Problems/Comments

Service station began operations in 1970. Samples taken during the May 1999 UST removals revealed DRO and HVOCs beneath the used oil and heating oil USTs. GRO was detected beneath the gasoline tanks and associated product lines. After excavation, nine areas still exceeded soil cleanup levels (up to 417 mg/kg benzene and 12,000 mg/kg GRO) and ground water contamination remain, some near the active UST system. 1,500 tons of excavated contaminated soil was treated at ASR in 1999. Later in 1999 four monitoring wells were installed (up to 3 mg/kg benzene and 929 mg/kg GRO at the soil/water interface in two of the monitoring wells). Two more monitoring wells were installed in 2001 off property to the south and west. Chevron continues to monitor the groundwater at the site. A Phase I assessment noted that the property was used as a dry cleaner in the 1960's (Snow White Cleaners was there in 1969, and another dry cleaner company in 1963).

Robert Weimer
7/14/2010	Site Visit	Site visit to observe soil borings and soil sample collection by CRA consulting. Samplers include Andy Ellsmore, Tim Bunn, and Siobahn Fackelman.	Brenton Porter
7/30/2010	Update or Other Action	DEC receives notification that for the 7/14/10 soil confirmation sampling the bar-codes on the sample jars got damaged and the lab could not retrieve the weight of the jar. An average weight of the batch of jars was used to calculate the results. They propose to redo the sampling work on September 5th. DEC contacted the consultant and said that resampling would not be needed if they provide documentation of the range of weight of jars. DEC will review whether the range in weight was significant enough to elevate the sample results over site cleanup levels. This would result in the savings of thousands of dollars of resampling costs.	Robert Weimer
8/4/2010	Update or Other Action	DEC receives documentation of the range of weight of jars from the 7/14/10 confirmation soil sampling. The range in weight was not significant enough to elevate the sample results over site cleanup levels. Resampling is not required.	Robert Weimer

2/6/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Between July 14, 2010 and August 5, 2010 eight soil borings were sampled to check current contamination concentrations in the soil at the site. Up to 1,300 mg/kg GRO (300 mg/kg cleanup level), 0.063 mg/kg tetrachloroethane (PCE) (0.024 mg/kg cleanup level), and 1.6 mg/kg benzene (0.025 mg/kg cleanup level) was identified as remaining at the site. Four of the eleven locations sampled exceeded cleanup levels for benzene, and two locations exceeded cleanup levels for GRO. The highest concentrations were in the soil/water interface at 16 feet below ground surface (bgs) on the south side of the property just east of monitoring well MW-3. The PCE contamination is located at 8 feet bgs near the former used oil tank.	Robert Weimer
3/1/2012	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Meeting with Chevron and their consultants on 2/28/12. Chevron's request for cleanup complete with IC's was not appoved. Chevron is to submit a workplan for conducting a release investigation for the PCE soil contamination at SB1 that is to inlude the installation of a monitoring well in that area. After a review of the results of the release investigation they may need to collect soil gas samples. They are to continue semi-annual groundwater monitoring.	Robert Weimer
7/13/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	The Well Installation Workplan is approved under the following conditions: 1. The soil and groundwater samples be analyzed for the full list of VOC’s (8260B), not just PCE. 2. An additional soil sample be collected at the highest field screening depth between 9 feet below ground surface (bgs) and the soil water interface. 3. That the vacuum truck be used to clear the borehole no greater than 6 feet bgs. 4. The soil sample collected at 8 to 9 feet bgs not be collected from auger cuttings. A spilt spoon or coring device needs to be used to collect an undisturbed sample. 5. The VOC and GRO groundwater samples be collected using a low flow submersible pump, bladder pump, or hydrasleeve.	Robert Weimer
8/17/2012	Offsite Soil or Groundwater Disposal Approved	ADEC approves offsite treatment of contaminated purge water.	Robert Weimer
12/20/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	May 23, 2012 groundwater sampling event. Up to 0.5 mg/l DRO, 1.8 mg/l GRO, and 7.5 ug/l benzene in the groundwater. Contamination concentrations increased in 2 of the 3 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flows to the southwest. Depth to groundwater is 13.49 to 16.11 feet below ground surface. Results are biased low because samples were not preserved in the field.	Robert Weimer
2/14/2013	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	July 31, 2012 groundwater sampling event. Up to 0.89 mg/l DRO, 2.9 mg/l GRO, non-detect (<0.5 ug/l) 1,2-DCA, 1.0 ug/l PCE, and 6.8 ug/l benzene in the groundwater.

