Cricle K has released the results of its weekly water well testing after the recent underground fuel leak at its Chino Valley location.

Testing commissioned by Circle K and conducted by a third-party chemical testing laboratory continues to detect no contamination from samples drawn from seven drinking water wells surrounding the store on immediately adjacent properties. With no evidence of impacts to these nearby wells from this fuel release after nearly a month of testing, the company has no plans to test additional sites at this time.

The contractors retained by Circle K have installed a thermal oxidizer system to remediate petroleum impacted soil in the area affected by the release. The thermal oxidizer is connected to perforated vapor extraction wells installed at various depths within the area of the release and creates a vacuum to extract gasoline from beneath the surface.
