Problems/Comments

According to the maintenance manager, a 250-gallon heating oil aboveground storage tank (AST) was installed in January, 2008 to replace a 300-gallon underground storage tank (UST) that had been closed in place due to high fuel usage and a suspected leak based on the opinion of a contractor. The AST was initially filled with 100 gallons of #1 diesel fuel and a drain plug became dislodged during the night and released all 100 gallons of fuel onto the ground surface adjacent to the mobile home residence. Field activities in June and July, 2008 included removal of both the AST, UST, and associated piping; and excavation of ~8 cubic yards of petroleum-contaminated soil. Based on field observations, the source of contamination was believed to only be the release from the AST. Due to structural limitations, contaminated soil remains beneath and directly adjacent to the residence. Groundwater wells were installed in October 2008. Initial groundwater analysis indicated the presence of petroleum constituents below ADEC cleanup levels.
