Record of Decision |
ADEC staff (J. Halverson) signed the Non-CERCLA Decision Document for the West End Oil/Water Separator Ponds (SS007) and Underground Storage Tanks at Building 110 (ST039) at Eareckson Air Station. The signing of this Decision Document was delayed because of disagreements over monitoring only surface water and sediment at the SS007 site, which is an engineered wetland designed to slow the flow and capture contaminants before the surface water discharges into the marine environment. The State wanted to ensure that the groundwater and soils in the area were adequately characterized before a decision could be agreed upon. The USAF and ADEC concurred that the groundwater and subsurface soil impacts in the area would be characterized in the ongoing RI work at ST046, a former large tank farm just upgradient of the engineered wetland.
The signature page was modified with the following language, “ST046 is upgradient from SS007 and is suspected to be a source for contamination w/in SS007. Due to uncertainty on groundwater/surfacewater interaction, the sources of petroleum contamination w/in SS007, the extent of soil contamination , and the fact that this Decision Document is focused on impacts to surface water /sediment, ADEC reserves the right to request additional characterization or cleanup in the future, if these issues are not adequately addressed in the ST046 ROD/Decision Document.”
The original signature page was mailed to the 611th CES and a copy was inserted to the State’s copy for our records. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
The ADEC Contaminated Sites Program submitted comments on the Draft Remedial Process Optimization Report for Eareckson Air Station. The purpose of the report was to present an evaluation of the effectiveness of the current selected site remedies and make recommendations for optimization of an island-wide monitoring and management program for contaminated sites at Eareckson. ADEC had numerous comments on the document, and requested a project team meeting to further discuss a more effective and efficient program at Eareckson. |

Institutional Control Compliance Review |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) Contaminated Sites Program received a copy of the Final Long Term Monitoring and Institutional Controls Inspection Report for Eareckson Air Station. The report is accepted as final documentation of the field activities. The report is approved with the conditions noted in the ADEC’s comments 1/8/19 letter.
The field efforts completed are not considered sufficient to meet the overall long term monitoring requirements outlined in the site records of decision and regulations for closure end point criteria. ADEC is working with the USAF to develop a more efficient island-wide long term monitoring strategy for Eareckson Air Station. |

The purpose of this project is to continue environmental long-term management at multiple sites at Eareckson AS, Alaska. The objectives of this project were to conduct groundwater sampling at eight sites, surface water sampling at four sites, sediment sampling at three sites, conduct IC inspections at 19 sites, and conduct an assessment of necessary repairs at LF026. The assessment of LF026 is documented in a separate technical memorandum; this LTM report presents the findings of the IC inspections and the results of groundwater, surface water, and sediment sampling. |

On 4/27/2022 ADEC approved the Eareckson Air Station, Alaska, REMEDIAL PROCESS OPTIMIZATION REPORT dated April 2022.
This Remedial Process Optimization (RPO) Report presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of current selected site remedies and makes recommendations for optimization of the IWM Program, as appropriate to establish a more integrated groundwater monitoring program at Eareckson AS. RPO is a systematic approach for evaluating and improving the effectiveness of site remediation without increasing site risk. This RPO Report presents a site-by-site evaluation of effectiveness of the sites selected remedy and provides recommendations to:
• Streamline groundwater monitoring.
• Develop a holistic approach to site management.
• Maintain the remedial action objectives (RAOs) set forth in established Record of Decisions (RODs) and Decision Documents (DDs).

Forty-two different sites were investigated at the Eareckson Air Station located on Shemya Island, Alaska. Groundwater was sampled at nine sites, surface water was sampled at five sites, and sediment sampling was conducted at two sites. Contaminants above cleanup levels remain present at most sites with stable or non-discernable trends. Most land use controls appear to be in good condition and Monitoring and continued inspections were recommended for all sites. |
