5/4/2012 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC received and reviewed the site characterization work plan submitted by TPECI. Comments were sent to TPECI. Tamara Cardona-Marek
5/18/2012 Site Characterization Workplan Approved DEC received modified plan for sampling the area above the liner and underneath the tanks. Tanks are scheduled to be removed thsi summer. Tamara Cardona-Marek
6/27/2012 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC received from TPECI results from the sampling beneath the tanks. DRO contamination is present above migration to groundwater. TPECI proposes to stockpile the soil above the liner on a stockpile at the landfill to later dispose at the landfill. Solid waste indicated landfill is not yet permitted and proposed changes in regulations may prevent the diesel contaminated soil from being disposed of there once it becomes permitted. DEC approved temporary storage of the stockpile at the landfill (so that work can proceed as scheduled) conditioned to a submission of a soil remediation plan before the end of the field season.
