Lincoln, Nebraska

Pursuant to NDEE Title 118 - Ground Water Quality Standards and Use Classification, public notification and opportunity for comment is hereby given of the following:

1. On or about October 6, 2011 and August 25, 2013, a petroleum release was identified originating from a storage tank system owned by Buck’s, Inc.  The source of the release is located at 107 S 40th Street, Omaha.  An approximate legal location is NE1/4, SW1/4, NE1/4, Section 20, Township 15N, Range 13E, Douglas County.

2. Follow-up investigation identified the effects of the release and led to the remedial actions proposed by NDEE.  The investigation resulted in a determination that this ground water contamination event is defined as remedial action class three.

3. The source of the release has been removed.  A Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) Tier 1 assessment was conducted for one or more of the following exposure pathways of concern:  surface soils, ground water ingestion, soil leaching to ground water, and intrusion of vapors to a structure from contaminated ground water and contaminated soils.  The contaminant concentrations found were below the numerical levels used by the RBCA process to establish a need for further investigation or remediation.  Based on the current site conditions and property use, the NDEE has determined that no further remedial action is necessary due to the lack of threat to human health or safety.

Information regarding this release is contained in the file:  NDEE ID 18096, LST 100611-KM-1340 and LST  082713-JF-1230.
