Title | Fuel Oil Found During Core Drilling |
Event Description | On January 17, 2014, at 1400 EST Sequoyah (SQN) notified the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) of a condition that was identified on December 4, 2013, while conducting core samples. The core drilling contractor detected a petroleum odor, notified the SQN Environmental Group who observed the core drilling and confirmed a slight petroleum odor from a core boring in which water was detected at approximately 41 feet below the ground surface. At that time, as a result of the type of core drilling that was conducted, TVA could not verify if there were petroleum products in the groundwater.
SQN obtained geoprobe boring samples to determine the extent and the depth of the petroleum. Petroleum product was detected in the soil between 30 and 35 feet in depth. This condition has been determined to be associated with a legacy diesel fuel oil leak at SQN in the 1990's and was previously reported. SQN previously completed a remediation project from 1992 - 2010, with oversight from TDEC. The petroleum product appears to be isolated at approximately 30 to 35 feet in depth, is in a perched water table not utilized for drinking water, and appears to be isolated to the diesel building area. To verify the petroleum product is isolated; TVA is conducting additional geoprobe boring to help define the limited area impacted by the legacy diesel fuel oil leak. The Sequoyah NRC Resident Inspectors have been notified. |
