Problems/Comments

Groundwater Zone 3 (OT29). Estimated 500,000 barrels (with unknown contents) and other solid waste disposal site from the 1940s to mid-1960s. Private housing was built on the area, until the Air Force bought the property and moved the housing to another location. From 1996 through 1998, limited removal actions, re-contouring, and capping activities were conducted at North and South Barrel Bluff sites. In 1998, a groundwater treatment system was installed at South Barrel Bluff (LF05) to remediate an A-Aquifer seep encountered during re-contouring and capping activities. Monthly monitoring of the influent and effluent is performed. An Operation, Monitoring, and Maintenance manual has been developed for both bluff sites. A three party agreement was reached between EPA, ADEC, and the Air Force for the bluff sites and signed by the agencies in 1996. An interim action record of decision was signed in 1996, and a final record of decision was signed in 2000. The Final Record of Decision states that based on current site conditions and the successful implementation of interim remedial actions, USAF, ADEC, and USEPA have selected a plan of institutional controls (site-access and land-use restrictions), bluff inspection and maintenance, continued operation of the water-treatment system, and continued monitoring, with no further remedial action planned, as the final action for the North and South Bluff.

6/30/1989 Update or Other Action (Old R:Base Action Code = RAPR - Remedial Action Plan Review (CS)). CH2M Hill QA/QC plan for various King Salmon Airport sites; the sites include the Eskimo Creek oil seep, North Barrel Dump, Naknek River seep, and the South Barrel Dump. A total of 17 sites were addressed by this QA/QC plan. Former Staff
8/29/1989 Update or Other Action (Old R:Base Action Code = SI - Site Investigation). CH2M Hill site investigation. The airport was originally constructed in the early 1940s to support the war effort. The airport was turned over to the State of Alaska in 1959. The State continues to operate the site with the Air Force as the major tenant. A White Alice site was activated in 1957. It was deactivated in 1979 and replaced with an Alascom Satellite earth terminal. Only a small portion of the site is owned by the State. The majority is on military land. In 1980, 340 military personnel resided at King Salmon Airport. The north and south barrel dump site, Eskimon Creek Seep and Naknek River seep sites were tested for over 146 constituents of concern. Of these, 39 potential contaminants of concern were identified. High concentrations of TPH were identified in shallow wells and soils at this site. Floating product (>1 foot) was identified at the Eskimo Creek Seepage Site. Lead and petroleum hydrocarbon contamination levels at this site pose a threat to fish and wildlife (page 126). No immediate environmental threat was identified at the Naknek River Seep (page 126). Both the north and south dump sites could pose a threat to fauna since the detection limits used in analyses were greater than the chronic aquatic organism toxicity. Remediation, based on stage 2 sampling, at both barrel dump sites could include: no action; restricting site access; preventing the migration of contaminants. Containment preferred remediation route. The Naknek River and Eskimo Creek seeps will receive further sampling to identify a specific remediation response. In general, based on further sampling results, the alternatives are: no action, which will not occur based on preliminary site investigation; recovery of floating product; treatment of shallow groundwater; excavation of contaminated soils; restrict site access; containment.

10/3/2018 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other ADEC approved the Final 2017 Long Term Management Report for the King Salmon Divert on this date. Zone 1 recommendations include continuation of monitoring with no changes. Petroleum hydrocarbons and TCE were detected above cleanup levels in groundwater in Zone 2; recommendations include continued monitoring and updating cleanup levels in next 5 Year Review. In Zone 3, low levels of TCE and benzene were detected in the March 2018 SBTS sample, and gabions in King Salmon Creek are being pulled out of alignment; recommendations include reducing sampling at the North and South Bluffs to once every five years. In Zone 4, petroleum hydrocarbons were detected above cleanup levels in the A-aquifer but below cleanup levels in the B-aquifer; recommended that monitoring should continue due to drinking water wells and other sensitive receptors lying downgradient of this site. Monitoring will continue in Zone 5 without changes. Inspections of the Rapids Camp and Landfill were conducted in Zone 6; there were no observations of noncompliance at the landfill. Two of eight wells in Zone 7 exceeded RAO for DRO; 2015 soil samples from three LF01 locations indicated DRO contaminated soil above cleanup levels - this should be excavated and treated.

Type Details
Land Use Plan / Maps / Base Master Plan The USAF will modify the General Plan, 611th Air Support Group (ASG), Remote Alaska (hereafter referred to as the General Plan) and appropriate land records (i.e., deeds) to include approved institutional controls, which restrict future installation of drinking-water wells and soil excavation at both sites. Land-use restrictions and land surveys will be included in the General Plan, which is scheduled for completion by October 2000.

Description Details
Groundwater Monitoring Residential wells near the bluffs have been sampled for potential contaminants several times since 1994. No contaminants have been detected; consequently, residential wells will no longer be sampled. Instead a more comprehensive system of sentry wells has been installed and will be sampled as delineated in the revised monitoring plan (Bristol/OASIS, 1999a). Groundwater and surface-water monitoring at the bluffs will continue on an annual basis following procedures outlined in the revised monitoring plan (Bristol/OASIS, 1999a).
