In Situ Thermal Remediation Technologies2.1 Introduction: In Situ Thermal RemediationIn Situ Thermal Remediation (ISTR) has become a “hot topic” for environmental consultants, regulators, developers, utilities, and other companies. Thermal remediation technologies have proven both capable and highly consistent in remediating essentially all hazardous organic compounds to levels at or below regulatory cleanup standards. As a result, the number of thermal projects has skyrocketed.Why are so many people “thinking thermal?” The many advantages of thermal remediation include:• Delivers robust, highly predictable results.• Provides clean, quiet, dust free, and neighborhood friendly operations.• Increases property values and reduces liability on the books.• Treats inside buildings and near infrastructure.• Eliminates contaminants in soil to non-detect levels, even to drinking water standards.• Meets the needs of a broad range of project sites and contaminants.• Achieves closure in short time-frames.• Captures vapors and prevents unwanted contaminant mobilization.• Provides cost effective remedies — often Thermal is the obvious choice.In close cooperation with you, we design, build, and operate remediation projects from concept to closure. Our broad set of technologies and applications allow us to tailor an optimal design to your site’s soil, permeability, contaminants, location and cleanup goals. We apply each technology to its best purpose, alone or in combinations, ensuring that no method is stretched or force-fit to purposes for which another might be more cost effective or efficient. No other thermal remediation company offers this full range of options.Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 122.2 Thermal Remediation TechnologiesTerraTherm performs screening and technology selection for all sites to determine and propose the optimal and most cost-effective heating technique or combinations. Visit http://terratherm.com/thermal/index.htm for more informationThermal Conduction HeatingTerraTherm offers low, moderate, and high temperature applications of Thermal Conduction Heating (TCH), as incorporated within TerraTherm’s proprietary In Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD) technology. Thermal Conduction is the process of heat flowing from the hot end of a solid object (like an iron rod) to the cold end. In soil or rock, heat flows from TerraTherm’s heater wells out into the formation by grain-to-grain contact (in soil) and across solid objects (rocks). The TCH technology can be utilized to heat in situ soils and stockpiled soils and sediments. The design of the treatment system of in situ soils typically includes vertically installed heaters, whereas the design of the treatment system for the stockpiled soils (In-Pile Thermal Desorption®, or IPTD®) can incorporate vertical or horizontal heater wells. Steam Enhanced ExtractionSteam Enhanced Extraction (SEE) is a highly effective technology used in the recovery of free product and the remediation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) since the mid-1990s. SEE achieves on-site separation and treatment through steam injection into wells and extractions of hot fluids. Steam propagation is a stable and predictable process, governed by heat transfer to the formation and has been studied intensively and utilized for oil recovery and remediation of a wide-range of contaminants. Electrical Resistance HeatingTerraTherm offers an advanced form of Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) called Electro-Thermal Dynamic Stripping Process or ET-DSPTM. ET-DSPTM has been field proven on over 30 successful projects by our technology partner, McMillan-McGee Corporation. ERH has been widely applied and proven effective for free product recovery and enhanced vapor extraction at sites with volatile contaminants such as VOCs, CVOCs, and NAPLs, and is applied at low and moderate temperatures.CombinationsSEE may be combined with either ET-DSPTM, or with ISTD. Together these combinations comprise a glove-fit design for sites with complex geologies (e.g., silty clay aquitards, and sandy or gravelly aquifers). A combination approach often addresses the entire target treatment zone (TTZ). At each well location, either a single full-length TCH heating element or one or more ET-DSPTM electrodes is used along the depth interval of the low-permeability material, while steam is injected into wells screened in the permeable zones.

