Problems/Comments
The relocatable barracks (RBK) area consists of multiple buildings where there have been multiple releases. RBK11 - In June 2010, approximately 200 gallons of propylene glycol were released to the ground from a hydronic heating system due to a failed solder joint on a one-inch line. Approximately 150 gallons flowed beneath the barracks structure and were not recovered. RBK05 - On December 22, 2010, approximately 300 gallons of propylene glycol were released to the soil beneath the elevated structure due to the failure of a circulation pump seal and were not recovered. RHQ08 - On March 28, 2011, approximately 150 gallons of 60/40 water/propylene glycol solution were released and flowed beneath the structure due to the failure of a circulation pump seal. (RHQ = relocatable headquarter building).

| 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 |
| 12/5/2017 | Update or Other Action | Based on a site review completed this day, DEC is changing the site status to non-qualifying. The only known contaminant released was Propylene Glycol, a known food additive. DEC did not receive any soil sampling results from the reported release areas, however, DEC does not have a published cleanup level for Propylene glycol for a comparison value. DEC considered the lowest EPA RSL for propylene glycol (130,000 mg/kg (13% by volume)non-carcinogenic child SL). The Department has determined that the release of propylene glycol at this site would not create a human health risk. | Dennis Shepard |
