Leaking Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Initiated - Petroleum |
Two gasoline tanks removed, and 125 cubic yards of contaminated soil stockpiled on the gas station property. Fuel stained soils were identified at the fill pipe and product piping. Up to 0.034 mg/kg benzene and non-detect (<2.0 mg/kg) GRO in the excavation and piping run samples collected. The results are biased low because field preservation with methanol was not conducted at that time. The tank excavation extended to 16 feet below ground surface (bgs) and the piping to 5 feet bgs. No sidewall samples were collected in the piping and tank excavation, so contamination may remain in those areas. |

During a 2000 upgrade if the three compartment 12,000 gallon UST system 30 cubic yards of diesel contaminated soil removed at the top of the tank, diesel piping, and each of the three dispenser area. Visibly fuel stained soils were identified at the UST turbine pump that had migrated in the pea gravel backfill along the tank sides. No soil samples were collected from the remaining visibly fuel stained soils near the tank. Only a dispenser sample was collected at 4.5 feet below ground surface that was non-detect for benzene, and 98.0 mg/kg DRO. The sample was not analyzed for GRO.
A new 15,000 gallon gasoline tank was installed as part of the upgrades. The 30 cubic yards of diesel contaminated soil was thermally treated later in 2000. |

Underground Storage Tank Site Characterization or Assessment |
On September 15, 2000 two soil borings were sampled to help define the extend of the contamination just to the north of the 12,000 gallon 3 compartment tank. Up to 5,180 mg/kg DRO, 2,900 mg/kg GRO, and 8.45 mg/kg benzene at 13.5 feet below ground surface (bgs) and 0.319 mg/kg benzene at the base of the boring 2 at 26.5 feet bgs, and 0.0497 mg/kg benzene at the base of boring 1 at 30.5 feet bgs. Soil boring 2 was installed with 20 feet of screen to be used for a future in-situ remediation system. The consultant recommends further release investigation to determine the depth to groundwater and to detemine if it has been impacted. |

Site Characterization Workplan Approved |
ADEC letter conditionally approves release investigation work plan and request for area drinking water well sampling. The 1/4 mile drinking water well search identified one drinking water well on the property (120 feet to the north) and two nearby (one for the Cafe and one for the home on the property) at the Bird Creek Cafe property (350 feet to the southeast and south by southeast). The depth drinking water ranges between 65 and 130 feet below ground surface. The ADEC requested that all three drinking water wells be sampled for VOCs (Method 524.2), GRO, and DRO. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
ADEC receives a report documenting the location of the 125 cubic yard contaminated stockpile that was generated during the UST system upgrade in 1995. The contaminated stockpile was initially stored on the gas station property and later moved without ADEC notification or approval to a nearby residential property owned by the gas station owner. The contaminated soils were spread on the ground surface without a cover or liner. On January 17, 2002 the RP's consultant, without a DEC approved sampling plan, collected 5 analytical soil samples from those soils. Up to 0.880 mg/kg GRO, and non-detect (<0.009 mg/kg) benzene in the samples collected. Those results are considered biased low since the sample locations were collected without using field screening reading to determine the analytical sample locations. |

ADEC letter. The September 2002 Report documents that the 125 cubic yard stockpile and the area around and under the stockpile at the Johnson Property - Lot 23 meets Method 1, Category A cleanup levels. Five stockpile, one perimeter soil sample, and five subsurface analytical samples under the stockpile were collected based on field screening readings. Up to 1.35 mg/kg GRO, non-detect (<0.024 mg/kg) benzene in the soil samples collected. Based on those results the ADEC is not requesting any further sampling of the stockpile or stockpile area at this property. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Release investigation conducted in 2002 to help define the extent of the soil and groundwater contamination. Soil contamination (up to 2.17mg/kg benzene, 3,390 mg/kg DRO, and 475 mg/kg GRO) extends down to 42 to 62 feet at several locations. Groundwater is at 72 feet below ground surface. Groundwater contamination (up to 14 ug/l benzene) has been found in the area of monitoring well MW-1. Higher contamination concentrations may exist due to the fact that the soil samples from MW-4 from 12 to 42 feet bgs had higher field readings but were not analyzed because the sample jars were broken during transit to the lab. |