Depth to groundwater is 13.42 to 16.03 feet below ground surface.	Robert Weimer
2/27/2013	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Meeting with Chevron and their consultants on 2/26/13. Chevron proposes to continue to conduct semi-annual groundwater monitoring to monitor for natural attenuation and trends. The next monitoring event they will sample all of the site monitoring wells (MW1-7 and 9) for HVOCs (method 8260). The next groundwater sampling event they will sample both using no purge and purge help evaluate that the past no purge results were providing comparable data. We discussed that all semi-annual monitoring events need to be at least 120 days apart. Based on the HVOC sample results Chevron may need to do a vapor intrusion assessment.	Robert Weimer
3/26/2013	Update or Other Action	DEC conditionally approves the use of a portable activated carbon (gac) filter system for this site to treat water generated during groundwater monitoring. The storage of water at the site or the secure storage area at 1441 C Street is also approved.	Robert Weimer
5/21/2013	Update or Other Action	Consultant called to notify ADEC that the recent ground water samples were over temperature and outside holding times. They will have the samples analyzed and note in the report that those samples mat be biased low. ADEC will review the results of the split samples to determine if another split sample event will be needed.	Robert Weimer
6/27/2013	Site Visit	Site visit to observe current site conditions.	Robert Weimer
1/2/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	On July 23, 2013 monitoring well MW-9 was installed and sampled. MW-9 is located just to the west of soil boring SB-1 that had 0.063 mg/kg PCE at 8 feet bgs when it was sampled on August 5, 2010. Soil samples were collected and analyzed at 9, 12, and 17 feet bgs. Groundwater was encountered at 17 feet bgs. Up to 0.24 mg/kg PCE, non-detect (<0.6 mg/kg) GRO, and non-detect (<0.033 mg/kg) benzene in the soil samples collected. The highest concentration was at 9 feet bgs. The soil sample collected at the soil/water interface had 0.06 mg/kg PCE. The consultant recommends that all site monitoring wells be sampled for PCE. Because of the remaining PCE soil contamiantion next to the station building, soil gas, sub-slab, or indoor air sampling is needed to evaluate the indoor air pathway.	Robert Weimer
1/21/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	May 23, 2013 groundwater sampling event. Up to 1.5 mg/l DRO, 1.7 mg/l GRO, 46 ug/l PCE, and 8.5 ug/l benzene in the groundwater. Samples may be biased low because samples were over temperature and analyzed outside of holding times. Contamination levels increased in 5 of the 7 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flows to the north. Depth to groundwater is 12.12 to 15.72 feet below ground surface. Groundwater samples were collected by both no-purge with hydrasleeves, and purge with a bladder pump. The sampling interval for the bladder pump was not documented in the field notes. The hydrasleeve sampling was from the top of the water column. Monitoring well MW3 had 4.4 ug/l benzene with purge, but 8.5 ug/l benzene with no-purge. Monitoring well MW2 had 0.75 mg/l DRO, 1.7 mg/l GRO, and 46 ug/l PCE with purge, but 1.5 mg/l DRO, 0.43 mg/l GRO, and 18 ug/l PCE with no-purge.	Robert Weimer
2/13/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	September 17-18, 2013 groundwater sampling event. Up to 1.8 mg/l DRO, 0.68 mg/l GRO, 24 ug/l PCE, and 1.3 ug/l benzene in the groundwater.

