Problems/Comments

In 1995 site facilities were upgraded. Following the removal of three existing 10,000-gallon gasoline USTs, confirmation samples were collected from the extent of the excavation and analyzed for GRO, BTEX, and lead. Analytical results indicated that GRO and BTEX were present above migration to groundwater cleanup levels at select sample locations with the highest contaminant concentrations located 10 feet below ground surface (bgs) at the northwest dispenser island at sample location DI1A-S2. New site facilities were installed following the excavation. In 1998 soil borings BH-1 and BH-2 were advanced and samples were collected between 13.5 to 39.5 feet below ground surface. Samples were analyzed for GRO and BTEX and all results were below cleanup levels. In 2003, seven soil boring SB-1 through SB-7 were advanced, and monitoring wells MW-1 through MW-4 were installed at the site. Soil samples were collected between 15 and 36 feet bgs and were analyzed for GRO, DRO, BTEX, and MTBE. Soil boring SB-1 reported the presence of benzene above migration to groundwater cleanup levels at 20 feet bgs and DRO and ethylbenzene at 20 feet bgs in SB-2. In 2006 additional subsurface investigation was completed through the advancement of monitoring wells MW-5 and MW-6, which were advanced to depths of 43 and 44 feet bgs, respectively. Analytical soil samples were collected at these locations between 10 and 36 feet bgs. No cleanup levels exceedances were reported at MW-6 and MW-5 reported migration to groundwater exceedances of DRO, benzene, and ethylbenzene. In 2008 MW-1 (installed to a depth of 23.25 feet bgs) was decommissioned due to insufficient groundwater for sampling and was replaced with MW-1R (installed to a depth of 40 feet bgs). Soil samples collected during the installation of MW-1R were analyzed for GRO, DRO, and BTEX, at four sample depths ranging between 19 and 32 feet bgs. Analytical results indicated that benzene and ethylbenzene exceeded migration to groundwater cleanup levels at 22 feet bgs. ADEC requested additional wells be installed to assess groundwater conditions in the shallower aquifer. Two additional monitoring wells were installed to evaluate the presence of a shallower aquifer at the site. Concurrent with the shallow well installation, confirmation soil boring were advanced to evaluate current contaminant concentrations in soil. One of the planned soil boring locations (SB-9), which was intended to evaluate current concentrations at former sample location DI1A-S2, was not able to be advanced due to site geology and existing infrastructure. Soil sample locations MW-8, MW-9, and SB-8 were analyzed for DRO, GRO, VOCs, PAHs, and lead with all results below the most stringent ADEC cleanup levels.

2/27/2009	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	On October 23, 2008 a replacement monitoring well was installed MW-1R, and monitoring well MW-1 was decommissioned. The decommissioned monitoring well was installed to 23.25 feet below ground surface (bgs) but historically contained insufficient groundwater for sampling. Soil samples were collected during the installation of the replacement monitoring well, up to 4.1 mg/kg benzene (at 21 feet bgs), 9.1 mg/kg GRO, and 52 mg/kg DRO in the soil samples collected. These results are biased low because an air rotary rig was used to drill the monitoring well. Perched groundwater was encountered at 19 feet bgs, with a clay layer at 20 to 21.5 feet bgs. The replacement monitoring well was screened from 25 to 40 feet bgs, and has static water at 30.55 feet bgs.

