Principles
and Practices for Diesel Contaminated Soils, Volumes 2-7
These Volumes contain the Proceedings from the annual
Symposium on Remediation of Diesel Fuel Contaminated Soils,
sponsored by the Association for the American Railroads
Research and Test Department, the topics covered have broad
applicability. Articles are based on presentations at the
symposia, and go well beyond railroad sites and issues.
This series brings into
timely focus issues relating to the remediation of diesel
contaminated soils, with an emphasis on bioremediation. The
six volumes span the nineties, tracing the rapid and
significant developments in the field that have occurred in
response to regulatory changes regarding underground storage
tanks and the protection of groundwater.

This volume emphasizes the results of various approaches
to on-site biological treatment and issues affecting
treatability, using on-site techniques as well as accurate
analysis of diesel products. This book serves as a useful
source of technical information, as well as a guidance
document for: railroads, municipal, county, state, and
federal regulatory personnel; scientific researchers;
industry executives, engineers, and staff with environmental
responsibilities; environmental attorneys; and environmental
consultants

to Volume 3 Table of Contents
One of the objectives of this
book is to provide the reader with the methods and results
of approaches that have been used at a wide variety of
sites, cleaning up contaminants of interest to the railroads
such as diesel and related compounds. The general need to
cleanup petroleum hydrocarbons such as weathered diesel and
other heavy hydrocarbons leads to a related issue, which is
the risk posed by these materials. Timelines and disturbance
resulting from site cleanup on railroad property are also
discussed.

The contents of this volume
principally bear on two major issues in remediation today:
the expanding use of bioremediation techniques, and the
application of risk-based criteria to site cleanup. A number
of the papers included in this volume provide additional
information on the steps required to successfully apply the
technique, including some novel applications and
circumstances of particular relevance to railroad industry
users. In the broader sense, the value of bioremediation is
its role as an economical method in which the hydrocarbon
contaminates are converted by microbial activity into
harmless by products, often without even requiring the
removal of the contaminated soil.

to Volume 5 Table of Contents
This volume deals with topics
relevant to risk-based cleanup, including site risk
assessment, appropriate site closure levels, and contaminate
measurement techniques. Development and acceptance of
methods for establishing appropriate risk-based cleanup
levels are important, but achieving these levels by the most
cost-effective treatment method is also necessary.
Understanding the response of diesel fuel to different
remediation approaches under a variety of conditions is
essential to planning the most cost-effective approach at a
particular site. This volume deals with these and other
issues as they apply to both railroad and non-railroad
sites.

to Volume 6 Table of Contents
The papers presented in this
volume are intended to help the reader find solutions to the
problems faced at cleanup sites contaminated with diesel
fuel and related hydrocarbons. The increasing trend toward
risk-based approaches has created a multitude of new options
to be considered in determining what cleanup criteria fit
the circumstances at each site. A greater variety of
scientific and engineering information now often have to be
considered than under the old, arbitrary cleanup standard
paradigm.

Volume 7 Table of Contents
This volume is the seventh in
a series of books whose purpose is to document and
disseminate the information presented at the AAR sponsored
symposium on remediation of sites contaminated with diesel
fuel and other topics of interest to the railroad
remediation professional. Although the majority of railroad
remediation issues involve diesel fuel and similar petroleum
products, railroads sometimes must deal with other
contaminants. This is reflected in Chapters 1 and 2, which
discuss new technology for detection of lead in soil and the
natural attenuation of chlorinated hydrocarbons in
association with petroleum, respectively. Chapters 3 through
7 all discuss aspects of petroleum contamination including:
a description of the successful closure of a sludge
impoundment lagoon, the cleanup and operational cost
implications of diesel fuel spillage in a variety of
railroad circumstances, the successful use of on-site
bioremediation at a refinery, a cooperative approach that
facilitated a real estate transaction involving a
contaminated site and its constructive reuse under the
Brownfield paradigm, and a useful summary of the steps
involved with a landfill capping project on a former rail
yard. Chapters 8 & 9 describe the use of phytoremediation, a
technique that uses vegetation to help accelerate the
biodegradation of soil contaminants. Finally, Chapter 10
describes recent work by the AAR applying new, more
sophisticated analytical methods to the detailed measurement
of weathered petroleum hydrocarbon compounds at four
railroad sites around the United States. The method was
developed under the umbrella of the Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbon Working Group specifically for use in Risk-Based
Corrective Action (RBCA) assessments.
