ST JBJECT: SUMMARY OF TANK REMOVAL AND CLOSURE REPORT
TWO 8,000 GALLON UNDERGROUND FIBERGLASS WRAPPED STEEL TANKS
WERE REMOVED AT THE COHASSET STORE IN CHICO, CALIFORNIA. THE
TANKS WERE REMOVED ON 11-21-07. THE ENTIRE PIPING SYSTEM WAS
DRAINED OF ALL REMAINING PRODUCT AND REMOVED. ALL REMAINING
PRODUCT WAS PUMPED INTO 55 GALLON DRUMS AS WELL AS RINSATE
FROM THE RINSING OF EACH TANK.
THE RINSATE MATERIAL WAS TRANSPORTED TO INDUSTRIAL OIL
REFINING IN KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON. (COPY OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
MANIFEST IS ENCLOSED).
BOTH TANKS WERE TRIPLE RINSED USING A DEGREASING DETERGENT
AND PRESSURE WASHER UNTIL THE TANKS WERE NON -DETECT FOR ANY
PETROLEUM VAPOR AND MAINTAINED NORMAL ATMOSPHERIC OXYGEN
LEVELS. THE TANKS WERE THEN CERTIFIED NON -HAZARDOUS. (FORMS
ENCLOSED). THE TANKS WERE LOADED AND TRANSPORTED OFF-SITE FOR
USE AS FIRE PROTECTION WATER STORAGE TANKS.
AFTER TANKS WERE REMOVED SOIL SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED (NO
GROUND WATER WAS ENCOUNTERED) APPROXIMATELY TWO FEET
BELOW THE END AND BOTTOM OF EACH TANK AND ONE SAMPLE AT EACH
OF THE TWO DISPENSERS. (SAMPLE RESULTS ENCLOSED). ANALYTICAL
RESULTS SHOW VARY LOW LEVELS OF BTEX AND GASOLINE, AND NON -
DETECT ON OXYGENATES.
