Additional Property Attributes

The Site consists of one 0.30-acre mixed use parcel located on the south side of Vermont Route 14 and north of Back/Church Street. Surrounding properties are residential. The Site is developed with one, approximately 5,180-square foot (sq. ft.), three-story building developed with a store on the first floor and residential apartments on the second and third floors. The earliest identified use of the Site was as a general store in 1913. Portions of the Site were used forvehicle fuel sales and repair as early as 1948. The Site is listed as a hazardous waste site (SMS #92-1283) for petroleum impacts to soil and groundwater identified in 1992 during the removal of one of several former Site underground storage tanks (USTs). Long-term groundwater monitoring is ongoing. LAG conducted active remediation in 2008-2009 using the Plume Eater� system, which draws upgroundwater, strips off volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and reinjects oxygenated groundwater to enhance biologic degradation. In February 2020, Weston & Sampson completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA). Potential releases resulting from fuel sales and automobile repair, fuel sales at the adjacent property north of the Site, former and existing UST and aboveground storage tank (AST), spills within the auto service pit, and the potential for vapor intrusion were identified as recognized environmental conditions (RECs). On July 21 and 22, 2020, Ross Environmental Associates, Inc. (REA) provided oversight during the removal of one 8,000-gallon gasoline UST and one 275-gallon kerosene AST. During the UST removal, approximately 0.3 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated soil from the release identified in 1992 was excavated for disposal. During the AST removal, approximately 0.6 cubic yards of soil with PID readings up to 42 parts per million (ppmv) were identified and excavated for disposal. Two soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis in the UST excavation. No compounds were detected above laboratory reporting limits or applicable Vermont Soil Standards (VSS). PID readings collected from beneath petroleum-contaminated soil at the AST were below the VTDEC Action Level of 10 ppmv for kerosene contaminated soil. No soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis.
