Problems/Comments
The site is situated nearly 1.5 miles east of the Nome Kougarok Highway, approximately 35 miles northeast of Nome, and consists of about 1/2 acre of land that has been used as a parking/staging area for vehicles and mining equipment. Numerous small surface stains were obsrved along with one larger release caused by spills during fuel transfers, or leaks from a fuel staging area. BLM performed site cleanup activities in 2006, removing abandoned vehicles, drums, and debris, and excavating stained soil. Small volumes of diesel contamination remained at 2 feet below ground surface (bgs) beneath a former pickup, and 12 feet bgs beneath the former fuel staging area. The remaining DRO contamination is below 1,000 mg/kg, and has been capped with clean gravel.

| 7/10/2008 | Site Added to Database | Site added to the database. | Mitzi Read |
| 7/11/2008 | Exposure Tracking Model Ranking | Initial ranking with ETM completed. The site ranking results indicate that potential exposure to surface and subsurface soil is deminimis, and there is a low potential exposure for ecological receptors. The potential exposure for ecological recepotors is also likely to be diminimis due to the small volume of contamination, low concentrations, and the cap of clean gravel. | Kim DeRuyter |
