soil boring intervals at 0.0-0.5' and 0.5-2.0' are used to define surface impacts.

Gaya's Note: Remedial Mechanics

Remediation here targets PCE, a common industrial solvent. The site uses a "Pump and Treat" method (GETS) to keep the contamination from moving off-site. The goal of 7,700 μg/L was calculated specifically for this site to ensure long-term public safety.

PCE: Tetrachloroethene (Solvent)
GETS: Groundwater Extraction & Treatment System
RIDEM: Rhode Island Dept. of Environmental Mgmt.
COC: Contaminant of Concern
VOC: Volatile Organic Compound
RAWP: Remedial Action Work Plan

System Performance

Groundwater is extracted from the former Building W source area to mitigate flow toward Adelaide Avenue. Periodic monitoring of shallow and deep wells tracks the natural and active reduction of VOC levels.
