The discharge appeared to have resulted in staining of the surrounding gravel. Facility staff also indicated the monitoring well occasionally discharges following periods of heavy rainfall. Please be advised that the monitoring well should be properly capped to prevent any future discharges. In addition, any areas impacted by previous discharges of petroleum must be properly remediated.
