Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC approved by letter today Notification of a Petroleum Release from a Former Tank Farm letter/report submitted by G-Logics Inc. for Wards Cove Packing (WCP) regarding a tank farm reportedly formerly operated by Chevron from the 1940s to the 1980s. WCP also has had an interest in the site since the mid-1970s. Six above ground storage tanks (ASTs) and related appurtenances, including a truck rack pump station entered as a separate site on the CS Database. Site investigation indicates soil contamination by release of leaded gasoline and diesel to surface soil. Groundwater was encountered on average at two feet below ground surface. |

DEC has reviewed and approved by electronic mail: Workplan to Provide Remediation and Site-Closure Assistance, Former Chevron Truck-Loading Rack, 147 Front Street (Plan), dated April 11, 2017 and received by DEC by electronic mail on May 2, 2017. G-Logics Inc. submitted the Plan to DEC for approval regarding additional site characterization sampling and environmental cleanup at the referenced Site. Sub-slab probes will be installed and sampled in accordance with DEC’s Vapor Intrusion Guidance for Contaminated Sites dated January 2017. A tracer leak test will be performed on each probe prior to sample collection to assess the seal between the probe and the soil slab. Soil gas samples will be collected in 1 liter summa canisters fitted with 15 minute flow regulators. Shut in tests will be performed on the sampling train (and before sample collection) to assess the seal between the summa canister and the sample tubing. Soil removal will take place in the fuel pipe area at the shoreline bulkhead. Soils with odor or staining will be hand excavated and placed into super sacks. Confirmation samples will then be collected after removal or an obstruction is reached.
