GOLDSTEIN CARA A. CENTANNI PLEASE REPLY TO WEST ORANGE KEOPi e JAN 12 2005 NC DEPT. 0� �",: AND NATURAL Re"80URCES 400RESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE As a follow-up to our verbal notice to Ms. Shawna Caldwell of your office, we are providing written notice regarding the discovery of free product at the above -referenced site on December 14, 2004. . Our client, Kale Company, is the current owner of the site, which was formerly occupied by a Kmart store. It is our understanding that Kmart removed three underground storage tanks ("USTs") from the site in 1991 and performed some product recovery in 1992, but never completed the groundwater remediation. As owner of the property, our client repeatedly requested that Kmart complete the remediation, but they refused and subsequently declared bankruptcy. Last fall, Kale Company retained Veritech to complete the remediation started by Kmart. 'Y, wc7, 938928.01 WOLFF & SAMSON Allen Schiff, Hydrogeologist January 11, 2005 Page 2 On December 14, 2004, Veritech's subcontractor, David Mursch, P.E., measured product in three wells as follows: MW-2 0.7 feet MW-9 0.8 feet MW-10 0.7 feet After the measurements, the first round of Aggressive Fluid/Vapor Recovery ("AFVR") was performed at the site. The wells were evacuated for approximately six hours using an AFVR truck, and produced 3,095 gallons of water and product. It is estimated that approximately 300 gallons of the material recovered was free product. On the day after the first AFVR event, the wells were re -checked and the product thickness was measured as follows: MW-2 0.4 feet MW-9 0.2 feet MW-10 0.1 feet Another AFVR event is scheduled for this week, and the wells will be sampled in early February after two rounds of AFVR. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please contact me if you have any questions or require additional information. Very truly yours, � LINDA D.