TCH has been applied as a remedial technology to sites worldwide since 1995.2.3.1 TCH InstallationTerraTherm uses the TCH technology by installing a series of patented electrically-powered heaters and vapor extraction points installed in situ, and operated to heat contaminated soil to target treatment temperatures. Target treatment temperatures are typically the boiling point of the contaminant of concern at the site.TerraTherm’s Patented Electric HeaterWhat is Thermal Conduction?Thermal conduction is the process of heat flow from the hot end of a solid object (like an iron rod) to the cold end. In soil or rock, heat flows from TerraTherm’s heater wells out into the formation by grain-to grain contact (in soil) and across solid objects (rocks). The fluids (water, air, NAPL) in contact with the solids also heat up at the same time. The heat moves out radially from each thermal well until the heat fronts overlap. Due to the invariance of thermal conductivity, sands, silts, and clays conduct heat at nearly the same rate, leading to highly predictable in situ heating, even in challenging and heterogeneous subsurface settings. Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 142.3.2 Benefits of TCHThermal conductivity values for the entire range of known soils vary by a factor of less than plus or minus three, while fluid conductivity of soils may vary by a factor of a million or more. Compared to fluid injection processes, the conductive heating process is uniform in its vertical and horizontal sweep. Transport of the vaporized contaminants is further improved by the creation of permeability, which results from drying (and, if clay is present, shrinking) of the soil close to the heaters. Preferential flow paths are created even in tight silt and clay layers, allowing escape and capture of the vaporized contaminants. TCH produces uniform heat transfer through thermal conduction and convection in the bulk of the soil volume. This allows the achievement of very high contaminant removal efficiency with a nearly 100% sweep efficiency, leaving no area untreated.TCH can be applied at low (<100°C), moderate (~100°C), and higher (>100°C) temperature levels to accomplish the remediation of a wide variety of contaminants, both above and below the water table.We most often apply TCH to achieve 100°C for treatment of VOC sites. We are often being placed in a box for the more difficult sites - while we actually can be competitive on all thermal sites. TCH is the only ISTR technology capable of achieving target treatment temperatures above the boiling point of water.TCH is effective at virtually any depth in almost any media.TCH works in tight soils, clay layers, and soils with wide heterogeneity in permeability or moisture content that are impacted by a broad range of volatile and semi-volatile contaminants such as:• DNAPL• LNAPL• Tar• PCBs• Pesticides• PAHs• Dioxins• Chlorinated Solvents• Explosives Residue• Heavy Hydrocarbons• MercuryHigherabove 100°CLowerbelow 100°CSVOCssteamIn Situ Thermal RemediationLower, Moderate and Higher Temperature Applicationselectrical resistancethermal conductionVOCs / CVOCsfree product recoverytemperature rangeexample applicationsheating methodologyModerate~100°C(212°F)Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 152.3.3 TCH Applicability TCH technology can be utilized both for in situ soils and stockpiled soils and treats both Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs). The design of the treatment system for in situ soils typically includes vertically installed heaters whereas the design of the treatment system for the stockpiled soils typically incorporates horizontally installed heaters. Examples of the elements of each system are shown below:Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 16Works Inside Buildings and Near StructuresThe TCH technology can operate inside and near buildings and infrastructure. This capability has been field proven in several projects. The photo below shows installation inside a working dry cleaning plant in Denmark.Applicable Above and Below the Water TableThe TCH technology can be applied to contaminants in soils both above and below the water table where the soils can be heated up to target treatment temperatures. Contaminants such as TCE, PCE, and other VOCs that do not require treatment temperatures higher than the boiling point of water, can be treated simply by steam distillation. Contaminants such as PAHs, dioxins, PCBs, and other SVOCs that require higher temperatures are treated by boiling off the water within the treatment zone, and then by heating the soil to the designated treatment temperatures. Where significant groundwater flow is present, additional measures such as groundwater management or a hydraulic barrier may be required.Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 172.4 Steam Enhanced Extraction What is Steam Enhanced Extraction?Steam Enhanced Extraction (SEE) achieves on-site separation and treatment through steam injection into wells and extraction of hot fluids. Steam propagation is a stable and predictable process, governed by heat transfer to the formation, and has been studied intensively for oil recovery and remediation of a wide range of contaminants.TerraTherm offers Steam Enhanced Extraction, a technology that has proven highly effective for the recovery of free product and the remediation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).TerraTherm uses SEE at low and moderate temperatures. It is applied through the installation of steam injection an extraction wells that are used to inject steam into the subsurface while simultaneously extracting steam, vapors, mobile non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL), and groundwater. The injected steam is used to heat the subsurface to target treatment temperatures, typically the boiling point of the contaminant of concern at the site.Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 18SEE Contaminant Removal and Destruction Mechanisms:• Displacement as a NAPL phase and extracted with the pumped groundwater.• Vaporization in the steam zone.• Accelerated vaporization and extraction is achieved in the vapor phase through pulsed pressurization and depressurization cycles.• Dissolution, destruction, and removal with the extracted water.SEE is a Good Fit for Sites with Significant Groundwater FlowSEE is a logical choice for large and deep sites with significant groundwater flow. The process allows for high net extraction of fluids and displaces large amounts of groundwater towards the extraction wells. As a result, less water has to be heated to allow the formation to reach target temperatures. In addition, this displacement facilitates hydraulic control of NAPL mobility. The steam sweeps through the formation and the accompanying pressure gradient displaces the mobile NAPL and vaporized components as an oil front, which is recovered when it reaches the extraction wells.Pressure Cycling for Improved Contaminant Removal RatesAnother significant benefit of SEE is the ability to conduct pressure cycling to improve contaminant removal rates dramatically. After the target zone has been heated and the majority of the NAPL extracted as a liquid, pressure cycling is induced by varying the injection pressure and the applied vacuum. This has been demonstrated to achieve very low concentrations in the original source zone.Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 19What is Electrical Resistance Heating?When electrical current is passed through the soil, the resistance it encounters causes the soil and fluids to heat up, due to Ohmic (or Joule) heating. The current flows from one electrode to another, primarily through the soil water. Once the water boils off, electrical conductivity becomes negligible and heating ceases; thus, water is added at each electrode to keep them from drying out. Heat-up with Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) is limited to the boiling point of water. McMillan-McGee’s Electrothermal Dynamic Stripping ProcessTM (ET-DSPTM) is an advanced ERH technology.2.5 Electrothermal Dynamic Stripping ProcessTM, Electrical Resistance Heating Electrical Resistance Heating has been widely applied and proven effective for free product recovery and enhanced vapor extraction at sites with volatile contaminants such as VOCs, CVOCs, and NAPLs, and is applied at low and moderate temperatures. TerraTherm offers an ERH technology called Electro-Thermal Dynamic Stripping Process or ET-DSPTM. ET-DSPTM has been field proven on over 30 successful projects by our technology partner, McMillan-McGee Corporation. 2.5.1 ET-DSPTM ProcessElectrodes are installed in wells throughout the contaminated soil and groundwater volume. The electrode array is connected to a Power Delivery System unit that uses standard, readily available three-phase power from the grid. The process begins by passing current between electrodes causing the soil temperature to rise. This increased temperature results in the volatilization of contaminant compounds into the vapor phase for removal with vapor extraction techniques.Comprehensive computer controls are used to regulate and optimize the thermal response of the target formation.Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 202.5.2 ET-DSPTM AdvantagesET-DSPTM features efficient energy delivery, convective heat transfer in permeable settings, and uniform temperature monitoring. These features are not found in other ERH technologies. ET-DSPTM project cycles are also shorter because of its rapid installation process and quick achievement of target temperatures.Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 21Combining Thermal Conduction Technologies provides an optimal solution for many sites. TerraTherm has demonstrated that Steam Enhanced Extraction may be combined with either Electrical Resistance or Thermal Conduction methods for a glove-fit design for sites that include complex geology and layers with highly permeable materials (e.g., sandy or gravelly aquifers).A combination of TCH or ERH and SEE often addresses the entire target treatment zone (TTZ). At each well location, TCH or ERH is used along the entire depth interval, and steam is injected into the permeable zones.Each of the heating technologies is applied where it is most effective.TCH or ERH:• Heats at all depths, including the bottom of the treatment zone, where it can form a “hot floor” that prevents downward migration of condensate and/or DNAPL.• Heats the near-surface soils such that shallow NAPL condensation is prevented; and heats thick clay layers.• ERH is applied at temperatures at or near the boiling point of water.• TCH may be chosen across a wide range of temperatures, and is the logical choice for higher temperature applications where high boiling contaminants are targeted for removal.Combined with SEE:Heats the permeable zones and builds a high pressure steam filled zone that reduces the water flow into the TTZ by reducing or negating the inward hydraulic gradient, and by reducing the relative permeability of water within the steam saturated porous media.The combined technologies approach optimizes overall heating and treatment efficiency, often reducing both the operational period and the overall project cost. 2.6 Technology CombinationsStatement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 223.

