Problems/Comments

Soil and groundwater contamination was discovered during service station facilities upgrades in 1989 seven underground storage tanks were removed and five replacement tanks were installed. Gasoline and diesel constituents, and trace amounts chlorinated solvents identified in used oil tank excavation. Up to 2,080 mg/kg GRO, 1,990 mg/kg DRO, 7.5 mg/kg benzene, and 0.144 mg/kg PCE in the samples collected. 738 tons of contaminated soil was excavated and thermally treated. Three monitoring wells were installed in 1989. Groundwater is about 20 feet below the surface and seasonally flows in the northwest to southwest direction. A water well survey in 1990 identified two drinking water wells in the area and they were sampled and found free of petroleum contamination. Two more monitoring wells installed in 1990. Groundwater sampling was conducted quarterly in 1990, and 1991, then annually in 1992, 1993, 1995, and 2000. Based on the groundwater concentrations declining to cleanup levels groundwater sampling was suspended in 2000. Soil confirmation samples are to be collected when the active underground storage tank system is removed. On January 2008 six soil borings were sampled as part of a Phase II assessment. Up to 0.030 mg/kg benzene and non-detect PAHs, PCBs, GRO, DRO, and RRO in the soil samples collected and up to 2.06 mg/l DRO, 0.121 mg/l GRO, 0.668 mg/l RRO, 874 ug/l lead, 24.2 ug/l cadmium, 2,940 ug/l chromium, 1.04 ug/l benzene, and non-detect PAHs (except for 0.124 ug/l naphthalene and 0.121 ug/l phenanthrene), and non-detect PCBs in the two groundwater samples collected. On July 2008 five underground storage tanks, their associated piping and two hydraulic hoists were removed. Contamination over migration to groundwater cleanup levels was found at three of the tanks. One of the three tank areas (the used oil tank) was cleaned up after excavating additional contaminated soil, but some benzene soil contamination was left at gasoline tank #1 (0.0325 mg/kg benzene) and gasoline tank #4 (0.0296 mg/kg benzene). Seven site monitoring wells were decommissioned in 2008 during site redevelopment. In May 2010 on additional monitoring well was installed to help define the extent of the groundwater contamination at this site. In October 2011 additional release investigation work was conducted to check current contaminant concentrations in soil at the site. The soil samples collected were below migration to groundwater cleanup levels, including non-detect for PAHs and PCE. In October 2012 three monitoring wells were decommissioned and a replacement monitoring well MW-3R was installed and sampled to replace damaged monitoring well MW-3. The initial groundwater sampling of the replacement monitoring well MW-3R had 1.62 mg/l DRO, but subsequent groundwater samples were non-detect and below groundwater cleanup levels. That monitoring well was decommissioned in June 2016. The contamination in the soil and groundwater above cleanup levels discovered during the initial tank excavation in 1989 or during the tank excavation work conducted in 2008, were not detected above cleanup levels after additional cleanup activities and monitoring were conducted at the site. Site closure letter issued on August 25, 2016.

The monitoring well that had previously shown contamination over cleanup levels was not sampled this event because it was damaged. Depth to groundwater is 17 to 18 feet below ground surface. Groundwater flow direction was to the northwest. Need continued quarterly groundwater monitoring to establish trends and replace monitoring well MW-3 so it can be sampled.	Robert Weimer
2/13/2013	Offsite Soil or Groundwater Disposal Approved	ADEC approves request for transport and treatment of 1 drum of contaminated monitoring well purge water and 2 drums of contaminated soil.	Robert Weimer
2/14/2013	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	On October 21, 2012 replacement monitoring well MW-3R was installed. As per the approved work plan no soil samples were collected. Groundwater samples are to be collected in the future.	Robert Weimer
3/22/2013	Update or Other Action	ADEC is requesting that all sites where there has been no purge groundwater sampling conducted during the last year, that for the next sampling event that they do both no purge then purge sampling from each monitoring well, so we evaluate on a site specific basis whether no purge sampling has provided comparable data. The post purge well sampling for VOCs would need to be conducted via hydrasleeve, bladder pump, or in well pump. Non VOC sampling can be collected with a bailer or peristaltic pump (in addition to the VOC methods) if desired. The specific sampling methods will need to be documented in the report and included field notes. If there is not enough time to do this adjustment for the planned sample event of March 26-April 4, then we request it be done on the following event.	Robert Weimer
4/5/2013	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	June 13, 2012 groundwater monitoring event. Only monitoring well MW-6 was sampled and it was non-detect for benzene and GRO. The monitoring well that had previously shown contamination over cleanup levels was not sampled this event because it was damaged. Depth to groundwater is 17 to 18 feet below ground surface. Groundwater flow direction was to the southwest. Need continued quarterly groundwater monitoring to establish trends and replace monitoring well MW-3 so it can be sampled. The monitoring well was purged prior to sampling with a bladder pump.	Robert Weimer

Update or Other Action

ADEC is requesting that all sites where there has been no purge groundwater sampling conducted during the last year, that for the next sampling event that they do both no purge then purge sampling from each monitoring well, so we evaluate on a site specific basis whether no purge sampling has provided comparable data. The post purge well sampling for VOCs would need to be conducted via hydrasleeve, bladder pump, or in well pump. Non VOC sampling can be collected with a bailer or peristaltic pump (in addition to the VOC methods) if desired. The specific sampling methods will need to be documented in the report and included field notes. If there is not enough time to do this adjustment for the planned sample event of March 26-April 4, then we request it be done on the following event.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

June 13, 2012 groundwater monitoring event. Only monitoring well MW-6 was sampled and it was non-detect for benzene and GRO. The monitoring well that had previously shown contamination over cleanup levels was not sampled this event because it was damaged. Depth to groundwater is 17 to 18 feet below ground surface. Groundwater flow direction was to the southwest. Need continued quarterly groundwater monitoring to establish trends and replace monitoring well MW-3 so it can be sampled. The monitoring well was purged prior to sampling with a bladder pump.

July 23, 2012 groundwater monitoring event. Up to 2.8 mg/l RRO (1.1 mg/l cleanup level), 0.8 mg/l DRO (1.5 mg/l cleanup level), and non-detect GRO in the groundwater samples collected. The monitoring well that had previously shown contamination over cleanup levels was not sampled this event because it was damaged. Depth to groundwater is 17 to 18 feet below ground surface. Groundwater flow direction was to the southwest. Groundwater contamination concentrations increased in 0 of the 3 monitoring wells sampled. The monitoring wells were purged prior to sampling with a bladder pump.

June 5, 2013 groundwater monitoring event. Only the new replacement monitoring well MW-3R was sampled this event it was non-detect for benzene, GRO, DRO, and RRO. Depth to groundwater was 17.91 feet below ground surface. Groundwater flow direction is historically to the northwest to southwest. The monitoring well was sampled both no purge with hydrasleeve and purged prior to sampling with a bladder pump. The sample intervals were not documented in the field notes or in the report so the results are considered biased low.
