TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Darryn Buricl
Director of Planning Services
DATE: January 6, 2011
RE: Approve Granting Privilege in Street to METCO Environmental & Lang Oil Co. to
Install Monitoring Wells in North Main Street and Sterling Avenue (Plan Commission
Recommends Approval)
BACKGROUND
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.
ANALYSIS
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 the 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.
FISCAL IMPACT
None anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission approved of this request at its January 4, 2011 meeting.
Approved,
City Manager

Subject: Access permission for monitoring well installation within city right of way.
Dear Mr. Naiv,
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
quarterly groundwater sampling. These events only require approximately fifteen minutes of work at
each monitoring well.
It is our experience that the WDNR usually 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 project has not been scheduled, but is expected to be conducted in January 2011. Diggers Hotline

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,
Eric Dahl
Hydrogeologist
