PUBLIC NOTICE
NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Lincoln, Nebraska
     Pursuant to NDEQ's 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 January 22, 2003, a petroleum release was identified originating from a storage tank system owned by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs.  The source of the release is located at 4101 Woolworth Avenue, Omaha.  An approximate legal location is NE1/4, Section 29, Township 15N, Range 13E, Douglas County.
     2. Follow-up investigation identified the effects of the release and led to the remedial actions proposed by NDEQ.  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.  The assessment indicated the presence of dissolved petroleum compounds in ground water.  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 NDEQ 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:  NDEQ ID 10289, LST 012203-QK-1630.
     Any person may receive further information or submit comments on the proposed action, and request or petition NDEQ for a hearing, in writing, stating the nature of the issues to be raised in the hearing, on or before September 6, 2019.  A final decision by the Director will be made in a manner provided by Title 115, NAC Ch. 5.  Direct written correspondence to:  Director, NDEQ, P.O.
