EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Applied GeoSolutions, LLC (AGS) was retained by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (VT DEC) Waste Management Division (WMD) to complete a Supplemental Site Investigation (SSI) at the Former Kestler’s Market (Site or Property), located at 286 US Route 2 in Alburgh Center, Vermont (Figure 1). The objective of the SSI was to further characterize the source, magnitude, and extent of petroleum contamination previously identified at the Site, and to better evaluate the impact and risk to sensitive receptors. The former Kestler’s Market Site is located on the west side of US Route 2 at the intersection of Center Bay Road. The Site is bound by US Route 2 to the east, a vacant residence to the north, and farm land to the south and west. The Property is currently owned by Mr. Walter Mashtare. There are two structures on the Property: a main building and a garage. The main building is located immediately west of US Route 2, and is divided with the former market occupying the southern half of the building, and residential space occupying the northern half of the building. The building is currently vacant. The SSI concluded that gasoline was released to the subsurface at the Site in the vicinity of the former UST. The volume of the release(s) is unknown. The petroleum release has impacted soil and ground water. Gasoline constituents are known to be present in the vapor, sorbed, and dissolved phases. No measureable free-phase non aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) was detected in any of the Site monitoring wells; however, heavy sheening was observed in several soil borings, suggesting residual NAPL may also be present.

The magnitude and extent of gasoline-related impact to soil and ground water on the Property has been reasonably characterized; however, the downgradient extent of contamination has not been defined, and may extend off-Site, beneath US Route 2.

On-Site soils within the upper two feet bgs are impacted by ethylbenzene, total xylenes, and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene at concentrations above the respective residential Regional Screening Levels (RSLs), and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) at concentrations above the Vermont Department of Health’s cleanup guidelines of 200 milligrams per Kilogram (mg/Kg) and 1,000 mg/Kg for residential and commercial Sites, respectively (for direct contact). The area of on-Site soil with photoionization detector (PID) readings greater than 200 parts per million volume (ppmv) is estimated at about 750 ft2, and extends from the former UST area to US Route 2.

The shallow overburden aquifer is impacted by target petroleum-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and total lead at concentrations above respective Vermont Groundwater Enforcement Standards (VGESs); however, target VOCs have not been

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

detected in downgradient bedrock water supplies. The on-Site portion of the 1,000 micrograms per Liter (µg/L) total dissolved VOC isopleth covers an estimated 700 ft2; the downgradient horizontal extent of the plume has not been determined. There are insufficient monitoring data to determine whether the dissolved-phase VOC plume is expanding, receding, or stabilized, since there is only one round of analytical data. Sensitive receptors /media impacted or at potential risk include soil, ground water, subsurface utilities, and indoor air. The downgradient extent of the contaminant plume should be characterized to better evaluate the risk to off-Site sensitive receptors, including the indoor air and drinking water supplies at 1 and 4 Center Bay Road. Once this delineation is completed, the need for corrective action and/or monitoring can be determined.

1.0 INTRODUCTION Applied GeoSolutions, LLC (AGS) was retained by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (VT DEC) Waste Management Division (WMD) to complete a Supplemental Site Investigation (SSI) at the Former Kestler’s Market (Site or Property), located at 286 US Route 2 in Alburgh Center, Vermont (Figure 1). The objective of the SSI was to further characterize the source, magnitude, and extent of petroleum contamination previously identified at the Site, and to better evaluate the impact and risk to sensitive receptors. The SSI was completed under the VT ARRA LUST Trust Fund Program (contract #15801), in general accordance with the work plan and cost estimate prepared by AGS, dated March 11, 2010, which was approved by Mr. Gerold Noyes of the VT DEC in a letter dated March 15, 2010. 2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 Site Description and Physical Setting The former Kestler’s Market Site is located on the west side of US Route 2 at the intersection of Center Bay Road (Figure 1). The Site is bound by US Route 2 to the east, a vacant residence to the north, and farm land to the south and west. The Property is currently owned by Mr. Walter Mashtare. There are two structures on the Property: a main building and a garage. The main building is located immediately west of US Route 2, and is divided with the former market occupying the southern half of the building, and residential space occupying the northern half of the building. The basement of the main building has an earthen floor and stone foundation. A 275-gallon, heating oil aboveground storage tank (AST) is located off the northeast corner of the main building. A single-car garage is located off the northwest corner of the main building. The Property is currently vacant.

