Missouri Department of Natural Resources – Document Review Contract at Various Missouri LUST Sites

PE provides the Tanks Section of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) with a state-registered geologist (with over 15 years of tank experience) to review project files and provide technical expertise at underground storage tank (UST) sites. Work was conducted on an as-needed basis to help section project managers catch up with case loads and provide technical expertise on sites with geological/hydrogeological, site assessment, fate transport, risk assessment, and remediation concerns. In addition, PE has reviewed project files for approximately 400 inactive sites (projects where the response party has not submitted correspondence in over 2 years) in an effort to gain site closure, establish remaining regulatory action required, compliance/enforcement, and/or updating MDNR with the site status.

As a result of this work, the MDNR was able to achieve "No Further Action" status or an administrative site closure at approximately 30% of these sites (115 sites total). Another 66 sites (17%) were determined to be without a responsible party and were eligible for additional funding on the State Investigations List and the recent American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Responsible parties at 75 additional sites (19%) received letters of warning (LOWs), notices of violation (NOVs), or were referred to the State Attorney General for enforcement. Responsible parties at the remaining sites were issued final requests for their project status and will be re-evaluated by PE/MDNR at a later date.
