2000 Contaminated Soil Excavation and Groundwater Monitoring Report, PS 1 Former Gasoline Tank Area, Alyeska Spill Number 1992348 submitted to ADEC. Approximately 150 cubic yards of contaminated soil were removed from the excavation down to the suprapermafrost groundwater. An impermeable liner was installed after the excavation was complete, and the AS system was reassembled. Analytical results from groundwater samples indicate that petroleum hydrocarbon impact remains in the area north of the former gasoline ASTs site. DRO concentrations increased in MW-1, MW-2, MW-8, MW-9 and MW-10. GRO and benzene levels also increased in MW-9. MW-10 has increased GRO and BTEX concentrations as well. IT states that some of the increases seen in petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in the immediate area of the AS system is likely due to the excavation activities releasing the contaminants from soil to the groundwater. IT recommends continued operation of the AS system and continued groundwater monitoring in the vicinity of the former gasoline tank area. |

Update or Other Action |
Alyeska submitted a groundwater monitoring report for the former PS1 Gasoline Tank Area. Analytical results from the groundwater samples collected at the site showed that the concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons are relatively stable at most monitoring wells. The most significant exceptions include monitoring wells in the center of the contaminant plume (MW-8, MW-9, and MW-10), which may demonstrate a northeastern migration of the dissolved hydrocarbon plume. No petroleum hydrocarbons were detected in samples collected from the nearest surface water body off of the eastern edge of the tank farm gravel pad.
Also, a small area of isolated DRO contamination east of Tank 117 seems to exist separately from the gasoline contamination resulting from the FGTA.
SLR recommend the continuation of annual groundwater monitoring. |

Update or Other Action |
Alyeska submitted report entitled 2003 Former Gasoline Tank Area Ground Water Monitoring Report, PS 1. Ground water samples collected from the PS 1 FGTA show that concentrations of dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons remain above ADEC ground water cleanup levels. Within the source area there were benzene levels up to 10.3 ppm and downgradient benzene up to 9.12 ppm. Samples collected in 2003 support previous observations of northeasterly migration of the petroleum contamination, notable in monitoring wells MW-8, MW-9, MW-15, and MW-19. Monitoring well MW-10, closest to the source, shows an overall reduction since 1994 in dissolved hydrocarbons, while monitoring wells MW-8, MW-9 and MW-15, downgradient from the source, exhibit overall increases.
The area of ground water impacted above ADEC cleanup levels appears to have increased since the 2002 sampling. However, based on ground water samples collected from the edge of the pad and from surface water proximal to the PS1 pad, it is apparent that impacted groundwater is not currently migrating off pad.
SLR recommends the continuation of the annual ground water and surface water sampling program in 2004, as well as the continued operation of the AS system. |

Update or Other Action |
ADEC reviewed SLR's PS 1 Former Gasoline Tank Area 2004 Groundwater Monitoring and Remediation Report. Samples collected in 2004 support previous observations of a northeasterly migration of the petroleum contamination. Monitoring well MW-10, which is located closest to the source, shows an overall reduction in dissolved hydrocarbons since 1994. Downgradient monitoring wells MW-8 and MW-15 indicate consistently increased concentrations of dissolved hydrocarbons. In addition, the lateral extent of groundwater with concentrations exceeding ADEC cleanup levels has increased slightly during the last two years. Analytical results from groundwater and surface water samples collected adjacent to the pad, were non-detect. Therefore, there does not appear to be migration from the pad to the surface water. |

Update or Other Action |
ADEC received PS 1 Former Gas Tank Area 2005 Groundwater Monitoring and Remediation Report. GW analytical results collected from monitoring wells in 2005 show that concentrations of dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons remain above ADEC groundwater cleanup levels. MW-10, which is located closest to the source, shows an overall reduction in dissolved hydrocarbons since 1994. However, downgradient MW-8 demonstrates consistently increased concentrations of dissolved hydrocarbons. From the data, it is apparent that impacted ground water currently is not migrating off-pad.
SLR recommends the continuation of the annual groundwater and surface water sampling program in 2006, as well as the continued operation of the AS system. |

ADEC received the SLR report on the 2006 Groundwater Monitoring and Remediation for the PS 1 Former Gas Tank site. According to the report, there still appears to be a northeasterly migration of petroleum contamination. MW-10 which is located closest to the source shows an overall reduction in dissolved hydrocarbons since 1994. However, downgradient MW-8 demonstrates consistently increased concentrations of dissolved hydrocarbons. |