Drinking water for the Site is provided by a dug well located within the southern portion of the Property. Neighboring properties are served by drilled bedrock wells. All properties in the vicinity of the Site have individual, on-site septic systems. The USGS topographic quadrangle map (Figure 1) shows the overall topography of the area gently sloping toward Lake Champlain’ Ransoms Bay, located about

Page 7: SUPPLEMENTAL SITE INVESTIGATION REPORT Former Kestler’s ... · 2.0 BACKGROUND ... evaluate the risk to off-Site sensitive receptors, including the indoor air and drinking water

Former Kestler’s Market, Alburgh Center, VT Applied GeoSolutions, LLC Supplemental Site Investigation Page 2

1,500 feet east of the Site. In front of the Property, there is a local rise to the edge of the road, which is banked towards the west. South of the Site the topography gently slopes toward an ephemeral stream that flows from west to east. There is a catch basin located in the northeast portion of the Property that collects storm water from this area, and discharges it to a swale within the southeast portion of the Site via a storm drain that parallels US Route 2. The balance of storm water runoff from the Site likely flows toward the ephemeral stream to the south of the Site.

The Property was formerly a local market and gas station. A single fuel dispenser was located in front of the store that was served by an underground storage tank (UST) located off the northeast corner of the main building. According to Mr. Mashtare, the UST and fuel dispenser were removed approximately 26 years ago; however, the VT DEC does not have a record of these activities. 2.2 Previous Work

In October 2004, Phelps Engineering encountered gasoline-contaminated soil in front of the former Kestler’s Market while completing exploration soil borings for a new waterline along US Route 2. The water line has not been installed to date. The Sites Management Section (SMS) subsequently hired the environmental consulting firm Heindel & Noyes (H&N) to implement a limited site investigation to assess the likely source of contamination and possible impacts on sensitive receptors.

H&N acquired site history from the Property owner, conducted a reconnaissance of the area surrounding the zone of contamination, screened the basement of the main building with a photoionization detector (PID), and sampled on-Site and neighboring water supply wells at 1, 4, 5, and 8 Center Bay Road, and 277 US Route 2. No immediate risk to human health and the environment, or contaminated water supplies were found during H&N’s limited site assessment.

In 2009, the SMS received a federal EPA grant to investigate and perform limited cleanup at Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) sites where the owner is unable to do this work themselves. As such, the SMS contracted AGS under the Site Investigation Contract to complete a SSI at the Property. AGS understands that the SMS has obtained a Consent for Access to Property signed by Mr. Mashtare.

3.0 WORK COMPLETED

3.1 Geophysical Survey On April 2, 2010, AGS completed a ground penetrating radar (GPR) and EM61 geophysical survey within accessible areas within the eastern portion of the Site. The objectives of the GPR / EM61 survey were to:

• identify and map, if present, possible out-of-service USTs and associated appurtenances that may remain on the Property; and

• identify and map known and unknown underground utilities in the survey area.

The survey area was divided into transects spaced about 3 feet apart in the general north-south direction, and transects spaced about 3 feet apart in the general east-west direction. AGS utilized a GSSI SIR-3000 GPR System with a 400 MHz antenna to complete GPR profiles across the grid areas. AGS utilized a Geonics EM61 High Sensitivity Metal Detector unit to complete the electromagnetic survey within the grid areas.

GPR data were evaluated real-time in the field; EM61 data were processed following the field survey. Results of the surveys are discussed in Section 4.0.

