Cleanup Status
Note: The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) is the lead agency for managing cleanups at this facility.
The approved remedy is being implemented and enforced by a Consent Order agreed to by Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VA DEQ) and the Facility on September 9, 2014.
A final remedy decision was complete for the Former Mobil-Manassas Terminal on March 21, 2014. The facility’s final remedy includes on-going groundwater monitoring, vacuum truck extraction of ground water, and institutional controls in the form of a Special Warranty Deed.
Institutional controls at the facility restrict the use of groundwater from beneath the property, restrict the use of the property to industrial purposes only, and require vapor intrusion evaluation and/or mitigation controls if any new buildings designed for occupation are built within 100 feet of contaminated groundwater. Institutional controls also require periodic evaluations of the protectiveness of the remedy through annual reporting.
On September 16, 2019, the EPA conducted a Long Term Stewardship assessment to assess whether the remedy was implemented and protective of human health and the environment. EPA determined that the remedy institutional and engineering controls have been fully implemented and no control deficiencies were identified.

Institutional and Engineering Controls help ensure human exposure and groundwater migration are under control at a cleanup facility. Where control types have been reported by states and EPA in EPA’s RCRAInfo, they are shown below. Not all control types are needed at all facilities, and some facilities do not require any controls. Where there are blanks, the control types may not be needed, may not be in place, or may not be reported in RCRAInfo.
