11/21/2005 Site Closure Approved Work on two underground storage tanks (USTs) at this site occurred in 1995, and is documented in the report Fuel Storage Tank Decommissioning Assessments. One UST (9-A-1), an inactive 500 gallon diesel tank, was removed along with 1/3 cubic yard of petroleum-contaminated soil. 6 confirmation samples were collected and analytical results showed that the petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations were below default cleanup levels. UST (9-A-2), an inactive 1100 gallon gasoline tanks, was abandoned in place and 5 cubic yards of petroleum-contaminated soil were removed. Two confirmation samples were collected and showed that the petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations were below the default cleanup levels. ADEC determines that no further action is required.