3.2 Soil Borings / Sampling On April 9, 2010, AGS conducted a soil boring / soil sampling program at the Site to help determine the degree and extent of potential petroleum impact to the subsurface. A total of eleven (11) soil borings were completed (SB-1 through SB-11). Soil boring locations are provided on Figure 2. Soil boring logs are provided in Appendix A. Soil boring SB-1 was advanced within the former UST grave (where Phelps Engineering encountered contamination). Soil boring SB-3 was completed upgradient of the former UST. Soil boring SB-8 was advanced in the suspected vicinity of the former fuel dispenser. The addition borings were completed to delineate the horizontal and vertical extent of the on-Site contamination. Soil borings SB-2 and SB-5 were completed to a depth of five (5) feet below ground surface (bgs); soil boring SB-10 was advanced 15 feet bgs. All other borings were advanced to ten (10) feet bgs.

Former Kestler’s Market, Alburgh Center, VT Applied GeoSolutions, LLC Supplemental Site Investigation Page 4

Soil borings were advanced by Stone Environmental, Inc. (SEI) using a track-mounted Geoprobe® unit (model 6610 DT), under the supervision of AGS. Soil samples were collected in five-foot intervals, using macrocore sampling liners and dual tube sampling technology. Soil samples were logged by AGS for texture and screened for the possible presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a portable PID (Ion Science Model 1000 plus), with a 10.6 eV lamp. The PID was calibrated on-Site using ambient air and 100 ppmv isobutylene.

Soil samples were collected from soil borings SB-1 and SB-4 at the 1.5 to 2-foot depth interval for subsequent laboratory analysis of VOCs, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), and lead by EPA methods 8021B, 8015, and 6010B respectively. Sample selection was biased towards those exhibiting the highest PID readings and visual/olfactory evidence of contamination. Samples for VOC analysis were preserved in the field with methanol. Following collection, all samples were placed in an ice-filled cooler and transported under a chain-of-custody to Endyne, Inc., of Williston, Vermont for subsequent analysis.

3.3 Monitoring Well Installations

In order to further assess contaminant and hydrogeologic conditions at the Site, monitoring wells (MW-1 through MW-7) were constructed within seven (7) of the eleven (11) soil borings; no wells were constructed in soil borings SB-2, SB-5, SB-10, or SB-11. All wells were screened across the water table; deeply screened piezometers were not installed as proposed due the presence of a clay unit at depth. The locations of the monitoring wells, relative to Site features, are presented on Figure 2.

All monitoring wells were installed to a depth of about eight (8) feet bgs. Monitoring wells were constructed using one-inch diameter schedule 40 poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) with flush-threaded joints. Wells consisted of about seven (7) feet of factory-slotted 0.010” screen with sections of PVC riser added to extend the top of the casings to approximately 0.3 feet bgs. Each borehole annulus was backfilled with #1 sand pack to above the screened interval, and a bentonite-chip surface seal was set within each annulus immediately above the sand pack. Well casings were topped with expansion caps, and protected at the surface with flush-mounted road boxes. Immediately following installation, wells were developed to remove fine-grained sediment via a peristaltic pump.

3.4 Monitoring Well Survey

On April 9, 2010, AGS surveyed the newly installed monitoring wells relative to existing Site features using an automatic level, with an azimuth accuracy of ± 1.0 feet, and an elevation accuracy of ± 0.01 feet. Elevations were surveyed relative to an arbitrary Site datum of 100.00 feet.

3.5 Hydraulic Monitoring On April 15, 2010, AGS collected a synoptic round of liquid levels in on-Site monitoring wells using an electronic interface probe. No free-phase petroleum product was observed in the monitoring wells. Ground water elevations were subsequently calculated for each monitoring well by subtracting the measured depth-to-water readings from the respective surveyed top-of-casing elevations, which are relative to an arbitrary Site datum of 100.00 feet. 3.6 Water Quality Sampling

On April 15, 2010, AGS collected ground water samples from monitoring wells MW-1 through MW-7, and the water supply well located at 1 Center Bay Road. AGS collected a water sample from the residence / bed & breakfast at 4 Center Bay Road on April 16th. The on-Site dug well water supply was not sampled because: 1) the well was determined to be hydraulically upgradient of the on-Site petroleum contamination, and not at risk of impact from the release; and 2) the well is no longer in service, and did not have power supplied to the pump.

