1.0 Introduction
On March 15-17, 2010 the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE)
conducted a Nitrate Source Investigation at the Park PWS #1 Site in Park, Kansas. The
Source Investigation (SI) included the collection of soil and groundwater samples in the
vicinity of the Park PWS #1 Site.
The primary objectives of the SI were to:
•
Identify nitrate impacts to soil and groundwater in the vicinity of Park, Kansas.
•
Determine if nitrate impacts to groundwater are attributable to non-point sources
or point sources and specify the point sources for nitrate contamination.
2.0 Site Description and Location
The City of Park is located in Gove County in northwestern Kansas in the High Plains
section of the Great Plains physiographic province. The Park PWS Well #1 Site is located
in the vicinity of Fourth Street and Elm Street. The legal description of the site is the NE
¼ of the NE ¼ of the SW ¼ of Section 7, Township 11 South, Range 27 West.
Geographic coordinates of the site are 39o 06’ 40.5” north latitude and 100o 21’ 46.0”
west longitude. The city of Park is a rural agricultural community with a population of
approximately 150.
3.0 Site Background
3.1
Elevator Facilities
The Park PWS #1 Site includes two elevator facilities identified as potential sources for
nitrate contamination and the subject properties of the Nitrate Source Investigation. The
property (land) on which the elevator facilities are situated is owned by the Union Pacific
Railroad and leased to companies who manage or sublease the elevator facilities
(structures) on the property. The ‘East’ former elevator facility located at 504 S. Cedar is
currently owned by The Scoular Company and subleased to Hi-Plains Coop who operates
the facility. The ‘West’ former elevator facility located at 502 W. 5th, Railroad Right-away is currently operated and owned by Frontier Ag Inc. Refer to Figure 1 depicting the
‘East’ and ‘West’ elevator facilities.
Brief histories of the ‘East’ and ‘West’ elevator facilities are provided below.

Information provided in the above timelines was gathered from historical records and
interviews with previous facility operators. Additional information gathered from
interviews with former elevator facility operators is summarized below. Copies of KDHE
information request letters, responses, and interview documentation is provided in
Appendix 10.3.
Midwest Coop acquired the facility from the Gove County Coop some time around 1970.
The Midwest Coop never stored, used, or sold liquid or dry fertilizer at their facility in
Park, Kansas, however on rare occasions 1,000 gallon or less prefilled liquid nitrate nurse
tanks from Quinter were staged on the property for same day pick-up by local farmers. A
12,000 gallon bulk anhydrous ammonia tank was installed west of the office building by
Midwest coop in about 1991. Anhydrous ammonia was received by semi-truck and
transferred to nurse tanks for distribution. Anhydrous ammonia was transferred through
above ground pipelines and hoses at the bulk tank. There were no known spills or
releases of anhydrous ammonia or fertilizers at the Midwest Coop facility in Park. The
anhydrous ammonia tanks were removed from the Midwest Coop facility in about 2003
when Midwest sold all assets including the anhydrous ammonia to CHS.
Frontier Ag purchased the Midwest Coop facility in Park, Kansas in 2007. When
purchased and since then there has been no anhydrous ammonia, liquid, or dry fertilizers
stored, used, or sold on the property.
No liquid or dry fertilizers were stored, used, or sold by ADM (Archer Daniels Midland)
Collingwood Grain at their facility in Park, Kansas. A 12,000 gallon bulk storage
anhydrous ammonia tank was installed by ADM/Collingwood in approximately 1976. A
second 12,000 gallon bulk storage anhydrous ammonia tank was installed in
approximately 1994. Anhydrous ammonia was primarily received by truck, occasionally
received by railcar, and transferred into the bulk anhydrous ammonia storage tank. The
anhydrous ammonia was transferred to 1,000 gallon mobile nurse tanks and distributed to
farmers for field applications. Anhydrous ammonia was transferred through above
ground pipelines and hoses. No underground piping was used to transfer anhydrous
ammonia. A former employee of Collingwood recalled one instance where an above
ground leak of anhydrous ammonia occurred but was quickly repaired within the hour.
