Home My WebLink AboutItem I PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT JANUARY 21,2020 ITEM I: GRANT PRIVILEGE IN THE STREET FOR A GROUNDWATER MONITORING WELL AT THE NORTH 100-200 BLOCKS OF E. PACKER AVENUE GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: General Engineering Company Owner: City of Oshkosh Action Requested: General Engineering Company by request of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WIDNR) is applying for a 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: The WIDNR has contracted with General Engineering Company to oversee installation of one two-inch monitoring well in the terrace area of E. Packer Avenue. The purpose of the monitoring well is to define the extent of ground water contamination emanating from underground storage tanks at the Witzke Electric property, 155 E. Packer Avenue. The precise location of the well will be determined the day of the well installation after drilling two soil borings on the Witzke property to observe the direction of ground water flow. It is anticipated the well will be placed just east of the driveway leading to the Oshkosh Corporation property. Based on the findings from the monitoring well, additional wells may be required. The submitted map shows the extents of the project area within the terrace to allow placement of additional wells if needed. This will negate the need to for the applicant to reapply for additional privilege requests. The requirement for placing additional wells will be to coordinate with the Department of Public Works to determine the precise location and obtain necessary permits. The monitoring well(s)will be installed as not to disrupt traffic on E. Packer Avenue.

Afterwards, the well(s)will be abandoned per WIDNR,USEPA and City of Oshkosh requirements. The petitioner will coordinate with the Department of Public Works to ensure no conflicts with City utilities.

Subject: Privilege in the Street for Packer Ave ROW Monitoring Well Installation Attachments: Proposed Monitoring Well Location Map.pdf; General Application.pdf Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Good Morning Jeff, Thank you for sending over the information for the above. Attached you will find the Privilege Request including a map and description of the work proposed below. Does this also need to be mailed to the address on the form? Also, is there a way for us to pay the fee either over the phone or electronically? If so I would like to take care of that today and please send me the contact information to do that. If only a check is accepted please let me know where and to who's attention I send that? GEC wants to make sure to get this in for the December 161"deadline if possible. Also, it appears most of the check boxes on the second page of the form for submittal requirements do not apply to this project as it is very limited in scope (1-2inch monitoring well). If the below description is not sufficient, please let me know and I am happy to provide whatever else you need. Proposed Scope: General Engineering Company is requesting access to oversee the installation of one 2-inch groundwater monitoring well in the terrace right-of-way of East Packer Avenue across from 155 E Packer Avenue (Witzke Electric). The well is being installed as required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources(WDNR)to further define the extent of groundwater contamination associated with a former underground storage tank system at the Witzke Electric property. The location of the well in the terrace ROW will be determined the day of drilling by two borings installed on the Witzke Electric site to determine the direction of groundwater flow in the direction of Packer Avenue. Depending on what is found in those borings the specific location across the street (east or west) will be determined at that time. It is anticipated that the well will be located just east of the apron to the Oshkosh Corporation entrance with location dependent on utilities identified by the locate. If based on the results of the well installation, additional wells are necessary in the ROW,the attached Proposed Monitoring Well Location Map also includes not only the location of the proposed well to be installed, but the area it is anticipated that any additional wells will be located. Additional wells would be installed on a different date than associated with this request and the City notified for approval prior to installation. The wells will be installed by an drill rig capable of fitting on the terrace, not to obstruct traffic on Packer Avenue. The wells will be constructed of 2-inch PVC with 10 ft slotted screen in an 8 inch borehole backfilled with sand filter pack and bentonite seal. The wells will extend to depth of approximately 13 feet and will have a cast iron cover flush with the surrounding grass surface to allow mowing. Installation of the well will be completed in less than one day's time. Sampling of the well will be conducted until the site is closed, resulting in the well being present in the E Packer Ave ROW for up to two years. Thank you again Jeff and if you need anything else, do not hesitate. Beth i Paqe 4 Beth A.
