Problems/Comments

In 1994, the 250-gallon AST (diesel fuel) was removed from its concrete cradle. Petroleum stains were observed at the west end of the tank location beneath the drain penetration. Approximately 0.8 cubic yards of potentially contaminated soil was excavated. Two soil samples (0.5’ and 1.5’ bgs) were collected at the west end of the excavation, and one sample was collected at 0.5’ bgs from the east end of the excavation. All samples were analyzed for DRO. One sample at the 0.5’ depth from the west end of the excavation contained 420 mg/kg DRO but the deeper sample at the 1.5’ depth (west end) and the sample on the east end were non-detectable. Last staff assigned was Williams.