In 1998 Heinrich Feeds purchased the Collingwood grain facility including the two
12,000 gallon bulk storage anhydrous ammonia tanks and ten 1,000 gallon trailer nurse
tanks. No liquid or dry fertilizers were stored, used, or sold by Heinrich Feeds at their
facility in Park, Kansas. Anhydrous ammonia was received by tractor-trailer tank trucks,
stored in the 12,000 gallon bulk tanks, and used to refill trailer nurse tanks for delivery to
farm customers. The anhydrous ammonia was transferred at the loading riser located in
the middle of the two 12,000 gal bulk storage tanks. Anhydrous ammonia leaks or
releases occurred when receiving loads from tractor-trailer tank trucks and when loading
1,000 gallon trailer nurse tanks. The releases occurred at the end of unloading tractortrailer tank trucks or unloading 1,000 gallon trailer nurse tanks, while releasing the
2
pressurized vapor a small amount of liquid was normally discharged, assumed to be one
pound or less. The release occurred at the loading riser and at the valve at the end of the
above ground pipeline.
In March 2009, The Scoular Company purchased the Heinrich Feeds facility in Park,
Kansas. The Scoular Company did not purchase the two 12,000 gallon bulk anhydrous
ammonia storage tanks. These were sold separately and removed from the property prior
to May 1st, 2009. The facility currently operates as the Hi-Plains Coop where no dry,
liquid, or anhydrous ammonia fertilizers are stored, used, or sold.
A review of Kansas Department of Agriculture, Pesticide and Fertilizer Program
inspection files indicate: the Midwest Coop anhydrous ammonia tanks were inspected in
2003 with no major infractions noted; the Heinrich Feeds anhydrous ammonia tanks were
inspected in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003 with no major infractions noted. No
information was provided in the inspection files regarding Smoot, Collingwood, or ADM
facility operations at the ‘East’ facility. There was no evidence of liquid or dry fertilizer
storage, use, or distribution at either the ‘East’ or ‘West’ facilities provided in the
inspection reports.
A review of the KDHE spills data base indicate that no anhydrous ammonia or fertilizer
spills were reported to KDHE in the vicinity of the Park PWS #1 Site.
3.2
History of Nitrate Sampling at the Park PWS #1 Site
Long-term Monitoring (LTM) sampling conducted from 1996 to 2008 identified nitrate
concentrations exceeding the MCL in monitoring wells MW-1S, MW-3S, and MW-10S.
These results are summarized in Table 1.
In May 2009 a Comprehensive Sampling Event was conducted at the Park PWS #10 Site.
KDHE sampled Park PWS well #1, monitoring wells of the Park PWS #1 Site,
monitoring wells of the Mardain Motors LUST Site, two domestic wells upgradient of the
Park PWS #1 Site, and one irrigation well upgradient of the Park PWS #1 Site. Analytical
results indicated nitrate levels exceed the MCL in seven monitoring wells and one private
well. Nitrate analytical results from the Comprehensive Sampling Event are provided in
Table 2 and depicted on Figure 2. Based on the results of the 2009 Comprehensive
Sampling Event it was recommended an investigation be conducted to determine the
source of nitrate contamination at the Park PWS #10 Site.
4.0 Physical Setting
4.1
Land Use
The subject property consists of two agricultural supply and grain elevators facilities used
for the storage and shipment of grain. The two subject elevator facilities are separated
approximately 500 feet by a roadway, single grain elevator, and vacant property. Rail
lines of the Union Pacific Railroad abut the subject elevator properties to the south.
Further south are State Highway 211, two commercial properties, and agricultural fields.
The city of Park is immediately northeast of the subject properties. The area surrounding
3
the subject properties to the northwest, southwest, and southeast is predominantly
agricultural fields.