TerraTherm’s principal teaming partner for the subsurface heating was McMillan-McGee Corporation. Results:• Approximately 1,297 lbs (590kg) of contaminants wereremoved representing anestimated 95% reduction oftrichloroethylene (TCE) mass.• Thermal treatment significantlydecreased the time neededfor operation of the existinggroundwater treatment plant(plant shutdown in 2014).Site Information: In 1979, Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) contamination was detected at concentrations above drinking water standards in two municipal water supply wells in Groveland, MA. The wells were shut down. The main source of the contamination was identified as the former Valley Manufacturing Products Company, which began manufacturing various metal parts in 1963. At the time, operators disposed of liquids through a leach field and it was later determined that a leaky underground storage tank containing TCE was also a source of groundwater contamination. Nearly 850 acres (344 hectacres) (including the former Valley Manufacturing Products Company property now known as the Groveland Wells Superfund Site) were added to the National Priorities List in 1982. Remedial actions at the Site included the installations and operation of a Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) system in the source area between 1992 and 2002 and a groundwater extraction and treatment system, which has operated since 2000. Following a remedial investigation, it was determined that the SVE system was ineffective, thus ISTT was recommended.Contaminants of Concern (COCs): TCE; 1,1-dichloroethene; trans-1,2 dichloroethene; cis-1,2-dichloroethene; methylene chloride; tetrachloroethene; 1,1,1-trichloroethane; toluene; vinyl chloride.Site Geology/Hydrogeology: • Shallow overburden (fill and dark brown loamy sand) layer extendingfrom the ground surface to approximately 4 to 8 ft (1.2 to 2.4 m) belowground surface (bgs). The shallow overburden has a thin layer of perchedgroundwater in the sand layer just above the clay.• Clay layer approximately 2 to 10 ft (0.6 to 3 m) thick, thinning north tosouth. The clay layer is approximately 8 to 16 ft (2.4 to 4.9 m) bgs with adownward hydraulic gradient• Deep overburden composed of silty fine sand and/or glacial till extendingto bedrock.• Varying bedrock surface at approximately 45 ft (14 m) bgs.Objective: The overall objective of the Remedial Action was to reduce concentrations of contaminants in the source area vadose zone soil and overburden groundwater to below the cleanup goals specified in the Record of Decision and Explanation of Significant Differences.Challenge/Solution: Due to high soil resistivity and permeability encountered in the vadose zone during electrode operation, the heating system was modified to include shallow steam injection wells.

The team executed a hot soil sampling protocol to demonstrate compliance attainment. The ISTD system operated for 8 months, at which time interim soil sampling showed that all but one sampling location had met the remedial goal of 1 mg/kg. A small area with high starting concentrations proved to be recalcitrant, with soil concentrations plateauing at levels between 5 and 20 mg/kg. Four additional heater wells were installed, and 10 days later the remedial goals were achieved in this location. The energy used for heating was 23 million kWh, equal to 225 kWh/cubic yard treated. An estimated contaminant mass of 34,000 lbs (15,000 kg) was recovered and destroyed on-site through the thermal oxidizer treatment system.

