Update or Other Action |
DEC approved a plan to transport 230 cubic yards of petroleum-contaminated soil for storage at an old contaminated soil biopile at the Campion Air Station. The contaminated soil was generated during work on Valve Pit #10, located within the JP-4 Fillstands site. The Campion biopiles contain an unknown volume of petroleum-contaminated soils stockpiled in the middle 1990s that underwent incomplete treatment. The Air Force has proposed to treat all of the contaminated soil starting in 2006 via landfarming. |

Update or Other Action |
DEC received the draft Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study. The Air Force is proposing air injection bioventing to remediate petroleum contaminated soils, and additional installation of monitoring wells to better delineate the resultant groundwater plume. Long term monitoring and land use controls would be an integral part of the remedy. DEC comments will be submitted in February. |

3/7/2006 |
Update or Other Action |
The draft risk assessment found unacceptable risk at this site due to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes in soil. The Air Force proposed air-injection bioventing to remediate the petroleum contaminated soil, long term groundwater monitoring (LTM), and land use controls as the remedy. DEC concurred with this remedy, but requested better monitoring well coverage for LTM, and proper design of the bioventing system to help mitigate the potential for vapor intrusion into nearby buildings. |

Site Characterization Workplan Approved |
The Air Force and DEC came to agreement on a work plan for monitoring well installation and sampling that will serve to fill data gaps identified during the recent remedial investigation. One nested well cluster in the “mid-plume” and one monitoring well near the source area will be installed to better establish a sufficient well network for long-term monitoring. The new monitoring wells will also serve to clarify the contribution of source areas that have caused co-mingled plumes of petroleum contamination. |

Update or Other Action |
Monitoring wells were installed in summer of 2006 along the presumed center axis of the dissolved phase hydrocarbon plume emanating from the Vehicle Maintenance Facility area. A nested well was installed at the location of a decommissioned well (southeast corner of the Combat Alert Cell), and another well was installed between the CAC and the presumed source area. Consistent with other deep monitoring wells at the base, the deeper interval well at the CAC cluster contained higher benzene concentrations than the shallower interval. The new monitoring wells seem to support the presumed trajectory of the plume, however, the downgradient edge of the plume remains undifferentiated from the Million Gallon Hill and Missile Storage Area plumes. |