Prior to purging, AGS collected a synoptic round of liquid levels in the monitoring wells using an electronic interface probe; the probe was properly decontaminated in between locations. Monitoring wells were purged and sampled using a peristaltic pump, with dedicated Teflon-line polyethylene and silicone tubing. Approximately three (3) well volumes were removed from each well prior to sampling. The water supply samples were collected upstream of any water treatment systems, after allowing the water to flow for about 10 minutes at the maximum flow rate. No aerators were present upstream of the sampling locations. AGS acquired a trip blank and duplicate sample from MW-3 for quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) purposes.

Former Kestler’s Market, Alburgh Center, VT Applied GeoSolutions, LLC Supplemental Site Investigation Page 6

Following collection, all samples were properly preserved and placed in an ice-filled cooler for transport under a chain-of-custody to the VT DEC laboratory in Waterbury, Vermont. The trip blank and samples from the monitoring wells were analyzed for VOCs by EPA Method 8021B; supply well samples were analyzed for VOCs via EPA Method 8260B. All samples, except the trip blank, were analyzed for TPH (diesel-range organics) by EPA method 8015B, and RCRA 8 metals (via EPA 245.1 and SW 6020A). Of note, for metals analysis, AGS only requested that the laboratory analyze for lead; the full RCRA 8 list was provided due to laboratory error.

3.7 Indoor Air Screening On April 2, 2010, AGS used a PID (Ion Science model 1000+) to screen the ambient air within the first floor of the northern portion of the on-Site building. The basement of the building contained significant standing water, and did not have lighting; as such, AGS deemed these conditions unsafe and did not screen the basement with a PID.

4.0 INVESTIGATION RESULTS

4.1 Geophysical Survey Several anomalies were imaged by the GPR / EM61 surveys; however, none of the anomalies suggested the presence of existing UST systems within the surveyed area. Most of the anomalies were related to surficial metal or known utilities. EM61 data collected in the field were post processed; Figure 3 provides the Bottom Coil (C2) EM61 data as a high resolution color plot in units of mV for each survey. Green to light blue areas represent background areas where little or no subsurface metallic conductors exist. Yellow through red and magenta colors represent elevated EM61 response due to surface or subsurface metallic conductors. GPR data were interpreted in real time in the field.

4.2 Geology/Hydrogeology

According to the surficial geology map for the area (provided in H&N’s Site Investigation Report), the Site is located on glacial till, just west of a contact with marine clay deposits. However, based the soil boring logs generated during the SSI, overburden materials within the investigated portion of the Site generally consist of a couple feet of fine to coarse sand with varying amount of silt and

Page 12: SUPPLEMENTAL SITE INVESTIGATION REPORT Former Kestler’s ... · 2.0 BACKGROUND ... evaluate the risk to off-Site sensitive receptors, including the indoor air and drinking water

Former Kestler’s Market, Alburgh Center, VT Applied GeoSolutions, LLC Supplemental Site Investigation Page 7

organic matter, overlying fine sands to about seven (7) to eight (8) feet bgs. The sand is underlain by a thin layer (<1 foot thick) of fine sand and silty clay (with shell fragments), which overlies silty clay. Bedrock was not encountered on-Site during the SSI to the maximum exploratory depth of 15 feet bgs. According to the drinking water well logs for wells believed to be located at 1 and 4 Center Bay Road, which were obtained from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources GIS website, bedrock was encountered at these locations between nine (9) and 15 feet bgs. Bedrock beneath the Site is mapped as the Stony Point Formation, which is calcareous black shale that grades into argillaceous limestone.

On April 15, 2010, depth-to-water measurements in the overburden monitoring wells ranged from about two (2) feet bgs in monitoring wells MW-2 and MW-7 to about three (3) feet bgs in monitoring well MW-3. The water table was generally present within the fine sand unit. Calculated relative ground water elevations ranged from 94.92 feet at monitoring well MW-7 to 95.58 feet at monitoring well MW-2 (Table 4-1).

