Update or Other Action |
Received a call from Lyle Gresehover regarding future management of the site. We discussed the fact that wells on adjacent properties have been sampled and were not impacted by the spill. The owner is still recovering a few gallons of fuel as it accumulates on top of the frozen groundwater. Lyle thought a passive skimmer system would work well for product recovery this summer. I suggested we collect a sample from the on-site well this winter, and put in a down-gradient monitoring well in the spring. After sampling the downgradient monitoring well we can evaluate a long term strategy for the site. |

Update or Other Action |
ADEC sent a letter to the owners stating that an additional downgradient monitoring well was required. All the monitoring wells should be monitored annually at high water table for the next three years. If after three years of data, the data shows a decreasing or steady state plume, then re-evaluate the monitoring schedule. |

Update or Other Action |
Staff reviewed file for a response to PDC regarding a proposed utility line installation in the area. The contaminated soil has been excavated, except for the impacted soils that are beneath the house. There remains some free phase petroleum on the water table and a groundwater plume that has not been completely delineated. The plume, however, appears to be fairly limited in extent based on sampling neighboring drinking water wells and one on site monitoring well. ADEC has requested additional monitoring.
The utility project should not encounter any soil contamination based on their current proposal to only dig in the road. Groundwater contamination could be a concern if there was extensive dewatering. The closest proposed lift station is approximately 1,000 ft away from the site. |

Update or Other Action |
Staff reviewed the January Groundwater Monitoring Report. The diesel concentrations increased in MW-3 from 2010. Given the concentrations of benzene and proximity to the garage, vapors in the building are a possibility. Residual soil contamination beneath building and unrecoverable fuel on water table. Don't suspect off site migration, but unable to completely delineate. Will collect some air samples and another groundwater sample. Owners have done as much source removal as possible. Did not receive money from the fence company that drilled through the tank. They want to sell the property, but these data are insufficient for a closure at this time. Set up a meeting for April 1. |

Cleanup Complete Determination Issued |
A Cleanup Complete - Institutional Controls determination has been made for this site. Remaining soil contamination is inaccessible under the garage and the groundwater plume is stable and decreasing. A notice of environmental contamination has been filed with the DNR recorder's office and institutional controls are in place requiring management of contaminated soils and restricting groundwater well installation. |
