Importance: High

 

Good morning, Tim. Thank you for taking my call this morning.

You advised you are working with your Consultant to provide the detailed information requested below. As much time has passed since this initial release was reported to DEQ, we will plan to open a new release for this site if the information needed to associate this with the prior release is not submitted by November 3rd, 2023.

If a new release is created for this site and we later receive information substantiating the belief that contamination discovered recently is associated with the prior release reported in 1988, then we will consider closing the site using and Administrative Closure. However, this determination can not be made without the requested data.

I understand this has been a difficult process, but please consider this to be the last extension of time.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Claussen, Duty Officer

Hi Kerry, Jennifer asked me to review the information you provided to DEQ about the Shady Cove site. Attached is your memo summary, with several comments/questions I have. Some key things I need more information about are listed below. Sorry if I should know some of this.

  1. 1. Is this a UST decommissioning? I assume so if you were able to observe the condition of the tanks.
  2. 2. Were these tanks installed in 1988? What is their history?
  3. 3. Which tanks contained what?
  4. 4. On the figure, what are the gray boxes with “+” in them (see figure below), and the black boxes next to them?
  5. 5. I’ll need more information about the locations of the 1988 samples to compare with where you sampled.
  6. 6. I will need a table or tables with data and sample numbers that correlate with a map. Like your Figure, but with the 1988 sample locations, and data summarized. Or separate tables and figure(s).
  7. 7. I will need to know more about the tank pit and line testing you did recently. What exactly does this involve?
  8. 8. It should be noted that 35 years is a long time for an older tank system to be in operation without leaks.
  9. 9. If I get more information, I may be able to make a call pretty quick, without the need for a cost recovery agreement. I will need to see the additional information. Please work with the LUST Duty Officer on when this information needs to be provided. If it is not provided by then, a new LUST should be opened, and if determined later to be the old release, could be administratively closed.

Good morning!

Christy has provided additional lab results for this site. As requested below, we are needing to see your current decommissioning report which includes a sample map. Additionally, if you wish for this release to be treated as attributed to the prior release in 1988, a comparison report will need to be submitted that will justify your findings. I am including a link to our website that contains links to the previous sample map and lab results:

File documents for LUST#15-88-0025:

https://www.deq.state.or.us/WebDocs/Forms/Output/LustOutput.aspx?SourceId=3512&SourceIdType=10

Please provide this documentation as soon a possible so a determination can be made on the pending release. Without this information, we will process the current data as a new release.

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for reaching out. It is my understanding that the line removal is wrapping up this week with the balance of the samples being taken.

I do believe some lab results are available from the tank area although I assume they are waiting to get all the labs done before issuing a report.

I’ll let Kerry weigh in on the timeline.

Thank you!

Best,

Tim Schneider

Thank you Andrea!

Kerry & Tim – if you wish to have DEQ concurrence that this release is actually contamination from the original release from ’88 (LUST#15-88-0025) then we will need to know more information about the current conditions at the site including the decommissioning report and lab data, which includes a map of sampling locations. To make a comparison to the prior release, we will also need to know what final sampling data looked like at the time of NFA. Please let me know your timeline for providing this information.

If we do not receive this data, we will need to go ahead and process the new release for this site.

LUST requested these again. Can someone let me know what the status of the decommissioning and where the analyticals are?

Good Morning,

I don’t recall receiving analyticals for this site. Can you send them to me? LUST/cleanup is asking for them.

Thanks in advance,
