Contaminant Type

PFAS

Contaminant of Concern

PFAS | Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA)

Location

Wisconsin,

USA

Challenge

PFAS-contaminated groundwater at the Dane County Regional Airport burn pit site required an effective in-situ remediation strategy in silty sand soils from 12–22 ft bgs.

Site Conditions

Active Facility

Approach

Injected 26,250 gallons of BAM Ultra, PFAS-degrading bacteria, calcium peroxide, and applied electrooxidation through 153 DPT points and 137 electrodes.

Results

Near 100% PFAS reduction achieved at MW-4 within the treatment zone, with sustained reductions at 6 months and measurable downgradient improvements at MW-6 alone.
