Title
Guide for Assessing and Remediating Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Soils
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:

Scope:
1.1 Purpose and Scope
This publication provides general information regarding the site and
release characteristics relevant to and methods for assessing and
remediating soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons released
from underground storage tank (UST) or aboveground storage tank (AST)
systems and operations. It is designed to provide the reader with a
basic understanding of the interaction between motor fuel and soils,
the techniques for determining if petroleum hydrocarbons are present
in the soil at a site, and the methods for quantifying the extent of
hydrocarbons in the soil. Several conventional and proven technologies
for treating soils containing hydrocarbons are discussed, and
information for selecting one or more alternatives is provided.
In this publication, petroleum hydrocarbons and motor fuel include all
grades of leaded and unleaded gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel that
are commonly found at vehicle refueling facilities across the country.
This publication primarily addresses the assessment and remediation of
soils containing petroleum hydrocarbons in the unsaturated zone. The
influence that groundwater fluctuation has on the lower portion of the
unsaturated zone in specific situations is discussed briefly (see
Section 2 for definitions and examples).
Whenever possible, the use of technical terms has been avoided;
however, when such usage is necessary, the term is italicized and
immediately defined in the text that follows.
