NCPRP I : BLACKLEAF SUPERFUND S ITE

National C enter for Phytoremediat ion Research, Pract ice , and Implementat ion

On the Black leaf Superfund Site in Louisvi l le , Kentucky

What I Learned. . .

The process of remediat ing a Superfund s ite

How to create , ref ine, and implement a progrom from scratch

Creat ive solut ions to di f f icu lt problems

The feas ibi l ity and potent ia l of Phytoremediat ion

The ba lance between connect iv ity to and buf fer ing f rom s ite surroundings

10 Step Plan for Blackleaf Site 1. Materials Salvage 2. Demolition 3. Cleanup and Proper Disposal 4. Re-grading 5. Silt fences and other appropriate barriers 6. Initial phytoremediation plots planted 7. Construction of facilities and infrastructure 8. Remaining phytoremediation plots planted 9. Test to ensure site is safe to open 10. Open for operation

PhytoremediationUsing plants to naturally extract contaminants from soil - cleans the soil on site - no excavation cost - no soil needs to be hauled away - no replacement soil needs to be brought in - considerably less expensive (100x-1000x)

Impervious surfaces account for 4685 ft2 of the site, however 2580 ft2 of this is existing sidewalk. Assuming that the runoff from the existing sidewalks does not flow on site, a 100 yr storm would produce about 1000 ft3 off of these surfaces total.

Green roofs accounts for 2420 ft2 of the site. If the roof maintains .5 inches of water in a 100 yr storm producing 6 inches of rain, 1109 ft3 of runoff would be produced off of these surfaces total.

Pervious paving accounts for 5035 ft2 of the site. If the paving maintains 1.5 inches of water in a 100 yr storm producing 6 inches of rain, 1888 ft3 of runoff would be produced off of these surfaces total.

Turf accounts for 1600 ft2 of the site. If the turf maintains 3 inches of water in a 100 yr storm producing 6 inches of rain, 800 ft3 of runoff would be produced off of these surfaces total.

* If the existing sidewalks are factored in, the total runoff for the site would be right at 50 percent, instead of the 36 percent.

Planting beds account for 2850 ft2 of the site. If the beds maintain 3.6 inches of water in a 100 yr storm producing 6 inches of rain, 570 ft3 of runoff would be produced off of these surfaces total.Rain gardens, bioswales, and bioretention account for 2385 ft2 of the site. If the basins maintain all water in a 100 yr storm producing 6 inches of rain, 0 ft3 of runoff would be produced off of these surfaces total. Runoff from other areas on site could be directed to these basins at an average depth of 12 inches, which would account for 2385 ft3 of additional runoff.
