Bill's Gas & Country Store

SITE DESCRIPTION

The Bill’s Gas and Country Store has been in operation for more than twenty years.  Seven underground storage tanks (USTs), along with two pump islands and all associated piping, were removed from the Site in March 1992 prior to the installation of a new UST system.  Confirmation samples were collected from the limits of the excavations.  A number of the samples analyzed were above MTCA Method A cleanup levels for petroleum hydrocarbons and for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes.  Contamination was found beneath five of the UST's and the three pump-islands.  No additional excavation was conducted due to the proximity to site structures.  It was determined that remaining impacted soils would be managed in-place with the use of institutional controls.  The majority of the site is covered by asphalt and building structures.  The Restrictive Covenant for the property, recorded in 2003, ensures that the integrity of the cap will be protected through maintaining the current use of the Site.
