Re: PC 2007-6066 — Review of Proposed Development Activities
29 North Chevron, 1215 Seminole Trail, Albemarle County
Dear Mr. Fontaine:
David K. Paylor
Director

Amy Thatcher Owens
Regional Director
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has reviewed the proposal of site activities associated
with the redevelopment of the subject site submitted on October 21, 2021. The proposed excavation activities and
subsequent handling of contaminated soil are deemed acceptable under the provision that contaminated soil be
managed in accordance with Section 6.2 of the DEQ Storage Tank Program Technical Manual (STPTM).
Additionally, soil deemed petroleum -saturated may be eligible for reimbursement under the Virginia Petroleum
Storage Tank Fund (VPSTF) provided documentation of screening and chemical analyses accompanies proper
disposal documents and is submitted to DEQ. Any soil that is not documented to be petroleum -saturated that is
disposed of oft -site will need proper documentation as well. During the development activities, it is understood
that the existing site groundwater monitoring wells will be destroyed. In accordance with 12 VAC 5-630-450
of the Virginia Department of Health Private Well Regulations, the monitoring wells installed in
conjunction with this investigation will need to be properly abandoned before they are destroyed
by the construction activities. The abandonment of the wells will need to be documented and
presented in the next report submitted to this office. Since the monitoring wells were installed to
meet regulatory requirements administered by DEQ, no permits or fees are required by the local health
department.
During the excavation activities, any free product encountered will also need to be handled properly as
described in Section 5.5 of the STPTM. Costs associated with proper recovery and disposal may be eligible for
reimbursement under VPSTF provided documentation is submitted to DEQ. The most appropriate method of free
product recovery may need to be determined during the excavation activities based upon unknown conditions at
the site. Assuming the site work is completed as proposed and documented in a Corrective Action Plan
Implementation Report, reinstallation of groundwater monitoring wells will not be necessary and the case may be
considered for closure.

Please note that prior approval of site work is required if you plan to seek reimbursement. Unless an
emergency situation exists at the site, you should not proceed with environmental site assessment work until the
AAF has been approved by this office. Prior approval is obtained by submitting an AAF to this office before
investigation and cleanup activities are initiated. You are not required to obtain pre -approval for conducting
activities needed to abate immediate hazards, however, it is highly recommended that you contact this office as
soon as possible should an emergency situation occur.
Until further notice of a development schedule, DEQ will continue to expect quarterly report submission
on the current schedule. Once DEQ confirms a development schedule, a new deadline for reporting will be
established. The frequency of reporting may also be discussed based upon the redevelopment schedule.
Remaining in communication with DEQ regarding scheduling is advised. If you have any questions or would like
to discuss the information contained in this letter, please contact me at 540-574-7851 or at

David A. Fitt
