Review of Ground Water Monitoring Report December 2011, AmeriGas Propane, L.P. ADEC UST Facility #0101, dated May 28, 2012.The report noted that ground water sampling occurred on December 6 & 7, 2011. The report shows that:Ground water results from G-1 and G-2 are above 18 AAC 75.345 cleanup levels for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) (except for G-2 that did not exceed for xylene) and gasoline range organics (GRO). Ground water results from G-3 are above 18 AAC 75.345 clean up levels for benzene only. Benzene concentrations are above ground water cleanup level (GCL) of 0.005 mg/L to 0.45 mg/L. Toluene concentrations ranged from 2.7 mg/L to 23 mg/L, GCL is 10 mg/L. Ethylbenzene concentrations ranged from 1.2 mg/L to 4.3 mg/L; GCL is 0.7 mg/L.
Xylene concentrations from G-1 23 mg/L; GCL is 10 mg/L. GRO concentrations ranged from 39 mg/L to 100 mg/L; GCL is 1.3 mg/L. Depth to groundwater was 20.01 feet below ground surface (bgs) to 49.69 feet bgs with a historical flow to the South.
While contamination has generally been in a downward trend in the three monitoring wells that still have exceedances to 18 AAC 75.345 (i.e., G-1, G-2 and G-3) during the December 2011 sampling event benzene showed an increase in concentrations (G-1 and G-2) from the prior sampling event in July 2009. On this basis, DEC requests that a summer 2012 ground water sampling be conducted at the site. DEC also requests that a bailer not be used to collect groundwater samples. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
The Contaminated Sites Program (CSP), has completed its review of the subject report. The groundwater monitoring report was received at our Anchorage office by e-mail on April 29, 2013. The report presents the sampling results from the groundwater sampling that occurred on September 11, 2012. On September 11, 2012, seven groundwater samples and one duplicate were collected from monitoring wells G1 thru G-3 and G-9 thru G-12. Groundwater samples were analyzed for diesel range organics (DRO); gasoline range organics (GRO); and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). Groundwater samples from G-1, G-2, and G-11 had constituents above their 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup levels. Groundwater samples from the remaining wells did not exceed their 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup levels. Groundwater flow was to the south, southeasterly direction with an average gradient of 0.1 foot/foot.
DRO concentrations ranged from less than (<) 0.80 mg/L to 2.2 mg/L
Concentrations that exceeded their cleanup levels are bolded below.
Results from G-1:
• GRO concentration of 100 mg/L and 1.6 mg/L (duplicate), cleanup level is 2.2 mg/L.
• Benzene concentration of 0.45 mg/L, cleanup level is 0.005 mg/L.
• Toluene concentration of 14 mg/L, cleanup level is 1.0 mg/L.
• Ethylbenzene concentration of 3.8 mg/L, cleanup level is 0.7 mg/L.
• Xylenes concentration of 23 mg/L, cleanup level is 10.0 mg/L.
Results from G-2 are listed below:
•DRO concentration of 2.2 mg/L, cleanup level is 1.5 mg/L.
•Benzene concentration of 0.0098 mg/L and 0.018 mg/L (duplicate), cleanup level is 0.005 mg/L.
Results from G-11 are listed below:
•Benzene concentration of 0.037 m/L, cleanup level is 0.005 mg/L.
CSP Requests
CSP requests that a groundwater sampling event occurs in the summer of 2013. Please determine at the time of sampling the groundwater flow direction and gradient. CSP also suggests that you may want to discuss with your consultant the potential decommissioning of groundwater monitoring wells that have a history of no exceedances.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
The ADEC reviewed the September 2014 Groundwater Monitoring Report, dated December 4, 2014. Six groundwater monitoring wells (G-1, G-3, and G-9 through G-12) and the water supply well were sampled in September 2014. Monitoring Well G-1, which is the most contaminated well, exhibited a concentration of GRO at 38 mg/L, DRO at 4 mg/L, benzene at 0.31 mg/L, toluene at 1.9 mg/L, and ethylbenzene at 0.75 mg/L; all of which exceed the ADEC groundwater cleanup levels outlined in 18 AAC 75.345, Table C. The SVE system, which is connected to Wells G-1 through G-3, was shut down in June of 2012 and remains off. Except for Well G-1, the results of this event generally revealed an increase in contaminant concentrations. |

Reviewed the April 2015 Groundwater Monitoring Report, dated July 31, 2015. Five groundwater monitoring wells (G-1, G-3, and G-10 through G-12) and the water supply well were sampled on April 28, 2015. Monitoring Well G-1, which is historically the most contaminated well, exhibited a concentration of GRO at 36 mg/L, DRO at 5 mg/L, benzene at 0.42 mg/L, toluene at 2.2 mg/L, and ethylbenzene at 0.77 mg/L; all of which exceed the ADEC groundwater cleanup levels outlined in 18 AAC 75.345, Table C. The SVE system, which is connected to Wells G-1 through G-3, was shut down in June of 2012 and remains off. Well G-10, which has not shown elevated contamination above groundwater cleanup levels since 2004, exhibited a concentration of 3.8 mg/L benzene and 8.4 mg/L GRO. In a letter dated, August 4, 2015 ADEC requested biannual groundwater monitoring in 2016 and 2017 at this site. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Reviewed four separate groundwater monitoring reports for the AmeriGas Petrolane site, all of which were received on June 4, 2018. The individual reports received by ADEC are the: May 2016 Groundwater Monitoring Report, dated August 11, 2016; the October 2016 Groundwater Monitoring Report, dated December 26, 2016; the April 2017 Groundwater Monitoring Report, dated June 30, 2017; and the October 2017 Groundwater Monitoring Report, dated December 18, 2017.
All reports documented the results of ongoing semi-annual groundwater monitoring activities for 9 wells (G-1 through G-3, G-9 through G-12, and NRG-1 and NRG-2) and the onsite drinking water well. Wells NRG-1 and NRG-2 are new monitoring well installed in 2017. Well G-2 is typically dry and was not sampled during the 2016 and 2017 events. Wells G-9 and G-12 are sporadically dry, and cannot always be sampled, although Well G-9 was sampled during October 2016 and 2017 events. Well G-12 was dry in May 2016 and could not be located during any other sampling events. It is likely that the well was destroyed during road construction projects. Well G-1 was not sampled in April 2017 because LNAPL was present in the well. Generally, results of the 2016 and 2017 sampling events indicate that continued groundwater monitoring and operation of the soil vapor extraction (SVE) system should occur in 2018.
The reports suggests that several off-property sources may exist, such as the contamination near Wells G-1, G-9 and G-11. Although this may be the case, it is your responsibility to delineate the current extent of the plume and provide evidence for the referenced off-site sources.
ADEC concurred with the report recommendations for continued groundwater monitoring, but also requested additional wells to determine the full extent of the groundwater plume boundary, specifically to the north, west and southwest, as well in the direction of the off-site sources adding to the contamination.
