PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT JANUARY 04, 2011 ITEM I-A: CONSENT AGENDA GRANT PRIVILEGE IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR PLACEMENT OF THREE MONITORING WELLS AT THE CORNER OF NORTH MAIN STREET
& EAST STERLING AVENUE GENERAL INFORMATION Petitioner: Owner: METCO (Eric Dahl) City of Oshkosh Action Requested: The petitioner is requesting a privilege in the right-of-way for the
installation of 3 monitoring wells: -2 on East Sterling Avenue east of North Main Street. -l on North Main Street at the northeast corner of North Main Street and Vilas Avenue Applicable
Ordinance Provisions: A privilege in the right-of-way allows placement of non-city related items in the street right-ofway area (i.e. street, terrace, sidewalk). Locating any non-city
item or private utility in city rightof-way requires issuance of a privilege in street permit. Property Location and Type/Analysis: As part of an environmental investigation concerning
petroleum release at the Lang Oil Property (Blue Moose Convenience Store/CITGO Automobile Service Station) located at 834 North Main Street, the petitioner is proposing to install three
monitoring wells within public right-of-way. Two proposed monitoring wells are to be located along East Sterling Avenue; one on the north side of the right-of-way in the street and one
on the south side of the right-of-way within the sidewalk. The third is proposed to be located on the west side of North Main Street right-of-way near the Vilas Avenue intersection.
The wells will be an 8-inch diameter bore approximately 12 feet deep. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will require the wells to remain in place for approximately two years
or longer for water sampling. Once investigation is complete, the wells will be abandoned per WDNR requirements. The Department of Public Works has reviewed the proposed monitoring well
locations and recommends approval of the privilege within the right-of-way with conditions typically required of this type of request. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval
of the privilege in the right-of-way for the installation of the proposed monitoring wells as requested with the following conditions:
1) The monitoring wells are installed in a manner that is approved by the Department of Public Works with no modifications or changes in construction procedure without prior approval
by the Department of Public Works. 2) If no longer needed, the monitoring wells are properly abandoned in accordance with City standards and under the direction of the Department of
Public Works. 3) Any problem which may arise as a result of the placement of the monitoring wells be the responsibility of the petitioner, contractors and owner to correct in coordination
with the Department of Public Works. 4) All appropriate permits are obtained prior to the start of placement of the monitoring wells. 5) The monitoring wells be modified or removed immediately
upon the request of the City. 6) The petitioner and contractors secure and submit to the City Clerk a separate insurance policy which names the City as an additional insured with a minimum
coverage of $200,000 per person and $500,000 in general aggregate. 7) It is the responsibility of the petitioner to file in a timely manner a new insurance certificate with the City
Clerk upon expiration of an existing certificate. Failure to do so will result in the revocation of the privilege in street upon 10 days notice. 8) The petitioner and contractors execute
hold harmless agreements with the City. 9) The facility is part of and documented with Digger's Hotline system. Item I-A. N Main & E Sterling-MWell Priv in ROW 2

Oshkosh Department of Community Development 215 Church Avenue, P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, VVI54901 Subject: Access permission for monitoring well installation within city right of way. Dear
Mr. Naw, METCO is conducting an environmental investigation concerning a petroleum release at the Lang Oil property located at 834 North Main Street. Per requirements by the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources, three monitoring wells are to be installed within city right of way to define the extent of petroleum contamination in groundwater. One monitoring well
is to be located along North Main Street to the west of the Lang Oil property and two monitoring wells are to be located along East Sterling Avenue to the north of the Lang Oil property.
See attached map for proposed monitoring well locations. Therefore, we are requesting permission from the City of Oshkosh to conduct this work. The monitoring wells will be constructed
by advancing an 8-inch diameter soil boring to the required depth (12 feet) and installing a two inch diameter monitoring well with a slotted screen. Uniform washed sand is installed
around the well screen to serve as a filter pack. Bentonite is used above the filter pack to provide an annular space seal. A locking watertight cap along with a steel flush-mounted
cover will be installed with the monitoring wells for protection. Soil cuttings generated during the drilling process will be containerized in 55-gallon DOT drums and will be temporarily
stored on the Lang Oil property until they can be properly disposed (approximately one month). The monitoring well installation project is expected to be completed in one day. After
the monitoring well installation is completed, access to the wells will be necessary on occasion. Events where access to the wells will be required in the next year include development
of the wells and and quarterly groundwater sampling. These events only require approximately fifteen minutes of work at each monitoring well. It is our experience that the VVDNRusually
requires that monitoring wells remain in place (for sampling purposes) for a duration of approximately 2 years, and possibly longer, depending on actual site conditions/WDNR requirements.
Once the groundwater monitoring is complete, the monitoring wells will be properly abandoned with bentonite clay. This proj ect has not been scheduled, but is expected to be conducted
in January 2011. Diggers Hotline Environmental Consulting, Fuel System Design, Installation and Service 4
and local water/sewer utilities will be notified. A City of Oshkosh General Application, application fee, and two Site Layout Maps showing the proposed monitoring well locations have
been attached. Should you have any questions, or require additional information, do not hesitate to contact our La Crosse office at 608-781-8879. Sincerely, LP~c Eric Dahl Hydrogeologist
