Cleanup/Treatment Implemented: Y
Cleanup/Treatement Categories:
Addl Cleanup/Treatment info: Approximately 21,000 tons of nonhazardous petroleum-contaminated soil was removed from the Site. Soil was excavated to approximately 15 feet bgs across the majority of the Site. As part of the soil excavation excavation to 15 feet bgs, extensive dewatering was required. Even though this activity likely removed majority of the contaminated groundwater from the Site, ORC treatment was still applied to the bottom of the excavation to treat any residual soil and groundwater contamination left below 15 feet.

Cover Technologies (e.g., Capping)
Since the Track 4 Remedial Area could not be safely excavated and removed without jeopardizing the structural integrity of the adjacent building foundations, an engineered composite cover system was implemented to prevent human exposure to the residual soils. The Track 4 Remedial Area cover system consists of at a minimum, a four (4) to six (6)-inch concrete foundation slab and an approximate one (1) to two (2)-foot layer of RCA and/or virgin quarry stone. A second engineering control serves the Track 4 and 2 Areas of the Site, the vapor barrier membrane,as part of development, construction of a composite cover system consisting of a concrete foundation slab overlying a vapor barrier membrane, a concrete rat slab and a layer of RCA and/or virgin quarry stone was also installed in the Track 1 and Track 2 Areas.