The average water-table gradient across the investigated area of the Site was about 0.016 feet/foot. Assuming ground water flow is perpendicular to equipotential hydraulic-head contours (Figure 4), apparent shallow ground water flow in the overburden aquifer was generally to the east / southeast,

Page 13: SUPPLEMENTAL SITE INVESTIGATION REPORT Former Kestler’s ... · 2.0 BACKGROUND ... evaluate the risk to off-Site sensitive receptors, including the indoor air and drinking water

Former Kestler’s Market, Alburgh Center, VT Applied GeoSolutions, LLC Supplemental Site Investigation Page 8

towards US Route 2. Vertical ground water flow components within the overburden aquifer were not quantified.

The bottom of the storm sewer drain that parallels US Route 2 on the eastern portion of the Site is about 3.5 feet bgs (as measured at the catch basin), which is below the water-table depth on April 15th; as such, this underground utility may have been influencing shallow ground water flow, either acting as a preferential pathway or hydraulic barrier (diverting shallow ground water flow beneath the pipe), depending on the integrity of the pipe and the hydraulic properties of the bedding materials used for installing the drain.

Of note, during the SSI field visits, the basement of the on-Site building was flooded and the building was vacant. However, according to Mr. Mashtare, when the building was occupied, water would be pumped from the basement under high water-table conditions. Under this scenario, local shallow ground water flow patterns would be altered as ground water was drawn towards the pump.

4.3 Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Several of the individual VOC concentrations in ground water samples MW-1, MW-3, and MW-4 were estimated by the laboratory because the concentrations were outside of the calibration range. According to Dr. Gerald DiVincenzo of the VT DEC laboratory, the reported estimated values are likely biased low.

No VOCs were detected in the trip blank. The relative percent difference (RPD) of the blind field duplicate sample collected from MW-3 ranged from 0.04 percent to 10 percent of the original sample results for individual VOCs. The RPD for the TPH duplicate was 3.4 percent. The RPD for detected metals ranged from 11.2 percent to 46.9 percent. 4.4 Contaminant Distribution 4.4.1 Soil

4.4.1.1 PID Field Screening Peak PID headspace readings (per soil boring) obtained during the soil boring program are displayed on Figure 5, and in Table 4-2.

No elevated PID readings (i.e. >1 ppmv) were recorded at soil borings SB-3, SB-5, SB-8, and SB-9.

In general, the highest PID readings, and visual/olfactory evidence of contamination, were observed within the “smear zone” located in the sandy deposits between about two (2) to five (5) feet bgs. PID readings decreased significantly within the underlying silty clay unit.

PID readings are also provided on the boring logs (Appendix A).

4.4.3 Indoor Air On April 2, 2010, ambient PID readings within the northern portion of the first floor of the on-Site building were non-detect (i.e. 0.0 ppmv).

5.0 CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL AGS has developed a conceptual site model (CSM) based on the available hydrogeologic and contaminant distribution data available for the Site. Gasoline appears to have been released at the Site from a former UST system. The release(s) occurred over 26 years ago (the time the UST is reported to have been removed); however, the precise timing and volume of the release(s) is unknown. Given the contaminant distribution observed during the SSI, gasoline was likely released to the subsurface in the suspected vicinity of former gasoline UST, but not near the suspected location of the former fuel dispenser. Gasoline is comprised of hundreds of individual compounds. These compounds are typically readily sorbed to soil and organic matter, have a relatively low aqueous solubility, and are biodegradable (under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions). In general, once released to the subsurface, petroleum hydrocarbons (e.g. gasoline) can partition into four phases: 1) vapor (i.e. soil gas), 2) aqueous (dissolved in pore water or ground water), 3) sorbed (to soil minerals and organic matter), and 4) remain as light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL), either residual or mobile. The phase partitioning and migration of petroleum hydrocarbons, once released to the subsurface, depends on several factors, including: the volume of the release, the physical and chemical properties of the individual hydrocarbon compounds, and the physical and chemical properties of the media that the hydrocarbons were released into. At the former Kestler’s Market Site, the gasoline release has impacted soil and ground water at concentrations above applicable standards for select compounds, and hydrocarbons are known to be present in the vapor, sorbed, and dissolved phases. No measureable free-phase NAPL was detected in any of the Site monitoring wells; however, heavy sheening was observed in several soil borings, suggesting residual LNAPL may also be present. The magnitude and extent of gasoline-related impact to soil and ground water on the Property has been reasonably characterized; however, the downgradient extent of contamination has not been defined, and may extend off-Site, beneath US Route 2.

