Problems/Comments

In October 1993, the Department received a report documenting the removal of two underground storage tanks (USTs) from the Evert's facility located at Block 3, Lot 1, consisting of one 1,000-gallon gasoline tank, and one 500-gallon diesel tank. Diesel petroleum impacts (up to 17,000 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg)) were detected at the limits of the excavation. Approximately 50-cubic yards of soil were removed from the excavation and stockpiled for future treatment. The stockpile was transferred to Everts Storage Yard (file 100.23.087 hazard ID 1644). The consultant recommended additional characterization, to delineate the extent of the soil contamination and evaluate potential groundwater impacts. To that extent, two monitoring wells were installed and sampled once, although a quarterly monitoring program was proposed. Results yielded low concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons below the ADEC maximum contaminant levels. Associated sites include Everts Air Fuel (100.23.087) and FIA Everts Air Fuel, Blk 3, Lot 1 (100.26.141).

Action Information

Action Date Action Description DEC Staff
11/15/1993 Site Added to Database Former Staff
11/15/1993 Underground Storage Tank Site Characterization or Assessment SA1; DUPEE: Site assessment undertaken by RZA AGRA for Evert's Fuel. Six soil samples collected from base of excavation pit at 10 to 12 feet. Petroleum levels were observed at concentrations up to 6,700 mg/kg for DRPH, 17,000 mg/kg for GRPH, and 4 mg/kg for benzene.. A test pit was advance to 17 feet, where contaminants levels appeared to be decreasing. 50 cubic yards of soil stockpiled onsite. Unknown whether groundwater impacted. Former Staff

10/6/1994 Site Visit RECN; Thomas & Jackie D. conducted inspection of tank pull at Block 3, Lot 11 (also see 100.26.141). Two 15,000 gallon tanks out 10/5/94, and one 20,000 gallon tank pending. 20K tank is old RR tanker. Contaminated soils encountered, stockpiled. Former Staff
11/20/1997 Update or Other Action ADEC sends Notification of Intent to Cost Recover Letter to Current Owner: EVERTS AIR FUEL Former Staff
5/9/2000 Update or Other Action ADEC notified through FIA building permit that Everts plans to install two permanent monitoring wells and two soil borings on Block 3, Lot 1. Janice Wiegers
2/7/2006 Update or Other Action Letter sent requesting further site characterization. Kim DeRuyter
2/7/2006 Potentially Responsible Party/State Interest Letter ADEC mailed potentially responsible party(PRP)letter to PRP informing of potential liability and are potentially subject to cost recovery of ADEC expense for response to soil and groundwater contamination at the 5472 Mail Trail site and the Block 3, Lots 1 and 11 Fairbanks International Airport sites. Kim DeRuyter
3/24/2006 Update or Other Action Received reply to information request from Cook, Schuhmann & Groseclose on behalf of Everts. Everts is willing to sample MW's on Block 3 lots 1&11 not on the old crowley property. Attached a copy of the purchase agreement which states that CMS is responsible for further remediation at the site. Kim DeRuyter
9/13/2006 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other July 2006 Groundwater Monitoring Report received. MW-1 was sampled and all analytes were below detection limits. No analytes were detected in MW-1 when it was last sampled in 2000. MW-2 did contain DRO and GRO above the cleanup levels in 2000, but was not viable in 2006. This well should be replaced. Kim DeRuyter
12/14/2006 Update or Other Action Rockwell Engineering called to say they had been contracted by Everts to replace broken monitoring wells at the site next spring, as requested in my letter to the RP. Kim DeRuyter

2/11/2008 Update or Other Action Sent letter to EAF requiring additional work with their planned UST decommissioning activities in summer 2008. EAF needs to replace/repair three MWs, address soil contamination left after tank excavations, and give update on stockpile at mailtrail rd. Former Staff
3/1/2016 Update or Other Action DEC requested soil and groundwater investigation to continue so the degree and extent of contamination can be adequately delineated. In addition, vapor intrusion potential for on-site buildings should also be evaluated. Monitoring wells at the site need to be inspected and either re-developed or properly abandoned. Response to the letter is requested by the RP within 30 days of receipt. Shawn Tisdell
