OT033 Groundwater Zone 7 has petroleum contaminated soil and groundwater; remediation and further investigation of the groundwater plume and the wetland adjacent to a drum disposal/landfill are planned. The contents of the drums are unknown. The groundwater zones were established in areas with similar hydrological, geological, geographical, and contamination characteristics, and contain numerous Installation Restoration Program (IRP) sites within each zone. The IRP sites within Zone 7 include: DP003 Former Lodge Disposal Area; LF001 Landfill; SS005 Generator Pad; SS004 Vehicle Maintenance Area; and SS006 Wetland. A Proposed Plan was completed in 1999; a Record of Decision is planned for 2003.

2/17/2017	Update or Other Action	Draft RA Operations & LTM GW report received for review and comment. Monitoring wells GP01 and MW22 exceeded the RAO of 1.5 mg/L for DRO at 4.1 mg/L and 2.2 mg/L, respectively. These results are increases over last year’s results. Landfarm O & M: ponds. One of the last ponds sampled, Pond 6, has PFOA/PFOS above ADEC criteria. The water from this pond will be retreated and retested next year until it meets discharge criteria. The landfarm was divided into 6 decision units and multi-increment sampled at the beginning of September. Decision units 1, 2, 3, and 4 were above the ADEC cleanup level of 250 mg/kg for DRO (770 – 1,200 mg/kg). Decision units 3, 5, and 6 were above the ADEC proposed cleanup level for PFOA and PFOS. Overall, the results for DRO, PFOA, and PFOS have decreased since the 2015 MI sampling [the decrease in PFOS and PFOA are more than like due to dilution rather than any biodegradation or treatment]. Biocell Sampling: Water samples were collected from the north and south biocells in early October, and analyzed for PFOA/PFOS. Both sample results were well above the ADEC proposed cleanup level of 0.4 µg/L. The results from the north biocell were 120/22 µg/L, respectively, and the results from the south biocell were 36/100 µg/L, respectively. The north and south biocells were MI sampled in August. DRO results for the north biocell ranged from 2,100 - 2,700 mg/kg. The ADEC cleanup level for DRO is 250 mg/kg. PFOA and PFOS were also detected at 52-210 µg/kg and 140-240 µg/kg respectively. The ADEC proposed cleanup levels are 3.0 µg/kg and 1.7 µg/kg. DRO results for the south biocell were 1,200 mg/kg. The results for PFOA were 740-1,300 µg/kg and 880-1,400 µg/kg for PFOS. 16KSLF11: Benzo(a)pyrene Decision Unit 1 Primary had exceeded the 200 ug/kg Human health cleanup level at 210 ug/kg. Biocell MI results Biocell N DU2 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene exceeded the 160 ug/kg MTGW cleanup level at 290 ug/kg and S DU1 at 220 ug/kg. See site file for additional information.	Louis Howard

10/3/2018	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	ADEC approved the Final 2017 Long Term Management Report for the King Salmon Divert on this date. Zone 1 recommendations include continuation of monitoring with no changes. Petroleum hydrocarbons and TCE were detected above cleanup levels in groundwater in Zone 2; recommendations include continued monitoring and updating cleanup levels in next 5 Year Review. In Zone 3, low levels of TCE and benzene were detected in the March 2018 SBTS sample, and gabions in King Salmon Creek are being pulled out of alignment; recommendations include reducing sampling at the North and South Bluffs to once every five years. In Zone 4, petroleum hydrocarbons were detected above cleanup levels in the A-aquifer but below cleanup levels in the B-aquifer; recommended that monitoring should continue due to drinking water wells and other sensitive receptors lying downgradient of this site. Monitoring will continue in Zone 5 without changes. Inspections of the Rapids Camp and Landfill were conducted in Zone 6; there were no observations of noncompliance at the landfill.

8/17/2022	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	ADEC submitted responses to comments received on August 15th 2022 regarding the Draft Monitoring Well Installation, Repair, and Decommissioning Report, King Salmon Divert, Alaska Dated May 2022. Approximately 6 cubic yards of soil cutting material was generated from the monitoring well activities. The approved work plan discussed the soil cutting material getting sampled and characterized prior to disposal, however this report noted historical results were used for characterizing the soil cutting material. Using historical results for characterizing investigative-derived waste is not appropriate, especially when the historical results are for petroleum only and the potentially contaminated media could have impacts from other analytes (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances and pesticides for example). While the Transport, Treatment, & Disposal Approval forms were submitted retroactively, it is the department’s expectation that these forms be submitted to ADEC for approval prior to the transport and disposal of contaminated media. Per 18 AAC 75.370(b) “A responsible person, owner, or operator shall obtain approval before moving or disposing of soil subject to the site cleanup rules.” ADEC approval was not obtained prior to transporting the soil cutting material offsite.

