What Was The Goal? What Was The Goal?

  • Generally: Finally do a cleanup! – after years of building capacity,

assessments, we wanted to use STRP funding to do more and go further further.

  • Specifically: Mitigate exposure pathways by removing petroleum

contaminated soil and replacing with clean fill before ANTHC installs contaminated soil and replacing with clean fill before ANTHC installs a 40,000 gallon water storage tank

  • DEC & YRITWC collaboration established by dividing tasks and

y g incorporated them into EPA funding requests

Where Did This All Begin? Where Did This All Begin?

Assessments

YRITWC conducted Phase I and Limited Phase II YRITWC conducted Phase I and Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment of Lots 11 & 13 in summer of 2008. DEC prepared an Environmental Management Plan in 2009 summarizing the characterization work already done and summarizing the characterization work already done and describing the recommended actions for removal.

Summary of Results Summary of Results

Approximately 340 cubic yards of potentially contaminated soils were removed from the center of the community and placed in a landfarming cell on the east side of the landfill

y

east side of the landfill Landfarm soil thickness is estimated at 3.5-4 ft. Hughes is recommended to till the landfarm soil at least twice every summer to enhance degradation and y g to also cover the soil with 6-mil polyethylene sheeting in winter – reduces amount

  • f water from entering cell and increases solar heating

Contractor estimated 90% of funds stayed in the community: operators, laborers, accounting, equipment – loaders, CAT, excavator, dump trucks, pickup truck, etc. Alth h l t f t ti ll t i t d il ’t d d t f di Although a lot of potentially contaminated soil wasn’t removed due to funding constraints, something got cleaned up! A little goes a long way… First ever STRP funded cleanup for YRITWC builds capacity knowledge for
