Call from Nicole Acevedo (DNR). Stabilization and preservation plan was never implented. If it is ever implented, the stabilization will include building foundation repairs. Noted that DEC approval is required for off-site transport of soil, if conducted as part of the foundation repairs. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Reviewed the 2013 Site Characterization Report for the Hatcher Pass Assay Building foundation work. Contaminated soils were encountered while reconstructing the Hatcher Pass Assay Building foundation. Approximately 226.54 tons of petroleum impacted material was taken to ASR for disposal. The foundation excavation was approximately 50 feet by 50 feet by 1.5 feet deep. All five excavation characterization samples were collected from surface soil approximately 2 feet below ground surface. Two samples collected in the northeast corner of the excavation exceeded cleanup levels. One of those samples had a diesel range organics concentration of 3,040 mg/kg and a naphthalene concentration of 0.0416J mg/kg. Any contamination below the 1.5 feet deep foundation was left in place. |