Receipt of Pump Station 1 Former Gasoline Tank Area 2007 Ground Water and Remediation Report. Nine groundwater wells and two surface water locations were sampled. Overall results appear to be fairly consistent with past years data, including no BTEX or PAH in surface water. Since its installation, MW-15 has exhibited particularily high DRO concentrations which is thought to be due to therminol contamination from a leaking pipe at Tank 117. DO results suggest that biodegradation may be occuring. Air sparging (AS) unit was not operated due to interference that was created by recent sludge treatment activities. SLR recommends continued monitoring with MNA parameters in groundwater and continued operation of AS or more excavation. Report review including laboratory QA/QC conducted 3/26/08. |

Receipt of Pump Station 1 Former Gasoline Tank Area 2008 Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation Report by SLR. In 2008, soil was excavated (~150 cubic yards) from the original source area of the gasoline contamination. Contaminated soil above the suprapermafrost grond water table was removed but some contaminated soil remains beneath this depth. Eight excavation confirmation samples were collected from 2.5 - 4 ft bgs and all exceeded most conservative criteria (0.025 mg/kg) benzene. Two samples collected from 3.5 and 4 ft bgs also exceeded criteria for ethylbenzene, xylenes, and toluene. Samples were also analyzed for GRO, DRO, RRO, and PAHs. Groundwater, including natural attenuation parameters, and surface water monitoring. Impacted groundwater is not migrating off-pad. Results in MW-15 much reduced from historic data (2 orders of magnitude reduction). Monitoring to continue in 2009.
The air sparging system was decommissioned during excavation of soil from within its footprint. Alyeska intends to install an AST in this vicinity in 2009.
Review included laboratory review checklist.
GRO/BTEX results for SS-2 should be considered rejected and usable as a screening value due to too much uncertainty in data quality. Methanol appeared to have leaked in transit and lab added another aliquot of MeOH (extract already extracted soil). Furthermore, the field surrogate recovery was outside of acceptance criteria (biased high).
GRO/BTEX results for SS-3 should be considered estimated with a high bias due to surrogate recovery more than 2 times the upper limit of acceptance criteria and no dilution performed.
DRO/RRO/PAH results for SS-2 should be considered estimated as prep and analysis were performed on container that was broken and 50 percent "salvageable" upon receipt. |

Approval of 2009 Pump Station 1 Former Gasoline Tank Area Water Monitoring Work Plan. When the PS01 gravel pad has thawed, a groundwater and surface water event will be conducted, likely August or September. Thirteen groundwater locations and 2 surface water locations will be sampled. Groundwater sampling to include DO, ferric/ferrous iron, nitrite/nitrate, and sulfate/sulfide as it has in the past. Contaminant analyses to include BTEX/GRO/DRO/PAH in groundwater and TAH/TAqH in surface water. Two well installations are also planned - one to replace MW-10 which was destroyed and an additional well to be installed NE of MW-10. DEC comment on workplan regarding collection of MNA parameters and the importance of understanding the limitations and interferences of measurements made using techniques that expose the water to ambient air or ORP measurements are not stabilized. |

Date of receipt of 2011 Water Monitoring Report. Only nine of 17 wells were sampled due to insufficient water (7) or well damage (1). Exceedances for GRO, DRO, benzene, and/or toluene were found in samples collected from five of the nine wells. High DRO concentrations suggest product present which should be measured in the future. Two surface water samples collected showed concentrations below applicable criteria. TAH and TAqH are still not calculated correctly but would not have exceeded regardless. MNA parameters also collected at the nine wells sampled. Ferric iron, alkalinity, and nitrite were performed using field test kits. Evaluation of quality of MNA data also made difficult because calibration information, etc. for field measured parameters not included with report. Total iron, sulfate, sulfide, and total nitrate plus nitrite were performed by the laboratory. SLR plans to resurvey the wells due to frost jacking issues. |

DEC finalized review comments after discussing site issues with the RP's representative and consultant. Ongoing monitoring of natural attenuation has occurred over the past five or so years with changes in amendments through time to overcome site challenges. Continued monitoring of supra-permafrost groundwater in available wells and surface water samples from the adjacent ponds have provided evidence of slow attenuation and little movement of amendments or contaminants to surface waters. |

DEC has reviewed and approved the Pump Station 1 Former Gasoline Tank Area 2022 Water Monitoring Report submitted January 25, 2023, and Pump Station 1 Former Gasoline Tank Area Sampling and Remediation Work Plan Addendum submitted July 12, 2023. The addendum is in addition to the previously reviewed and approved multi-year work plan titled Water Monitoring Work Plan Pump Station 1 Former Gasoline Tank Area. Monitoring in 2022 showed that the contamination in supra-permafrost groundwater continues to retract and move slightly to the southwest. The gene census results indicate the microbial community with the addition of nitrate and sulfate continue to reduce petroleum hydrocarbon impacts in the groundwater. The 2023 efforts will include monitoring of supra-permafrost groundwater, monitoring of microbial populations and levels of nitrate and sulfate available for microbially-mediated reduction of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination. |
