{"title":"Past, Present, and Future Anatomy of an Oil Brine Plume Remediation near Poplar, Montana: A Case Study","authors":"Andy Davis, Ben Kamark, Nathan Sims, Martin Roth, John Mocko","doi":"10.1111/gwmr.12624","DOIUrl":"10.1111/gwmr.12624","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The Biere #1-22 oil production well near Poplar, Montana leaked brine and light nonaqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) to the shallow alluvial aquifer for several years before final closure in 2002. Since 2008, 2.5 billion L of brine have been removed (~90% of the original Cl mass). However, Cl will not reach the original background levels due to the reservoir of solutes entrained in the Bearpaw bedrock remnant from the lateral dense aqueous phase liquid flow across the alluvial/bedrock interface. After removal of ~100,000 L of product since 2006, residual LNAPL is now confined to 2.2 ha (5.5 acres) a decrease from the original 2.7 ha (6.6 acres) areal extent by 17%. The initial ~7.5 m thick product in 2002 is stable at a maximum of ~1 m. However, LNAPL has infiltrated into fine-grained clay/silt units forming a smear zone in lenses 10 to 20 m bgs. Ongoing remediation has successfully mitigated benzene groundwater impacts over the last 14 years, with the benzene plume area having decreased by >99% (at the 5 μg/L) level from the maximum ~140 ha in 2002. This appears to be the first study evaluating the challenges to remediate a mixed LNAPL/dissolved organic/inorganic plume. Based on the mass removal to date, the asymptotic trends in solute concentrations, unpotable background groundwater quality, absence of a source/receptor pathway, lack of beneficial groundwater use, duration of mitigation with no obvious future accrual in benefit and the availability of institutional controls, it seems that the remedial strategies employed since 2006 have met their cost/benefit goals.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 1","pages":"83-100"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138534764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty water samples collected from the WF have revealed a number of physio-chemical parameters such as pH, TDS, SAR, EC, ions (Na<sup>+</sup>, Mg<sup>+2</sup>, Ca<sup>+2</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, Cl<sup>−</sup>, SO<sub>4</sub><sup>−2</sup>, NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>, and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>), and trace elements (U, Pb, Cd, Zr, and Fe). The study clarified that the major ion parameters are within the permissible limits according to WHO 2018, except for Ca<sup>+2</sup>, Cl<sup>−</sup>, SO4<sup>−2</sup>, and NO3<sup>−</sup>, but trace elements have high concentrations, except for Zn. To recognize the association between groundwater quality parameters and their collective impact on whole groundwater quality, correlation coefficient, factor, and cluster multivariate statistical analyses were carried out and confirmed with the constructed LU/LC map. These revealed that the increase of TDS, EC, Cl, SO<sub>4</sub>, Na, Mg, and NO<sub>3</sub> is attributed to rainfall, leakage of municipal sewage Nile water, and human actions. GIS approaches were used to create thematic layers from groundwater physio-chemical parameters, which were then weighted and combined to produce a groundwater quality model. This model was classified into potable, marginal, and un-potable water. Potable and marginal water can be used for drinking and irrigation, but un-potable water can only be used for irrigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 1","pages":"101-121"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138534765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding heat transfer in groundwater is important for the design of LTTT applications. In this study, the effect of permeability heterogeneity on temperature distributions during and after the application of heat was investigated by numerical modeling. An enhanced reaction zone was determined for the hydrolysis of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) using an average half-life considering the temperature history during and after heating. For hydrolysis reactions, the average half-life could be reduced substantially by reaching a high temperature for a short period of time because their reaction rates increase exponentially with increased temperatures. Results showed that the enhanced reaction zone was shifted downstream of the heater well zone at high groundwater velocities. This suggests that heaters should be shifted upstream of the target treatment zone to fully utilize the applied heat. In addition, permeability heterogeneity leads to greater macroscopic dispersion at higher velocities. This resulted in higher spreading of heat and faster heat dissipation in the simulations with a heterogeneous permeability condition compared with a homogenous permeability condition. As a result, the enhanced reaction zone was smaller in simulations with higher levels of permeability heterogeneity at a mean velocity of 0.3 m/day.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 1","pages":"72-82"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135093075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
