Site Description

A. Lake Street Oil Farm site (site), formerly known as Dale Enterprises, was the location of an oil release of approximately 12,000 gallons in September 1990.  In 1994 and 1996, Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) issued notices of violation to the property owners for continued release of oil from the site and improper closure of USTs located onsite.  

B. Prior to 2000, U.S. Armey Corps of Engineers (USACE) installed an interceptor trench, oil/water collection system, and a bulkhead/retention wall along the perimeter of the site at the Wicomico River.  

C. In 1997 through 1999, EPA Site Assessment and Technical Assistance (SATA) contractor performed site assessments to determine site conditions.

D. In 2000 and 2002, USACE contractor conducted assessments and determined the presence of total petroleum hydrocarbons in site soils and groundwater.


Current Activities

a.  START contractor (Tetra Tech) provided OSC Kelly with Trip Report for Site.
