Problems/Comments
Inside Building 601 was a concrete sump with a concrete floor. The sump was plumbed to discharge to the subsurface outside the foundation of the building. A sample collected in 1992 and documented in the Environmental Compliance and Investigation Report, dated 1992, showed elevated levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons, benzene, toluene, xylenes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In the Site Cleanup and Investigation Report, dated 1996, field activities are described concerning the sump including the removal of an unspecified volume of soil and the filling of the sump with concrete. Samples for volatile organic compounds and semi-volatile organic compounds were collected prior to filling with concrete and no elevated level of any analyte was detected. It is unknown if there are elevated concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons or metals in the soil below the sump, however the sump has been filled with concrete and the area around it is a concrete pad covered with a building which will prevent the infiltration of water from the surface and the migration of contamination. Samples were collected at the outfall and no elevated levels were detected. As the contamination is not currently accessible to any potential receptors, the department determines that no further remedial action is planned for the Building 601 Sump. If, in the future, the concrete floor is removed and the soil below and around the sump is accessible, the area should be characterized and any contamination managed in accordance with department regulations and guidance, as required by 18 AAC 75.325(i).

USTs are located at the NE and SE corners of the building. Building 601 Assessment (General)). Contaminated floor drain and drum storage area. | Don Gibler |
| 7/15/1992 | Preliminary Assessment Approved | Incinerator at Building 300. Phase I Site Assessment (General)). Soil samples collected next to incinerator concrete pad show dioxin and congeners, elevated levels of copper, lead and zinc. | Don Gibler |
| 10/9/1992 | Interim Removal Action Approved | (Old R:Base Action Code = SA1R - Phase I SA Review (CS/LUST)). Building 300 Interim action required of putting removable cap on floor drain. The use of this drum storage area has been discontinued. Asked that R.I. and C.A.P. be prepared ASAP. Building 601Interim action required - discontinue use of floor drain, cap with removable seal, place drums on impermeable liner, place leaking drums in overdrums and dispose of at H.W. facility, follow 18.AAC 68. Do R.I. and prepare C.A.P. ASAP. Building 300 incinerator. Interim Corrective action required: 1) curtail emissions or discontinue use of incinerator. Release investigation and Corrective action required ASAP. | Don Gibler |

| 6/29/1994 | Update or Other Action | (Old R:Base Action Code = RPL2 - Site Information Request Letter). Sent PRP-CS Database Notification Letter to RP requesting update and more environmental information concerning contaminated site. RP/Jackie for FAA Anchorage office responded to let me know she will be sending information on the facilities soon. Received information on 8-8-94. | Jeff Peterson |
| 11/27/1995 | Update or Other Action | Summary of meeting on 11/8/1995 and proposed corrective action approaches at three sites: Installation of bioremediation systems at FAA Fort Yukon Building 100 and the FAA Fort Yukon Health Clinic Building and landspreading of contaminated soils at FAA Fort Yukon RCAG Facility. | Kent Patrick-Riley |
| 11/21/2005 | Update or Other Action | Inside Building 601 was a concrete sump with a concrete floor. The sump was plumbed to discharge to the subsurface outside the foundation of the building. In the Site Cleanup and Investigation Report, dated 1996, field activities are described concerning the sump including the removal of an unspecified volume of soil and the filling of the sump with concrete. Samples for VOCs and SVOCs were collected prior to filling with concrete and no elevated level of any analyte was detected. It is unknown if there are elevated concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons or metals in the soil below the sump. As the contamination is not currently accessible to any potential receptors, ADEC determines that no further action is planned for the Building 601 Sump. ADEC letter sent November 21, 2005. | Anne Marie Palmieri |

| 4/26/2016 | Update or Other Action | Site transferred to project manager for follow up with FAA. | Fred Vreeman |
| 6/15/2017 | Update or Other Action | DEC sent FAA a memorandum regarding contamination at the Fort Yukon FAA Sites including Quarters Facility Buildings 100, 101, 102, 300, and 601, and associated USTs, Incineration Areas and interior sumps (Hazard IDs 25397,25393,25395, and 25396) to assist FAA with compliance with State of Alaska Contaminated Sites Cleanup Regulations. DEC-required actions for cleanup complete determinations for each AOC were spelled out in detail. | John O'Brien |
