ARCADIS BBL will install a permanent sampling vapor probe containing two sample lines set at five feet and nine feet below ground surface. This probe will be installed near MW-6 which is the location of the highest remaining volatile groundwater concentrations at the site. The proposed work is tentatively scheduled for late July. Former Staff
1/17/2008 Update or Other Action DEC received the ARCADIS Soil Vapor Assessment Report for Former Chevron 211079. Results indicate concentrations of benzene in the vapor probe exceed the EPA screening level of 0.98 ppb by volume. Vapor sampling will be conducted again in the spring of 2008 ,an ambient air sample will also be collected. Tamara Cardona-Marek
8/7/2008 Update or Other Action Received call from member of the Church that owns the property. Church wants to put a fence and is willing to provide access for monitoring or a key. Inquired about the status of the site. Tamara Cardona-Marek
12/9/2008 Update or Other Action ADEC received the Annual 2008 Groundwater Monitoring Report and the 2008 Vapor Intrusion Assessment. Volatiles detected in soil gas were all below screening levels. No further vapor intrusion assessment is needed at this time. Groundwater monitoring results indicate GRO is present in MW-9 (located at a residence) at concentrations of 19.6 ppm, DRO, benzene and ethylbenzene also above cleanup levels. GRO in MW-1, MW-4, MW-6, MW-11 and MW-10 also above cleanup levels. Highest benzene in MW-6 at 44ppb. No recommendations were submitted by Arcadis. Tamara Cardona-Marek
3/13/2009 Meeting or Teleconference Held ADEC discussed with Arcadis and Chevron the status of the site. ADEC requested that additional soil vapor sampling is done at the residential property where MW-9 is located. ADEC requested that MNA parameters are measured and that additional petroleum contaminants are included as part of the TO-15 analysis. ADEC also pointed out the need to confirm the status of the soil at the source area, since it has not been sampled since prior to the installation of the treatment system. Tamara Cardona-Marek
5/11/2009 Proposed Plan ADEC received the Work Plan for Additional Soil Vapor Assessment. Work Plan proposes the placement of a vapor probe at the residential property where MW-9 is located at. Tamara Cardona-Marek
7/16/2009 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other ADEC received and reviwed the Addendum to the Work Plan for Additional Soil Vapor Assessment. Arcadis plans to use TO-15 and TO-17 to analyze vapor samples for all petroleum-related volatile compounds. Plan has been approved. Tamara Cardona-Marek
7/16/2009 Update or Other Action A potential buyer of the residence where well MW-9 is located contacted DEC for information regarding his responsibility and involvement if he purchased the property. Buyer is concerned that DRO levels seem to have increased over the past 4 years. Howevere, only 3 DRO samples are available and no particular trend can be predicted. DEC indicated that, at the time, the DRO is considered part of the gasoline spill. DEC also indicated that vapor probes are scheduled to be installed on the property and installation includes screening of soil and sample collection. Buyer may consider hiring an environmental consultant to sample soil around the heating oil tank to make sure there are no leaks. Tamara Cardona-Marek
2/1/2010 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC received the 2009 Vapor Assessment and Annual Groundwater and MNA Report for the Texaco site at 1501 South Cushman. Contaminant concentrations seem to have decreased from previous sampling events. GRO, DRO and benzene concentrations remain above cleanup levels in MW-5, MW-9, and MW-10 (except DRO). Benzene was the only contaminant above cleanup levels in MW-11 and MW-6. A soil vapor probe was installed near the residence where MW-9 is located. No contaminants were detected above the residential screening levels. Geochemical parameter concentrations indicate the plume is anaerobic. Tamara Cardona-Marek
3/12/2010 Meeting or Teleconference Held DEC met with CRA and Chevron to discuss the actions for the site in 2010. CRA will submit a CSM and a site assessment workplan to investigate the soil in the source area. Annual groundwater monitoring and sampling will be completed also. Tamara Cardona-Marek
5/26/2010 Update or Other Action DEC requested that Chevron sample for sulfolane one well within the source area to determine if sulfolane may be a COC. Tamara Cardona-Marek
10/4/2010 Site Characterization Workplan Approved DEC received from CRA a work plan to conduct soil sampling by installing soil borings on the property near the areas where soil contamination has been identified in the past. A maximum of 5 soil borings will be installed. DEC approved the work plan after requested revisions were submitted. Tamara Cardona-Marek
