12/31/2003 Update or Other Action Reviewed site to determine site status. Soil removed during UST removal has apparently been placed back in the excavation. DCED requested a release from liability or a de minimis settlement agreement in 1994. The DEC denied the request and required additional site assessment. Janice Wiegers
2/19/2004 Update or Other Action RP Listed may be incorrect. DCED does not know of property but will look into history. Mike Jaynes
2/19/2004 Update or Other Action DCED responded with some site history. DCED never took title to property but sold the note and deed and let another party go after forclosure. Apparently an individual in Anchorage now owns the property. Made request to DCED to provide plat or map showing location relative to Tok and final documents showing who bought the note and deed. Spoke with Jim Anderson who will forward request to his supervisor. Mike Jaynes
3/1/2004 Update or Other Action A search of the DNR recorder's database shows property purchased by Shorecrest Development Co., transferred to Paul Nangle, then tranferred to Clarence Larsen Jr. Mike Jaynes

4/20/2009 Site Visit Site visit by Cheryl Paige of IPP. She made the following observations: "Site overview wasn’t possible due to deep snow cover (about four feet). The building is currently for lease or sale. I didn’t see where the tanks may have been located - there weren’t any vent pipes at the building (street side). I could only see the front (south side) and west side of the property. All of the bay doors were open to the weather." Neal Everson
8/25/2009 Potentially Responsible Party/State Interest Letter Updated landowner and other affiliate information and send PRP letter to current landowner. Site has been selected for LUST stimulus funding (see associated LUST database entry). Janice Wiegers
