Site Assessment Report Regarding Gasoline Contamination
Assistant Town Administrator Widmer introduced Kerry Prochaska,
Project Manager, Rocky Mountain Consultants, who presented a
summary of Phase I and Phase II, along with the recommendations of
the Site Assessment Report.
A 20-month investigation of the nature and extent of petroleum
contamination in, and adjacent to, East Elkhorn Avenue was
conducted, starting October 30, 1990. Phase I consisted of site
assessment on Town -owned property. Six monitoring wells and two
test holes were installed surrounding the Municipal Building and
the Library. The potential fumes around the Library have been
remediated by the installation of a vapor recovery system around
the southern perimeter of the building. Based on the findings from
Phase I, the Town authorized Rocky Mountain Consultants to do the
Phase II assessment.
To complete this study, access agreements were obtained from all
businesses, except Village Gas. Testing revealed that the gas
contamination has three sources: Town property at the Transit
Center, the area of the Estes Park Bank Automatic Teller Building,
and Village Gas. Further monitoring of air at Ed's Cantina,
Wilderness Sports and the Municipal Building has shown that current
levels of petroleum fumes and groundwater contamination pose no
hazard to human health.
Rocky Mountain Consultants does not recommend removing the
remaining soil around the Library as the soil is not causing a
hazard to human health. RMC does recommend semiannual monitoring
of well and surface water, changing any course of action based on
the results. RMC recommends that a copy of this study be given to
both Estes Park Bank and Village Gas.
The Urban Renewal Authority was commended for their monetary
assistance in this project and their willingness to work with the
Town to reach solutions to this problem.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:25 a.m.
Tina Kuehl, Deputy Town Clerk