2/24/2011 Meeting or Teleconference Held DEC met with Chevron to discuss the proposed 2011 site activities. CRA is planning to conduct additional subsurface investigation near MW-6. Will review old subsurface data before submitted a workplan to make sure levels in soil require additional investigation. Tamara Cardona-Marek
2/28/2011 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC received and reviewed CRA's subsurface investigation report. CRA installed and sampled soil borings near the dispenser islands and former tank locations. No contamination identified. However, soil boring locations are not the locations that were in the final approved workplan from October 2010. Tamara Cardona-Marek
7/8/2011 Site Characterization Workplan Approved DEC approved the continuation of the work proposed in 2010 (soil boring across the street near MW-6) that was not finalized in 2010 due to access issues. Tamara Cardona-Marek
8/2/2011 Site Visit Site visit with DEC intern, Chevron and consultant during groundwater monitoring activities. Tamara Cardona-Marek
8/2/2011 Meeting or Teleconference Held DEC met with Chevron and consultant to discuss issues with access to the cross-gradient property and how this may impact site closure in the future. Tamara Cardona-Marek
1/27/2012 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC received the Annual 2011 Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling Report. Results are consistent with those from recent monitoring events. DRO and GRO exceeded cleanup levels in wells MW-5 and MW-9. Highest DRO and GRO concentrations were 3.7 and 5.9 ppm respectively for well MW-5. Benzene was above the cleanup level at 0.0078 in MW-5 also. Tamara Cardona-Marek
2/29/2012 Meeting or Teleconference Held DEC met with Chevron and CRA to discuss actions to be completed in 2012. Last soil boring near MW-6 will be installed and soil sampled from this offsite location. An updated conceptual site model will be submitted. Tamara Cardona-Marek
5/2/2012 Update or Other Action DEC received a request from the adjacent (north-vacant) property owner to remove monitoring wells from property for property transfer. CRA verified that the wells have had several sampling events with no detections. Decommissioning will take place this summer. Tamara Cardona-Marek
9/6/2012 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Revised Well Decommissioning Work Plan has been received and approved. Tamara Cardona-Marek
12/31/2012 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC received and reviewed the Groundwater monitoring and Sampling report and the Groundwater Monitoring Well Decommissioning Report from CRA. DRO and GRO were detected above groundwater cleanup levels in MW-5 and MW-9. Benzene was above cleanup levels in MW-1, MW-5, MW-9, MW-10, MW-11, and MW-13. MNA parameters were taken; dissolved oxygen was high in some source area wells, which may indicate that microbes are not active and not breaking down contaminants. Alternatively, infiltration of recent precipitation may be increasing dissolved oxygen content in these wells. The well decommissioning report indicates that MW-13 was decommissioned as previously approved, despite the presence of benzene. Robert Burgess
2/27/2013 Meeting or Teleconference Held DEC met with Chevron and CRA to discuss current status and future work. MW-13 had benzene detection but was decommissioned as previously approved. This field season will include decommissioning MW-6 after sampling in order to avoid further issues with access. Additional locations for wells to replace MW-6 and MW-13 will be identified this season. Also discussed getting better MNA data by sampling in winter when aquifer is near steady state and less likely to be affected by infliltration of precipitation or fluctuating water tables. Robert Burgess
7/17/2013 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC received and reviewed the Soil Vapor Extraciton and Air Sparge System Decommissioning Workplan. The AS/SVE wells will be decommissioned according to procedures in the Monitoring Well guidance, and horizontal piping will be capped and left in place. Robert Burgess
7/23/2013 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC approved of the revised AS/SVE system decommissioning workplan. Wells will be decomissioned according to DEC's monitoring well guidance preferred methods, horizontal piping will be capped and left in place, and system equipment will be decomposed. Excavation activities will include field screening of soil. Robert Burgess
