7/28/2005 Site Characterization Report Approved Contaminated Sites (CS) staff reviewed and provided comments to the Federal Aviation Administration's Site Investigation and Remedial Evaluation Report at the McGrath Airport. Numerous areas contaminated with petroleum were addressed during this investigation. Several air sparge/soil vapor extraction systems have been operating but recovery of fuel has diminished because volatile fuel components have been mostly removed; these systems will be shut down and decommissioned. Other areas still have residual diesel contamination but, in general, concentrations of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes are below cleanup levels in soil and groundwater. Contamination that has migrated off-site will be excavated and managed as part of remedial efforts at the former tank farm area. CS staff recommended that all soil with contamination above the maximum allowable concentration be excavated and that a treatment strategy be developed. A resident of McGrath contacted the Department regarding off-site contamination.The individual was provided with a copy of the report and the comment letter. Sharon Richmond
