We make every effort to ensure the data presented here is accurate based on the best available information currently on file with DEC. It is therefore subject to change as new information becomes available. We recommend contacting the assigned project staff prior to making decisions based on this information.

Problems/Comments

Contamination resulted from a 1992 spill from a 250-gallon day diesel fuel tank (AST) at the hotel's emergency generator building approximately 100' from Lake Spenard. Groundwater and soils are contaminated by diesel range organics. Initial steps taken to contain and cleanup the fuel. Potential for groundwater contamination of Lake Hood. Following soil excavation, diesel contaminated soil with concentrations of 6,000 to 14,000 mg/kg was left in place, in part due to utility and structural constraints. The highest level of contamination found in groundwater was 2.7 mg/L DRO.
