07/03/2024 The Remediation Plan is Conditionally Approved. If a Deferral is requested, all sample points must be vertically/horizontally delineated. Additionally, a formal Deferral Request will need to be submitted to OCD Permitting for review. All samples must be analyzed for all constituents listed in Table I of 19.15.29.12 NMAC. Floor confirmation samples should be delineated/excavated to meet closure criteria standards from Table 1 of the OCD Spill Rule for site assessment/characterization/proven depth to water determination. Sidewall/Edge samples should be delineated/excavated to 600 mg/kg for chlorides and 100 mg/kg for TPH to define the edge of the release. All sidewall samples should be taken from the sidewall of the excavation. Please make sure that the edge of the release extent is accurately defined. Please collect confirmation samples, representing no more than 200 ft2. The work will need to occur in 90 days after the report has been reviewed.
