Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Sample data from 2006 and 2007 GMRs were compared for consistency and trend analysis. MW-1 or MW-2 was not sampled in the fall 2007 GMR. MW-3 data (above regulatory screening levels) and MW-11 data (trace level detections only) are consistent and indicate stability over the period. |
Bruce Wanstall |
| 5/9/2008 |
Update or Other Action |
ADEC requested that the responsible party submit a workplan for sequential well sampling to establish a concentration trend for regulatory site closure. The Work Plan has not been received and the ground water monitoring schedule is delayed and overdue in violation of 18 AAC 75.325. Historical list of data was sent to the operator by email with a renewed request for a work plan. |
Bruce Wanstall |

Long Term Monitoring Established |
ADEC approves the long term ground water monitoring plan proposal for the regulated UST facility. Previously installed monitoring wells were evaluated resulting in one productive well, MW-11. Three additional monitoring wells were installed and each well was sampled for BTEX, GRO, DRO, and RRO in 2006 and 2007 and additional sampling is scheduled in 2008. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
ADEC received the August 2008 Gas n Go GMR from consulting engineer; the data meet ADEC QA criteria. The GRO, DRO and BTEX data are below instrument detection or show stable or decreasing concentrations in three monitoring bordering the salmon stream east of the active facility. The fourth well had an increase in all petroleum fractions but is located furthest from the stream and near an active fuel transfer island. |
Bruce Wanstall |
| 10/23/2009 |
Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC concurs with the conclusions in the CDI Report; compared with historical test sample data for the Gas N Go facility, the 2008 data have GRO, DRO and BTEX concentrations in monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2 and MW-11 as stable or decreasing. The same comparison for monitoring well MW-3, however shows an increase in most of the petroleum analytes. The spatial distribution of data indicates that residual soil and ground water contamination in the subsurface at MW-3 is not migrating in the direction the salmon stream east of the property. With this in mind, the DEC agrees with reducing the frequency of ground water monitoring to every three years. |

| 8/9/2011 |
Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC approved the May 2011 Groundwater Sampling at Gas N Go Fuel Station Report by Carson Dorn Inc. The data collection and field methods are consistent with DEC methodology in the approved Long-Term Monitoring Well Sampling Plan. The data meet DEC field and laboratory report quality assurance criteria in CS Program guidance documents and the UST Procedures Manual. DEC concurs with the conclusions in the Report that the trend in sample data for samples from monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2 and MW-11 has been either below instrument detection or stable to decreasing concentrations for the GRO, DRO and BTEX analytical parameters. The trend in sample data for monitoring well MW-3 shows a decrease in the GRO, DRO, benzene, toluene and total xylene concentrations from 2008, however ethylbenzene concentrations in the MW-3 sample went up in 2011 but the concentration is still less than one tenth of the 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup level. |

Long Term Monitoring Established |
The next sampling event to monitor groundwater contamination at the active retail gas station is scheduled for 2014. Task tracker notification to the project manager is set up for June, 2014. |
Bruce Wanstall |
| 6/30/2014 |
Update or Other Action |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
In accordance with requirements in 18 AAC 78.090 and 18 AAC 78.620, DEC approves the Report on monitoring groundwater contamination. The concentrations of DRO and benzene in the sample from monitor well MW-3 are above the groundwater cleanup levels. The concentrations of residual range hydrocarbons (RRO) and benzene in the field duplicate sample from monitor well MW-3 are above the groundwater cleanup levels. GRO, ethylbenzene and total xylenes were detected in the sample from well MW-3 at concentrations above the laboratory reporting limit and below cleanup levels. Benzene was detected in the sample from well MW-2 above the laboratory reporting limit and below cleanup levels. Analyte concentrations in samples MW-1 and MW-11 were all below the laboratory reporting limits and cleanup levels in 2011 and 2014. In accordance with the long-term monitoring plan for this site, one set of samples will be collected at the four wells on a three-year interval until cleanup standards have been consistently met at all wells. In the next sampling event, currently scheduled for June 2017, DEC requests that a field duplicate sample once again be collected from monitor well MW-3 and RRO be added as a contaminant of concern for well MW-3. If any of the wells are damaged between now and the 2017 sampling season, DEC requests that Gas N Go make arrangements to repair or replace the well prior to the scheduled sampling event so that none of the locations are lost and no interruption in the scheduled event occurs. |

Site Characterization Report Approved |

Site Characterization Workplan Approved |
Approved the Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) this date. Seven groundwater monitoring wells will be installed using a drill rig and Geoprobe 2 inch prepack wells. The soil and groundwater samples will be analyzed for gasoline range organics (GRO), diesel range organics (DRO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), lead, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Note that to reduce cost, PAHs, lead, and VOCs may be analyzed on 10% of the soil and groundwater samples provided these are from the most highly contaminated samples. The borings and groundwater monitoring wells are going to be placed in the two areas having the highest levels of contamination and in locations for delineation purposes. |
