PHASE 2: Removal of 500-gallon Diesel tank UST and associated components:

Permanent removal per IADNR UST closure requirements.

1. Locate utilities a min. of 50 feet from the UST tank, to include where the underground piping/conduit runs from the tank to the where it enters the chiller plant. SEE above…

2. Once the E85 UST has been converted to the new diesel fuel tank and is in operation and functioning properly, then the old 500-gallon diesel UST and all associated components (e.g., fuel pump/dispenser, piping, electrical and fuel/water monitoring system will need removed out of the ground. The 500-gallon diesel UST is approximately 50 feet to the west wall of the chiller plant building this includes all conduit with electrical wiring, fuel piping/vent piping. This must be performed by an

IADNR authorized/certified remover, installer, and tester.

3. Layout work over underground storage tank and barricade area off.

4. During removal of the old diesel UST and related components a minimum of 6-foot barrier fence will be installed around the work area for pedestrian safety.

5. The work area will consist of the area in which the UST, piping and components are located, and the area needed to maneuver vehicles safely. The area outside the fence/barrier will be kept free of mud and debris and will not impede vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Construction/caution tape will be wrapped around the outside of the fence and work area.

6. Excavate and expose (1) UST: 500-gallon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) UST.

Monitor excavation with LEL during work activity.

7. Remove and dispose of remaining liquids in UST. The fuel monitoring system communications has been cut so there is no way to know the exact amount of diesel fuel remaining in the UST other than a dipstick the VA uses.

8. Remove tank shell and product lines going to island from excavation area and haul-off to approved waste facility. Remove dispenser and island and haul-off to approved waste facility. This must be performed by an IADNR authorized/certified remover, installer, and tester.

9. The fuel pump/dispenser, piping and UST will be disposed of by the contractor in accordance with IDNR, local, state, and federal requirements at no additional costs to the Government.

VA Central Iowa Health Care System Des Moines, IA 50310

COR immediately after the results have been determined. The results will be provided to the IDNR for determining the need for well monitoring installation.

11. The area in which the UST was removed will remain open and not backfilled until the soil samples are returned and the IDNR has determined whether well monitors will need to be installed. The amount of well monitoring devices and location of installation will be determined by the IDNR and a certified groundwater professional.

12. If well monitors are required by the IDNR they will be installed in accordance with

IDNR requirements, and all documentation filed with the IDNR before and after installation with copies sent to the COR.

13. If well monitors are not needed the area in which the UST was removed will be back filled and packed. The area where the old conduit, fuel and vent pipes were removed will be backfilled.

14. Backfill and compact excavation to rough grade with fill material.

15. Provide GWP closure reports to customer and Iowa DNR within 45 days of removal of the UST.
