Problems/Comments

The site was the location of a former service station, constructed in 1964 and converted to Mike's University Chevron in 1974. Chevron leased the property between 1974 and 1986 to dispense gasoline and provide automobile services. The service station ceased operations in 1986. Seven underground storage tanks and two aboveground storage tanks were removed from the site. Approximately 800 tons of petroleum impacted soil were excavated from around the former USTs and the pump island in 2001. An air-sparge and soil vapor extraction (AS/SVE) system was installed in September 2002 and operated intermittently until February 2007. The AS/SVE system was replaced and upgraded in July 2009 and operated intermittently until November 2013. An additional 300 CY of contaminated soil was excavated at the site prior to the construction of a permanent restaurant building. Petroleum contaminated groundwater exceeding cleanup levels remains at the site and continues to impact groundwater quality downgradient of the site. Annual groundwater monitoring continues. Formerly known as Plywood Supply Bldg. File# 100.38.059

12/20/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	DEC received the soil excavation report from ARCADIS. Soil was segregated into two stockpiles based on field screening with PID; the "clean" stockpile (stockpile 1) contained approximately 40 cubic yards of soil and the potentially contaminated stockpile (stockpile 2) was comprised of approximately 4 cy. Confirmation sampling from both stockpiles indicated that no contamination was present above cleanup levels. The majority of stockpile 1 was transported to the woodway and spread on their parking lot with ADEC approval. The rest was re-used on site. Stockpile 2 remains on site.	Robert Burgess
1/14/2013	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	DEC received and reviewed the 2013 Soil Vapor Investigation Report. The work addressed the potential for vapor intrustion at the new Pita Place restaurant on site. Soil gas probes did not detect any volatile compounds above vapor intrustion target levels. GRO was detected at 570 ug/m^3 in vapor probes VP-1 and VP-2 at a depth of 5 feet. At 10 feet, GRO was detected at 1,100 ug/m^3 in VP-1, was not detected in VP-2 and was detected at 570 ug/m^3 in VP-3. ARCADIS concluded that vapor intrusion is not a concern for the new building.	Robert Burgess
5/17/2013	Meeting or Teleconference Held	DEC project managers met via teleconference with ARCADIS project manager Russ Greisler. DEC approved of removing MW-5 and MW-7 from annual monitoring due to historical low contaminant concentrations in these wells over several years. MW-10 was damaged during Pita Place construction activities and will also be removed from the sampling regime, as it has had a long history of non-detects and is upgradient of current contamination. ARCADIS will survey the site to locate MW-10 and decommission it properly. ARCADIS proposed to restart AS/SVE system, but to leave certain legs of the system off due to low concentrations of volatile contaminants during rebound testing. DEC committed to making a decision on whether or not certain legs can remain inactive after the 2013 monitoring event.	Robert Burgess
5/29/2013	Site Visit	Site visit by DEC project manager. ARCADIS staff are conducting an evaluation of the remediation system components in anticipation of restarting the system later this summer. The contaminated soil stockpile as well as several drums containing soil cuttings and groundwater remain on site but their transport and disposal is being coordinated.

3/21/2014	Meeting or Teleconference Held	DEC met with ARCADIS to discuss the current status of the site and future plans. ARCADIS and Chevron are trying to get a cleanup complete status by 2016. An agreement was made to eliminate lead and VOCs except for EDB from the monitoring program. It was also agreed that MW-6 and MW-7 could be removed from the monitoring program entirely, since they have not had contaminants above cleanup levels for several years. MW-5 will be kept in the monitoring program as a downgradient sentinel well. ARCADIS project manager requested the removal of the AS/SVE system at the site due to decreasing rates of contaminant removal. DEC agreed to the removal following a formal request letter. DEC also agreed to initiate a file review to assess closure needs.	Robert Burgess

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

DEC received and reviewed the 2013 Soil Vapor Investigation Report. The work addressed the potential for vapor intrustion at the new Pita Place restaurant on site. Soil gas probes did not detect any volatile compounds above vapor intrustion target levels. GRO was detected at 570 ug/m^3 in vapor probes VP-1 and VP-2 at a depth of 5 feet. At 10 feet, GRO was detected at 1,100 ug/m^3 in VP-1, was not detected in VP-2 and was detected at 570 ug/m^3 in VP-3. ARCADIS concluded that vapor intrusion is not a concern for the new building.

Robert Burgess

5/17/2013

Meeting or Teleconference Held

DEC project managers met via teleconference with ARCADIS project manager Russ Greisler. DEC approved of removing MW-5 and MW-7 from annual monitoring due to historical low contaminant concentrations in these wells over several years. MW-10 was damaged during Pita Place construction activities and will also be removed from the sampling regime, as it has had a long history of non-detects and is upgradient of current contamination. ARCADIS will survey the site to locate MW-10 and decommission it properly. ARCADIS proposed to restart AS/SVE system, but to leave certain legs of the system off due to low concentrations of volatile contaminants during rebound testing. DEC committed to making a decision on whether or not certain legs can remain inactive after the 2013 monitoring event.

Robert Burgess

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

DEC has reviewed the Second Semi-Annual 2015 Groundwater Monitoring Report. Contaminants in several of the on-site and off-site wells continue to exceed DEC cleanup levels but remain at significantly lower concentrations than were observed prior to installation of the remediation system. Groundwater flow direction and gradient is consistent with historical data, towards the west-southwest. Over 2 years have passed since the AS/SV remediation system was shut down. As we continue to see contaminant levels exceeding DEC cleanup levels it appears necessary to reassess the most appropriate action to move the site towards closure.
