Problems/Comments

1,000 gallon underground heating oil tank had visible holes upon removal. Soil field screening of the excavation segregated 20 cubic yards to an on-site lined stockpile. Complete removal of contamination limited by facility structure at west wall of pit where DRO in soil was detected at 2,800ppm. Material contaminated with heating oil is located beneath the main building adjacent to the site of the former heating oil UST. Volume is estimated at 30 cubic yards; a vent pipe is located adjacent to the former UST site and the east side of the building for addition of in-situ bioremedial chemicals.

5/7/2003 Institutional Control Record Established The following Institutional Controls are established for this property until such time that contaminant concentrations in soil are shown to meet the most stringent cleanup criteria. These Institutional Controls were verbally reviewed with the current property owner representative Natalie Cheeseman on May 8, 2003. Contaminated material shall be investigated and appropriately managed or removed in accordance with ADEC cleanup requirements at such time if and when it becomes accessible through major structural modifications or demolition of current structures on the property. Groundwater supply wells will not be installed on the property without prior notification and approval of the DEC. Bruce Wanstall
5/7/2003 Long Term Monitoring Established Concentrations of 2,800ppm DRO were detected in the Site Assessment pit closure soil samples from the west wall of the excavation. The soil contamination extending beneath the main building from the former location of the heating oil UST was estimated at 30 cubic yards. Corrective action prior to closing the pit included the addition of fertilizer to promote in-situ bioremediation of the residual contamination. Fifty pounds of ordinary garden fertilizer was added to backfill soils and a 20-foot length of 4-inch perforated PVC pipe with a vertical chimney was installed along the west wall to provide aeration. Additional contaminated material shall be investigated and appropriately managed or removed in accordance with DEC cleanup requirements at such time if and when it becomes accessible through major structural modifications or demolition of current structures on the property. Groundwater supply wells will not be installed on the property without prior notification and approval of the DEC. Bruce Wanstall
