SITE HISTORY

Three underground storage tanks (USTs) used for
storing gasoline were installed at the site in 1982. The
USTs were never upgraded to meet the spill, overfill and
cathodic protection requirements of 40 CFR 280.21.
The former owner/operator of The Station abandoned
the site in 1996. The Crow Tribe purchased the site
at public auction in October 2004. During repairs to
the water lines, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
encountered petroleum contaminated soils (PCS) in the
northeast corner of the property and in die right of way
down gradient from the site in 2004. In 2008, the three
USTs were excavated and removed. The site was graded
adding 60 yd3 of clean gravel fill. Confirmation sampling
was performed to ensure the soil and groundwater were
clean of any residual petroleum contamination.
