Résumé
Activated carbon-based amendments have been demonstrated as a means of sequestering sediment-associated organic compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). In a 2012 effort, an activated carbon amendment was placed at a 0.5-acre amendment area adjacent to and underneath Pier 7 at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, Bremerton, Washington, USA to reduce PCB availability. Multiple postplacement monitoring events over a 3-year period showed an 80%-90% reduction in PCBs, stability of activated carbon, and no significant negative impacts to the benthic community. To further evaluate the long-term performance, a follow-on to the approximately 7-year (82-month) postplacement monitoring event was conducted in 2019. The results of in situ porewater and bioaccumulation evaluations were consistent with previous observations, indicating overall PCB availability reductions of approximately 80%-90% from preamendment conditions. Multiple measurement approaches for quantifying activated carbon and amendment presence indicated that the amendment was present and stable in the amendment area and that the activated carbon content was similar to levels observed previously. As in the previous investigation, benthic invertebrate community metrics indicated that the amendment did not significantly impair benthic health. An application of carbon petrography to quantify activated carbon content in surface sediments was also explored. The results were found to correspond within a factor of 1.3 (on average) with those of data for the black carbon content via a black carbon chemical oxidation method, an approach that quantifies all forms of black carbon (including activated carbon). The results suggest that at sites with low soot-derived black carbon content in sediment (relative to the targeted activated carbon dose), the black carbon chemical oxidation method would be a reasonable method for measurement of activated carbon dosage in sediment at sites amended with activated carbon.
