Cenex Supply & Marketing Inc. Sitio Rinsate
300 Division Street
Quincy, Grant County, Washington
Facility Site Id No. 33599645
El Departamento de Ecolog’a del Estado de Washington le invita a revisar y comentar sobre un documento titulado revisi—n peri—dica para el Sitio Rinsate, de Cenex Supply & Marketing, Inc. Una revisi—n peri—dica se lleva a cabo por lo menos cada cinco anos despu/s de que se inicia una acci—n de limpieza en el sitio, como es requerido por el Acta Modelo de Control de T—xicos (MTCA por sus siglas en ingles). Los objetivos de la revisi—n son el de evaluar las condiciones del sitio despu/s de que se considere que la limpieza ha terminado y el de asegurar la protecci—n de la salud humana y del medio ambiente.
CHS, Inc., anteriormente conocida como Cenex Harvest States, es el dueno actual de la propiedad y la entidad responsable de la limpieza en el sitio. CHS arrend— la propiedad antes de comprarla en 2004. El sitio fue usado originalmente como una instalaci—n para almacenar fertilizantes l’quidos y fumigantes para el suelo.
Investigaciones identificaron contaminaci—n en el agua subterr‡nea y suelo. CHS llev— a cabo varias acciones de limpieza para tratar niveles elevados de Compuestos Org‡nicos Vol‡tiles (VOCs por sus siglas en ingles) en el suelo y el agua subterr‡nea. Sistemas de tratamiento fueron instalados en 2001 para tratar la contaminaci—n, y se llevaron a cabo monitoreos.
El monitoreo dentro del ‡rea de tratamiento indica que niveles de VOC en el suelo y agua subterr‡nea han disminuido significativamente. Sin embargo, los VOCs en el agua subterr‡nea pendiente abajo del ‡rea fuente no han sido reducidos en forma efectiva. Acciones adicionales de limpieza son necesarias para lograr los objetivos listados en el Plan de Acci—n de Limpieza final y para asegurar que los VOCs no continœen migrando pendiente abajo.
Hay restricciones en el t’tulo de la propiedad. ƒstas limitan la forma en la que la propiedad puede ser usada y protegen los remedios en la limpieza que han sido implementados. Pozos de observaci—n instalados en 2007 mostraron VOCs disueltos en el agua subterr‡nea m‡s all‡ de los l’mites del sitio establecidos originalmente. Las restricciones en el t’tulo de la propiedad deben ser aumentadas para cubrir /stas ‡reas.

Periodic Review Available to Public
Comments Accepted December 19, 2008 through January 19, 2009
Cenex Supply & Marketing Inc. Rinsate Site
300 Division Street
Quincy, Grant County, Washington
Facility Site Id No. 33599645
The Washington State Department of Ecology invites you to review and comment on a document called a periodic review for the Cenex Supply & Marketing Inc., Rinsate site. A periodic review is conducted at least every five years after the initiation of a cleanup action at a site, as required by the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA). The purposes of the review are to evaluate site conditions after cleanup is considered complete and to ensure protection of human health and the environment.
CHS, Inc., formerly Cenex Harvest States, is the current property owner and the party liable for cleanup at the site. CHS leased the property prior to purchasing it in 2004. The site originally was used as a liquid fertilizer and soil fumigant storage facility.
Investigations identified contamination in groundwater and soil. CHS conducted several cleanup actions to address elevated levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in soil and groundwater. Treatment systems were put in place in 2001 to address the contamination, and monitoring was conducted.
Monitoring within the treatment area indicates VOC levels in soil and groundwater have declined significantly. However, VOCs in groundwater have not been effectively reduced down gradient of the source area. Additional cleanup actions are necessary to achieve the goals outlined in the final Cleanup Action Plan and to ensure that the VOCs don't continue to migrate down gradient.
Deed restrictions are on the property. They limit the ways that the property may be used and protect the cleanup remedies that have been implemented. Monitoring wells installed in 2007 showed dissolved VOCs in groundwater beyond the original established site boundaries. Deed restrictions should be expanded to cover these areas.
