Title
Remediation of Salt-Affected Soils at Oil and Gas Production Facilities
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Oct 1, 1997
Scope:
Scope
This manual focuses on remediation of typical spill sites on common
soils and landscapes. The information and concepts provided are
applicable to the remediation of some pit sites and some large spill
areas. However, the scope of this manual does not address remediation
of severe or chronic spill areas, pits deeper than 6 ft or containing
non-soil constituents, or groundwater or surface water.
Low concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons also may be present in
produced waters. Remediation of more than very low levels of
hydrocarbons (<2%) in soils is beyond the scope of this manual. If
high concentrations of hydrocarbons are present (>2%), the user
should consult references specific to hydrocarbon remediation.
This manual was intended for use within the United States where
resources, such as county Soil Surveys and similar data, are readily
available to the user. However, the underlying principals of salt
remediation make this manual applicable worldwide, with the possible
exceptions of predominantly frozen soils, organic soils, and certain
soils formed primarily from volcanic ash.
In contrast to mineral soils which are composed of inorganic sand,
silt, and clay particles, organic soils are composed primarily of
decayed vegetation which accumulates in saturated conditions. Although
this manual pertains to many soils of volcanic origin, it does not
address volcanic soils which contain a predominance of allophanes, due
to their unusual physical and chemical properties.
