They will prepare a work plan for DEC review and request a waiver of the independent sampler as this work should lead to closure of the two sites. Debra Caillouet

Confirmation samples presented conflicting results, the primary sample contained diesel range organics (DRO) at 30,000 mg/kg and residual range organics (RRO) at 56,000 mg/kg. The Quality Control Sample and Quality Assurance Sample contained 2400 and 4960 mg/kg DRO and 5800 and 15,400 mg/kg RRO.

12/29/2009 Update or Other Action A revised Inventory Project Report (INPR) was received for the Northway Staging Field. The US Army Corps of Engineers has divided the staging field into four projects so that closures of the individual sites within the staging field can be counted. One project consists of the OU1 and OU3 sites that have already been closed by DEC, the next contains OU4 and OU5 sites that are ready for closure. The third project is the Ham Lake site that requires a Feasibility Study, Proposed Plan and Decision Document. The last project includes four areas that have data gaps that need to be resolved, Areas 4, 24, 26 and 48. Debra Caillouet