On-Site soils within the upper two feet bgs are impacted by ethylbenzene, total xylenes, and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene at concentrations above the respective residential RSLs, and TPH at concentrations above the VT DOH cleanup guidelines of 200 mg/Kg and 1,000 mg/Kg for residential and commercial Sites, respectively (for direct contact). The area of on-Site soil with PID readings greater than 200 ppmv is estimated at about 750 ft2, and extends from the former UST area to US Route 2 (Figure 5). Vertically, the highest PID readings, and visual/olfactory evidence of contamination, were generally observed within the “smear zone” located in the sandy deposits between about 1.5 to 5 feet bgs; PID readings decreased significantly within the underlying silty clay unit. The shallow overburden aquifer is impacted by target petroleum-related VOCs and total lead at concentrations above respective VGESs; however, target VOCs have not been detected in downgradient bedrock water supplies. The dissolved-phase VOC plume appears to have migrated within the shallow overburden aquifer from the former UST area to the east/southeast, in the direction of shallow ground water flow, and likely extends off-Site beneath US Route 2. The on-Site portion of the 1,000 µg/L total dissolved VOC isopleth covers an estimated 700 ft2; the downgradient horizontal extent of the plume has not been determined (Figure 6). There are insufficient monitoring data to determine whether the dissolved-phase VOC plume is expanding, receding, or stabilized, since there is only one round of analytical data. Given the shallow water table, the storm drain that parallels US Route 2, oblique to shallow ground water flow, may influence contaminant migration by either acting as a preferential pathway or partial hydraulic barrier, depending on the integrity of the pipe and the hydraulic properties of the bedding materials used for installing the drain. Dissolved VOC mass flux likely occurs predominantly within the more conductive sand unit that is present to about seven (7) to eight (8) feet bgs. The hydraulic conductivity (K) of the underlying silty clay unit is likely several orders of magnitude less than that of the sand unit, and PID field screening suggests gross petroleum contamination has not migrated significantly downward into the silty clay. As such, the silty clay unit may limit the risk of dissolved-phase impact to the downgradient bedrock water supplies. However, since the extensiveness of the silty-clay unit downgradient of the Site is unknown, bedrock in this area is believed to be fairly shallow (within 9 to 15 feet bgs), and the hydraulic relationship between the overburden and bedrock aquifer is currently unknown, the bedrock aquifer may be still be at risk without data to prove otherwise. Given the age of the former gasoline UST, it likely once stored leaded gasoline. Lead was detected at concentrations below the RSLs (for direct contact) in both of the shallow soil samples collected within the suspected gasoline release area; since a “background” soil sample was not collected and analyzed, there are insufficient data to evaluate whether the presence of lead in shallow soils is naturally occurring or attributed to the

former gasoline release. Total lead was detected in both of the supply well samples and each of the overburden monitoring well samples, except monitoring well MW-2; however, total lead was only detected above the VGES of 15.0 µg/L in samples collected from monitoring wells MW-1, MW-5, and MW-6. Evaluating total lead, turbidity, and VOC data from overburden ground water samples, in the context of Site hydrogeology and their spatial distribution relative to the gasoline release area, it is possible that lead from the former gasoline release is attributing to elevated lead concentrations in ground water (above background levels); however, VGES exceedances may be attributed to high sample turbidity. Sensitive Receptor Evaluation Based on the current CSM, potential exposure pathways to human and/or ecological receptors are evaluated below.

• Indoor Air – For the on-Site building, there currently does not appear to be a

significant exposure risk to human receptors via vapor intrusion of petroleum VOCs to indoor air because, among other factors: A. the building is vacant;

B. during the ISI, PID readings in the basement were non-detect, and during the

SSI, PID readings on the first floor were non-detect;

C. the dissolved-phase VOC plume is hydraulically downgradient of the building; and

D. concentrations of target dissolved-phase VOCs in the overburden monitoring

wells were below the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services’ (NHDES) respective “GW-2” screening levels, provided in the NHDES guidance document titled Vapor Intrusion Guidance, dated July 2006. The VT DEC does not currently have a vapor intrusion guidance document of its own.

