Pursuant to NDEE Title 118 - Ground Water Quality Standards and Use Classification, public notification and opportunity for comment is hereby given of the following:

On or about February 9, 2023, a petroleum release was identified originating from a storage tank system located at 3006 Emmet Street, Omaha.  An approximate legal location is SE1/3, NE1/4, NW1/4, Section 09, Township 15N, Range 13E, Douglas County.

Follow-up investigation identified the effects of the release and led to the remedial actions proposed by NDEE.  The investigation resulted in a determination that this ground water contamination event is defined as remedial action class three.

The source of the release has been removed.  A Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) Tier 2 assessment was conducted.  The assessment indicated the presence of dissolved petroleum compounds in ground water.  The contaminant concentrations found were below the numerical levels used by the RBCA process to establish a need for further investigation or remediation.  Based on the current site conditions and property use, the NDEE has determined that no further remedial action is necessary due to the lack of threat to human health or safety.

Information regarding this release is contained in the file:  NDEE ID 49644, LST 020923-NH-0823.

Any person may receive further information or submit comments on the proposed action, and request or petition NDEE for a hearing, in writing, stating the nature of the issues to be raised in the hearing, on or before May 30, 2023.  A final decision by the Director will be made in a manner provided by Title 115, NAC Ch. 5.  Direct written correspondence to:  Director, NDEE, P.O. Box 98922, Lincoln, NE  68509-8922.  You may also call Nancy Mann at (402) 471-2186 with comments or if alternate formats of materials are needed.  TDD users call 711 and ask the relay operator to call (402) 471-2186.
