Chase Environmental Group,
Inc. was responsible for the turn-key investigation, sampling
UST closure, remediation, and building demolition of an
extremely high traffic gas station undergoing complete demolition
and rebuilding.
Chase performed an asbestos survey prior to demolition and prepared and submitted the proper notifications to the Kentucky Division of Air Quality. Approval to demolish the building was granted and the building and canopy were razed per project specifications.
Chase initiated a preliminary investigation of the UST pit to determine the presence of contamination resulting from previous releases. This was necessary due to the size of the UST system, its location in a high traffic area, and the necessity for a timely closure due to the new construction for the facility. A release was discovered and reported to the Kentucky Environmental Response Team. Subsequently Chase either initiated or was directed by the USTB to advance a total of 52 borings to approximately 20 feet. This resulted in full plume delineation and a Corrective Action Plan was prepared as requested by the USTB.
The CAP included excavation
and disposal of approximately 4000 tons of soil and the
removal of any groundwater as it was encountered. Tank removal
for seven tanks and excavation activities, including backfilling,
were completed within 10 working days. The Closure Assessment
Report was submitted to the Kentucky Division of Waste Management
within 30 days and the site met the requirements outlined
in 401 KAR 42:070 and is eligible for clean closure.
