Problems/Comments

A 5,000 gallon Bunker C tank used for heating purposes was removed 6/27-28/00. Stockpiled soils exceeded cleanup levels for DRO, benzene, toluene, and ethylbenzene. 18 cubic yards of contaminated stockpiled soil was transported to ASR for thermal remediation. The UST excavation measured 20 feet by 15 feet with a maximum depth of 15.5 feet below ground surface (bgs). Four confirmation samples from the excavation bottom and sidewall were all ND except for 11 mg/kg DRO. GW was not encountered. Previous investigations indicate GW is located more than 20 ft. bgs.
