Chevron sent in RZA report of a continued subsurface petroleum hydrocarbon evaluation of site. Monitoring wells 1, 2, & 3 had benzene 423 ug/L, 278 ug/L, & 3,900 ug/L respectively. MW-4 was 0.3 ug/L (all EPA method 602). It was suggested that the product source location to be (or have been) within the subsurface on site soils. No wells within 500' but at least 1 domestic well 1000' from site(7/15/88 Chevron letter to DEC). |

RZA report received well MW-7 was highest in benzene at 6,000 ug/L and off site well MW-12 located 100' N of northwest corner of property 180 ug/L benzene. 9/89 MW-12 had decreased to 0.16 mg/l benzene & highest level of benzene is now in MW-1 at 4.48 mg/l. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
RZA groundwater sampling results received. RZA states that some of the effects of the groundwater levels & petroleum hydrocarbon levels may result from the operation of the onsite vapor extraction system connected to MW-2, MW-2, 6, 7, & MW-8. 7/30/90 results show MW-2 at 7.84 mg/l benzene & MW-7 went to 2.02 mg/l benzene. |

At the request of the project manager, the quality assurance officer was onsite to observe ground water sampling. The sampling was observed over a two day period on 9/21/09 and in the morning of 9/22/09. The second day was required becasue a MW is located in the parking lot and access was needed while the buisness was closed. Aric Frohman and Russ Griesler from Arcadis performed low flow sampling at the site. Samples were collected and analyzed for GRO, BTEX, methane, alkalinity, nitrate, sulfate, EDB, and 1,2-DCA. |

Meeting with Chevron and their consultants. MW2 is to be sampled for PAH the next monitoring event. Chevron to provided an revised workplan for oxygen injection that includes adding MW-2 and MW-6 if the injection into the air sparge wells does not have adequate radius if influence. Chevron said that their site access agreement has expired along with the one for the Sears property. They are currently negotiating new agreements. The remediation system remains off because the no longer have site access to operate and monitor it. We discussed that groundwater samples for volatiles should not be collected with bailers or peristaltic pumps due to the loss of volatiles, Chevron is to provide a workplan specifying how groundwater samples will be collected in the future. |

Monitoring well MW-11R and MW-12 were not accessible. Samples were collected by no purge using disposable bailers. Because volatile samples were collected using a bailer the results are considered biased low. |

Update or Other Action |
Email message to RP's consultant that monitoring well (MW-11R) that appears to have been paved over needs to be located and either put back into use or properly abandoned in accordance with DEC’s Monitoring Well Guidance. DEC also noted that the second semi-annual groundwater sampling report for this site and it noted that all of the water samples were collected using bailers. As DEC has discussed in the previous meetings with the RP and their consultant, to minimize the loss of volatiles during sample collection the volatile samples are supposed to be collected using an in well pump, bladder pump, or Hydrasleeve. DEC again requests that this is done in all future sampling events. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Meeting with Chevron and their consultants on 2/27/2014. Chevron has access to the Sears property and has located MW-11R, the SVE system is currently down for maintenance. 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. After reviewing the results of the May 2014 groundwater sampling event the consultant may be requesting a reduction in ground water monitoring and/or abandonment of the SVE system. They still need a frozen ground soil gas sampling event to help evaluated the vapor intrusion pathway. Since they were only able to install two gas probes and one of them is more than 10 feet from the building, they may need to install additional soil gas probes to assess the vapor intrusion pathway. In the future they will need to evaluate for a diving plume on the monitoring wells far from the release point. The consultant will make sure that their site reports are complete in accordance with DEC’s 9/23/2009 Site Characterization Work Plan and Reporting Guidance for Investigation of Contaminated Sites. |

Request to decommission the existing SVE system is not approved. As DEC discussed with Chevron in our meeting on 2/27/2014 there has been problems with the groundwater monitoring at this site in demonstrating that the appropriate internal has been sampled in the groundwater monitoring wells. Without representative groundwater data we can’t evaluate whether active remediation would not be needed to address the remaining contamination. Once we get representative groundwater data we can evaluate the request to decommission the existing remediation system or whether the existing system needs to be enhanced/replacement system needs to be installed to address the remaining contamination at this site. |

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 VOC sampling needs to include the full 8260 VOC list including naphthalene. |

2019 First Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring event was conducted on April 15, 2019. Groundwater samples were collected from monitoring wells MW-2, MW-7, and MW-8. MW-6 was not sampled due to an obstruction in well. Samples were submitted to the laboratory for GRO, DRO, and BTEX. Groundwater flow direction was to the east and depth to groundwater was 9.45 to 10.97 feet below ground surface. During this sampling event, attempts were made to locate wells AS-1, MW-1, and MW-11R - these wells appear to have been paved over. |

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. |
