Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Met with David Pruse, local realtor, representing Access Alaska which may use the building. Questions concerning the impact of the west Gaffney Road PCE/TCE ground water plumes to the western annex of the store were discussed. It appears that vapor intrusion is a possibility - only testing will either prove or disprove the possibility. |

Work plan submitted by Hoefler for groundwater sampling has been approved after revisions, clarifications, and addendums from July 22, July 24, and August 25. Two temporary monitoring wells will be installed (one at source area and one downgradient) to determine if there is still contamination in the groundwater resulting from the former bakery tank. RP has agreed to also collect sample for chlorinated solvents to evaluate the status of this existing plume (from another source) in the area. |
