Details: | SUMMARY: Active Cleanup Site Near Wells DETAILS: Don called with concerns regarding a home heating oil tank clean-up site located inside 1-year Time-of-Travel Zone for Wells #2 #3 & #5. Contamination appears to have penetrated greater than 6 ft below the surface and is believed to represent a contamination threat to the wells. Contaminated soil piled on site for aeration as part of clean-up effort has little containment provided should heating oil migrate from soil pile. Sub-surface contamination is thought to have been present for a long period of time. However nothing has shown up yet in already required quarterly testing for the wells. ACTION NEEDED: Don will contact DEQ project officer and ask for greater oversite on clean-up since it is within a DWSA. He will also ask contractor to provide a better means of containment for contaminated soil that is being mitigated on site. He will ask DHS DWP to contact DEQ and/or the contractor on behalf of the water system if additional information is needed and/or their awareness level needs to be raised. |