Up to 1.6 mg/l DRO (MW-5, the highest concentrations since 2005), non-detect (<0.010 mg/l) GRO, and non-detect (<0.0005 mg/l) benzene in groundwater. Contaminant concentrations increased in 2 of the 5 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flow direction is to the northwest. Depth to groundwater is 29.95 to 31.61 feet below ground surface.	Robert Weimer
1/29/2013	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	August 23, 2012 groundwater sampling. Up to 1.1 mg/l DRO, non-detect (<0.010 mg/l GRO), and non-detect (<0.0005 mg/l) benzene in groundwater. Contaminant concentrations increased in 1 of the 5 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flow direction is to the northwest. Depth to groundwater is 30.25 to 33.28 feet below ground surface. The consultant recommends continued semi-annual groundwater monitoring.	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. Chevron is going to submit a plan for the installation and sampling of at least 3 monitoring wells near (2, 3, 5) to assess the shallow groundwater contamination trends and migration. The shallow groundwater was encountered around 20 feet below ground surface, all existing monitoring wells are sampling the deeper groundwater at 30 to 33 feet below ground surface. 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.	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
1/15/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	May 6, 2013 groundwater sampling. Up to 1.8 mg/l DRO, 0.013 mg/l GRO, and 0.00067 mg/l benzene in groundwater. The 1.8 mg/l DRO result was the highest concentration in MW-5 since 2005. Contaminant concentrations increased in 5 of the 5 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flow direction is to the northwest. Depth to groundwater is 29.96 to 32.04 feet below ground surface. The consultant recommends continued semi-annual groundwater monitoring. The samples were collect by both no-purge (Hydrasleeve for volatiles and bailer for non-volatiles) and purge (bladder pump). The Hydrasleeve/bailer samples were collected from the top of water column. Since the sampling interval for the bladder pump was not documented its results are biased low and the no purge sampling may not be representative.	Robert Weimer
2/27/2014	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Meeting with Chevron and their consultants on February 27, 2014. 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 need 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. We discussed that since the correct depth as required in the sampling work plan was not sampled the results are considered biased low and won’t be used for site closure evaluation or trend analysis. Chevron directed their consultant to document the sampling depth in future sampling events and to collected the water samples from as close as possible to the soil/water interface within the top foot in the monitoring wells as specified in the sampling work plan. 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.

5/6/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	September 16, 2013 groundwater sampling. Up to 0.85 mg/l DRO, non-detect (<0.05 mg/l) GRO, and 0.00038 mg/l benzene in groundwater. Contaminant concentrations increased in 0 of the 5 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flow direction was to the north by northwest. Depth to groundwater was 30.09 to 32.54 feet below ground surface. The consultant recommends continued semi-annual groundwater monitoring. The samples were collected with a bladder pump after purging. Since the sampling interval for the bladder pump was not documented its results are considered biased low.	Robert Weimer
2/11/2015	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	April 30, 2014 groundwater sampling. Up to 0.79 mg/l DRO, non-detect (<0.05 mg/l) GRO, and non-detect (<0.00015 mg/l) benzene in groundwater. Contaminant concentrations increased in 0 of the 4 monitoring wells sampled. Monitoring well MW-3 could not be sampled due to ice in the well. Groundwater flow direction was to the north by northwest. Depth to groundwater was 30.27 to 31.39 feet below ground surface. The samples were collected with a bladder pump after purging. Since the sampling interval for the bladder pump was not near the soil/water interface (Up to 1.92 feet below the water surface in monitoring wells MW-1R and MW5) the results are considered biased low.	Robert Weimer
2/12/2015	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	October 1, 2014 groundwater sampling. Up to 1.0 mg/l DRO, non-detect (<0.05 mg/l) GRO, and 0.58 ug/l benzene in groundwater. Contaminant concentrations increased in 5 of the 5 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flow direction was to the north by northwest. Depth to groundwater was 30.20 to 32.92 feet below ground surface. The samples were collected with a bladder pump after purging. Since the sampling interval for the bladder pump was not near the soil/water interface in all of the monitoring wells (Up to 2.38 feet below the water surface in monitoring wells MW2) the results are considered biased low.	Robert Weimer
2/23/2015	Update or Other Action	As discussed with CRA and Chevron in the February 2014 meeting it is critical to have sampling data with good QA/QC to make decisions regarding monitoring frequency and possible site closure. We discussed that there were past problems with documenting the depth of sampling in the monitoring wells at this site and 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 that meeting Chevron directed their consultant to document the sampling depth in future sampling events and to collected the water samples from as close as possible to the soil/water interface within the top foot in the monitoring wells as specified in the sampling work plan. Because of problems with not collecting samples from the as close as possible to the soil/water interface as required (for the 4/30/2014 and 10/1/2014 sampling events the pump intake was up to 2.38 feet below the soil/water interface), the request for a reduction of sampling frequency to an annual basis is not approved. Once we have a monitoring event where the intake for the bladder pump is within 1 foot of the soil/water interface at the time of the sampling in each monitoring well and no other QA/QC problems DEC can review this site for reduction to annual basis for those monitoring wells.	Robert Weimer
4/22/2015	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	DEC review of the 2015 Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling Work Plan for the Chevron Station 91252 site located at 11836 Old Glenn Highway. As discussed this morning and as discussed in previous meetings, it is critical to have sampling data with good QA/QC to make decisions regarding future monitoring frequency and possible site closure.