2/20/2014	Update or Other Action	Vapor Intrusion Evaluation Report - PCE in soil and groundwater above cleanup levels within 30 feet of the station building. Consultant recommends VI investigation in 2014, with a work plan to be submitted in the spring of 2014.	Robert Weimer
2/27/2014	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Meeting with Chevron and their consultants on 2/27/2014. They plan to continue semi-annual groundwater monitoring including HVOC's. They will submit a work plan for the installation of soil vapor probes and soil gas sampling. Because of problems with last year’s purge/no-purge sampling the next groundwater sampling event they will sample both using no purge and purge help evaluate that the past no purge. We discussed that the groundwater samples needs to be collected as close as possible to the soil/water interface, with the pump intake within a foot of the soil/water interface at the time of the sampling. In the future they will need to evaluate for a diving plume on the monitoring wells far from the release point. The consultant will provide more information in their site reports in accordance with DEC’s 9/23/2009 Site Characterization Work Plan and Reporting Guidance for Investigation of Contaminated Sites.	Robert Weimer
4/29/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	DEC provided review comments on proposed soil vapor probe installation work plan 1. Need three soil gas sample locations per building. 2. Why 9 feet depth to top of well screen? Depths and locations should be based on building survey. If slab on grade building the top of the screen should be 5 feet below ground surface. 3. Need to discuss how you will measure helium to ensure leak test passes. Need to measure helium under the shroud or container as well as at end of sample train during purging. 4. Need to provide more detail regarding collection of duplicate sample. Ideally a duplicate and primary summa will both be attached in-line to sample train and thus, soil gas samples will be collected simultaneously. 5. If vac truck or air knife is used within 5 feet vertically or horizontally of a soil probe screen interval then need to wait at least 1 week before collecting soil gas sampling instead of the 48 hours proposed in the work plan. 6. No soil analytical samples are requested as part of the soil gas probe installation. 7. Need a completed building survey form with the report, but need item #5 information on the form for the work plan.	Robert Weimer
5/1/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	DEC reviewed revised soil vapor assessment work plan. The Chevron building is slab on grade, three soil gas probes are to be installed with a screened interval starting at 5 feet below ground surface. The revised work plan is approved under the condition that helium is also measured at the end of the sample train during purging. Probes are to be installed on 5/2/2014 and to be sampled one or two weeks later.	Robert Weimer

9/5/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Phase I assessment identified that a drying cleaning businesses operating on this property in the 1960's, including Snow White Cleaners in a 1969 listing. The service station underground storage tanks were installed in 1970.	Robert Weimer
9/8/2014	Update or Other Action	Updated the address for this site from 1456 West Northern Lights Blvd. to 1465 West Northern Lights Blvd.	Robert Weimer
11/13/2014	Conceptual Site Model Submitted	Conceptual site model identified soil/groundwater soil ingestion and inhalation of indoor/outdoor air pathways.	Robert Weimer
2/10/2015	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	May 1, 2014 groundwater sampling event. Up to 0.54 mg/l DRO, 1.6 mg/l GRO, 32 ug/l PCE, and 4.8 ug/l benzene in the groundwater. Contamination concentrations increased in 2 of the 7 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flows to the north this monitoring event. Depth to groundwater was 12.40 to 15.82 feet below ground surface. Groundwater samples were collected after purging with a bladder pump. Because the bladder pump intake was not within the top foot of the water column (it was 1.98 to 2.04 feet below the water surface) the results are considered biased low.	Robert Weimer
4/27/2015	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	September 23, 2014 groundwater sampling event. Up to 0.48 mg/l DRO, 1.2 mg/l GRO, 51 ug/l PCE, and 5.2 ug/l benzene in the groundwater. Contamination concentrations increased in 7 of the 7 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flows to the southwest this monitoring event. Depth to groundwater was 11.76 to 15.44 feet below ground surface. Groundwater samples were collected after purging with a bladder pump. Because the bladder pump intake was not within the top foot of the water column (it was 1.97 to 2.01 feet below the water surface) or it was not documented (MW-2) the results are considered biased low.	Robert Weimer
4/27/2015	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	ADEC concurs with April 2015 Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling Work Plan recommendation to reduce groundwater monitoring to semi-annual for the 7 site monitoring wells for HVOCs and (GRO/DRO/BTEX) in monitoring wells MW-2, MW-3, MW-6, MW-7, and MW-9.

Update or Other Action

DEC receives notification that for the 7/14/10 soil confirmation sampling the bar-codes on the sample jars got damaged and the lab could not retrieve the weight of the jar. An average weight of the batch of jars was used to calculate the results. They propose to redo the sampling work on September 5th. DEC contacted the consultant and said that resampling would not be needed if they provide documentation of the range of weight of jars. DEC will review whether the range in weight was significant enough to elevate the sample results over site cleanup levels. This would result in the savings of thousands of dollars of resampling costs.

