Problems/Comments

Petroleum impacted soil and groundwater are documented at the various FAA sites and former Naval facilities. Contamination is associated with abandoned UST and AST tanks (both diesel and gasoline), piping, drums, and potential sources such as floor drains. Initial FAA remedial actions included general debris cleanup in 1996 and removal of abandoned tanks and associated piping from an old military tank farm in 1997. This is building was recently used as a residence but was originally a communications building. It is located in the Control Building and Quarters Area, on the coast, southeast of Elephant Lake. Woody Island is 1.5 miles east of Kodiak Island. FAA (then the CAA) began activities here in 1941, on a 728-acre tract and 9-acre right-of-way on the east side of the island. Additional land was acquired by FAA from the Navy in the 1960s, including a 1929 building, tank farm, and dock site. In 1969 FAA leased 4.5 acres from the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society (WABHMS) for a VHF/UHF communications site. Transfer of east-island lands through BLM to the Lesnoi, Inc. Native Association, was begun in 1975 and completed in 1985, with additional lands made available for selection on the west side of the island. In 1986 FAA leased 10.8 acres from WABHMS for the VORTAC navigational aid. The remaining active FAA sites on the leased property are the VORTAC, an active RCAG, and a NDB (non-directional radio beacon facility). The WABHMS leaseholds are owned by National Ministries American Baptist Church, Valley Forge, PA and include FAA UST #s: 31-A-1 and 31-C-1 at the VORTAC site. Last staff assigned were Halverson, Patrick-Riley, Farnell, and Horwath.
