Underground Fuel Storage Tank Removal and Remediation

Project #: 660-22-116

1. Introduction

The Contractor is required to prepare a Corrective Action Plan and Tank Removal documentation for a permanently closed leaking underground gasoline tank release and a temporarily closed underground diesel tank . The tanks are located at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Salt Lake City Medical Center.

The primary object of the SOW is to safely remove, dispose of and remediate underground storage tanks (UST) while minimizing environmental impacts and complying with all Federal, State and local governing regulations, as well as VA policies.

2. Site Background and Location

The work will be conducted at the Salt Lake City VA Medical Center (SLC VAMC). The SLC VAMC is registered as Facility ID # 4001459 with the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (DEQ-DERR).

3. Tank Descriptions and Status

Tank 13(38G): 3,000-gal gasoline fiber glass UST; permanently closed in-place with cement slurry on 17-Dec-2020. Closure samples identified a fuel release associated with fuel piping near the dispenser island. A single closure soil sample exceeded the Initial Screening Levels for gasoline-range total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH-GRO) (511 mg/kg) indicating a release may have occurred. The release was designated by DEQ-DERR as Release NZZ. The permanent tank Closure Notice is included in Attachment 1.

A Subsurface Investigation Report (SIR) (Attachment 2) was completed in Jun/Jul 2021 and included drilling three additional borings around the potential release location and a fourth boring near the initial closure soil boring to greater depth (12 ft total depth). A total of four soil samples were collected from the four borings. The results indicated a minor, isolated fuel piping release had occurred near the dispensing island.

Tank 12(38D): 3,000-gal diesel fiber glass UST; tank temporarily closed on 28-April-2021. Fuel was removed from tank, but no additional abatement procedures have been completed. No closure sampling has been completed at the tank. The temporary tank Closure Notice is included in Attachment 1.

Fuel Piping and Dispenser Island: Fuel piping extends approximately 40 feet from underground tanks to dispenser island. The island contains two fuel dispensers.

4. Work to Be Performed

The Contractor is required to complete the following tasks in accordance with Utah Administrative Code (UAC) Title R311-200 through R311-211 Environmental Quality, Environmental Response and Remediation, all other Federal, State and local requirements, and Section 02 65 00 Underground Storage Tank Removal of the VA Master Construction Specifications Index (Attachment 3). In the event UAC R311 contradicts VA Section 02 65 00, the discrepancy will be brought forth to the COR and a decision will be made which guidance to follow.

a. Corrective Action Plan: Contractor will complete all work and documentation necessary to submit a Corrective Action Plan, prepared by a Utah-certified UST Consultant, with the presumptive remedy of excavation of contaminated soils.

b. UST Permanent Closure Plan: Contractor will complete all work and documentation necessary to permanently close diesel Tank 12(38D). This Closure Plan will be submitted as an Appendix to the Corrective Action Plan. Soil samples collected as part of the tank closure procedure will be submitted to the analytical laboratory with a 24-hour turn-around-time to facilitate timely decisions regarding additional excavation/remediation.

c. Pre-Removal Meeting: Contractor will conduct a pre removal meeting at the project site a minimum of 30 days before beginning work. Contractor will prepare the meeting agenda and minutes. The COR, VA SME/PM, and Utah-certified UST Consultant and Utah-certified UST Remover will be in attendance.

d. Remove and Replace Site Structures: To facilitate the excavation of contaminated soils, the Contractor will remove pavement, carport, gate, fencing and other structures, as needed and replace the items when site work is completed. Existing materials (including clean overburden soil) shall be reused where possible.

e. UST Excavation, Demolition and Removal: Contractor will complete all work and documentation necessary to remove Tank 12(38D) and Tank 13(38G) from the site and dispose of (or recycle) material off-site. Removal of tanks will include fuel piping and dispenser island excavation and removal. A Utah-certified UST Remover must remove the tanks, and a Utah-certified UST Soil and Groundwater Sampler will collect samples required for tank closure and disposal facility waste profile. All environmental samples will be submitted to a Utah-certified analytical laboratory.

f. Excavation of Contaminated Soils: Contractor will excavate, contain, and dispose of contaminated soils at an off-site location. A portable volatile organic compound (VOC) monitor with a photoionization detector (PID) shall be used for soil headspace screening to assess excavation progress. The base price for the volume of soil excavated will not exceed 220 cubic yards (cyd) (or approximately 330 tons). Work beyond this amount will be based on a unit basis (per ton).

g. Site Closure Sampling: Contractor will collect site closure samples from the excavation including excavation sidewall and bottom sample locations. The base price shall include 12 sample locations. Any additional sample locations will be based on unit pricing. Samples will be submitted to the analytical laboratory with a 24-hour turn-around-time.

h. Site Restoration: Contractor will restore the site to existing conditions including backfilling, compacting and asphalt resurfacing.

5. Applicable Specifications and Requirements

a. The Contractor will comply with the SLC VAMC Stormwater Management Plan (Attachment 4) and applicable Utah Construction Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) general permit requirements.

b. The Contractor will clear all utilities and comply with VAMC Policy 00S.60 Excavation Safety Program prior to starting work (Attachment 5).

c. The Contractor will submit all safety data sheets for any chemicals brought on-site and follow all safety requirements for preventing access to the work site.

d. The Contractor will conduct work in accordance with the Section 02 65 00 Underground Storage Tank Removal of the VA Master Construction Specifications Index (Attachment 3)

6. Documentation Deliverables

The Contractor will comply with all Federal, State and local governing regulations when preparing the documentation for this project.

a. Draft and Final Corrective Action Plan (CAP). The Contractor will develop a CAP to address Release NZZ. The presumptive remedy is soil excavation and disposal.

The VA will submit the report to the State. The final CAP submittal will include a hardcopy and electronic version. The electronic submittal will include all native files used to create the document.

b. Draft and Final Permanent Tank Closure Notice Tank 12(38D). The Contractor will prepare a Permanent Tank Closure Notice for Tank 12(38D). The tank Closure Notice will be submitted to DEQ-DERR for tank closure and included as an appendix to the CAP for Release NZZ.

c. Draft and Final Corrective Action Report for Release NZZ. The Contractor will prepare a Corrective Action Report documenting the successful remedial action and results of the site closure samples. The Corrective Action Report must include:

- Narrative summary of methodologies, remedial activities and results, including documentation of personnel conducting site activities, timeline of events, and summary of results.
