Site Description
See previous POLREPS.

Current Activities
During this reporting period approximately 10 gals of oil and 72 gals of contaminated water were retrieved.  The new updated totals are now as of June 30, 2009: 4,525 gals of oil and 51,845 gals of contaminated water retrieved.

No problems were encountered during this reporting period.

Next Steps
A full scale fluid recovery event will be conducted during the month at Sump D, as this sump had a detectable thickness of free product during the prior month’s monitoring that measured 0.05 feet thick. Subsequent measurement of product in Sumps A, B, C or D and large rain events occurring during the month will also receive scrutiny for additional full scale extraction events.

Additionally, we will continue to monitor free-product from the wells at the Facility periodically each week and any free-product accumulating in the wells will be removed on a daily basis.
