Soils impacted by arsenic and lead have been identified at a property located at 4800 South Box Elder Street, Murray, Salt Lake County, Utah. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were also identified in groundwater in the northeastern corner of the Site.
The prospective developer of the Site, the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of Murray City, has enrolled the property in the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ), Division of Environmental Response and Remediation's (DERR's) Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) in order to properly address the impacts prior to Site re-development. The RDA of Murray intends to redevelop the Site with a fire station and an undetermined commercial venture
The RDA of Murray City worked with the UDEQ to develop a Remedial Action Plan that will manage soils that will be disturbed during site re-development. Soil management may include re-use of the soils on the Site or transportation of the soils for disposal at an appropriately-permitted off-site disposal facility.
During excavation work associated with the impacted soils, access to the site will be controlled using temporary fencing and fugitive dust will be monitored to ensure the safety of workers and the community. It is anticipated that work will start in the summer of 2018. Site re-development activities that may disturb impacted soils are anticipated to take approximately 10 to 14 weeks to complete.
If impacted soils remain on the Site, they will be capped with clean soil or hardscape (e.g., asphalt or concrete) and managed with activity and use limitations on the property.
To address the VOCs identified in groundwater at the Site, a vapor mitigation system (VMS) will be installed during construction of the occupied building structures on Site that are in the affected area. The VMS will include a vapor barrier beneath the building(s) and a passive venting system to vent the vapors above the roof line of the new buildings.
Following completion of remediation activities, a Site Management Plan will be generated to define the site management requirements, any activity and use limitations at the Site, management and maintenance of the vapor mitigation system, and Site inspection and reporting requirements. Engineering controls and institutional controls will be incorporated at the Site to ensure continued protection of human health and the environment.
The Remedial Action Plan may be viewed, and comments on the plan received, at the Utah DEQ/DERR offices at the address below. The Public Comment period will commence on June 9, 2018 and comments will be received through July 8, 2018.