The report describes the land use control inspections, field data, and analytical results from groundwater and surface water sampling conducted during the 2021 field season for Groundwater Zones 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Naknek Rec Camp I, and Naknek Rec Camp II in King Salmon, Alaska. Continued groundwater and surface water sampling and land use control (LUC) inspections were recommended for all sites. The groundwater investigation at the SA039-DR16 source area, located northwest of Groundwater Zone 2, found no groundwater exceedances of 18 AAC 75.345 Table C groundwater cleanup levels for diesel range organics, residual range organics, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and site closure was recommended for the site. ADEC is tracking SA039-DR16 as a source area part of the King Salmon AS GWZ 2 SA039 (ADEC File No. 2569.38.016.10). Based on the available information, SA039-DR16 does not need further investigation at this time, and ADEC will consider the source area cleaned up. However the King Salmon AS GWZ 2 SA039 site will remain active on the database until all other source areas within SA039 are ready for closure. The report included a 2022 work plan addendum for the upcoming field investigation, monitoring and reporting activities to be conducted during the 2022 remedial action operations and LUC inspections. The work plan addendum addressed the field sampling programs, analytical programs, and land use control inspections planned for each site in King Salmon, Alaska.

Update or Other Action

Draft RA Operations & LTM GW report received for review and comment. Monitoring wells GP01 and MW22 exceeded the RAO of 1.5 mg/L for DRO at 4.1 mg/L and 2.2 mg/L, respectively. These results are increases over last year’s results. Landfarm O & M: ponds. One of the last ponds sampled, Pond 6, has PFOA/PFOS above ADEC criteria. The water from this pond will be retreated and retested next year until it meets discharge criteria. The landfarm was divided into 6 decision units and multi-increment sampled at the beginning of September. Decision units 1, 2, 3, and 4 were above the ADEC cleanup level of 250 mg/kg for DRO (770 – 1,200 mg/kg). Decision units 3, 5, and 6 were above the ADEC proposed cleanup level for PFOA and PFOS. Overall, the results for DRO, PFOA, and PFOS have decreased since the 2015 MI sampling [the decrease in PFOS and PFOA are more than like due to dilution rather than any biodegradation or treatment]. Biocell Sampling: Water samples were collected from the north and south biocells in early October, and analyzed for PFOA/PFOS. Both sample results were well above the ADEC proposed cleanup level of 0.4 µg/L. The results from the north biocell were 120/22 µg/L, respectively, and the results from the south biocell were 36/100 µg/L, respectively. The north and south biocells were MI sampled in August. DRO results for the north biocell ranged from 2,100 - 2,700 mg/kg. The ADEC cleanup level for DRO is 250 mg/kg. PFOA and PFOS were also detected at 52-210 µg/kg and 140-240 µg/kg respectively. The ADEC proposed cleanup levels are 3.0 µg/kg and 1.7 µg/kg. DRO results for the south biocell were 1,200 mg/kg. The results for PFOA were 740-1,300 µg/kg and 880-1,400 µg/kg for PFOS. 16KSLF11: Benzo(a)pyrene Decision Unit 1 Primary had exceeded the 200 ug/kg Human health cleanup level at 210 ug/kg. Biocell MI results Biocell N DU2 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene exceeded the 160 ug/kg MTGW cleanup level at 290 ug/kg and S DU1 at 220 ug/kg. See site file for additional information.

ADEC submitted responses to comments received on August 15th 2022 regarding the Draft Monitoring Well Installation, Repair, and Decommissioning Report, King Salmon Divert, Alaska Dated May 2022. Approximately 6 cubic yards of soil cutting material was generated from the monitoring well activities. The approved work plan discussed the soil cutting material getting sampled and characterized prior to disposal, however this report noted historical results were used for characterizing the soil cutting material. Using historical results for characterizing investigative-derived waste is not appropriate, especially when the historical results are for petroleum only and the potentially contaminated media could have impacts from other analytes (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances and pesticides for example). While the Transport, Treatment, & Disposal Approval forms were submitted retroactively, it is the department’s expectation that these forms be submitted to ADEC for approval prior to the transport and disposal of contaminated media. Per 18 AAC 75.370(b) “A responsible person, owner, or operator shall obtain approval before moving or disposing of soil subject to the site cleanup rules.” ADEC approval was not obtained prior to transporting the soil cutting material offsite.