However, the downgradient residences at 1 and 4 Center Bay Road may be at risk of vapor intrusion without data to prove otherwise, because: 1) the water table is relatively shallow and the downgradient extent of the dissolved-phase VOC plume has not been defined; and 2) it is possible that the plumes’ center of mass has migrated off-Site (i.e. “GW-2” screening levels may be exceeded off-Site).

• Soil – On-Site soils within the upper two feet bgs are impacted by ethylbenzene, total xylenes, and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene at concentrations above the respective residential RSLs, and TPH at concentrations above the VT DOH cleanup guidelines of 200 mg/Kg and 1,000 mg/Kg for residential and commercial Sites, respectively (for direct contact). Exposure pathways for humans through impacted soils include dermal absorption (via direct contact), ingestion, and inhalation. The soils are currently covered with about six (6) inches of gravel, and as such, may not present a significant risk to human health or the environment. However, any future Site redevelopment or intrusive activities could possibly result in exposure.

• Ground Water – Although the shallow overburden aquifer is impacted by target petroleum-related VOCs and total lead at concentrations above respective VGESs, target VOCs have not been detected in downgradient bedrock water supplies to date, and lead, although detected in these wells, was not present at concentrations above the VGES. However, since the extent and status (i.e. advancing, stable, or receding) of the dissolved VOC plume has not been defined, and the hydraulic relationship between the overburden and bedrock aquifers is unknown, the downgradient bedrock drinking water wells may be at risk for future impact.

• Subsurface Utilities – The storm drain on the eastern portion of the Site may be impacted by petroleum contaminants; no other subsurface utilities appear to be impacted or at risk at this time.

No other sensitive receptors appears to be impacted or at significant risk.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Given the results of the SSI and previous Site work, AGS has drawn the following conclusions:

• No existing USTs were identified within the study area, indicating that the gasoline UST has been removed.

• Gasoline appears to have been released at the Site from a former UST system. The release(s) occurred over 26 years ago (the time the UST is reported to have been removed); however, the precise timing and volume of the release(s) is unknown.

• The petroleum release has impacted soil and ground water. Gasoline constituents are known to be present in the vapor, sorbed, and dissolved phases. No measureable free-phase NAPL was detected in any of the Site monitoring wells; however, heavy sheening was observed in several soil borings, suggesting residual NAPL may also be present.

• The magnitude and extent of gasoline-related impact to soil and ground water on the Property has been reasonably characterized; however, the downgradient extent of contamination has not been defined, and may extend off-Site, beneath US Route 2.

• On-Site soils within the upper two feet bgs are impacted by ethylbenzene, total xylenes, and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene at concentrations above the respective residential RSLs, and TPH at concentrations above the VT DOH cleanup guidelines of 200 mg/Kg and 1,000 mg/Kg for residential and commercial Sites, respectively (for direct contact). The area of on-Site soil with PID readings greater than 200 ppmv is estimated at about 750 ft2, and extends from the former UST area to US Route 2.

• The shallow overburden aquifer is impacted by target petroleum-related VOCs and total lead at concentrations above respective VGESs; however, target VOCs have not been detected in downgradient bedrock water supplies. The on-Site portion of the 1,000 µg/L total dissolved VOC isopleth covers an estimated 700 ft2; the downgradient horizontal extent of the plume has not been determined. There are insufficient monitoring data to determine whether the dissolved-phase VOC plume is expanding, receding, or stabilized, since there is only one round of analytical data.

• Sensitive receptors /media impacted or at potential risk include soil, ground

water, subsurface utilities, and indoor air.

Based on the above conclusions, AGS recommends that the downgradient extent of the contaminant plume be characterized to better evaluate the risk to off-Site sensitive receptors, including the indoor air and drinking water supplies at 1 and 4 Center Bay Road. Once this delineation is completed, the need for corrective action and/or monitoring can be determined.
