Site Visit |
At the request of Robert Weimer, the project manager, a quality assurance site inspection was conducted on 5/27/09. Upon arival, the consultant was currently sampling two wells, MW-6 and MW-7, simultaneously with two seperate sampling systems. The only observed deviation was the use of sampling equipment and measurements with a car idling nearby. However, after discussion with the sampling crew it was determined that the impact to the sample results would be minimal. A copy of the site inspection report will be placed in the site file and in the QA file. |

June 8, 2013 groundwater monitoring event. Up to 11.0 mg/l DRO, 15.7 mg/l GRO, 32 ug/l benzene, and 25 ug/l lead in the 10 monitoring wells sampled. Contamination concentrations increased in 8 of the 10 monitoring wells sampled. Depth to groundwater was 4.08 to 6.99 feet below ground surface. Groundwater flow direction was toward the southeast. A downgradient monitoring well across the street at the Chevron site (MW-6) had 2.1 mg/l DRO, non-detect (<0.05 mg/l) GRO, non-detect (<0.23 ug/l) benzene, and 25 ug/l lead.
Each monitoring well was sampled twice: once with no purge (Hydrasleeve), and then after purging (bladder pump). Results of the Hydrasleeve are biased low because the water column sampled did not include the surface of the groundwater, the top of the water column sampled ranged from 3.0 to 31.8 inches below the surface of the groundwater. Results of the purge samples may also be biased low because the depth of the pump intake was not documented in the field notes. Not possible to compare the no purge and purge results because of problems with the interval sampled. |

November 4, 2013 groundwater monitoring event. Up to 2.8 mg/l DRO, 17.0 mg/l GRO, 90 ug/l benzene, and 140 ug/l lead in the 4 monitoring wells sampled. Contamination concentrations increased in 3 of the 4 monitoring wells sampled. Depth to groundwater was 4.20 to 5.45 feet below ground surface. Groundwater flow direction was toward the south. A downgradient monitoring well across the street at the Chevron site (MW-6) was not sampled this monitoring event. Each monitoring well was sampled with no purge (Hydrasleeve). Because the samples were not collected with Hyrasleeve at the top 3 feet of the water column (the top foot of water in each monitoring well was not sampled), the results are considered biased low and can't be used to evaluate trends and extent of the contamination. |

June 5, 2014 groundwater monitoring event. Up to 2.0 mg/l DRO, 5.2 mg/l GRO, 25 ug/l benzene, and 14 ug/l lead in the 10 monitoring wells sampled. Contamination concentrations increased in 6 of the 10 monitoring wells sampled. Depth to groundwater was 4.46 to 6.20 feet below ground surface. Groundwater flow direction was toward the south. A downgradient monitoring well across the street at the Chevron site (MW-6) was sampled this monitoring event. Each monitoring well was sampled with a bladder pump after purging. Since 9 of the 10 samples were not collected within the top of the water column as required (the pump intake was not in the top foot of water in the monitoring well, it ranged between 1.84 to 2.12 feet below the soil/water interface), so the results in those 9 monitoring wells are considered biased low and can't be used to evaluate trends and extent of the contamination. |

Update or Other Action |
ADEC letter requesting that Chevon submit a report summarizing all of the historic soil sampling data for this site to identify any locations that had sample results that exceed current ADEC maximum allowable and/or human health cleanup levels. The ADEC also requested that Chevron submits a work plan, including a schedule for conducting the work, for assessing those areas to evaluate whether they still exceed maximum allowable and/or human health cleanup levels. The work plan could include the removal of contaminated soil and/or groundwater in those areas to help accelerate the remediation of this site. ADEC requests that both the report and work plan be submitted by May 1, 2020. |

Update or Other Action |
ADEC requests for this site that the monitoring wells are purged prior to sampling, and that the intake of the bladder pump/in-well pump be documented in the field notes to be within the top foot of the water column at the time of the sampling. Also all BTEX and VOC sampling needs to include the full 8260 VOC list including naphthalene. ADEC is also requesting that all reports be submitted within 60 days of the sampling and the groundwater monitoring figure include a diagram showing historic groundwater flow directions. ADEC is requesting full VOC (8260) and PAH analysis for monitoring wells MW-2, MW-3, MW-6 through MW-10. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC reviewed 2020 groundwater sampling plan and provided the following comments: For all future monitoring events please make sure that the field notes document the measurement of the pump intake that is within the top foot of the water column at the time of the sampling unless the top of the well screened interval is deeper, then in that case from the top foot of that screened interval. For all future monitoring events any monitoring well where BTEX or HVOC sampling is proposed it needs to be the full VOC (method 8260) list, including naphthalene. The field QC samples are per day of sampling at a site. For all future monitoring events all reports be submitted within 60 days of the sampling and the groundwater monitoring figure include a diagram showing historic groundwater flow directions. For all future monitoring events if a monitoring well is low yield and purges dry then a sample will still need to be collected that monitoring event once the monitoring well has recharged to approximately 80% of its pre-purge volume. If it has not returned to 80% of its pre-purged volume during that sampling day DEC requests that you return to the site early the next day to attempt to collect the water sample. DEC also requested to all full VOC and PAH analysis for monitoring wells MW-2, MW-3, MW-6 through MW-10. |

2020 First Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring event was conducted on May 4th & 5th, 2020. Groundwater samples were collected from monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-10. Monitoring wells MW-2 and MW-4 were obstructed by ice and could not be gauged or sampled. Monitoring wells MW-3 and MW-5 through MW-9 had insufficient water to sample due to possible ice obstructions. Samples were submitted to the analytical laboratory for GRO, DRO, VOCs, PAHs, lead, and geochemical parameters. Groundwater flow direction was to the southeast and depth to groundwater was 3.26 to 6.76 feet below ground surface. Duplicate sample was collected at MW-1, which is only sampled for lead and geochemical parameters, therefore no duplicate sample was submitted for GRO, DRO, VOC, or PAH analysis during this sample event. |
