Problems/Comments

Three (3) underground storage tanks were removed in 1995 as documented in the Fuel Storage Tank Decommissioning Assessments, dated 1995. Tank 9-C-1 was an inactive 500 gallon gasoline tank that was removed along with 12 cubic yards of petroleum-contaminated soil. Six (6) confirmation samples were collected and analytical results showed that the petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations were below the department’s default cleanup levels. Tank 9-C-2 was also an inactive 500 gallon gasoline tank that was removed along with five (5) cubic yards of petroleum-contaminated soil. Five (5) confirmation samples were collected and analytical results showed that the petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations were below the department’s default cleanup levels. Tank 9-C-4 was an inactive 1000 gallon diesel tank that was removed along with 35 cubic yards of petroleum-contaminated soil. Six (6) confirmation samples were collected and analytical results showed that the petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations were below the department’s default cleanup levels. In the Site Cleanup and Investigation Report, dated 1996, the removal of one (1) cubic yard of petroleum-contaminated soil is documented to have occurred on the north and west sides of the building. Four (4) confirmation samples were collected and analytical results showed that the petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations were below the department’s default cleanup levels.