4.2
Site Geology
The site is located in the High Plains section of the Great Plains physiographic province.
The Peoria and Loveland Formations consisting of late Pleistocene eolian silt, clay, and
sand, cover the site to a depth of approximately 45 feet below ground surface (bgs).
Underlying the Peoria and Loveland Formations, from approximately 45-155 feet bgs, is
the Ogallala Formation of Pliocene Age. The Ogallala consist chiefly of sand, gravel, silt,
and clay and is the principal aquifer in north and west central Gove County. The Ogallala
is underlain by the Smoky Hill Chalk member, a confining bed of the Niobrara Chalk.
The Smoky Hill Chalk is a light to dark gray chalk and chalky shale, generally thinbedded and platy.
Site geology described during the 1996 well installations is summarized below.
0-40 ft Clay (firm-hard)
40-125 ft Sand (fine-course)
125-135 ft Clayey Sand (very dense)
135 ft Caliche (~1’ thick, very hard)
136-155 ft Silty Sand (dense)
155 ft Shale Bedrock
4.3
Hydrogeology
The Ogallala aquifer is the primary source of groundwater in the vicinity of the site.
Groundwater is encountered from approximately 105 feet (the top of the groundwater
table) to 155 feet (the base of the Ogallala aquifer). The groundwater table flows
generally northeast with a gradient of approximately 0.3 feet per 100 feet.
5.0 Targets
The primary target identified is Park PWS well #1. The PWS well #1 is equipped with a
carbon treatment system to remove volatile organic contamination (VOCs) from the
groundwater. There is currently no treatment system installed on PWS well #1 to address
nitrate related contamination.
No private domestic wells in the vicinity of the site have been identified as targets for
nitrate contamination. All residences within the city of Park obtain their drinking water
from the Park PWS #1 well system.
6.0 Assessment Activities
6.1
Description of Field Activities
On March 15, 2010, the KDHE field sampling team (Jon Vopata and Mike LaBuda)
arrived at the Park PWS #1 site and met with Kerry Billinger at the Park city building to
review the city of Park sanitary sewer and water line plat maps. The field sampling team
then located and marked city sewer and water lines, located other marked utilities, and
4
completed a utility clearance checklist. Utility clearance documents are provided in
Appendix 10.7.
Utilizing a 6600 Geoprobe, the KDHE field sampling team initially attempted to collect
groundwater samples from two sample locations. GW-1 located along State Highway 211
upgradient of the subject properties and GW-2 located at the ‘East’ elevator facility. At
groundwater sample location GW-1 refusal was encountered at 65 feet bgs with no
groundwater available for sampling. Groundwater sample location GW-2 was probed to
110 feet below ground surface (near refusal) where one groundwater sample was
obtained for nitrate analysis. The Geoprobe rods could not be extracted from probe
location GW-2 and were later plugged in place by KDHE, see memorandum ‘Plugging in
Place of Geoprobe Rods, Park PWS #1 Site’ dated August 2010. Due to difficulties in
extracting the Geoprobe rods, no other Geoprobe groundwater sampling was attempted
during the Nitrate Source Investigation. Groundwater sample locations GW-1 and GW-2
are depicted in Figure 3.
The 6600 Geoprobe was used to collect soil cores from surface to five feet bgs at 20
sample locations at the ‘East’ and ‘West’ elevator facilities. Each soil core was collected
using decontaminated Geoprobe macrocore samplers and new 5-ft acetate sleeves. A
manual hand auger and trowels were used to collect soil samples at 5 soil sample
locations (SP-3, SP-18, SP-19, SP-20, and SP-21) not accessible to the 6600 Geoprobe.
The decontaminated auger was used to excavate a hole to the desired sampling depth then
a decontaminated hand trowel was used to collect a soil sample into new Ziploc plastic
bags. Soil sample locations are depicted on Figure 3.
