摘要

In late December 1999, a rail car accident occurred approximately 1000 feet north of New England Central Railroad's (NECR) Palmer, Massachusetts rail yard. The incident left a two-foot long by two-inch wide gash in the 2500-gallon diesel fuel tank of the rail engine involved in the accident. An unknown volume of the fuel spilled to the ground surface in the vicinity of the point of impact. Further compounding the magnitude of the release was the schedule for train usage of the track on which the accident occurred. To avoid a major catastrophe with the next scheduled train, which was due to pass the incident zone within 30-minutes, NECR employees transferred the damaged engine to an available spur within the yard. Additional fuel spilled from the tank along 1,000 feet of rail track during the transfer and at the final resting point of the damaged engine. Emergency responders subsequently estimated the total volume of spilled fuel to be approximately 700 gallons. This paper will detail the emergency response actions that were implemented at the release site to minimize contaminant migration and which were undertaken as an Immediate Response Action (IRA) under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) regulations (310 CMR 40.0000 et seq.). The unique challenges presented by conducting cleanup activities along an active rail line will be discussed. Additionally, the concept of "background" petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations within a 150-year old railroad depot, and the sampling and analytical program that we developed to document those background concentrations, will be highlighted. Finally, the paper will describe the bioremediation program that was developed to address residual diesel fuel-contaminated soils that could not be remediated during the emergency response efforts. This discussion will focus on the use of indigenous bacteria to degrade residual petroleum hydrocarbons and on the use of nutrients for enhancement of biodegradation within the contaminated zones along and within the active rail tracks.
