We make every effort to ensure the data presented here is accurate based on the best available information currently on file with DEC. It is therefore subject to change as new information becomes available. We recommend contacting the assigned project staff prior to making decisions based on this information.

Problems/Comments

Numerous contaminant source areas are located at the ADOT&PF Tudor Road Maintenance Facility including a former disposal pit at the Materials Lab that resulted in solvent contamination in soil and groundwater, a floor hoist at Building 4801 that released hydraulic fluid to the subsurface, and buried drums and containers of paint and other chemicals in the SE corner of the facility, most of which have been removed. Groundwater contamination infiltrated the storm water system at the facility resulting in petroleum and/or solvent contamination in surface water and sediment at a storm water pond near the northeast corner of the facility. Prior to the construction of the sand storage building, salt had migrated from the facility into the surrounding wetland resulting in dead vegetation and salt deposition in offsite areas. Included in this site are leaking underground storage tank Event IDs 301, 1701, 1691, and 1692.

1/18/2006 Site Characterization Report Approved Staff completed review of the Fall 2005 Groundwater Monitoring report, attended a brief meeting with the CS term contractor to discuss comments and approved the report for finalization. In summary: Work performed during fall 2005 included update of the site-wide groundwater assessment and stormwater detention pond. Water samples were collected from twenty-one selected site groundwater monitoring wells. Groundwater samples were laboratory analyzed and field measurements for intrinsic remediation parameters were recorded. Water samples were also collected form the inflow and outfall of the stormwater detention pond for laboratory analysis. Review of the data indicates that groundwater conditions for the Building 4801 release area are generally consistent with previous monitoring events or contaminant concentrations are decreasing. Geochemical results indicate that biodegradation may be occurring. Data from groundwater collected for the Building 5820 release area indicate a general stable or decreasing trend. Geochemical results indicate that biodegradation is likely occurring. Data from groundwater collected for the Building 5750 release area indicate a general stable or decreasing trend. Geochemical results indicate that biodegradation may be occurring. Data from surface water collected from the stormwater detention pond indicate that water quality standards are not being exceeded at the outfall, however, water quality standards were exceeded in water flowing into the pond. Historical data for the pond sampling does not indicate a consistent trend for evaluation. David Pikul

11/9/2012 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed Well Installation and Sampling Report for ADOT&PF Tudor Road Maintenance Facility. One replacement monitoring well, MW-4R was installed near Building 4801, groundwater samples were collected from 16 wells, and one storm water sample was collected. Prior to sample collection, site reconnaissance found six wells in good condition and nine wells in need of repair due to frost jacking or damage to the monument. Well MW-6 could not be located and MW-27 is thought to have been destroyed. MW-4R was installed as a 4-inch well to be utilized as a product recovery well if needed, though no product was encountered in any of the wells during this project. At Building 4801, groundwater samples were collected from seven wells. DRO was detected up to 10.1 mg/l at MW-4R, GRO was detected up to 276 mg/l in the same well, and benzene was detected up to 34.0 mg/l in MW-12. Toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes were also detected above cleanup levels in most wells sampled. Contaminant concentrations have not decreased since 2001. At Building 5820, GRO was detected up to 4.87 mg/l and benzene was detected up to 0.601 mg/l. Contaminant concentrations have shown a marked decrease since monitoring began in the mid 1990’s. At Building 5750, TCE was detected up to 3.72 mg/l in MW-22 and PCE was detected up to 0.0116 mg/l in the same well. 1,1,1-TCA, 1,1,2-TCA, or 1,1-dichloroethene were also detected above cleanup levels in each of the wells near the source area. Sentinel well contained detectable concentrations TCE, but below cleanup levels. The sample from storm drain SD-1 contained detectable concentrations of contaminants however none exceeded groundwater or surface water cleanup levels. Bill O'Connell
4/5/2013 Update or Other Action ADEC received and reviewed as built drawings of Building 5750, the Materials Lab. The drawings show the various floor drains in the building tied into the sanitary sewer and not the storm sewer. The sanitary sewer exits the building on the south side and joins up with the sewer main. Bill O'Connell
4/9/2013 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed proposal/work plan for vapor intrusion assessment ad Building 5750. Following completion of a building survey, four sub-slab vapor sampling points will be installed and sampled, and three indoor and one outdoor air sample will be collected. Leak detection at the sub-slab sampling points will consist of a shut-in test and helium will be used as a tracer gas for leak detection during sampling. Indoor and outdoor samples will be collected over a 24 hour period. All samples will be analyzed for TCE using EPA Method TO 15 with a detection limit of 1.5 ug/m3. Indoor and outdoor air samples will be placed on hold pending analysis of sub-slab samples. Bill O'Connell
7/5/2013 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed Vapor Intrusion Evaluation for 5750 Tudor Road, ADOT&PF Materials lab. Three subslab vapor monitoring points were installed; one near the source area in the SE corner of the building, and two in the materials lab. Sub slab vapor samples contained PCE above the shallow soil gas screening level of 88 ug/m3 in each of the three samples ranging from 180 ug/m3 to 130,000 ug/m3 near the source area. Indoor air samples were collected in three locations; two in the materials lab and one in the office area. TCE was not detected in the office area sample but was detected above the indoor air target level of 8.8 ug/m3 in the materials lab sample closest to the source area at 9.6 ug/m3. This sample was collected in an area known as the Breakdown Room, which is not continually occupied. ADEC issued a letter to the Materials Lab Manager informing him of the exceedance and recommending workers limit their time in this area and that pregnant women and women of child bearing age not be allowed in this area. Bill O'Connell
7/1/2014 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed Sub-Slab Depressurization System installation report. Following design and diagnostic testing, two separate extraction systems were installed, each consisting of a sub-slab extraction point, piping, inline blower (RadonAway HS5000), and insulated exhaust stack that vents above the roofline on the south side of the materials lab. One week after operation of the system began, sub-slab and indoor air samples were collected to evaluate the effectives of the system. Indoor air samples did not contain concentrations of TCE above target levels. The sub-slab sample from the source area beneath the cement lab contained TCE at 3,100 ug/m3 which is above the soil-gas target level of 84 ug/m3 but represents a significant decrease from the 130,000 ug/m3 TCE that was detected in this location before the system was installed indicating the system is operating as designed. Additional air sampling will be conducted as needed to monitor the effectiveness of the system. Bill O'Connell
8/18/2015 Cleanup Plan Approved Approximately 30 cubic yards of contaminated soil was identified during trenching and excavation activities for the Tudor Road Complex lighting upgrades. From this 3 samples were collected and sampled for GRO, DRO, and BTEX. All soil samples collected contained DRO, and GRO, however DRO in only one sample exceeded the ADEC cleanup level. ADEC therefore approved the work plan to spread the soil on the southeast corner of the facility, and allow for natural attenuation. Chelsy Passmore