All soil cores and soil bags collected were immediately labeled and samples were quickly
collected for field screening analysis. Soil samples were field screened for nitrates using
EM Quant® nitrate (NO3-) test strips following KDHE SOP BER-31-4 Merckoquant
Nitrate Test Strips. Based on the qualitative field screenings, select soil samples were
collected in laboratory supplied glass jars for off site laboratory analysis. The soil sample
jars were immediately labeled and placed in an ice filled cooler for transport to the
KDHE environmental laboratory.
Before departing the site on March 17, 2010 the KDHE field sampling team collected
groundwater samples from site monitoring well MW-3S and Anthony Feldts domestic
well for nitrate analysis. Also, all soil and groundwater sample locations were GPSed
using a Thalus Mobile Mapper GPS unit.
On April 13th, 2010 Jon Vopata returned to the Park PWS #1 Site to conduct LTM
sampling. LTM sampling activities included the collection of groundwater samples from
the nine Park PWS #1 site monitoring wells and PWS well #1. In addition to well
sampling, Jon Vopata also collected a deeper soil sample (4 feet bgs) from SP-3 using the
same manual soil sampling techniques previously described. LTM sample locations are
depicted on Figure 3.

6.2
Sampling Plan Deviations
Soil and groundwater sample locations were chosen in the field by the project manager
based on field observations made on site. Only two groundwater sample locations were
attempted and only one groundwater sample was collected utilizing the 6600 Geoprobe.
No other groundwater samples were attempted with the Geoprobe due to difficulties in
extracting rods and time constraints. No soil samples were collected for VOC analysis
during the Nitrate Source Investigation.
6.3
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
All relevant Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and the KDHE approved Quality
Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) were followed during field sampling activities. All
reusable sampling equipment was thoroughly decontaminated with a soap-water wash
and de-ionized water rinse after each use. Laboratory samples were placed in labeled and
appropriate sample containers immediately following collection. Samples were preserved
in an ice filled cooler. Chain of custody procedures were observed thru sample
submission to the laboratory. Sample analysis was performed by the KDHE Department
of Health and Environmental Laboratories (DHEL).
7.0 Assessment Results
7.1
Soils
Soil samples collected at the former Midwest Coop facility (west elevator) were focused
around the former bulk anhydrous ammonia storage tank and old storage building.
Qualitative field screening results suggested little or no nitrate impacts to soils around the
ammonia tank and building. Laboratory analytical results from selected soil samples SP3, SP-4, SP-7, and SP-16 confirmed the low to negligible nitrate in soils at these
locations.
Field screening results of soil sample SP-12 collected along the truck scale at the former
Midwest Coop facility (west elevator) suggested nitrate impacts to soil. The off site
laboratory analytical result of soil sample SP-12 (68.18 mg/Kg) confirmed the elevated
nitrate concentration in soil at this location. Nitrate analytical results in soil at the west
elevator facility are provided in Table 3 and depicted in Figure 4A.
Soil samples collected at the former ADM/Collingwood Grain, Heinrich Feeds, and
currently Hi-Plains Coop (east elevator) were focused around the former anhydrous
ammonia nurse tank parking area and bulk anhydrous ammonia tanks. Qualitative field
screening results from samples collected in the nurse tank parking area (SP-1 and SP-2)
suggested little to no nitrate impacts. These low nitrate impacts were confirmed by
laboratory analysis of sample SP-2 (5.3 mg/Kg).
Soil samples collected in the vicinity of the former bulk anhydrous ammonia tanks at the
east elevator facility indicated qualitative field screening results suggesting substantial
nitrate impacts to soils. Soil samples SP-18 (894 mg/Kg), SP-19 (224 mg/Kg), SP-23
6
(57.93 mg/Kg), and SP-25 (450 mg/Kg) confirmed the elevated nitrate concentrations in
soils in the vicinity of the former bulk storage tanks. Nitrate analytical results in soil at
the east elevator facility are provided in Table 3 and depicted in Figure 4B.
