Problems/Comments

In 1994 four underground storage tanks (USTs) were removed from the Ride N Shine facility. Tanks removed included 10,000-gallon gasoline tanks #1 and #2, 5,000-gallon gasoline tank #3, and 1,000-gallon used oil tank #4. Approximately 150 cubic yards of soil were excavated, sampled, and then used as backfill during installation of two new USTs (#5 & #6). In 2004, following cleanup activities, a cleanup complete with institutional controls determination was made. F.K.A L55.190

8/10/2004 Conditional Closure Approved Record of Decision submitted to Mike Gerik which outlines the Departments decision to grant a NFRAP contingent on the implementation of institutional controls and the signing of a notice of contamination which is due on October 8, 2004. Todd Blessing
8/10/2004 Institutional Control Record Established Institutional controls established are as follows: 1. Any proposal to transport soil and/or groundwater off site requires ADEC approval in accordance with 18 AAC 75.325(i) 2. A groundwater monitor plan will be required that provides periodic monitoring to ensure contamination is declining and not migrating beyond the Ride n Shine and Holiday Station #5001 properties 3. An institutional control will be required that identifies the nature and extent of the contamination remaining on the site. It will also notify future owners/operators of the property of the environmental status of the site and any conditions that apply to future management of the contamination 4. The attached Notice of Environmental Contamination will need to be recorded (in the State of Alaska’s Recorders Office) as an institution control measure in accordance to 18 AAC 75.375(b)(3). In addition, a statement will be included in the DEC database regarding the environmental status of the site. Todd Blessing
10/29/2004 Long Term Monitoring Established Approved of Restoration Science and Engineering's Long Term Groundwater Monitoring Plan to collect groundwater samples from MW-5 every two years. Collected groundwater samples will be analyzed for volatile organic compounds. Todd Blessing
