    Posted
    The United States Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service has initiated a project to address contamination from a Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) incident at Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The incident, reported in 1994, involved the release of gasoline and diesel fuel, with various hazardous substances such as Benzene, Toluene, and Ethylbenzene detected in both soil and groundwater. A Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is required to remediate the site effectively. The scope of work involves additional sampling of existing wells, installing new wells if necessary, and conducting a vapor intrusion study. The contractor will create a proposed work plan for review by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (ILEPA) and the Fish and Wildlife Service, and develop a Corrective Action Completion Report (CACR) detailing the results and remediation options. The contractor must be licensed in Illinois, and the CACR must be reviewed by a licensed professional engineer. The project highlights compliance with ILEPA standards for petroleum underground storage tanks and mandates detailing remediation objectives to ensure public health and environmental safety. This initiative reflects a priority for responsible environmental stewardship within federal lands.
