8/16/1996 Site Ranked Using the AHRM Ranked by Shannon and Wilson. Insufficient data to generate a AHRM score. NOTES: Communication with the BLM to obtain results of the confirmation analyses is required. Also, more accurate information needs to be obtained regarding the distance of the site from Tanana, as well as GW and SW Usage and Exposure. It should be noted that although avgas was reportedly released, analytical testing performed only for DRO. The analytical testing may not have been adequate for characterization of the release. S&W