Because of problems with last year’s purge/no-purge sampling the next groundwater sampling event they will sample both using no purge and purge help evaluate that the past no purge. We discussed that the groundwater samples needs to be collected as close as possible to the soil/water interface, with the pump intake within a foot of the soil/water interface at the time of the sampling. In the future they will need to evaluate for a diving plume on the monitoring wells far from the release point.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

DEC provided review comments on proposed soil vapor probe installation work plan 1. Need three soil gas sample locations per building. 2. Why 9 feet depth to top of well screen? Depths and locations should be based on building survey. If slab on grade building the top of the screen should be 5 feet below ground surface. 3. Need to discuss how you will measure helium to ensure leak test passes. Need to measure helium under the shroud or container as well as at end of sample train during purging. 4. Need to provide more detail regarding collection of duplicate sample. Ideally a duplicate and primary summa will both be attached in-line to sample train and thus, soil gas samples will be collected simultaneously. 5. If vac truck or air knife is used within 5 feet vertically or horizontally of a soil probe screen interval then need to wait at least 1 week before collecting soil gas sampling instead of the 48 hours proposed in the work plan. 6. No soil analytical samples are requested as part of the soil gas probe installation. 7. Need a completed building survey form with the report, but need item #5 information on the form for the work plan.

Meeting or Teleconference Held

Meeting with Chevron's consultant. They will provide an updated site figure showing estimated extent of soil contamination for each of the following: over maximum allowable, over human health, and over migration to groundwater. May need confirmation soil sampling to document current concentrations. They will provide a work plan for conducting additional vapor intrusion assessment during frozen and non-frozen ground conditions. DEC requested that site reports be submitted within 60 days of sampling, VOC analysis include naphthalene, and groundwater monitoring figure include diagram showing historic groundwater flow direction.

April 22, 2019 groundwater sampling event. Up to 0.13 mg/l DRO, 0.093 mg/l GRO, 0.3 ug/l benzene, 14 ug/l PCE, 0.8 ug/l TCE, 0.6 ug/l cis-1,2-Dichloroethene, 3 ug/l Ethylbenzene, 2.0 ug/l Toluene, 1.0 ug/l Xylenes, 11 ug/l Chloroform (not in trip blank) in the groundwater. PAH analysis was not conducted. DRO and other VOCs were non-detect. Contamination concentrations increased in 5 of the 5 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flows to the south by southwest this monitoring event. Depth to groundwater was 12.68 to 16.88 feet below ground surface. Groundwater samples were collected after purging with a bladder pump. The samples were not collected from the top foot of the water column as required so the results may be biased low. Missing Naphthalene results for the 8260 analysis. They Naphthalene results have been requested.

ADEC conditionally approves the January 21, 2020 Soil Vapor Investigation Work Plan for Chevron #91356, 1465 West Northern Lights Boulevard site. The condition is that the samples are analyzed for the full list of TO-15 compounds instead of just PCE as proposed. The work plan proposes to collect soil gas samples from the 3 existing soil vapor probes (SVP-1, SVP-2, and SVP-3) during frozen and non-frozen ground conditions in 2020.

Update or Other Action

ADEC requests for this site that the monitoring wells are purged prior to sampling, and that the intake of the bladder pump/in-well pump be documented in the field notes to be within the top foot of the water column at the time of the sampling. Also all BTEX and VOC sampling needs to include the full 8260 VOC list including naphthalene. ADEC is also requesting that all reports be submitted within 60 days of the sampling and the groundwater monitoring figure include a diagram showing historic groundwater flow directions.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

DEC reviewed 2020 groundwater sampling plan and provided the following comments: For all future monitoring events please make sure that the field notes document the measurement of the pump intake that is within the top foot of the water column at the time of the sampling unless the top of the well screened interval is deeper, then in that case from the top foot of that screened interval. For all future monitoring events any monitoring well where BTEX or HVOC sampling is proposed it needs to be the full VOC (method 8260) list, including naphthalene. The field QC samples are per day of sampling at a site. For all future monitoring events all reports be submitted within 60 days of the sampling and the groundwater monitoring figure include a diagram showing historic groundwater flow directions. For all future monitoring events if a monitoring well is low yield and purges dry then a sample will still need to be collected that monitoring event once the monitoring well has recharged to approximately 80% of its pre-purge volume. If it has not returned to 80% of its pre-purged volume during that sampling day DEC requests that you return to the site early the next day to attempt to collect the water sample.
