Problems/Comments

In July and August, 2017 two 500-gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) used to store heating fuel were removed from the southeast side of the Goldstream General Store. One tank had previously failed a tightness test. Following tank removal and initial soil excavation, confirmation samples indicate diesel range organics, benzene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and 2-methylnaphthalene remain in soil above the DEC Method 2 migration to groundwater cleanup level.