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.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

On October 23, 2008 a replacement monitoring well was installed MW-1R, and monitoring well MW-1 was decommissioned. The decommissioned monitoring well was installed to 23.25 feet below ground surface (bgs) but historically contained insufficient groundwater for sampling. Soil samples were collected during the installation of the replacement monitoring well, up to 4.1 mg/kg benzene (at 21 feet bgs), 9.1 mg/kg GRO, and 52 mg/kg DRO in the soil samples collected. These results are biased low because an air rotary rig was used to drill the monitoring well. Perched groundwater was encountered at 19 feet bgs, with a clay layer at 20 to 21.5 feet bgs. The replacement monitoring well was screened from 25 to 40 feet bgs, and has static water at 30.55 feet bgs. This replacement monitoring well is sampling groundwater in the 2nd aquifer which the other site monitorings wells are 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 results were providing comparable data or they will switch to no purge for future sampling events. We discussed that the groundwater samples need 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. We discussed that since the correct depth as required in the sampling work plan was not sampled the results are considered biased low and won’t be used for site closure evaluation or trend analysis. Chevron directed their consultant to document the sampling depth in future sampling events and to collected the water samples from as close as possible to the soil/water interface within the top foot in the monitoring wells as specified in the sampling work plan.

Update or Other Action

As discussed with CRA and Chevron in the February 2014 meeting it is critical to have sampling data with good QA/QC to make decisions regarding monitoring frequency and possible site closure. We discussed that there were past problems with documenting the depth of sampling in the monitoring wells at this site and 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 that meeting Chevron directed their consultant to document the sampling depth in future sampling events and to collected the water samples from as close as possible to the soil/water interface within the top foot in the monitoring wells as specified in the sampling work plan. Because of problems with not collecting samples from the as close as possible to the soil/water interface as required (for the 4/30/2014 and 10/1/2014 sampling events the pump intake was up to 2.38 feet below the soil/water interface), the request for a reduction of sampling frequency to an annual basis is not approved. Once we have a monitoring event where the intake for the bladder pump is within 1 foot of the soil/water interface at the time of the sampling in each monitoring well and no other QA/QC problems DEC can review this site for reduction to annual basis for those monitoring wells.

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.

ADEC provided correspondence in response to the Closure Request report which summarizes the site history, discusses potential exposure pathways and receptors, presents cumulative risk calculations, and requests approval to close the site with institutional controls. ADEC concurred with the determination that this site is ready for closure and recommended closure without institutional controls based on the determination that (1) Method 2 Table B1 human health and Table B2 ingestion and inhalation exposure pathway cleanup levels have been achieved to a depth of 15 feet, and CSP has determined the migration to groundwater exposure pathway to be incomplete because contaminants in soil have achieved steady-state equilibrium, will not migrate to groundwater, and do not pose an unacceptable risk for migration to groundwater. (2) Remaining contaminant concentrations in groundwater meet Table C cleanup levels. (3) Cumulative risk standards have been met for an unrestricted residential land use scenario based on the most current, representative data available for the site.
