PUBLIC NOTICE

 

NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF WATER, ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT

Lincoln, Nebraska

 

 

 

Pursuant to NDEE 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 November 10, 2025, a petroleum release was identified originating from a storage tank system owned by Mentzer Oil Company.  The source of the release is located at 3002 South Jeffers Street, North Platte.  An approximate legal location is SW1/4, NE1/4, SW1/4, Section 09, Township 13N, Range30W, 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 one.

3.   The source of the release has been removed.  A Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) Tier 1 assessment was conducted for one or more of the following exposure pathways of concern: surface soils, ground water ingestion, soil leaching to ground water, and intrusion of vapors to a structure from contaminated ground water and contaminated soils.  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 DWEE 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: DWEE ID 34228, LST 111025-BD-0900.

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 16, 2026. A final decision by the Director will be made in a manner provided by Title 115, NAC Ch. 5.  Direct written correspondence to: Director, DWEE, 245 Fallbrook Blvd, Lincoln, NE  68509. 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.
