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

The owner/operator illegally removed an underground storage tank (UST) system from this property, without providing the required prior notification to ADEC. No tank closure assessment report has ever been provided to ADEC, even though the environmental consulting firm performed an after-the-fact tank closure site assessment, and provided the owner/operator with a written report. ADEC staff were told that petroleum contamination was detected at concentrations exceeding ADEC soil cleanup levels during the tank closure assessment work. ADEC sent a letter to the owner/operator requesting a copy of the Shannon & Wilson tank closure assessment report, but never received any response. Last updated 2/6/2006.

2/25/2008 Exposure Tracking Model Ranking Initial ETM site ranking completed. Paul Horwath
9/18/2014 Update or Other Action Clarence Abeldgaard, the land owner and liable party, has never responded to ADEC's request for submission of the Shannon & Wilson tank closure assessment report. Without that report, ADEC has no contaminant concentration data, and no way to evaluate risks posed by the site. A formal enforcement action might, or might not, result in the report being provided to ADEC. A future property transaction is the most likely scenario that could prompt and fund the work and reporting required to complete assessment work at this site. Paul Horwath
