ARRA FUNDING FOR LEAKING UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES AT THE T-11 LUST SITE IN SAN CARLOS, AZ

The contract involves the allocation of $71,772 to support remediation activities related to leaking underground storage tanks at the T-11 Ranch site located on the San Carlos Tribal Trust lands in San Carlos, Arizona. The project’s scope includes advancing ten borings to depths of approximately 50 feet below ground surface, with six of these borings being converted into monitoring wells. Water samples from the borings will be screened on-site using a mobile laboratory. The work period is set from December 14, 2009, to September 28, 2011, and the contract may be amended to incorporate additional funding for further remediation and sampling efforts if necessary. This opportunity was exclusively available to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency contractor under an existing contract and is intended to obligate funds for eligible Tribal work at the site. The contract is managed by the EPA’s Headquarters Acquisition Division based in Washington, D.C., and is part of efforts to address environmental contamination under ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) funding. The work supports environmental protection and remediation in coordination with Tribal authorities and involves the application of specialized drilling and sampling techniques to assess and mitigate underground tank leaks at the specified location in Arizona.
