Problems/Comments

In May of 2004 during a Release Investigation, gasoline range organics (GRO) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) soil and groundwater contamination was encountered downgradient of the 4,000-gallon and 2,000-gallon underground storage tanks located at the facility. Five soil borings were advanced and four were developed into groundwater monitoring wells. On September 25, 2006 approximately 90 cubic yards of contaminated soil was excavated around the existing underground storage tanks and stockpiled on site. The stockpile was removed and treated in 2011. Annual groundwater monitoring has been occurring since 2007. MW-1 was decommissioned in 2018. Soil vapor sampling was conductedin June 2021 and April 2022. All analytes were below target levels. 2022 and 2023 groundwater sampling: Benzene still exceeds cleanup levels in at least one well. In 2022 GRO, ethylbenzene, and xylenes were detected above cleanup levels in MW-2. Additional contaminants of concern (VOCs and PAHs) still need to be investigated.

Benzene was detected above the groundwater cleanup levels in three of the monitoring wells sampled at concentrations of 0.0202 mg/L to 0.245 mg/L. Groundwater levels were higher in the wells, at depths of 2.50 to 5.50 feet from the top of well casings, with increases of 0.58 to 1.33 feet in wells.

Reviewed the Groundwater Monitoring Report, dated June 20, 2014, prepared by Travis/Peterson Environmental Consulting, Inc. The four on-site monitoring wells were sampled on June 4, 2014, with benzene being detected above the groundwater cleanup levels in all four monitoring wells sampled at concentrations of 0.00542 mg/L to 0.0954 mg/L. Groundwater levels were found at depths of 2.80 to 6.20 feet from the top of well casings, with groundwater levels falling from September of 2013 to June of 2014 by 0.30 to 0.70 feet.

ADEC received the 2019 "Groundwater Monitoring Report" on August 9, 2019. This report details the sampling of three wells at the Mill Bay Gas 'n' Go site for gasoline range organics (GRO), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX). Groundwater contaminants exceeding 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup levels include benzene and total xylenes. ADEC provided comments on the report in a letter dated August 30, 2019.

Site Characterization Report Approved

Received the revised 2022 groundwater monitoring report and vapor intrusion report on 1/13/2023 and they are now approved. Sampling was conducted at all four monitoring wells on site, concentrations of benzene were revealed above cleanup levels in three monitoring wells (MW-2, MW-4, and MW-5), and gasoline range organics (GRO), ethylbenzene, and xylenes were detected above cleanup levels in MW-2. Soil vapor sampling was conducted in June 2021 and April 2022, both revealing all analytes below ADEC target levels. Based on these data, ADEC considers the vapor intrusion pathway incomplete. ADEC is requesting a work plan for further groundwater monitoring to include additional potential contaminants of concern (volatile organic compounds/VOCs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons/PAHs) that have not yet been ruled out.

Laboratory analytical results revealed concentrations of benzene above groundwater cleanup levels in three of the monitoring wells (MW-2, MW-4, and MW-5). ADEC is requesting further groundwater monitoring to include additional potential contaminants of concern (volatile organic compounds/VOCs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons/PAHs) that have not yet been ruled out.

Laboratory analytical results revealed concentrations of benzene above groundwater cleanup levels (up to 0.085 mg/L in MW-2) in three of the monitoring wells (MW-2, MW-4, and MW-5). ADEC is requesting further groundwater monitoring to include additional potential contaminants of concern (volatile organic compounds/VOCs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons/PAHs) that have not yet been ruled out.
