Property Highlights

ACRPC worked with the town of Whiting and the Whiting Elementary School to get the Whiting site into the Brownfields program so the site could be investigated and assessed. It was especially important to determine the extent of contamination due to the proximity of the site to the Whiting Elementary School. In addition, the town is considering moving the town library to this site so that it is closer to the school and / or using the site�s well as the main source of water for the town. To accomplish this, ACRPC hired ECS to conduct a Phase I environmental assessment. The primary areas of concern were: � The former gasoline USTs that were removed in 2010 without environmental oversight. � Between the former gasoline USTs and the current unregistered 30 to 40 year old fuel oil UST at the Whiting Elementary School. � In the vicinity of the fire station septic tank if it can be located, because a floor drain within the fire station discharges to it. The conclusion of the Phase I Assessment was that a Phase II Assessment should be completed to focus on these areas. ACRPC hired ECS to complete this, which they did in September, 2011. The Phase II Assessment recommended the following: � Due to VGES exceedances of petroleum-related compounds in groundwater in the area of the former gasoline service station, additional soil borings and/or groundwater monitoring wells should be advanced offsite across Vermont Route 30 to determine whether contamination has migrated offsite through groundwater transport. � Test pitting should be performed in the vicinity of the former gasoline USTs to determine whether a kerosene UST is still present. � The fuel oil UST at Whiting Elementary School should be tested for tightness. � An excavation should be performed to determine the discharge point of floor drains, so that soils and/or groundwater in the vicinity of the discharge point can be tested. � Groundwater from MW-3 in the vicinity of the former gasoline USTs should be analyzed for tetraethyl lead, due to the detection of total lead in excess of the VGES during this investigation. Due to the exhaustion of grant funding, the following work was not completed: ACRPC is looking into the availability of additional funds to allow the town to hire a contractor to: 1 Excavate and locate the possible abandoned kerosene underground storage tank UST and remove and dispose of associated petroleum contaminated soils. 2 Excavate and locate the floor drain outfall point from the fire station former creamery and remove and dispose of associated petroleum contaminated soils. ACRPC is looking into the availability of additional funds to allow the town to hire a contractor to complete this work so the town can move forward with their redevelopment plans.

Former Use: From Phase I: Based upon the above referenced sources, the former creamery seems to have been developed on farmland around 1930. References are made in deeds from that time period to the stockyards belonging to the Rutland Railroad, located to the north of the site. A scale house at the northwest corner of the subject site is referenced. According to the town clerk, the railroad station was located across South Main Street to the west of the site. The creamery reportedly closed in the 1960s, and the fire station took over the building. A general store on the site is referenced in deeds from the 1940s. According to the town clerk, the store was closed in the 1960s, and the gasoline USTs were drained and filled with water at that time. The building was vacant until it was purchased by the town in the early 1980s. It was then used as apartments for several years until it was razed. The gasoline USTs at the site were removed in 2010. The current recycling shed was used at one time in the past to store �junk,� according to the fire chief, and also has been used to house cows, according to the town clerk. According to the Town of Whiting Plan, the planning commission was formed in the ea
