Leaking Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Initiated - Petroleum |
Report summarizing closure of USTs #2, 6, 7, and 8 received on this day. Approximately 50 cy of soil was excavated in order to remove the tanks. No additional contaminated soil was excavated. No groundwater was encountered in the excavations which extended to a maximum depth of 6 feet. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Received and reviewed Shannon and Wilson report dated Feb. 2003. Report outlines remedial investigation of contaminant levels in soil, drinking water well and perched groundwater table. Downward migration of contaminant is limited by a silt layer. 30 cubic yards of soil was stockpiled, but the excavation was limited by proximity to buildings. Contamination remains in the soil beneath all of the former tanks, and has migrated under the buildings due to a perched water table. Shannon and Wilson installed 5 monitoring wells (MW’s) at the site, several samples from these MW’s did exceed DRO clean up levels. The report recommends continued monitoring and possible vapor extraction of soil around the buildings. Updated GIS. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Groundwater Sampling report received. DRO still exceeds cleanup levels in MW-3, in addition, metals analysis of groundwater samples show exceedences for lead and arsenic. These analytes could be due to tailings used to construct the gravel pad. No PAH analytes were recorded above cleanup levels. Shannon & Wilson reccommends further monitoring, as all accessible source material has been removed. |

Site Visit |
PM accompanied Mark Lockwood (S&W) and Darren Mulkey (ADOT M&O) on a site visit of the facility. The old USTs were converted to AST which do not appear to meet current regulations. In addition to the former UST's, an out of service buried heating oil tank (HOT) may be contributing to groundwater contamination at the site. The HOT was not removed during previous site work because a corridor connecting the two shop buildings was constructed over the top of it. |

Update or Other Action |
Received updated site history from Darren Mulkey: Sometime in the early 1990's a fuel delivery person mistook the drinking water well for a heating oil tank and put a truck load(?) of fuel into the well. ADOT drilled the present drinking water well upgradient of the site. It was recently discovered that the new well is not on State property. The property owner wants ADOT to quit using the well. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
2006 Groundwater monitoring report received. MW-1, and MW-2 continue to detect petroleum hydrocarbon contamination below the clean up levels. MW-3 downgradient of the backup generator buildings contained 25 mg/L DRO. MW-4, and MW-5 had slight exceedences for DRO as well. Arsenic, Cadmium and Lead also exceed cleanup levels in groundwater in MW-3. The facility is built on mine tailings and it has not been established whether these contaminants are from activities at the site. |

Site Characterization Report Approved |
Received Summary Report for groundwater smapling at the Livengood Maintenance Station from Shannon & Wilson. MW-1 was not destroyed. The shop sink and new drinking water well were smapled along with the remaining monitoring wells. DRO remains above groundwater cleanup levels in MW-3 at 11.1 mg/L. Arsenic and lead were found in MW-3, MW-5, and the new water well at concentrations above groundwater cleanup levels. S&W suggested metal concentrations may be more elevated in wells with high turbidity and recommend filter samples for comparison. A long-term management plan was developed that recommends annual groundwater monitoring until DRO is below cleanup levels.
S&W also recommend characterizing soil in the area of two recently removed ASTs and two ASTs planned for removal in 2010, developing a corrective action plan for soil near former USTs #2 and #7, and sampling the well at the northern property boundary again and decommissioning if appropriate. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
DEC staff met with DOT staff (Clark Milne and Sam Meyers) about the groundwater monitoring and long-term management plan completed in 2009. |

DEC contracted with Shannon & Wilson to collect groundwater samples, sample two on-site drinking water wells (new well and an unused well), and characterize soil south and east of the generator building where leaks or spills are suspected to have occurred from ASTs. The ASTs east of the generator building were located where former USTs #2 and #7 were located, thus any contamiantion is comingling. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Met with Sam Myers (DOT), Jeff Russell (DOT Dalton District), and DEC term contractor (Rodney Guritz; S&W) to discuss planned sampling at the Livengood Maintenance Station. Two drinking water wells were installed for the facility, but were capped and are not being used because of the iron content. Drinking water is currently coming from off-site under an agreement with the adjacent property owner. The station may be moved in the future due to permitting issues associated with mining exploration by Talon Gold. The ASTs east of the shop where S&W plans to sample have not been moved yet, but DOT will coordinate with S&W on moving them. DOT stopped using the tanks because fuel inventories indicated 120 gallons was missing and it was not clear if the tanks leaked or if fuel was stolen. |

Site Characterization Workplan Approved |
Shannon & Wilson submitted workplan to excavate 15 test pits in the areas of the generator building and former fuel dispenser/ASTs, sample the former(unused) on-site water supply well northeast of the facility, and sample three existing monitoring wells. DEC approved workplan with additional request for PAH analysis in fuel dispenser area. |

Update or Other Action |
Shannon & Wilson notified DEC that they are attempting to dig test pits in Livengood, but the ground is too frozen, even with an ice bucket. DEC approves changing the scope to bring out a drill rig to collect samples instead of using test pits. S&W also indicated the water table in the unused drinking water well is possibly more than 200 feet below ground surface, confirming that the monitoring wells are installed in a perched aquifer seperate from the drinking water aquifer. Due to the depth of the water in the unused drinking water well, DEC approves not sampling it. |