As early as 1866 Pierce, Butler, & Pierce manufactured boilers and radiators in the original facility. In the early 1900s, the Prosperity Co. manufactured industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment on the Site. Since the 1960s the 200,000 square foot (18,600 m3) manufacturing facility was underutilized. Pioneer Companies purchased the 22-acre (8.9-ha) Brownfield site in 2004 with plans to redevelop the Site into commercial property. Contaminants of Concern (COCs) Pre-Treatment Concentrations and Remediation Goals: Geology: Subsurface strata beneath a veneer of urban fill including foundry sand and other inorganic debris consisting of: • Peat or peat/marl which extended to depths ranging from 14 to 30 (4.3 to 9.1 m) feet below ground surface.• Soft clay was found below the peat or peat/marl layer. The clay layer was of variable thickness, sometimes observed for 30 or more feet (9.1 m)uninterrupted.• Mixed sand, gravel, and silt layers of varying thicknesses were observed below the clay layer at most locations, underlain by a glacial till. The depth to till generally increased to the south, ranging from as shallow as 15 feet (4.6 m) along the northern site boundary to more than 51 feet (15.5 m) along the southern boundary. Challenges:• Significant mass of Chlorinated Volatile Organic Compounds (CVOCs) resided in the peat/marl layers, underlain by clayey soils.• High Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content in soil, averaging 10.8%• Shallow water table; two to four feet (0.6 to 1.2 m) below grade, nearly saturating the entire interval of the treated zone.

Three source areas were addressed by the thermal technology, and groundwater beneath the site is undergoing natural attenuation. Approximately 86,000 lbs (39,000 kg) of volatile organics were extracted and treated on-site. The performance of the thermal remedy was documented by the collection of soil samples from 51 locations. All areas met the negotiated cleanup standard after thermal treatment. Monitoring of redox-sensitive groundwater parameters and the concentration of CVOCs in groundwater show continued natural attenuation. Three of the seven monitoring wells at the site show concentrations below their respective NYSDEC groundwater standards. Based on current trends, it is anticipated that the remaining wells may meet these standards within 5 years. The Site, now known as Midler Crossing, which is currently the location of a major home improvement center and local federal credit union, is a prime example of Brownfield redevelopment and selection of “best fit” alternative remedial technologies.Midler Crossing is within three miles of a population of 190,000 and a 20 minute drive for any of the 450,000 residents of Onondaga County. This project took over two years in the planning and right-to-build process and represents one of the largest private cleanups of a contaminated site in upstate New York. The project received the Empire Award in 2010 as the highest rated project in New York State by the American Council of Engineering Companies of New York. An aerial view of the completed project.

On Site, an abandoned gasholder contained approximately 2,010 cubic yards (cy) (1,537m3) of soil and debris contaminated with coal tar. The 62 ft (19 m) diameter by 18 ft (5.5 m) deep gasholder had brick walls and a bottom believed to be constructed of concrete.Contract Type and Project Goals: Guaranteed performance contract to achieve a permanent solution in accordance with the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP), by eliminating Dense Non-Aqueaous Phase Liquid (DNAPL) within the holder and reducing concentrations of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) below MCP Upper Concentration Limits (UCLs) so that residual risk is minimized. Contaminants of Concern (COCs) were as follows: Coal tar containing concentrations as high as benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P] 650 mg/kg; naphthalene 14,000 mg/kg; benzene 6,200 mg/kg; and TPH 230,000 mg/kg.Soil Characteristics: Mixture of sand, gravel, cobbles, bricks, concrete fragments, ash, and clincker. Groundwater: Perched water table was encountered within the gasholder at 5.5 ft (1.7 m) below ground surface (bgs). The regional groundwater table is beneath the holder.

After dewatering, TerraTherm applied ISTD in a step-wise fashion, without excavation. To our knowledge, this is the first site where a multi-level in-situ heating approach has been applied. We utilized three levels of heating (Levels 1, 2 and 3) sequentially, achieving low (80°C), moderate (100°C) and higher (325°C) soil temperatures, respectively. During Level 1, >16,000 gal (60,000 l) of coal tar/emulsion was recovered, while during Levels 2 and 3, >166,000 lb (75,000 kg) expressed as naphthalene were extracted and treated in the vapor phase. ISTD resulted in the following reductions in soil concentrations (mg/kg): Level 2, benzene from 3400 to 0.95, naphthalene from 14000 to 70, and benzo(a)pyrene from 650 to 100; Level 3, benzene from 2068 to 0.35, naphthalene from 679 to 5.7, and benzo(a)pyrene from 20 to 0.33. No DNAPL remained within the gasholder, and all constituents were below the remedial goals. National Grid judged the turn-key cost ($850,000 for ISTD) to be less than the excavation alternative.TerraTherm mobilized to the site in November 2003, with site construction beginning the same month. Dewatering/tar recovery began in February 2004. Full power heating began in July 2004 and was completed in March 2005, with demobilization completed June 2005.For further information:TERRATHERM, Inc. 151 Suffolk LaneGardner, MA 01440Kelly Clemons (978) 730-1252kclemons@terratherm.comwww.terratherm.comCASE STUDYIn Situ Thermal Remediation of Contaminants Within a Former Wood Treatment Area:Alhambra, CaliforniaTERRATHERMHistorical photo of full-length treatment tanks at the Southern California Edison SiteApproach: • In Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD)• Target Treatment Zone (TTZ):?

