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. 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. 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. |

DEC approves suspending all groundwater monitoring for monitoring well MW-14, GRO in all wells, and DRO in OS-2. DEC does request that all of the monitoring wells sampled during the next monitoring event to be also sampled for full VOCs (method 8260) and PAHs (method 8270). |

June 6-7, 2018 groundwater monitoring event. Up to 17.0 ug/l benzene and 1.9 mg/l DRO in groundwater. Other VOCs were non detect or below cleanup levels. MTBE was non-detect and PAH samples were below cleanup levels except for naphthalene which was 2 ug/l (1.7 ug/l cleanup level). Contamination concentrations increased in 3 of the 6 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flow was to the northwest. Depth to groundwater was 10.68 to 14.17 feet below ground surface in the monitoring wells sampled. The groundwater was sampled using bladder pump after purging, and was sampled at the top of the water column as required. Method 8260 naphthalene results were not provided. |

October 16, 2018 groundwater monitoring event. Up to 14.0 ug/l benzene and 2.8 mg/l DRO in groundwater. Other VOCs were non detect or below cleanup levels. Contamination concentrations increased in 3 of the 6 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flow was to the northwest. Depth to groundwater was 10.69 to 14.18 feet below ground surface in the monitoring wells sampled. The groundwater was sampled using bladder pump after purging, and was sampled at the top of the water column as required. Full method 8260 results were not provided. |

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. |

April 11, 2019 groundwater monitoring event. Up to 10.0 ug/l benzene and 2.2 mg/l DRO in groundwater. Other VOCs were non detect or below cleanup levels. Contamination concentrations increased in 0 of the 6 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flow was to the northwest. Depth to groundwater was 10.69 to 14.18 feet below ground surface in the monitoring wells sampled. The groundwater was sampled using bladder pump after purging. Because the pump intake was not sampled within the top foot of the water column as required the results may be biased low. Full method 8260 results were not provided. |

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 is also requesting that all reports be submitted within 60 days of the sampling and the groundwater monitoring figure include a diagram showing historic groundwater flow directions. |

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. |

2020 First Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring event was conducted on April 6, 2020. Groundwater samples were collected from monitoring wells MW-1R, MW-2R, MW-11R, MW-15 and OS-2. Well OS-3 was obstructed by ice at 5.7 ft and was not able to be sampled. Samples were submitted to the laboratory for VOCs and DRO analysis. Groundwater flow direction was to the north-northwest and depth to groundwater was 12.5 to 12.49 feet below ground surface. |
