PUBLIC NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY REMEDIATION PROGRAM SITE CLEANUP METHOD PUBLIC NOTICE NO.: VRP #06918 PAPER: The Logan Banner PUBLIC NOTICE DATE: November 15, 2017 The Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) at the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection has approved a cleanup method to address environmental conditions at the McGuire Property under the Voluntary Remediation and Redevelopment Act. The applicants, George R. McGuire Jr. and Sarah Katherine McGuire Whitmore, have been working with the WVDEP since negotiating a Voluntary Remediation Agreement (VRA) on February 18, 2005. The site is located at 7429 Jerry West Highway, Omar, Logan County, West Virginia, and is comprised of approximately 1.46 acres of property. The McGuire Property is a former retail petroleum facility and automobile service station. A service station and private residence were formerly located at the southern portion of the site. One (1) 1,000-gallon kerosene above-ground storage tank (AST) was formerly located adjacent to the retail petroleum facility. Local residents indicated that in addition to the 1,000-gallon kerosene AST, a gasoline underground storage tank (UST) was also located at the site. Site Assessment activities were conducted to evaluate environmental conditions in the areas of the former UST and AST systems, the location of a buried AST and drums, and areas of reported petroleum releases at the site. The McGuire property is currently vacant. Topography at the site is varied. Elevated areas along the northern and western portions of the property are areas of miscellaneous fill and were used as the locations of the former drum and buried AST storage areas and service station, respectively. A Land Use Covenant containing specific property use restrictions has been recorded with the property deed for the McGuire property. Property use restrictions included in the Land Use Covenant include the following: Prohibit property uses other than for Non-Residential purposes; Restrictions against the use or extraction of groundwater for purposes other than groundwater monitoring or remediation; Any new buildings constructed on the property must incorporate vapor barriers and sub-slab ventilation systems; and, to prohibit future building construction in the area of the former UST system, or to require that any structures built in the area of the former UST system are not enclosed or inhabited structures. Based on risk assessment, using a groundwater fate and transport model, vapor intrusion model, and dermal and ingestion exposure assessments, the presence of contaminants of concern in subsurface soil and groundwater results in cancer risk estimates that are less than WVDEP-defined levels. Therefore, a passive sub-slab ventilation system and vapor barrier incorporated into the proposed building design for any new structures should provide adequate protection from any possible vapor movement, and thus eliminate the exposure pathway. The existing structures at the McGuire property have been demolished. No other reasonable pathways for human health or ecological risk are currently present. Restrictions placed on the property result in the site meeting remedial standards by eliminating all possible routes of exposure. Upon completion of remediation, the applicant will submit a final report to OER to confirm that the work meets all applicable remediation standards. Application No.: VRP #06918 Applicants: George R. McGuire Jr. and Sarah Katherine McGuire Whitmore 503 North Boulevard #22 and 4601 Patterson Avenue, Respectively Richmond, VA 23226 Site Location: 7429 Jerry West Highway Omar, Logan County, WV Current Site Use: The McGuire Property is currently vacant.

Cleanup Method: A Land Use Covenant has been recorded which restricts new construction, prohibits use of site groundwater for any purpose other than environmental monitoring or remediation, requires a passive sub-slab ventilation system and vapor barriers are installed in the construction of all future on-site structures, and adds provisions requiring all future construction/utility workers conducting intrusive activities at the site use appropriate PPE for workers in the excavation, to review and adhere to a posted site specific health and safety plan, and to only conduct site activities under Licensed Remediation Specialist oversight.
