It is therefore subject to change as new information becomes available. We recommend contacting the assigned project staff prior to making decisions based on this information.

Problems/Comments

An active gas station since 1969. Five underground storage tanks (3 gasoline, 1 diesel, and 1 used oil tank) and associated piping and dispenser islands were removed and replaced in 1996. Soil and groundwater contamination was indentified during the removal. While 1,500 tons of contaminated soil were excavated and treated in 1996, contamination over site cleanup levels remained in the soil and groundwater(BTEX, GRO, PAHs, and DRO). Between 1998 and 2007 ten monitoring wells were installed. Soil and groundwater contamination extends off property towards the southwest toward Campbell Creek, which has been sampled since 2004. Groundwater and creek monitoring continue at this site.

2/27/2014 Meeting or Teleconference Held Meeting with Chevron and their consultants on 2/27/2014. 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. After reviewing the results of the May 2014 groundwater sampling event the consultant may be requesting a reduction in ground water and/or creek monitoring. 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.

Full VOCs (missing naphthalene) were analyzed in one monitoring well (MW-10) and it was non-detect. Concentrations increased in 0 of the 2 monitoring wells sampled. Groundwater flow direction was to the southwest and contamination extends off property to the south and west. Depth to groundwater was 5.32 to 8.39 feet below ground surface. It is unknown if the samples were collected from the top foot of the water column using a bladder pump after purging since the sample logs were not included in the report. Naphthalene results were missing for the 8260 VOC analysis. DEC has requested a revised report to be submitted with the missing sample logs and naphthalene results. Robert Weimer
2/6/2020 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other The missing naphthalene results were provided for monitoring well MW-10 for the March 29, 2019 monitoring event. The naphthalene was non-detect. Robert Weimer
3/12/2020 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. Robert Weimer
3/17/2020 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. Robert Weimer
