| 2/17/2010 | Site Characterization Workplan Approved | Reviewed and approved TPECI's January 2010 Spill Cleanup Sampling Plan and February 2010 addendum letter. Addendum contained waste characterization results for VOCs, GRO, DRO, and RRO. Additional waste characterization sample recommended by TPECI to differentiate historical contamination from spilled product. | Janice Wiegers |
| 2/23/2010 | Update or Other Action | Received report from TPECI with lube oil sample results. Lube oil was tested using EPA Method 8260 in order to characterize the spilled material. No compounds were detected in this analysis, however, detection levels remained above DEC cleanup levels. | Janice Wiegers |
| 5/25/2010 | Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other | DEC received Spring 2010 Soil Confirmation Sampling report from TPECI. Oil stained soil was remove by hand during the week of April 23, 2010. The substance spilled was identified in the report at Guardol QLT Motor Oil, a product of 76TM Lubricants. An material safety data sheet was provided. The final excavation measured 368 square feet. Four soil samples were collected from the areas with the highest PID readings and tested for VOCs, DRO, and RRO. The highest results in Sample 1, near the northeast corner of the excavation. DRO was the only compound exceeding DEC cleanup levels with a concentration of 6310 mg/kg. TPECI indicated that they believed the DRO was associated with historic spills and was not associated with this spill. | Janice Wiegers |
| 9/9/2010 | Update or Other Action | Letter sent to Sourdough Fuel requesting additional information about drums of waste generated during initial response, depth of hand excavation, and amount of contaminated soil removed. Chromatograms were also requested. | Janice Wiegers |
| 9/21/2010 | Update or Other Action | Letter from TPECI submitted responding to DEC letter. TPECI indicated that 295 gallons of lubricant were recovered and approximately 390 gallons of water from oil impacted snow. The oily water was disposed of in the on-site oil/water separator. Contaminated soil was removed to 6 inches below grade and stored in seven 55-gallon drums. Waste characterization sample collected from soil contained DRO and RRO above DEC soil cleanup levels. VOCs were present but below cleanup levels. | Janice Wiegers |
| 4/18/2019 | Cleanup Complete Determination Issued | ADEC sent a Cleanup Complete Determination letter to the RP. There are no institutional controls for this site. The contaminated area is limited and concentrations of contamination are below ingestion and inhalation cleanup levels but above the migration to groundwater cleanup levels. Although residual soil contamination remains above the migration to groundwater cleanup level, ADEC has determined that contamination in soil is at steady state equilibrium and will not migrate to groundwater. | Megan Roberts |
| 4/18/2019 | Exposure Tracking Model Ranking | A new updated ranking with ETM has been completed for source area 78839 300-gal HT/4 Transmission Fluid Spill. | Megan Roberts |
