MEMORANDUM
TO: Debra Watts
FROM: Michael Rogeray,
RE: Renewal of Permit to Inject 1% milk solution (Permit #WI0100106)
Milkco, Inc.
I recommend that Permit Number W10100106 be re -issued to the above applicant to inject 1% milk solution to remediate
groundwater (GW) contaminated with VOCs and petroleum products. This permit was issued on December 22, 2010, and
expired on November 30, 2013. Following the review of the performance monitoring data collected after the injection
events, the Permittee has requested the permit be modified and renewed to include a total larger volume of injectant
(25,000 gallons/well), 12 new permanent injection wells, and permission for additional injection events. Previous
injections of 1% milk solution have resulted in decrease of COCs and the Permittee believes additional injections will
continue this reduction.
Since the permit for this injection activity has previously been approved, and information contained therein is essentially
the same, I am attaching this modified memo reflecting those proposed changes from the previous permit. Please refer to
the previous permit issuance memorandum for more information on this site.
PROPOSED INJECTION: As previously mentioned, 25,000 gallons of 1% milk solution will be injected via 12 new
proposed permanently installed injection wells (IW-1 thru IW-12) + one existing well (RW-3). Injections are proposed
annually with options for semi-annual injection based upon evaluation of injection effectiveness. Each injection for each
well will be approximately 5 days in duration. The potential displacement of the plume is low. Please refer to Figure 2 in
the application package for the location of the injection wells (new injection wells are green dots, existing injection well
RW-3 is highlighted in orange). NOTE- for the first year of injection only 3 wells are injected (RW-3, IW-2, and IW-5).
MONITORING: Four new monitoring wells, MW-3R, 8R, 25R, and 44, are proposed to be installed (highlighted in pink on
REVISED Figure 2). Monitoring will continue as in the issued permit except that surface locations BC-1 and JW-1 are
increased to semi-annually.
REGIONAL OFFICE COMMENTS: Each of the RO comments/recommendations are discussed below (RO's
comments/recommendations are underlined).
The monitories schedule for surface water sample locations BC-1 and JW-1 should be increased to semi-annually. This
was put in the permit.
November 2013 UPDATE
The Permittee has submitted a third additional information packet received 11/26/13. After several emails and telephone
call conferences between Andy Alexander with BLE and the regional and central office staff (including you), Andy has
submitted more information delineating the estimated vertical and horizontal injection zones.
Below I have addressed each of your numbered review notes.
r
1. The summary memo has been revised and updated.
2. The groundwater flow for this site is roughly radial (GW elevation related to a topographic high). Therefore,
monitoring wells MW-44, MW-13, MW-14, and MW-23 are downgradient. The wells way outside the IZ are part
of their monitoring plan per the DWM/Brownfields and are not necessarily there for monitoring for an injection
permit.
3. I agree that they add 30 and 150 days to monitoring schedule for MW-13, MW-14, and MW-23 to be consistent
with MW-44. I added this to the permit. The RO has seen the add info packet and are OK w/permit re -issuance
(see email dated 12/9/13).
4. I updated BIMS per your request.
In conclusion, I think with the submittal of this 3rd add info package, this is the best the Permittee is going to be able to do
as far as meeting requirements per 2C .0225. They have looked into installing additional monitoring wells on surrounding
properties, but have been denied access (see add info letter). I think they have made a reasonably good faith effort to be in
compliance based upon field conditions and `real world realities'. If you conclude they still do not strictly meet 2C .0225,
then it looks like we will have to deny them the permit renewal. _
