ITEM I: GRANT PRIVILEGE IN THE STREET FOR A GROUNDWATER
MONITORING WELL AT EAST CUSTER AVENUE AND GRAND STREET
GENERAL INFORMATION
Petitioner: The Sigma Group, Inc.
Owner: City of Oshkosh
Action Requested:
The Sigma Group, Inc., on behalf of Oshkosh Housing Authority, is requesting privilege-in-the-
street to allow for installation of one groundwater monitoring well in City right-of-way.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
N/A but any location of a non-city or public utility use in City right-of-way requires the issuance
of a privilege-in-the-street permit.
Property Location and Type/Analysis:
In 2017, Sigma Group, Inc. identified subsurface impacts at the former Waite Grass Rug site
located at 1402 Mount Vernon Street. They previously obtained a privilege in the street for three
groundwater monitoring wells in 2017. The investigation was to monitor groundwater
contamination from the Waite site. Sigma Group, Inc. must now expand their area of
investigation. This further assessment of contamination is required by state statute. For this
analysis, one groundwater monitoring well is proposed to the southeast of the Waite Grass Rug
site to evaluate off-site groundwater quality. Privilege-in-the-street is required for the monitoring
well as it will be installed in the following location in the public right-of-way:
1. Within the northeast corner of the intersection of the Grand Street and East Custer Avenue
right-of-ways.
The well will be installed just below ground surface and protected with flush mount covers level
with the ground surface. When it is determined that the monitoring well is no longer needed, the
well will be abandoned in accordance with Wisconsin Administrative Code and the ground
surface restored to the extent practical.
The petitioner will coordinate with the Department of Public Works to ensure no conflicts with
City utilities. The Department of Public Works has reviewed the request and has no concerns
with the proposed installation that can not be addressed with the standard privilege-in-the-street
conditions.

RE: Privilege in Street Application
One Groundwater Monitoring Well
Right of Way — Grand Street and East Custer Avenue
Oshkosh, Wisconsin
The Sigma Group, Inc., (Sigma) has prepared this application on behalf of Oshkosh Housing
Authority to obtain a Privilege in Street permit to install one groundwater monitoring well
within the right of way near the intersection of Grand Street and East Custer Avenue in
Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Sigma has identified subsurface impacts at the former Waite Grass Rug site located at 1402
Mt Vernon Street in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. CVOC constituents at concentrations greater than
WDNR Enforcement Standards (ESs) and Preventive Action Limits (PALs) have been detected
within the groundwater sample collected from groundwater monitoring well MW-7 (located
off-site, within the Custer Avenue right-of-way). Further assessment of the degree and
extent of these impacts is required by State statute ch. NR 716. Therefore, one groundwater
monitoring well is proposed to be installed in the intersection of the Grand Street and East
Custer Avenue right-of-ways (ROWs) to assess if the groundwater contaminant plume is
expanding/migrating, and off-site vapor risk to the buildings located to the southeast of the
site may develop.
The proposed monitoring well will be located downgradient (southeast) of MW-7. Location
is shown on Figure 1. The final location of the well will be dependent upon underground
utility corridors, accessibility, etc. A summary of the proposed monitoring well location is as
follows:
• The monitoring well is proposed to be installed within the northeast corner of the
intersection of the Grand Street and East Custer Avenue ROWs.
The proposed well will be installed in accordance with Wisconsin Administrative Code ch.
NR 141 . The monitoring well will be installed using hollow stem auger (HSA) drilling
techniques to an anticipated depth of approximately 15 feet below ground surface (bgs).
The monitoring well will consist of a 10-foot length of 2-inch diameter PVC well screen
connected to approximately 5 feet of 2-inch diameter PVC riser. The well will each be
completed just below ground surface and protected with a flush mount cover level with
ground surface. When it is determined that the monitoring well is no longer needed, the well
will be abandoned in accordance with ch. NR 141 and the ground surface restored to the
extent practical.