7/29/2013 Update or Other Action DEC project manager recieved a call from CRA personnel who were in the field decommissioning the remedial system. The field technician stated that the manifold piping was not as was described in the workplan; rather, piping entered the ground and "elbowed" at 90 degrees, and therefore the piping could not be decomissioned as described in the workplan (by removing vertical sections and capping horizontal sections in place). Instead, vertical sections of piping were filled with hydrated bentonite after approval from the ADEC project manager. Vertical sections were then capped with PVC caps. Robert Burgess
1/14/2014 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC reviewed the Annual 2013 Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling report. Hydrocarbon concentrations remain above cleanup levels in source area wells as well as MW-9 and MW-10. Natural Attenuation parameters may indicate that biodegradation is occurring, however data quality concerns including analyses out of hold times result in uncertainty in making this determination. Robert Burgess
1/16/2014 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC reviewed the Remediation System Decommissioning report dated December 2013. The report describes the decomissioning of the AS/SVE system that has been inactive for several years. Manifold pipes were removed and vertical piping was decomissioned by filling with bentonite. Some large system components remain on site and will be removed in 2014. The report did not document deviations from the workplan including the filling of vertical piping with bentonite. The report stated that AS/SVE points will be decommissioned in 2014, however it did not state why the decommissioning could not occur on schedule. Robert Burgess
2/26/2014 Meeting or Teleconference Held DEC project manager met with Chevron and their consultants, CRA. Chevron has a new project manager who attended the meeting. The remedial system has been decommissioned, with the exception of air sparge and soil vapor extraction wells, which will be decommissioned in the 2014 field season. Access issues to property containing MW-6 and VP-1 persist. DEC agreed to assist in contacting the property owner to help gain access to the property in order to decommission the well and vapor point and to take a single confirmation boring for soil sampling. MW-13 will also be replaced during the field efforts in 2014. Robert Burgess
4/1/2014 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other The DEC reviewed and approved the February 2014 Revised Remediation System Decommissioning Report. The revised report addressed work plan deviations and indicated decommissioning was to occur in the spring of 2014 to reduce drill rig mobilization costs. Robert Burgess
6/12/2014 Site Visit DEC received a call from field technicians working at the site during decommissioning of air sparge and soil vapor extraction wells. The well construction was not what the technicians expected, and the DEC project manager visited the site with a copy of the 1995 remedial system installation report to assist. Through discussion, CRA and DEC decided to decommission wells using pressure grouting instead of the methods described in the workplan. Robert Burgess
6/13/2014 Site Visit DEC visited the site to observe AS/SVE well decommissioning with pressure grouting. Since no as-builts were available for the system piping, field staff were unsure of well connections, however pressure grouting appeared to fill horizontal piping and well connections were discovered. Robert Burgess
1/26/2015 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC reviewed the Well Installation and Decommissioning Report dated January 2015. On June 13, 2014 one soil boring was completed and a monitoring well, MW-14, was installed in the boring to determine if contaminants were moving downgradient. Analysis of soil samples from the boring did not detect contaminants of concern above cleanup levels. MW-14 could not be developed and sampled due to road construction. Two soil vapor extraction wells (V-1 and V-2) and seven air sparge wells (SP-1-through SP-7) were decommissioned. Onsite DEC approval was required to seal horizontal piping extending from the wells that were not anticipated in the original work plan. Pressure testing of each well was conducted to verify appropriate seals were in place. Well casings were cut two feet below ground, sealed and capped with gravel and concrete. Robert Burgess
2/24/2015 Meeting or Teleconference Held ADEC project manager met with Chevron and CRA via teleconference. MW-14 was installed but not sampled due to road construction in summer 2014. Negotiations are still underway for access to downgradient property on which MW-6 and VP-1 are located; Chevron is optimistic about gaining access this field season. Current plans for field work include replacing VP-2 and investigating vapor intrusion pathways for the property to the north of the source area, sampling VP-1 and MW-6, installing borings near MW-6 to evaluate soil, and continuing with groundwater monitoring but switching to annual sampling instead of semi-annual. If access to property across Cushman St. is granted as a one-time access, MW-6 and VP-1 will be decommissioned after sampling. Robert Burgess
