Problems/Comments

On October 18 and 19, 1993 three 10,000-gallon jet aviation fuel, aviation gasoline and 100 low lead gasoline, and one 1,000-gallon regular unleaded gasoline underground storage tanks were removed. Free product was observed on the groundwater during tank removals, and approximately 600 gallons of free product was skimmed off the water surface into a pumper truck. The groundwater is approximately 6.5 to 7 feet below ground level. Levels of 1.2 dichloroethane in two of the test pits also exceeded the maximum contaminant levels of 0.005 parts per million (ppm). Levels of extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (EPH) in soil exceed the allowable level based on the matrix score sheet. On March 18, 1992, the Department sent a Notice of Release letter to Mr. Dan Pitts (contact person) requesting corrective action be taken at this site. June 1999, 220 cubic yards of contaminated soil is transported to a temporary soil burning facility on K Beach Rd, then thermally remediated.
