Problems/Comments

Former Building 3564 was the standby generator plant for Fort Wainwright, Alaska between 1954 and 1999. Arctic diesel fuel for the generators was stored in two 25,000-gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) north of Former Building 3564. The northernmost tank had developed holes about 1-1.5 inches in diameter from which an unknown quantity of arctic diesel fuel leaked to the groundwater. In 1994, the USTs were removed. A release investigation in 1994 found diesel range organics (DRO), gasoline range organics (GRO) and benzene in the groundwater above ADEC cleanup levels. An air sparge (AS) / soil-vapor extraction (SVE) system operated from 1996 to 1998. DRO and residual range organics (RRO) remain in the groundwater table above ADEC cleanup levels. Due to the proximity to the Post drinking water well, monitoring wells at this site are sampled annually. The corresponding Army HQAES site number is: 02871.1076.

1/13/2016 Meeting or Teleconference Held A Restoration Project Managers (RPM) meeting was held in Anchorage Alaska. The upcoming 2016 site restoration work and monitoring was discussed. Fort Wainwright institutional control policies and procedures were also discussed. Dennis Shepard
12/13/2016 Meeting or Teleconference Held A two day Federal Facilities Agreement (FFA) and Stakeholders meeting was held on December 13 & 14, 2016. The main focus of the meeting was to develop a site discovery and site intake process that would satisfy requirements of the Fort Wainwright FFA, RCRA Permit, and two party agreements. The Army, EPA and DEC committed to a flowchart of the preliminary source evaluation process. Timelines were established for scoping a land use control implementation plan (LUCIP) and developing a contracting schedule for Fort Wainwright contaminated site investigations and remedial actions. Seven sites were proposed for inclusion into the FFA (three party agreement) by the Army and the RPMs documented the assignment of the regulatory path for these sites using a newly developed and agreed to signature form. Dennis Shepard
1/1/2017 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC approved the 2015 Annual Institutional Controls Report, Fort Wainwright, Alaska (August 2016). Dennis Shepard
7/13/2017 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC approved the 2016 Sampling Report Two-Party Site Former Building 3564, Fort Wainwright, Alaska. Five of seven monitoring wells sampled contained DRO above the ADEC cleanup level during the sampling event. Three wells exceeded ADEC cleanup levels for RRO. However, based on a plume stability evaluation using MAROS software, the Army demonstrated that the mass of the DRO plume has not migrated significantly from the source area. Dennis Shepard
11/16/2017 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC approved the Final 2016 Sampling Report Two-Party Site Former Building 3564, Hazard ID 25015, ADEC File ID 108.26.028, dated July 2017. Diesel range organics (DRO) and residual range organics (RRO) remain above cleanup levels, groundwater monitoring is ongoing at this site. Erica Blake
5/3/2018 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC approved the 2017 Sampling Report, Two-Party Site, Former Building 3564 (dated April 2018). The document describes 2017 groundwater monitoring activities at the Former Building 3564 site on Fort Wainwright, Alaska. Seven monitoring wells were sampled for diesel range organics (DRO), residual range organics (RRO), iron, manganese and sulfate. DRO and RRO remain above the DEC cleanup levels in five of the seven monitoring wells. Monitored natural attenuation (MNA) parameters indicate biodegradation is occurring at this site. In addition to the 2017 groundwater monitoring at the Former Building 3564 site, an institutional control (IC) inspection was completed. All monitoring wells inspected were found to be in satisfactory condition. Annual groundwater monitoring and IC inspections are recommended to continue in 2018. Erica Blake
2/12/2019 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC approved the 2018 groundwater monitoring activities and an institutional control (IC) inspection at the Former Building 3564 site on Fort Wainwright, Alaska. The following contaminants of concern (COCs) were detected above DEC cleanup levels; diesel range organics (DRO) at six out of nine wells and residual range organics (RRO) at one well. It is stated that DRO concentrations in most wells increased from 2017 to 2018 due to elevated groundwater levels, although over the long term most wells show “no trend” or “stable” concentrations. The overall trend for the DRO contaminant mass has been “increasing” since 2014. Monitored natural attenuation (MNA) parameters indicate biodegradation is occurring at this site. No compliance issues were noted during the IC inspection, although it was recommended that the damaged well AP-7187 be converted to a flush mount so that it will not be damaged further by vehicles. DEC concurs with this recommendation. The wells are recommended to be sampled once during the fall of 2019. Kevin Fraley

Tim Sharp
10/30/2023 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Bulk action entry for Fort Wainwright Two-Party monitoring sites - on this date, DEC received and approved the final 2022 Two-Party Sites Annual Monitoring Report. Following the recommendations from the 2021 report, sampling and analysis of gasoline range organics (GRO) was discontinued at the Former Building 3564 site in 2023. However, after review of the 2022 results, GRO should continue to be analyzed further and will be included in the 2024 sampling program. Plume stability analysis for Former Building 3654 indicate increasing trends of contaminant mass. The Army will evaluate the 2023 monitoring data as well as the historical investigation and remedial activities at the site to determine if a soil removal action should be considered in the future to reduce the contaminant mass migrating to the groundwater. A minimum of five temporary well points and two additional wells be installed at the Former Building 2250 site to further delineate the extent of the groundwater contamination. Additionally, DEC is anticipating the 2022 IDW technical memorandum with DRMO Yard Building 5010 purge water PFAS results in fall of 2023. Cascade Galasso-Irish
2/15/2024 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC submitted comments on the Draft 2024 Two-Party Work Plan which details proposed site activities, data review, and reporting tasks for work to be conducted at Two-Party sites on Fort Wainwright, Alaska (FWA).