The site was a former utility pole treatment facility that Souther California Edison (SCE) operated from 1922 to 1957. The subsurface soils were contaminated primarily with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pentachlorophenol (PCP), and polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs), with soil treatment standards of 0.065mg/kg benzo(a)pyrene equivalents (B(a)P-E), 2.5 mg/kg PCP, and 1.0 µg/kg PCDD/Fs, expressed as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) Toxic Equivalents (TEQ), respectively. A feasibility study led to the selection of TerraTherm’s patented In Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD) technology.SCE’s Alhambra Combined Facility occupies approximately 14 hectares (ha) and is currently used for storage, maintenance, and employee training. The former wood treatment area (AOC-2) occupied a 1-ha portion of the site. SCE carried out wood treatment at the area from approximately 1921 to 1957, by immersing utility poles in creosote. The total treatment volume was approximately 16,200 cubic yards (12,400 m3) of vadose zone soil, and included a variety of buried subsurface features, including treatment tanks, the structural remains of the former boiler house and tank farm, and various buried utilities.Site Geology and Hydrogeology: Soils within the thermal treatment area were composed of fill and silty sands, inter-bedded with sands, silts, and clays. The average thermal treatment depth was approximately 20 ft (6.1 m) below ground surface (bgs) and in some areas extended to over 100 ft (30 m) bgs. The depth to the water table was greater than 250 ft (75 m) bgs.A partial view of the SCE wellfieldFor further information:TERRATHERM, Inc. 151 Suffolk LaneGardner, MA 01440Kelly Clemons(978) 730-1252kclemons@terratherm.comwww.terratherm.comIn Situ Thermal Remediation of Contaminants Within a Former Wood Treatment Area:Alhambra, CaliforniaTERRATHERMTime Frame:July 2004 - March 2006Heating Method: In Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD)Location: Alhambra, CAProject Team:As General Contractor, TerraTherm, Inc., provided all project design, construction, operation, and equipment.TerraTherm subcontracted for construction labor, drilling, electricians, and source testing.Project Summary: On Feb. 8, 2007, DTSC certified that “the AOC-2 portion of the site has been remediated to allow for unrestricted land use, and that no further action is required”. To the authors’ knowledge, achievement of unrestricted/residential land use at a facility of this type has never before been accomplished with an in-situ remediation method. In fact, during project planning, the only other remediation alternative deemed capable of achieving the unrestricted land use goal was soil excavation followed by off-site incineration. Although ISTD remediation costs exceeded the originally estimated cost, the all-in project cost was still approximately 40% lower than the excavation/incineration alternative for this F-listed waste. The ISTD project was completed without the complications and inherent risks associated with excavation projects, such as: strong odors, potential for chemical exposure, transportation of waste through city streets/communities, and the potential for other environmental impacts on the community.Results:After two phases of treatment and the collection of confirmation soil samples, the site wide average of 0.065 ppm for cPAHs; 0.11 µg/kg for dioxin, expressed as 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxicity equivalents; and 1.25 mg/kg for PCP were achieved.Contaminant Clean-up Standard (µg/kg) Mean Soil Concentration (µg/kg)Pre-Treatment Post-TreatmentB(a)P-E <65 30,600 (n=47) 59 (n=60)PCP <2,500 2,940 (n=15*) 1,250 (n=60)TCDD TEQ <1 18 0.11 (n=18)For further information:TERRATHERM, Inc. 151 Suffolk LaneGardner, MA 01440Kelly Clemons(978) 730-1252kclemons@terratherm.comwww.terratherm.comStatement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 37Appendix B: Applicable Systems and Contracting QualificationsMaintenance of a Lessons Learned Process and Database: TerraTherm regularly convenes a Lessons Learned Committee, comprised of engineering and field staff, which scrutinizes all significant design features, construction methods, and operational procedures.

