Problems/Comments

Old power plant that is no longer used. Contamination is due to power generating activities and handling of petroleum products. Petroleum hydrocarbons are migrating by surface water pathways and being discharged into Womens Bay via the storm sewer system that drains the old power plant area. Adjacent to and downhill from Site 17. 5th Street also known as Cape Spence Street. Last staff assigned was Patrick-Riley.

3/16/2006	Update or Other Action	Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a Supplemental Corrective Measures Study, PCB removal Report and a Groundwater Monitoring Report for Site 23 on the Coast Guard Base in Kodiak. Site 23 was the power plant for the base from 1940’s to 1978. A PCB cleanup on the west side of the building has removed about 400-tons of soil over action levels. Low level PCBs have been detected in surface soils and sediment downgradient of the former power plant. Aroclor 1260 has been detected in groundwater in five monitoring wells below cleanup levels.

ADEC received and reviewed the June 2009 Quarterly Groundwater Sampling and Analysis Report. Groundwater from eight monitoring wells were sampled as part of the semiannual monitoring effort as required under the USCG-Kodiak EPA RCRA permit. Two monitoring wells exibited total PCB concentrations above the marine surface water screening level, but below the ADEC groundwater cleanup level. Three PAH compounds - benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene were detected above the respective ADEC groundwater cleanup levels in June 2009.
