WATER QUALITY SITE RESPONSE Sample Clauses

WATER QUALITY SITE RESPONSE. GROUND WATER 106 EPA Ground Water 106 funds are used in the oversight, investigation, and remediation of approximately 85 Montana Water Quality Act (WQA) sites which are administered by DEQ’s Ground Water Remediation Program (GWRP). The majority of these sites have groundwater and/or surface water contamination as the result of: (1) petroleum spills/releases; (2) solvents; (3) nitrates and other nutrients from various sources including septic systems; (4) metals; (5) pentachlorophenol; and (6) other chemicals (e.g., chloride and other salts including road salt). This program also oversees cleanup at sites where soil contamination poses a threat to state waters and/or human health. These sites are not addressed by other programs within DEQ. Oversight of sites typically involves issuing violation letters, reviewing and commenting on work plans and reports, conducting site inspections and split sampling, and generally working with responsible parties to ensure that cleanups and other actions meet the State’s requirements prior to issuing “No Further Action” letters. Each year, new sites are referred to the GWRP from DEQ’s Enforcement Division. It is not possible to predict the number of new sites that will enter the program each year; therefore, the GWRP cannot set a “target number” for this parameter. Similarly, the number of sites that are closed each year is dependent upon uncontrollable site-specific characteristics that do not allow the GWRP to set a “target number” of site closures. Since July 2011, the GWRP has been DEQ’s lead program for oversight of and response to the ExxonMobil Silvertip Crude Oil Release to the Yellowstone River (the Silvertip Release). The GWRP coordinated with EPA (and other federal, state, and local governmental agencies) during and after the initial response to the Silvertip Release. When EPA transferred lead authority to DEQ, the GWRP negotiated an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) with ExxonMobil for, among other things, recovery of State of Montana costs and continued investigation and cleanup. The GWRP has been overseeing continued investigation and cleanup, responding to complaints from the public, coordinating with other agencies, and managing the records associated with the Silvertip Release. Some of the work conducted by the GWRP regarding the Silvertip Release is not cost recoverable under the AOC (for example, presentations to interested groups or meetings with the Natural Resource Damages Program), and the cost ...