4/23/2015 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other The 2015 Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling Work Plan was reviewed and approved. Robert Burgess
5/12/2015 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC reviewed and approved the Soil Vapor Probe Decommissioning Work Plan with requested modifications including requirements to backfill voids properly and photo document the decommissioning process. Robert Burgess
9/28/2015 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC approved of the August 2015 Revised Soil Vapor Sampling Work Plan with conditions that field measurements including leak detection measurements be included in field notes, and a minimum of 48 hours notification be provided to DEC prior to conducting leak checks or sampling the soil gas probes to allow the DEC to conduct a site inspection. Todd Blessing
2/24/2016 Meeting or Teleconference Held Teleconference meeting between ADEC and Chevron consultants from GHD. soil vapor probe VP-2 was sampled, results will be presented in a report. Planned work for 2016 include groundwater and SVE sampling, and a one-time sampling of MW-6 and VP-2, which will then be properly abandoned. Reports will be submitted to the DEC after sampling. Shawn Tisdell
6/21/2016 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other The Annual 2015 Groundwater Monitoring Report prepared by GHD was reviewed by the DEC. The DEC concurs with GHD to continue annual groundwater monitoring in 2016 and to suspend groundwater sampling of wells MW-1 and MW-4 as contaminants of concern have not been observed in those wells for several years. Wells will be resurveyed in 2016. Off-property well MW-9 slightly exceeded the GRO cleanup level and the newly developed well MW-14R exceeded benzene cleanup levels (0.062 mg/L vs a 0.005 mg/L cleanup level). MW-5 was the only on site well to exceeded cleanup levels (DRO and GRO). The DEC recommends the RP to modify the groundwater monitoring work plan to include naphthalene as it may exceed the new proposed cleanup levels. Another round of groundwater monitoring will take place in 2016. Shawn Tisdell
8/23/2016 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other The DEC reviewed and approved the "Soil Vapor Assessment Report" received on July 18. According to the report, soil vapor probe VP-2 was sampled in September of 2015, and February of 2016, in accordance with DEC approved 2014 Soil Vapor Sampling Plan. No benzene has been detected above ADEC target levels in any soil vapor samples collected at the site. Site access was not granted to GHD personnel for VP-1 during these sampling events. We concur with GHD recommendations that after offsite access is granted, an additional soil vapor sample should be taken from VP-1 and then both VP-1 and VP-2 can be decommissioned. Shawn Tisdell
10/4/2016 Meeting or Teleconference Held Met with adjacent property owner impacted by groundwater contamination from the site to discuss property access to sample wells on their property. Shawn Tisdell
10/6/2016 Meeting or Teleconference Held Meeting with RP and consultant on multiple Chevron sites to discuss current site status and upcoming site action. Shawn Tisdell

DRO (3.68 mg/L), GRO (2.81 mg/L), 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (0.233 mg/L), and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (0.159 mg/L) exceeded cleanup levels at MW-5. Rebekah Reams
4/12/2023 Long Term Monitoring Workplan or Report Review ADEC approved the Groundwater Sampling Analyte Reduction Request - Groundwater Sampling Work Plan Addendum following comment resolution. This document proposes to increase the sampling frequency from annual to semi-annual and to update the sampling plan to include GRO, DRO, BTEX, lead, naphthalene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (TMB), 1,3,5-TMB, 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) and 1,1,2-trichloroethane (1,1,2-TCE) at monitoring wells MW-2, MW-5, MW-6, MW-9, MW-10, MW-11, and MW-14R. Groundwater monitoring is tentatively scheduled to occur in June and October. Rebekah Reams
12/29/2023 Long Term Monitoring Workplan or Report Review 2023 First Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring event was conducted on June 6, 2023. Groundwater samples were collected from monitoring wells MW-5, MW-6, MW-10, MW-11 and MW-14R. MW-2 and MW-9 had ice blocking the well casing and could not be sampled. Groundwater flow direction was to the north and depth to groundwater was 11.74 to 13.61 feet below ground surface. Benzene (9.97 ug/L) exceeded cleanup levels at offsite well MW-14R. All other results were below cleanup levels. Rebekah Reams