Robert Weimer |
| 12/20/2012 |
Update or Other Action |
ADEC review of site closure request. Due to the remaining source of soil contamination continued groundwater monitoring is needed at this site and a Corrective Action Complete status is not justified.
The downgradient monitoring well MW-4 filled in with sand and has not had groundwater samples collected since 2004. Upon further review of the site boring logs ADEC has concerns that the existing monitoring wells may not be adequately monitoring the groundwater at the site. A shallower groundwater zone may exist at this site that could be impacted and provide transport for the remaining contamination at this site. A sandy wet layer exists at a shallower depth 33 to 54 feet in MW1, 36 to 61 feet in MW2, 39 to 47 feet in MW3, and 41 to 49 feet in MW4 than the screened intervals in the existing monitoring wells. Higher field readings and contaminant concentrations were identified at in this sandy layer.
ADEC requests by February 1, 2013 a work plan for the installation and sampling of at least 3 shallower monitoring wells at this site by May 31, 2013. During the installation soil samples need to be collected to help assess the current soil contamination concentrations in those areas.
ADEC has no objection to suspending the groundwater monitoring of the deeper monitoring wells until the above requested shallower soil and groundwater assessment has been conducted and the results are reviewed.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Release investigation work plan submitted for review. The plan proposes to install only 1 shallow monitoring well screened from 35 to 50 feet below ground surface (bgs) near the southern end of the 12,000 gallon gasoline tank and to abandon monitoring well MW-4 which had filled with sand. They propose to collect soil samples for BTEX and GRO at the soil/water interface and any other depth with elevated field readings. This work plan is not approved. ADEC sent a request for a revised work plan that includes the following:
1. As per my 12/30/12 email a minimum of three shallower monitoring wells are requested. The site map needs to show the location of these three monitoring wells.
2. The analysis needs to include DRO in all soil samples.
3. The most likely contaminated depth in each boring is to also be analyzed for PAHs, lead, EDB, and 1,2-DCA.
4. The initial groundwater monitoring event is to include BTEX, GRO, DRO. Those results will be used to determine which wells that will need to be sampled for PAHs, lead, EDB, and 1,2-DCA in a subsequent groundwater monitoring event.
5. Soil and groundwater sampling is to be conducted in accordance with the ADEC May 2010 Draft Field Sampling Guidance.
6. The monitoring wells need to be installed and developed in accordance with the DEC November 2011 Monitoring well Guidance.
7. Monitoring well MW-4 needs to be decommissioned in accordance with the ADEC November 2011 Monitoring well Guidance.
8. Complete copies of field notes are to be included in the report.
9. ADEC is to be notified at least 48 hours prior to the work being conducted.
10. At least 2 soil samples are to be collected from each soil boring, one at the soil/water interface and the other at the highest field screening depth.
11. Potentially contaminated drill cuttings will need to be properly containerized. The soil sample results from that boring can be used in a future request for approval to treat/dispose of those soils.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
On May 28-29, 2014 three soil borings were sampled and completed as monitoring wells (MW4a, MW5, and MW6). Up to 2,100 mg/kg DRO, 1,100 mg/kg GRO, and 6.3 mg/kg benzene in the soil samples collected. PAH, 1,2-DCA, EDB, and lead samples were below cleanup levels. Soil contamination over cleanup levels was identified from 5 feet below ground surface (bgs) to 42 feet bgs where a sallower groundwater was encountered. Damp soils were first encountered between 40 and 45 feet bgs. In the three new shallower monitoring wells the depth to groundwater was measured at 49.5 feet bgs (MW4a), 40.5 feet bgs (MW5), and 49.6 feet bgs (MW6). No groundwater samples were collected due to insufficient water, or slow recharge after purging. On July 1, 2014 MW5 had 9.3 feet of water, but had slow recharge after bailing 2 gallons of water. Need on going groundwater monitoring of the site monitoring wells, release investigation to define the extent of the soil and groundwater contamination, and corrective action for the remaining contamination. Also need work plan for the treatment of the contaminated drill cuttings generated during the installation of the three new monitoring wells. |

Update or Other Action |
ADEC January 13, 2015 letter requests that the Shoreside Petroleum submit by March 13, 2015, a release investigation work plan (including a schedule for conducting the work) to define the extent of the remaining contamination at this site. ADEC also requests that all of the site monitoring wells (MW1, MW2, MW3, MW4-if accessible, MW4a, MW5, and MW6) be sampled for BTEX, GRO, and DRO along with depth to groundwater, with a report of the results submitted by March 13, 2015. If after purging a monitoring well there is not sufficient water to collect a groundwater sample then the sampler needs to return within 24 hours, and later as necessary to sample that monitoring well once it has recharged to at least 80% of pre-purged volume.
The ADEC letter also requests that Shoreside Petroleum submit by July 1, 2015, a corrective action plan (including a schedule for conducting the work) for the contamination at this site and the drums of drill cuttings generated from the site work documented in the August 2104 Field Summary Report.

Underground Storage Tank Site Characterization or Assessment |
On this date, ADEC received the Underground Storage Tank System Closure Report For Bird Creek Essential One station submitted by Tellus dated May 2020. In August 2019, a total of 50 cubic yards of soil was excavated and stockpiled and a 12,000 gallon regulated gasoline UST was removed from the east side of the Essential One Station building. Three soil samples collected from the floor of the excavation at 12 feet bgs (where the bottom of the UST was located) and one soil sample collected at the building sidewall at 8 feet bgs did not contain contaminant concentrations above ADEC cleanup levels. Two soil samples collected from a center test pit at 16 feet bgs contained DRO up to 570 mg/kg. Three soil samples collected from the 50 cubic yard stockpile contained benzene at 0.25 mg/kg. All soil samples collected were analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The excavation was filled with the 50 cubic yard stockpiled soil, topped with clean imported fill, and capped with pavement. |

Sent RP approval letter for Groundwater Monitoring Plan Rev. 1, dated August 9, 2021. Groundwater samples will be collected from the viable monitoring wells on site that can be located, contain enough water to sample, and do not contain free product. Previous sampling event only wells MW1 and MW2 met these three criteria. The samples will be analyzed for DRO, VOCs, and PAHs. A level loop survey to measure the relative elevations of the tops of all monitoring well casings on the site will be conducted. The purpose of the groundwater sampling is to advance the site towards Cleanup Complete with Institutional Controls. The main objective is to determine groundwater flow direction in both the upper and lower aquifers, monitor the presence of free product in the upper aquifer, and monitor the lower aquifer for contamination migrating down from the upper aquifer. Annual GW sampling expected to continue. |