7.2
Groundwater
Upgradient groundwater sample location GW-1 was attempted but was unsuccessful as
refusal was reached at 65 feet below ground surface. A groundwater sample collected
from Butch’s domestic well (2.7 mg/L) and 2009 upgradient groundwater sampling of
Kinderknecht irrigation well (3.6 mg/L), Kinderknecht domestic well (5.3 mg/L), and
Riedel’s domestic well (11 mg/L) all indicate groundwater nitrate analytical results near
or below the MCL of 10 mg/L.
Groundwater samples collected from probe location GW-2 (12 mg/L) and shallow
monitoring wells MW-1S (130 mg/L), MW-3S (23 mg/L), MW-9S (19 mg/L), and MW10S (24 mg/L) all indicate nitrate concentrations exceeding the MCL of 10 mg/L.
Groundwater samples collected from PWS well #1 (7.5 mg/L) and deep monitoring wells
MW-1D (3 mg/L), MW-2D (2 mg/L), MW-3D (2.1 mg/L), MW-9D (3.2 mg/L), and
MW-10D (3.2 mg/L) all indicate nitrate concentrations below the MCL. These
groundwater results suggest nitrate impacts to shallow groundwater persist at the west
elevator facility, east elevator facility, and down gradient of these facilities. Groundwater
analytical results are summarized in Tables 1, 2, 4 and depicted on Figure 5.
8.0 Conclusions/Recommendations
Nitrate exceeded applicable standards for soil and groundwater at the west elevator
facility. Groundwater has been consistently above the MCL of 10 mg/l in a shallow
monitoring well (MW-1S) located just north of the west elevator. The deep monitoring
well in this area (MW-1D) has been below 3 mg/l for six sampling events since 1999.
The presence of nitrate in the shallow part of the aquifer is indicative of a nearby source
of nitrate. Soil sampling conducted west of the west elevator identified slightly elevated
(68.18 mg/kg) nitrate at sampling point SP-12. This sampling point is located adjacent to
the truck scale at the west elevator facility. Based on the preliminary field results and
information gathered during various interviews conducted by KHDE, the most likely
sources of nitrate contamination would be from a leaking anhydrous ammonia nurse tank
or leaking liquid nitrate nurse tank staged on the property, likely during Midwest Coops
ownership (1970? to 2007).
Nitrate exceeded applicable standards for soil and groundwater at the east elevator
facility. Groundwater has been consistently above the MCL of 10 mg/l in MW-3S (23
mg/l), MW-10S (24 mg/l), and MW-9S (19 mg/l). Monitoring wells located in the deeper
zones were consistently less than 3 mg/l which is indicative of a nearby source of nitrate.
Soil sampling conducted just west of the elevator in the vicinity of bulk anhydrous
ammonia tanks identified a source area. Nitrate concentrations in soil ranged from 48.5
mg/kg to 894 mg/kg, with the highest concentration at the ground surface which is likely
from leaks/spills in this area. Potential responsible parties for this contamination include
ADM/Collingwood Grain and Heinrich Feeds since both operated the bulk anhydrous
7
ammonia tanks and interview documentation suggests releases at the facility during both
operations.
Historical VOC contamination from the east elevator has impacted Park PWS well #1
which is being addresses by the KDHE Underground Storage Tank Program. A treatment
system at Park PWS well #1 currently treats any possible VOC contamination present in
the water; however this system is not effective on nitrate contamination. Although PWS
well #1 is not impacted by nitrate (7.5 mg/l) above the MCL the potential exist for future
impact to PWS well #1 by nitrate contamination in the groundwater.
Based on the presence of elevated nitrate in groundwater and soil, the potential threat of
nitrate contamination to the Park PWS well #1, the identification of source areas, and the
documentation of potentially responsible parties, it is recommended that site be officially
transferred from the Orphan Sites Program to an appropriate State Response Program.
