Problems/Comments

Approximately 400 drums of aged asphalt. Drums are in disrepair, partially buried. 1996: Site visit determined these drums were located on property near Goat Hill, Back Loop Road in Juneau, Alaska. Drums are stacked three high in rows, and also stored in conex and trailers. No drums were buried, many were leaking and pools of asphalt evident in the area. Potential hazard to area wildlife. Facility name changed from "Montana Creek Road Drum Site" in 1996. No evidence that drums are stored at a site on Montana Creek Road. It is possible these drums were moved to their current location. Leaking drums and pooled of emulsified asphalt; probably CRS-1 typically used in paving projects.

Danielle Duncan
4/23/2014 Update or Other Action Sent letter documenting prior phone and written communications and requested work plan be submitted. Danielle Duncan
5/16/2014 Site Visit Site visit with CDI and RP to discuss workplan. Danielle Duncan
6/17/2014 Update or Other Action Spoke to RP and he reminded me that Sigrid @CDI had been out of town. Should have a work plan in 2 weeks. Also, the contaminated soil was tested in the asphalt making machine and worked well so disposal will be easy. Danielle Duncan

8/6/2015 Update or Other Action Touched base with RP and he said that the plans for the asphalt plant near Costco have been denied - maybe an DEC air quality/residential issue? He is looking into possibly selling the oil to someone in Haines or Sitka for use by SE Road Builders. Danielle Duncan
10/8/2015 Update or Other Action Received an email from CDI discussing the preparation of a suitable, lined pad at Dave's shop on Concrete Way and transportation of the drums to the new pad during the winter. Moving the drums during colder weather will assure that there is no spillage, and will make cleanup of the vacant site easier as well, since any spilled product will be solid rather than soft. Once all of the drums are moved to the new storage area, asphalt oils will be retorted individually transferred to new drums for shipment to pavers in Haines and Sitka who have shown interest in the product. CDI will put together a more formal cleanup plan. Danielle Duncan
3/17/2016 Update or Other Action The RP is preparing the site - should receive a work plan from CDI soon. Danielle Duncan
