The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection has approved a cleanup method to address environmental conditions at Rokisky Exxon, 798 West Pike Street, Clarksburg, WV, under the Voluntary Remediation and Redevelopment Act. The applicant, ExxonMobil Corporation, has been working with the WVDEP since negotiating a Voluntary Remediation Agreement (VRA) on February 6, 2003.
The site is located at 798 West Pike Street, Clarksburg, Harrison County, West Virginia, and is comprised of approximately 0.769 acres of property. The site has operated as an active automotive service station since 1927. Environmental investigations at the site between 1991 and 2004 have documented that both soil at the site and groundwater beneath the site have been impacted by activities associated with the operation of a retail gasoline service station. Chemicals of Concern (COCs) were determined by screening maximum concentrations of contaminants in soil and groundwater against conservative benchmarks developed to be protective of human health for direct contact exposure, potential migration to groundwater, and potential migration to indoor air. Constituents exceeding the screening criteria were selected as COCs, and evaluated further in the risk assessment. COCs included benzene, toluene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, naphthalene, total petroleum hydrocarbons-gasoline range organics (TPH-GRO), total petroleum hydrocarbons-diesel range organics (TPH-DRO), and total petroleum hydrocarbons-oil range organics.
Institutional controls have been selected as the remedy to achieve the goal of cost effective protection of human health and the environment. These institutional controls will include prohibition of residential use of the property and prohibition on extraction and use of groundwater except for the purpose of groundwater monitoring and remediation. Upon completion of remediation, the applicant will submit a final report to OER to confirm that the work meets all applicable remediation standards.
