PERMIT TO OPERATE A SOIL VAPOR EXTRACTION SYSTEM TO REMOVE PETROLEUM HYDROCARBONS FROM SOIL AND GROUNDWATER AT THE FORMER SHELL GASOLINE SERVICE STATION, BISHOP, CALIFORNIA
The Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District is considering granting a Permit to Operate for a Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) system at the former site of Bishop Shell Station, 487 North Main Street, Bishop (north of Jack's Waffle Shop). Under the provisions of California Health and Safety Code Section 42301.6 (b), prior to approving a Permit to Operate for a source which may emit air toxic contaminants within 1000 feet of the outer boundary of a school, the Air Pollution Control District must notify the general public and parents of all children attending the school. The air pollution control equipment is located approximately 1000 feet east of Bishop Union High School.
Lahontan Water Quality Control Board has directed the facility to clean-up the migration of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination from beneath the property. Greater than 99% of the petroleum vapors removed by the SVE system and Solleco Thermal Oxidizer is converted to carbon dioxide and water. Since the gasoline contaminated soil contains toxic substances, before beginning the clean up effort, Vestech, LLC is required to submit a detailed application and pollution control plan.The application indicates that toxic air contaminates will be below detection limits and poses an insignificant risk to the public.
Copies of the proposed action and supporting documentation are available for public review at the office of Great Basin Unified APCD and on the District's website at http://www.gbuapcd.org/vestech/. If you wish to make comments on this project, please contact Larry Cameron, Air Pollution Specialist, Great Basin APCD, 157 Short Street,Bishop, CA 93514, Telephone (760) 872-8211, ext 227.Written comments must be received by the District within 30days of this notice.