TerraTherm strives to establish and maintain a leadership role in the evolution of sustainable remediation through improvement in all operational aspects. Ancillary Environmental Impacts from CleanupsOur In Situ Thermal Remediation (ISTR) technologies prevent migration of contaminants from the site. In addition, since there is no excavation or transportation of materials, airborne contaminants, dust, and noise are virtually non-existent. Treatment of collected gases is thorough with odorless and clean vapor emissions. As a result, ISTR is a leading method in preventing ancillary environmental impacts.Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas EmissionsTerraTherm’s ISTR technologies employ electrical power. Since our project cycles are short and predicable, total energy use is well defined and the need for repeated applications or long-term operations and maintenance is eliminated; therefore, remediation is rapid and is inherently more sustainable than potential trial-and-error approaches that may use more resources, delay redevelopment, put Greenfields at risk of development, and create more emissions in the long run. TerraTherm has participated in cutting edge Life Cycle Assessments to evaluate the sustainability of our projects and find ways to make them more sustainable. TerraTherm offers verifiable Carbon Offsets to our clients for TerraTherm field projects. Offsetting the carbon footprint of a typical ISTR project adds less than 1% to the project cost. Such initiatives have been successful in steadily increasing the energy efficiency of our technologies through R&D and innovation. The rapid and final site cleanup advantages, extremely high level of safety, cleanliness of our operations, and low community impact combine to make ISTR a logical and leading choice for sustainability. These factors greatly outweigh the slight carbon impact incurred in the use of electrical power.Preservation of Natural Resources and Maximization of Land Reuse to Preserve Underdeveloped AreasUndeveloped lands play an important role in mitigating the effects of greenhouse gas emissions. In the effort to preserve such lands, time is of the essence. Among the most efficient ways to prevent undeveloped lands from being committed to industrial use is to revitalize and clean Brownfields for reuse in a timely and predictable manner. The rapid and predictable results of ISTR ensure the redevelopment of Brownfields on a fixed timeline, thereby preserving Greenfields. No other technology achieves this sustainability goal as quickly, or completely, as ISTR.Permanent Elimination of Contamination ISTR is proven uniquely effective in the elimination and stabilization of contaminants. Results consistently demonstrate the achievement of site cleanup goals, even to drinking water standards (where applicable). Through carefully engineered and controlled processes, permanent remediation is measurable and ensured through in situ destruction, desorption, stabilization, and/or extraction of offending materials. In addition, these processes prevent mobilization of contaminants ensuring the safety of adjacent water supplies. No other remediation technology has proven more effective in the permanent elimination of contaminants. Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 39Public Contractor Safety and Health During and After the Project TerraTherm has maintained an impeccable safety record throughout its history. Further, it can be said that in situ thermal remediation is inherently safer than other methods because of little or no dust, heavy vehicle movement, chemical use, harmful emissions, or noise are consequential to the process. In this way, threats to public and contractor health that are common to excavation, chemical treatment, and some other purportedly “green” methods are eliminated or greatly reduced. Recycling of MaterialsTerraTherm endeavors to reuse, refurbish, and recycle materials to the fullest extent possible. We have found that refurbishing process equipment to fully restore it to useful life is both economical and safe. It also provides reductions in ancillary life cycle costs (resource extraction, manufacturing, shipping, etc.). Our aim is to exemplify the principal of “waste not, want not.”Statement of QualificationsAdvise, Design, Build, Operate©TerraTherm, Inc., 2014, All Rights Reserved 40Appendix D: TerraTherm’s Online Presence You can now keep up-to-date with all things thermal and follow TerraTherm through various social media networks.
