PUBLIC NOTICE
NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF WATER, ENERGY, AND ENVIRONMENT
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA
Pursuant to DWEE’s Title 118 - Ground Water Quality Standards and Use Classification, public notification and opportunity for comment is hereby given of the following:
1. On or about July 7, 2010, a petroleum release was identified originating from the Bailey Yard Diesel Shop owned by Union Pacific Railroad. The source of the release is located at Bailey Yard Diesel Shop Tunnels, West Front Street, North Platte. An approximate legal location is NW1/4, NE1/4, Section 35, Township 14N, Range 31W, Lincoln County.
2. Follow-up investigation identified the effects of the release and led to the remedial actions proposed by DWEE. The investigation resulted in a determination that this ground water contamination event is defined as remedial action class two.
3. Free product was found at the site, and cleanup of readily removable free product will be performed. In addition, a Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) Tier 2 assessment was conducted for one or more of the following subsurface exposure pathways of concern: ground water ingestion, soil leaching to ground water, intrusion of vapors from contaminated ground water, and intrusion of vapors from contaminated subsurface soils. The contaminant concentrations found are below the target levels determined under the RBCA process and therefore do not require remediation. When readily removable free product has been remediated and a period of post-remedial monitoring confirms the cleanup was successful for the current site conditions and property use, the site file will be closed.
Information regarding this release is contained in the file: Facility ID 60192, 070710-DC-1600.
Any person may receive further information or submit comments on the proposed action, and request or petition DWEE for a hearing, in writing, stating the nature of the issues to be raised in the hearing, on or before February 12, 2026. A final decision by the Director will be made in a manner provided by Title 115, NAC Ch. 3.
