Institutional and Engineering Controls

Yes
Government Controls
The site previously operated as a service station and then gas station from approximately 1975 until it was razed in 2017. The site previously supported nine USTs that had capacities ranging from 550-gallons up to 12,000-gallons and stored waste oil, kerosene, unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel. The USTs were all removed from the site from August 2009 through March 2017. Based on the records Terracon reviewed on the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) OCULUS database, the first reported discharge occurred on the site in June 1982 and was granted "completion status" in November 1996 after nine quarters of groundwater monitoring. A second discharge was reported in August 2005, when a tank tightness test identified a hole in the mid-grade UST and an estimated 5,700 gallons of mid-grade unleaded gasoline was released to the site's subsurface. Approximately 5,000 gallons of free product was recovered utilizing a vacuum truck; in addition, approximately 2,800 gallons of petroleum contact water was recovered. Remediation activities took place from August 2005 until March 2016, which included initial free product recovery, site investigations, UST removals, remedial action and post-remedial groundwater monitoring. Overall, approximately 43 permanent groundwater monitoring wells were installed on the site and in April 2012 chemical oxidant injections were advanced throughout the site in an attempt to reduce the size of the groundwater contamination plume. Post injection sampling events were conducted for four quarters starting in April 2013. The fourth quarter results indicated that six monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-3, MW-5, MW-15, MW-25 and MW-44) exhibited Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene (BTEX) concentrations greater than the respective Natural Attenuation Default Criteria (NADC). Additionally, fifteen monitoring wells exhibited BTEX concentrations greater than the respective groundwater cleanup target levels (GCTL). The contaminant plume was determined to be located centrally on the site. According to the fourth quarter sampling event the aggregate area of the three groundwater contamination plumes was reduced to 0.245-acres. It was determined that the analytical data demonstrated: 1. the groundwater impacts were contained within the subject boundaries and not migrating offsite, 2. the groundwater impacts were not migrating from the localized contamination source area, 3. the plume was less than 0.25-acres and 4. the contamination plume has not and will not affect a freshwater or marine surface water body. Since the site met these four criteria, the August 2005 release was granted a Site Rehabilitation Completion Order (SRCO) with Conditions from the FDEP, stating that groundwater use is restricted and no onsite redevelopment activities can take place without prior approval from the FDEP. All of the groundwater monitoring wells, except the three remaining onsite wells, were abandoned in February 2016. Based on the information reviewed, these listings are considered a controlled recognized environmental condition (CREC).

Additional Property Attributes

The site consists of 1.65-acres of land located at 3637 West Silver Springs Boulevard in Ocala, Marion County, Florida. The site consists of a vacant commercial lot and is further identified by Marion County Property Appraiser Parcel No. 22827-000-01.

Historical sources reviewed as part of this assessment indicate the site was undeveloped land from at least 1940 until the site was developed in the early 1970s when Interstate 10 was developed east of the site. A gas station was developed on the site in the mid-1970s and operated until the site was redeveloped with a new gas station in the mid-1990s. No significant changes were apparent to the site until it was razed in 2017 and has remained undeveloped, vacant land since that time. The historical gas station operations have impacted the site's subsurface and is further discussed in the subsequent Records Review section and Section 4.1 of the report.The surrounding properties consisted of undeveloped land and/or residential properties from the early 1940s until Interstate 10 was developed on the eastern properties in the 1970s. Since the development of the interstate, commercial development has increased in the surrounding area since that time.
