3) Norma Farrow - 440 North Main Street: This facility is located across Main Street amd 500 feet southeast of the subject site. In February 1987, one abandoned 500-gallon UST (empty but formerly used to contain leaded gasoline) was removed from this location. An Unauthorized Tank Release report was filed with the EHS on March 4, 1989. The one soil sample taken at the tank excavation location tested negative for BTXE; however, it tested positive for lead at 18 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and total petroleum hydrocarbons (C6-C10 range) at 1.3 mg/kg. Further assessment was requested by the EHS based on these laboratory results. However, there is no file documentation of further assessment, or County requests of Ms. Norma Farrow (the property owner) to conduct a subsurface investigation. Based on the absence of EHS action regarding this facility, its crossgradient location relative to the subject site, and the low levels of soil contamination detected, this facility appears to have a low potential for environmental impairment to the subject site. Based on ATEC's review of the above files, the three facilities which reported tank leaks do not appear to present an immediate environmental threat to the site. As both the Beacon and former Jackpot Gas stations are located hydraulically downgradient, and have been conducting quarterly groundwater sampling which has indicated non-detectable to very low contaminant levels in most wells sampled, these facilities do not appear to pose a concern to the subject site and no further investigation of these facilities appears warranted at this time. The third facility, located southeast of and crossgradient to the site, does not appear to be presently under order to remediate low-level soil contamination previously discovered there. Because groundwater is not known to be impacted at this property, the soil contamination alone does not appear to present an environmental threat to the subject site. Therefore, no further investigation of this facility appears warranted at this time. 13
