Date of Van Horn Facility Tank Closure Report. This report discusses removal of the West and East Heating Oil Tanks and soil sampling associated with those excavations as well as a drilling program that included soil sampling and monitoring well installation (and groundwater samples collected). A recovery well (PW-1) was also installed in the center of the West Heating Oil UST excavation. |

Date of Van Horn Facility Groundwater Investigation: Summary of Quarterly Groundwater Sampling Activites conducted during October 1991. MW-1 thru MW-9 and PW-1 were sampled. MW-10 and MW-11 were installed and sampled. Soil samples were also collected from the borings advanced to install these 2 new wells. A water well search was also performed in attemp to locate wells within 1/2 mile radius. No active water supply wells were determined to be at risk. |

Date of Underground Storage Tank Site Assessment and Closure Report received on 3/14/94. This report documents the removal, site assessment, and closure of the Van Horn Facility used oil tank. Approximately 4.5 yds of contaminated soil was removed from the tank area, the source of which appeared to be small surface spills near the stand pipe used to empty the tank. Soil contamination remaining along the south wall of the excavation due to concerns about the structural integrity of the nearby above-ground storage tank containment area. Confirmation samples contained up to 532 mg/kg DRO. These samples were also analyzed for GRO, BTEX, and RRPH (residual range petroleum hydrocarbons. A stockpile sample was also analyzed for metals (TCLP) to determine disposition options. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Date of Final Van Horn Fuel Island Former Dry Well Groundwater Impact report. Three borings were advanced adjacent to a fuel island located next to a bermed, containment area for a gasoline and 2 diesel ASTs. One of these was completed as a monitoring well - MW-13. Another boring was advanced near the abadoned dry well and a monitoring well installed - MW12. Soil samples were analyzed for DRO/GRO/BTEX and concentrations were well below cleanup levels including most conservative of January 2009 Method Two. Groundwater samples collected also did not indicate an impact from these source areas.
This investigation was conducted because of a 35 gallon release of diesel on 2/16/1994 at the fuel island. The dry well had formerly been connected to floor drains in the nearby building. |

Date of Final Corrective Action Report received 9/28/98. This corrective action was performed in August 1997, after an estimated 7 gallongs of diesel fuel was spilled and an excavation with the dimensions of about 16 feet by 17 feet and approximately 9 feet deep had been advanced. A liner was observed at the perimater of the excavation at a depth of about 5 ft bgs. The excavataion was about 9 ft deep and there was about 1 ft of water with a sheen at the bottom of the excavation. Excavation confirmation samples and a groundwater sample collected at nearby, downgradient MW-12 indicated no remaining impacts due to this fuel island spill. |

Date of Final Corrective Action report received 9/28/1998. This corrective action was performed during December 1997 in response to an estimated 100 gallons of diesel fuel spilled due to overfill of a spreader truck. An excavation approximately 10 feet by 45 feet and 2 to 3 ft deep was advanced. The excavation was then extended based on field screening to about 30 feet by 60 feet with a max depth of 4 ft. Soil sample results showed that the excavation removed soil above cleanup levels. |

Update or Other Action |
Final 2000 Groundwater Monitoring Report, Van Horn Facility submitted to ADEC. Monitoring wells MW-1, MW-5, MW-10 and MW-14 were sampled and product (0.95 liters) was collected from recovery well PW-1. Concentrations of contaminants detected in the monitoring wells on-site were below MCLs with the exception of the DRO result for MW-1 (5.37 ppm). IT recommends annual groundwater monitoring to be continued in 2001 for MW-1, MW-5, MW-10, MW-14. |

Conditional Closure Approved |
A NFRAP was issued to Alyeska on the Van Horn Facility site. Final GW levels were 3.33 mg/l DRO for MW-1 (2001) and 12.6 mg/l DRO for PW-1(2002). An evaluation of the exposure pathways reveals that the drinking water pathway is incomplete, and the indoor air pathway is potentially complete but likely to be insignificant, as GW concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons do not exceed the most stringent USEPA target concentrations for this exposure pathway. |

Update or Other Action |
Received Trans Alaska Pipeline System: 2007 Monitoring Well Decommissioning Report. The Van Horn Facility was not visited as planned due to snow cover. Will return spring 2008 to decommission the 11 monitoring wells at this site. |

| 12/29/2008 |
Update or Other Action |
Confirmed via GoogleEarth that buildings still onsite as condition of previous closure decision was that once soil contamination beneath the warm storage building became accessible that it be addressed. Site also listed by EPA. Need to confirm that well decommissioning took place in 2008. |
Keather McLoone |

Site Visit |
DEC conducted a site inspection along with Alyeska Pipeline Services Company and their consultant, SLR. Most of the wells that are to be decommissioned were located and discovered to be high risk for acting as a potential conduit for contamination given their locations and condition. Some of the wells were frost-jacked several feet above ground surface (ags) and had screen exposed ags, others were broken off near ground surface without covers etc. |

Date of receipt of report entitled "2009 Monitoring Well Decommissioning at the Van Horn Facility, Fairbanks, Alaska" submitted by SLR on behalf of Alyeska. Decommissioning activities took place on June 25 and July 3, 2009. The objective was to decommission all wells that could be located at the site. Nine wells were decommissioned. Two of these wells were not identified by previous reports and have an unknown well ID. Three wells that were intended to be decommissioned could not be located - MW-1, MW-9, and MW-10. |

| 5/19/2010 |
Update or Other Action |
A cleanup complete with Institutional Controls letter was issued on this date to record a decision regarding the former waste oil tank. The fuel island area and former dry well were also discussed in the letter as these source areas are also contained in this administrative file, although contamination remaining associated with the former dry well and fuel island was found to be below Method Two Migration to Groundwater. All known source areas at this location have been addressed between this decision letter and the previous NFRAP letter issued. |
