Problems/Comments

In October of 1995, three underground storage tanks, piping, and distribution systems were removed. Petroleum impacted soil and groundwater was discovered during the tank removal. Presently, soil and groundwater downgradient of the former location of the storage tanks, piping, and distribution systems meets the Department's most stringent cleanup levels. The levels of benzene in soil and groundwater upgradient of the original source of contamination do not presently meet the Department's most stringent cleanup levels. F.K.A L55.210

10/1/2004 Update or Other Action On 10/1/04, DEC received from S&W: 1) 6/15/04 report from ASR showing 53.56T of pet. Soil was treated to Level A 2) request to transport 1 drum of soil from MW B15 to ASR. DEC on 10/1 approved the transportation request. Rich Sundet
10/1/2004 Long Term Monitoring Established Received Soil Boring and Groundwater Sampling Report. Three new wells were installed on the eastern edge of property to investigate whether an upgradient source of contamination exists. Benzene was detected at a level of approximately 0.01 mg/L in two of the three wells installed, which supports the argument for an upgradient source of contamination. Todd Blessing
1/26/2005 Conditional Closure Approved Record of Decision (ROD) submitted to responsible party. ROD states that there is benzene contamination remaining above the established cleanup levels in the soil and groundwater southeast of the former USTs, piping, and the fuel distribution systems. The remaining contamination is likely due to contaminant migration from adjacent properties. The low levels of benzene in soil and groundwater on the eastern portion of the property, which are only slightly above established cleanup levels, are expected to be treated over time via natural attenuation. As a result, the Department has determined that the levels of contaminants of concern at Tudor Car Wash pose no risk to human health or the environment. In November 2005 , well decommissioning report confirmed that on-site drinking water wells were decommissioned; Therefore, this site is closed effective December 2, 2005. Todd Blessing
1/26/2005 Institutional Control Record Established Once the Department is notified that the remaining monitor wells on the site are decommissioned, a site action will be entered on the Department’s database to reflect that the site is closed. Todd Blessing
