Board staff agrees with ERS's assessment that natural bacteria in the area are contributing to biochemical degradation of nitrogen in soil and groundwater. Confirmation samples show groundwater concentrations of nitrate at 82 milligrams per liter (mg/L) in December 2019, above the Maximum Contaminant Level of 10 mg/L. However, due to continued natural degradation of nitrogen, these levels of nitrate are projected to drop to 10 mg/L by 2023. This represents a drop in nitrate concentrations to sufficient levels in an acceptable time frame. Based on these data, BM Storage Corporation submitted a Site Closure Request in July 2020. Board staff reviewed the request for regulatory closure and believe there is merit to this request. As such, we are conducting a public participation comment period that allows interested parties to comment on the proposed case closure. After March 2, 2021, Board staff intends to complete its closure review process and issue a No Further Action determination for this site.
