Problem/Comments A hydrant fueling system was used for fueling aircraft on the FIA south apron in the 80's. Problems with the system resulted in the system being shut down. The system was drained in the early 90's. DOT initially reported discovery of free phase liquid product during a structural investigation to replace sewer line. Three borings drilled and contaminated soil discovered in B-1 and free product in B-3, none in B-2. An expedited site assessment was conducted in 1999, which identified three areas where leaking had occurred: the low point drain and two valve pits. The expedited site assessment was limited to the northeastern portion of the pipeline. Free product recovery was conducted at each of the three spill areas between 2000 and 2004 with a total of 145 gallons of product recovered. Since 2004, DOT has been reworking the risk-based calculations that were prepared in the 1999 expedited site assessment. Groundwater monitoring is ongoing. This site is intermingled with the FIA - Drainage Pond for more information see file number 100.38.128.

07/01/2005Update or Other ActionThe majority of the investigative work and product recovery for the FIA Hydrant Fuel System were documented in the CS database under the entry called "FIA Drainage Pond". In July 2005 it was decided that the petroleum issues associated with the hydrant fuel line and other LUSTs would be handled in this entry of the LUST database. Solvents that were identified during this work are not related to the fuel line or LUSTs, so the solvents will be addressed under the FIA Drainage Pond entry.Wiegers, Janice
08/24/2005Report or Workplan Review - OtherResponse to ADEC comments, NFRAP Request for Three UST Sites and Fuel Hydrant Sites received today. PM will summarize upon completion of review.DeRuyter, Kim
12/16/2005Report or Workplan Review - OtherGroundwater monitoring and well removal report submitted. Wells MW-1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 24, and 26 were decommissioned. Before decommissioning, groundwater samples were analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO from MW-1R, MW-19, MW-20, MW-24, and the lawn watering well. MW-1R contained DRO above cleanup levels, so it was not removed. No contaminants were found in the lawn watering well. The firefighting well at the Airport Rescue and Firefighting building was not sampled because it is not used and DOT plans to decommission it. All remaining wells were resurveyed for elevation.Wiegers, Janice
02/09/2006Conditional Closure ApprovedNFRAP letter sent to FIA. Soil and groundwater contamination remains in the vicinity of the low point drain and the valve pits. Solvent contamination found during this cleanup will be addressed through the FIA Drainage Pond site in file 100.38.188.Wiegers, Janice
02/09/2006Institutional Control Record EstablishedSoil and groundwater Ics have been established for this site. These Ics are documented in the Record of Decision letter, in the DEC's IC registry, and in the FIA leasing file. Future groundwater monitor will include the alernative point of compliance wells (MW-25, MW-15, and MW-18) and in additional monitoring wellss (MW-1R, MW-22, MW-29, and MW-30). These wells will be sampled annually during the fall high water event for GRO, DRO, and BTEX.Wiegers, Janice
01/16/2007Report or Workplan Review - OtherAnnual groundwater monitoring report received. MW-29, and MW-30 were replaced. All sample results were with-in normal fluctuations with the exception of MW-25, which showed an increase in DRO from 5 mg/L in 2005 to 111 mg/L, and GRO up from 6 mg/L to 17. OASIS concludes that this is a laboratory or field error.DeRuyter, Kim
01/16/2007Report or Workplan Review - OtherMonitoring well decomissioning and limited Groundwater Sampling from the South Heavy Apron Borer: FIA Fuel Hydrant System Contaminated Site Project Report Received. Monitoring Wells MW-21, MW-22, MW-23 which were installed to monitor contamination associated with the Fuel Hydrant Line near the Passenger Terminal Building were decommissioned in preparation for the Passenger Terminal Expansion. The wells were sampled prior to decomissioning. VOC analytes were detected below cleanup levels. DRO was detected in MW-23 at 1.89 mg/L which is with in normal fluctuations for this well.DeRuyter, Kim
03/25/2008Report or Workplan Review - OtherJuly 2007 MW-32 was removed as part of the terminal expansion. Historically, this well has been ND except DRO, latest sampling is also clean.Everson, Neal
03/25/2008Report or Workplan Review - OtherReviewed 2007 annual gw monitoring report. Free product 0.01' detected in MW-25. MW-25 also had DRO fall back to historical concentrations. All data seem to be within historical fluctuations. Exceptions- MW-15 has new max for DRO. MW-29R replaced MW-29 40 feet away.Everson, Neal
01/22/2009Report or Workplan Review - OtherReviewed 2008 Annual Groundwater Monitoring report. MW-15 had the hightest DRO concentration since sampling began in 1999- but same order of magnitude as previous sampling. MW-29R may be removed due to low concentrations of COCs in last two years. Next sampling event fall of 2009. Everson, Neal
