In SFY 2014, the Cook Inlet Housing Authority was awarded DBAC services to assess the Spenard neighborhood in the vicinity of 36th and Spenard. It included an area bounded by Minnesota to the west, Benson to the North, Arctic to the east and Tudor to the south. The report indicated several concerns including underground storage tanks (USTs), aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), buildings with asbestos containing material, several DEC listed contaminated sites, and previous land uses associated with contamination such as dry cleaning facilities, gas stations, maintenance shops, and vehicle storage and salvage yards.
