Addition Block 1 Lot 3 and Petroleum Industries, Inc. Addition Block 1 Lot 1 of the J W Calloway Survey Abstract No 336 Fort Worth Tarrant County Texas ("Site') to allow the public the opportunity to give testimony 2. Adopt the attached resolution supporting the Applicant's application to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for an MSD for the Site and 3 Adopt the attached ordinance prohibiting the potable use of designated groundwater from beneath the site DISCUSSION In 2003 a state law became effective creating the concept of a Municipal Setting Designation (MSD) The purpose of an MSD is to certify properties in order to limit the scope of or eliminate the need for investigation of or response actions addressing contaminant impacts to groundwater that has been restricted from use as potable water by municipal ordinance A person typically a developer must apply to the TCEQ for certification of their property as an MSD If granted they will not be required to clean up designated groundwater on their site to drinking water standards, although other cleanup standards such as inhalation and contact must still be met. The application will not be approved by the TCEQ if the municipality where the site is located does not give formal approval That approval must be by means of a city council resolution supporting the application and an ordinance prohibiting potable use of groundwater in the MSD (potable water is water used for irrigating crops intended for human consumption drinking showering bathing or cooking purposes) In January 2005 City Council adopted an ordinance creating a procedure for persons applying to the TCEQ for an MSD to get support of that application from the City Council The procedure includes filing an application with the City staff review of the application for potential impacts to City interests a public meeting held for the purpose of providing information on the application to the affected community and a public hearing Logname 52MSDDIRECTFUEL Page 1 of 2 On April 11 2007 Direct Fuels filed an application with the City seeking support of an MSD at 12401 12485 and 12625 Calloway Cemetery Road Staff from the departments of Development, Engineering Environmental Management, Transportation and Public Works and Water reviewed the application for potential impacts to City interests No significant concerns were identified Notice was issued as required by ordinance and a public meeting was held at the East Regional Library on May 22 2007 Seven representatives of the Applicant and three city staff were present. Twenty-three residents of Fort Worth and surrounding cities were in attendance Residents expressed concern that contamination in the groundwater if not remediated might spread beyond the current area of impact. Applicant's representative explained that the source of contamination has been removed and the contamination plumes have reached a static state and has begun to naturally attenuate over time If approved this MSD shall be designated as CFW-MSD-0011 The designated groundwater at the Site is shallow with approximate depth to groundwater of between 34 and 40 feet below ground surface (bgs) The designated groundwater zone is the water table aquifer predominantly comprised of clayey sand to gravelly sand The bottom of the shallow water table is defined by a limestone unit at a depth of 169 feet. This limestone acts as an aquitard which prevents the vertical migration of water and contaminants to the underlying potable aquifers The first significant bedrock groundwater-bearing zone beneath the site is the Woodbine Formation However the quality of the Woodbine water is poor with high iron content and is used only for irrigation or industrial purposes in the area. The first bedrock aquifer beneath the area used for potable purposes is the Trinity Group found at depths of 800 to 1600 feet below ground surface (bgs) The chemicals of concern in the groundwater are petroleum hydrocarbons, Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) chlorinated solvents, and their associated degradation products Petroleum hydrocarbon releases are from petroleum stored in bulk, at the pipeline terminals. The sources of the chlorinated solvents are not known with certainty The Fort Worth Water Department provides water service to all existing residential and commercial/industrial properties within the City limit of the City of Fort Worth within '/z mile of the MSD boundary All undeveloped properties (within the City Limits of the City of Fort Worth) with '/z mile of the site are eligible to receive water service from the Fort Worth Water Department in accordance with the Texas Water Service Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) No 12311 (City of Fort Worth) and the City of Fort Worth Policy for the Installation of Community Services. The cities of Arlington and Euless are also within 'h mile of the MSD boundary The site is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5 FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
