SECTION 2.0 FACILITY INFORMATION

2.1 Facility Information

The former Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) Ozol facility is a former fuel storage and refueling area located west of Martinez, CA encompassing approximately 51 acres. The DFSP is composed of five distinct remediation areas: Administrative (Admin) Area; Pier Area;

Concord Pump Station (CPS); Pipeline between the DFSP and CPS; and Tank Farm Area which contains 12 underground bulk fuel storage tanks (BFCUSTs). In 1982 seeps of fuel were noticed at the surface during a major repair program for the tanks. Based on these observations, a Preliminary Assessment was conducted which suggested that fuel impacts to groundwater and soil at the site resulted from leaks in the BFCUSTs and associated piping. The Tank Farm BFCUSTs and associated pipelines were emptied and cleaned in 1999, placing the facility in caretaker status.

A groundwater extraction system was operated at the Admin Area from July 2008 to January 2013. Groundwater extraction in the Upper Tank Farm Area has been ongoing since 1996. In November 2012, a new groundwater remediation system was installed. In addition to the groundwater remediation systems, light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) recovery is conducted using passive, down-well skimmers, hand bailing, and absorbent socks as needed.

Semi-annual groundwater monitoring is ongoing at DFSP Ozol. Dissolved-phase TPH contamination continues to be detected in the Upper Tank Farm Area and Admin Area above the RWQCB San Francisco Region Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs). Decreases in TPH concentrations were reported at many locations.

In October 2017, the Findings Report for Additional Site Characterization, Modeling, and Evaluation for Site Closure Planning (Findings Report) was finalized. The report presented a comprehensive analysis of new and historical sampling data across the DFSP and recommended preparation of a site closure plan for the Admin and Upper Tank Farm Areas with multiple regulatory site closure strategies.

Per the October 2017 Work Plan Addendum No. 2, supplemental work was conducted to collect additional data needed to evaluate regulatory site closure scenarios. This work included LNAPL characterization, carbon evaluation, and a surface water evaluation. A three-dimensional remedial assessment was conducted of the soil and bedrock chemical concentrations data. This assessment was to determine the volumes of soil and bedrock that may require active remediation to achieve regulatory site closure and guide future remedial activities at the site. In addition, a preliminary assessment was conducted to determine the feasibility of using dual- phase groundwater and soil vapor extraction (SVE).

A hazardous materials survey was conducted in June and July of 2018. Asbestos, lead-containing paint, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were all identified within structures slated for demolition at the Concord Pump Station. Demolition of the structures will not be performed under the contract awarded for this solicitation.

A new remediation system at the Administration Area was installed in FY18, including a groundwater recovery and treatment system with granular activated carbon (GAC) and an oil/water separator (OWS). A pilot test of a proposed dual phase extraction (DPE) system at the Tank Farm Area is currently being performed. Following the pilot test, a full-scale design for the remediation system will be developed. A new Facility Monitoring Plan was developed in December 2018 to incorporate recommended revisions to the monitoring program and include all monitoring wells installed on-site since finalization of the prior plan in 2007. A DLA Sustainment Restoration Modernization (SRM) “Demo Design” contract was funded in FY18. The contract includes project planning, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, and project design support. Natural and Cultural Resource surveys and NEPA studies of all areas are underway as part of the “Demo Design” contract. Construction of an access road to the site is also planned to be managed by DLA under a separate contract.

In 2019, the Admin Area Interim Groundwater Recovery System was started up following receipt of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (AQMD) air permit. The startup report and semiannual NPDES discharge report were submitted under DLA transmittal. Additional PFAS sampling was completed in October and the final report was issued to DLA in April 2020 and provided to the Water Board under DLA transmittal. The dual-phase extraction (DPE) 60-day pilot test for the Upper Tank Farm (UTF) was completed in mid-October 2020; the final pilot test report was issued in April 2019. The groundwater monitoring program optimization analysis was completed in 2019, reviewed by DLA and the Water Board, and the final program analysis used for updating the monitoring plan. A new facility monitoring plan has been reviewed by DLA and the Water Board – the final plan was issued December 2019. A Draft Corrective Action Plan (CAP) for the Administration Area was prepared and reviewed by DLA; the draft final Admin Area CAP was provided to the Water Board in April 2020. A hazardous materials survey was completed in 2019 at DFSP Ozol, Concord Pump Station, and the pipeline. A final hazardous materials survey report was completed and provided to DLA. A preliminary groundwater assessment was completed at the Concord Pump Station in August 2019; the groundwater monitoring report and well installation report were submitted to DLA and the Water Board.

In 2020, the Tank Farm Area CAP was sent to the Water Board under DLA transmittal. The 2019 annual Groundwater Monitoring Report was submitted to the Water Board under DLA transmittal in February 2020. The annual NPDES Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR)s for the Admin Area and UTF groundwater treatment systems were submitted to the Water Board under DLA transmittal in February 2020; the semiannual NPDES DMRs for the UTF and Admin Area groundwater treatment systems were submitted under DLA transmittal in August 2020. Spring semiannual groundwater sampling was completed in June 2020.

From 2021-2023, semi-annual groundwater monitoring continued to be performed, along with treatment system operations and maintenance. Dissolved-phase TPH contamination continued to be detected in the Tank Farm Area and Administration Area during the Spring 2023 reporting period. Groundwater gradients and flow directions remain generally consistent with previous reports, flowing north-northeast in the area of the Administration Area toward Carquinez Strait, and radially away from the BFCUSTs in the Tank Farm Area.
