Groundwater Monitoring Report dated Sept 15, 2006 was received by ADEC on Sept 18, 2006. The report summarizes the results of the April 19, groundwater monitoring event. Nine monitoring wells were installed in 2003. This April, 2 wells, GEI-3, and GEI-5, contained free product, at respective thickness of 0.53 feet and 0.74. Product was removed from the wells, but no attempts were made at ongoing product recovery. Four wells, were not sampled because they were covered with snow and ice. Of the remaining 3 wells, two contained DRO and BETX analytes above the MCL. The extent of contaminant migration has not been established at the site. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
DEC met with Chevron and Arcadis to discuss actions for 2012-2013. An updated conceptual site model will be completed to identify any existing data gaps. Monitoring will be reduced to once a year and dataloggers will be installed on monitoring wells to obtain a year-round trend. Socks to recoved free product will be tested to see how they perform at the site. Clean-up plan is pending since data gaps need to be identified first. |
Tamara Cardona-Marek |
| 11/2/2012 |
Update or Other Action |
DEC received and reviewed the First Semi-Annual 2012 Groundwater Monitoring Report. LNAPL was present in wells GEI-5, GEI-6, GEI-7, GEI-9, MW-1, GEI-1, GEI-3, GEI-4, MW-3, MW-8 and RW-1. GEI-8 and MW-9 were not sampled due to obstructions in the wells. DRO exceeded cleanup levels in well MW-5. Sampling at the site will continue on an annual basis. DEC commented on the report and requested additional conclusions on the included graphs and MNA parameters. |
Tamara Cardona-Marek |
| 4/29/2013 |
Meeting or Teleconference Held |
DEC met with Chevron, Arcadis, and a representative from FIA to discuss the status of the site. There is measurable product in the majority of the wells onsite. Arcadis and DEC agree that the plume is not fully delineated downgradient of the current wells on site. Additional wells are planned to the northwest, but there are concerns about interfering with the Everts air operation as monitoring wells may need to be placed in an area in which airplanes taxi and maintanence is conducted. The current plan is to use grab samples (GeoProbe) or UVOST to delineate the current plume and help determine areas to place wells. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC reviewed the Remedial Action Plan submitted by ARCADIS. The proposed remedial plan consists of placing institutional controls on the site, including a prohibition for groundwater well installation, requirements for contaminated soil management if excavation occurs, and ongoing monitoring of downgradient sentinel wells. Potential exposure pathways described by ARCADIS include future exposure of surface and sub-surface soil and future exposure to groundwater through incidental ingestion or dermal exposure. The only potential receptors are construction and excavation workers. |
