We make every effort to ensure the data presented here is accurate based on the best available information currently on file with DEC. It is therefore subject to change as new information becomes available. We recommend contacting the assigned project staff prior to making decisions based on this information.

Problems/Comments

Contamination was first identified in soil and groundwater during a 1997 site assessment. In 1998 site facilities were upgraded and the existing underground storage tanks, dispensers, product piping, and contaminated soil were removed and excavation confirmation samples were collected. Additional site characterization and cleanup activities have included the advancement of soil borings, installation of monitoring wells and soil vapor probes, and collection of soil, groundwater, and soil gas samples as well as the application of oxygen injections into monitoring wells to enhance natural attenuation. Groundwater monitoring continues on a semi-annual schedule.

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. They will submit a work plan for the removal of the soil gas probes. 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 results were providing comparable data or they will switch to no purge for future sampling events. 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.

3/12/2020 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 requests that PAH analysis be conducted in all of the monitoring wells to be sampled. Robert Weimer
3/17/2020 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. DEC also requested PAH analysis for all site monitoring wells to be sampled. Robert Weimer
