SITE SPECIFIC INFORMATION

26 August 2020

Defense Fuel Support Point Verona, NY

SECTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) Verona (Site) is a DLA permitted inactive bulk fuel facility. The Site is located in the Town of Verona in Oneida County, in mid-central New York.

It is between Syracuse on the west and Utica on the east. The site is located at Latitude 43°

7’27” north and Longitude 75° 35’35” west.

DFSP Verona was constructed in 1959 as a fuel storage and transfer facility. All fueling operations ceased at the facility as of September 2014. When operational, DFSP Verona’s purpose was to provide Jet Propulsion Fuel Grade JP-4 (1959-1992) and JP-8. The New York

State Thruway (I-90) is visible to the south of the site. Exit 33 off the Thruway is within one half mile of the site. The property is roughly rectangular in shape with its longer sides on a SW/NE axis. The longer side on SE border of the property runs along County Road 83, also known as

Main Street in Verona. The opposite NW longer side runs along a Conrail railroad line.

There are eight buildings on the site as well as three large above ground jet fuel storage

Tanks surrounded by containment dikes. There is also an overhead fuel pumping station to load tank trucks. A fuel additive tank and slop tank are located near the overhead fuel pumping station. An open air pump building is located next to the overhead fuel pumping station. There is also a 179,000 gallon water storage tank immediately adjacent to the Fire/Foam building.

At the time of the1977-78 acquisition, the plat map for the site indicates four fuel storage tanks were located on the site. Three of the tanks had a capacity of 80,000 barrels of jet fuel

(3,360,000 gallons per tank) and one tank had the capacity of 54,000 barrels of aviation gas

(2,268,000 gallons). In 2011, Fuel Tank #4, the smallest tank, has been razed.

The three remaining fuel storage tanks, the office building, and the maintenance and support buildings are located in the southwestern portion of the property. The shape of this main activity area resembles a smaller rectangle located within the larger rectangle shape of the property. The southernmost tip of the property is approximately 150 feet from the New York State Thruway.

Exit 33 from the Thruway is east of this point by less than one-half mile. The northwester portion of the property between the main activity area and the railroad line is open meadowland with some trees along the railroad embankment.

Northeast of the main activity area there is approximately 50% of the total acreage of the property. That area is separated from the main operations area by a tall chain-link fence. This undeveloped land extends from Main Street to the railroad line. It has been left fallow or farmed on a rental basis by local farmers. The land across Main Street to the east of the main activity area contains single family housing units and small commercial office establishments located in a residential housing type of unit.

1.1 Environmental History:

The site was first acquired in April, 1959 by Verona Terminal Storage from the State of New

York. Verona Terminal Storage then leased the site to the United States in May, 1959 for use as a fuel storage facility.

In the lease, the United States was granted the right to acquire the site. The acquisition process began with passage of Public Law 94-367 in July 1976 to provide funds for the “Taking” of the land based upon the declared needs of the US Air Force for its fuel storage program. The official

“Declaration of Taking” notice was filed in December, 1977, and ended with a judgment for

$270,000 as the just compensation for the property in June, 1979. The United States acquired fee simple ownership of the property “subject however, to existing easements for public roads and highways, public utilities, railroads, and pipelines.”

The original purpose of the Property was to serve as a fuel storage support facility for the

Griffiss Air Force Base located in Rome, New York. Over the years, the DFSP served this mission and also served other military bases in the area. Griffiss AFB was closed as part of Base

Realignment and Closure of 1995. The other military users of the site were closed or found other facilities to suit their purposes.

In 2013, a small release of 30 to 40 gallons at the loading dock was reported; this spill was remediated and closed in March 2013. In August 2013 a petroleum odor was detected from a soil sample, and in June 2015 petroleum-impacted soil was discovered during removal of underground storage tank (UST) 121. Both these events were closed in December 2016 with contamination in place according to a New York State Department of Conservation (NYSDEC) letter dated 6 December 2016 addressed to the DLA.2 As a result, ongoing Land Use Controls

(LUCs)/Institutional Controls (ICs) are required at the DFSP. DLA is responsible for funding

LUCs/ICs until the DFSP can be transferred to the USAF.

1992-2014 – DLA operated the DFSP to support the needs of various military-related organizations. During facility closure activities conducted in 2015, fuel storage tanks were cleaned and associated fuel system components were removed, and associated petroleum-impacted soil was excavated and disposed off-site as part of the Military Construction

(MILCON) project

2015-2017 - DFSP plans, programs and permits were terminated (i.e. SPCCP, FRP, OPA 90

Exercises, UST Operator Certification, MOSF permit, SWPPP). The OWS and AFFF fire suppression system was closed in 2017. SPDES permit terminated. OWS (Tank 116 UST) remains in place for possible future use if the facility is ever reactivated. Concrete grit chamber, sludge box and coalescing filters were cleaned of liquids and solids. Storm water rerouted to

Stony Creek bypassing OWS. The AFFF system was flushed using clean potable water to include all associated piping. 15,110 gallons were removed from the system, bladders and drums. The site has been in caretaker status since 2015.

2018 Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) -The site has been regulated as Potentially Inactive. A Potentially Inactive hazardous waste disposal site (Class P -potential registry site)] by the New York Department of Conservation (DEC) under NYDEC

Law Title 13 § 27-1301 - 1321. This statute allows the site owner to petition for a hearing to modify or remove the site classification of the site as a potential hazardous waste disposal site.

The NYSDEC may request a Record of Decision (ROD). In July 2017 and July 2018 DLA collected groundwater samples from monitoring wells at the site and found perfluorinated compounds (PFC)s in the groundwater. In December 2018 and January 2019, a second Site

Investigation was conducted, and included the ground water sampling of 8 monitoring wells. A

Site Characterization Report was drafted April 2019.

2019 February - Last open spill report 17-08575 polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and PFOA was closed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC).

September 2019 -DLA initiated a mitigation action that included additional characterization, excavation and thermal treatment of PFAS-contaminated soil. Pilot treatment tests may be indefinitely delayed.

2018 - The NYSDEC verbally approved action for an Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS).

Type 6 ATSM Standard Classification of Property types based upon release of a hazardous substance (PFOS) to the environment. Type 6 - An area or parcel of real property where release, disposal, or migration or some combination thereof, of hazardous substances has occurred, but required response actions have not yet been initiated.

November 2019-Guidance from NYSDEC, 30 MWs prompted sampling w/possible step out monitoring wells (MWs) being installed to define the PFOS area of impact. The area will be defined by additional soil boring samples. Reporting completed December 2019.
