Problems/Comments

The Fairbanks-Eielson Pipeline (FEP) consists of two source areas: Milepost (MP) 2.7 and MP 3.0 which are located within the East Birch Hill Tank Farm (EBHTF) area in the northern part of the main cantonment of Fort Wainwright, Alaska. The EBHTF was constructed in 1940 and includes, three truck fill stands and unloading ramps, nine main valve pits, several water separator pits, and over 30 concrete valve pits located at each underground storage tank (UST) location. A 1989 soil gas survey analyses along the FEP identified elevated levels of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) in the milepost areas. Additional investigations detected petroleum hydrocarbons (gasoline products and additives) in the surface and subsurface soil and groundwater. Contamination likely resulted from years of pipe leakage and spills from the FEP. Due to the low-permeability of the soils and permafrost being present, the remedy selected in the Record of Decision (ROD) was not going to be effective. An Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) was signed in 2002 to allow for soil excavations and ex-situ treatments. Approximately 6,000 cubic yards of soil was removed from the site and treated in soil treatment cells. Additional monitoring wells were to be installed for site characterization purposes, and monitoring of the groundwater was to continue until the remedial action objectives (RAOs) were achieved. Excavation and ex-situ treatment of the soil resulted in a reduction of contaminant concentrations in the groundwater. Additional soil borings and monitoring wells were installed to provide more information on the geology and permafrost of the area. Currently, monitoring wells at the MP2.7 and 3.0 sites are sampled once every five years, before the Five-Year Review. The corresponding Army HQAES site number is: 02871.1061.

Action Information

Action Date Action Description DEC Staff
3/26/1996 Record of Decision Active remedial action agreed to at all three sites. Rielle Markey
11/8/1996 Update or Other Action (Old R:Base Action Code = SI - Site Investigation). Previous sampling detected 7,200 ug/L benzene, 330 ug/L ethylbenzene, and 1,200 ug/L xylenes in groundwater; 140 mg/kg benzene in soil. The action date used is the date of the Army Defense Site Environmental Restoration Tracking System Worksheet, which contained the concentration information. Former Staff
2/28/1997 Site Added to Database Site added by Shannon and Wilson. S&W
1/3/2001 Update or Other Action The soils at both of the sites have been excavated and stockpiled at the Birch Hill Tank Farm. Treatment cells have been constructed to use AS/SVE technology to treat the soils ex-situ. The groundwater at the sites is still impacted and will be treated via monitored natural attenuation. There is also some remaining impacted soil at Milepost 2.7 that may be excavated in 2001 and added to the existing treatment cell. Ann Farris
1/25/2001 Update or Other Action Meeting with Army and EPA on January 24 indicates the ESD for OU3 is not completed yet. Still at issue is the CAMU for the milepost soils. EPA considers that these soils RCRA-waste because two TCLP analyses were above reg. limits. Ann Farris
5/11/2001 Meeting or Teleconference Held PM and Section Manager met with the Army RPM, Army attornies, and State AG to discuss RCRA issue. State agreed with the Army that the soils are not RCRA due to the source most likely being USTs. Army is drafting letter summarizing position that Army and possibly EPA CERCLA Project Manager will sign to be sent to EPA attorneys. Ann Farris
8/2/2001 Update or Other Action Received another draft version of ESD from the Army. It attempts to explain that the soils from these mileposts were actually contaminated from the UST tank farm on Birch Hill. Ann Farris
9/11/2001 Meeting or Teleconference Held FFA meeting in Seattle to discuss groundwater monitoring update, product recovery system status, ESD status, and trmt system status. 2000 Monitoring report summarizes monitoring results. ESD is not moving along. Army agreed to generate a document that will include all of their evidence that the MP soils were contaminated from a UST system. This document will be submitted to EPA for a final ruling on the UST exemption from RCRA. Ann Farris
12/12/2001 Institutional Control Record Established 1. All organizations conducting activities on United States Army Alaska (USARAK) controlled land are responsible for complying with established institutional controls (ICs). ICs are administrative, procedural, and regulatory measures to control human access to and usage of property. They are applicable to all known or suspected contaminated sites where contamination has been left in place. 2. These controls have been established to implement the selected remedial actions agreed upon by the U.S. Army (Army), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the Superfund Amendment Reauthorization Act (SARA). These controls also apply to remedial actions agreed upon under Two-Party Compliance Agreements. These agreements are concluded between USARAK and ADEC and apply to petroleum/oil/lubricants- (POL) contaminated sites. 3. ICs such as limitations on access, water use, excavations, and property transfers will supplement engineering controls as appropriate for short-term and long-term management to prevent or limit human and environmental exposure to hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. Specific ICs include, among other things: limitations on the depth and location of excavations, prohibition of or restrictions on well drilling and use of ground water, requirements for worker use of personal protective equipment, site monitoring, and prohibition of certain land uses, types of vehicles, etc. 4. Organizational units, tenants, and support/contractor organizations must obtain an Excavation Clearance Request (ECR) for all soil disturbing activities impacting soils six inches or more below the ground surface. The review process for approval of an ECR begins with the identification of the current status (known or suspected hazardous waste site or “clean” site) of a work location. ECR’s for work in known or suspected hazardous waste sites: a. will include specific limitations and controls on such work; b. will include specific IC procedures, and notification, monitoring, reporting, and stop work requirements; c. may include procedures for management, characterization, and disposal of any soil or groundwater encountered or removed; d. will identify “project managers” for both the unit/contractor requesting the work and DPW Environment Resources. 5. The DPW project manager will conduct on-site inspections of each work site (at which ICs apply) to determine continued compliance with the terms and conditions of the approved ECR. DPW has the authority to revoke ECR approval if the specified terms and conditions are not being met. ECR forms are available at the Customer Service Desks at: a. Building 730 at Fort Richardson; b. Building 3015 at Fort Wainwright; c. Building 605 at Fort Greely. 6. USARAK has negotiated (with USEPA and/or ADEC) decision documents and/or Records of Decision (RODs) that mandate the implementation of ICs USARAK Directorate of Public Works, Environmental Resources Department (PWE), maintains copies of all decision documents and RODs requiring ICs in its real property files. PWE provides regularly updated post maps showing all areas affected by ICs. These maps can easily be accessed by using an approved intranet mapping interface application. Copies of these maps will be available to each directorate, activity, and tenant organization. To ensure the effectiveness of ICs, all organizational units and tenant activities will be informed on an annual basis of ICs on contaminated soils and groundwater in effect near their facilities. 7. ICs are enforceable by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). Failure to comply with an IC mandated in a decision document or ROD will violate the USARAK Federal Facility Agreement and may result in stipulated fines and penalties. This does not include the costs of corrective actions required due to violation of an established IC. Sharon Richmond
7/3/2002 Meeting or Teleconference Held FFA meeting the week of June 24-28th: ESD conditions were agreed to by all 3 parties, completed a site visit of these milepost sites and agreed to additional well installation to completely characterize the groundwater plume. Installation of the wells will probably occur in the winter. Ann Farris
9/3/2002 Institutional Control Record Established When the OU3 ROD was signed it established ICs for this site, which include: a database with a tracking mechanism that identifies all land areas under restriction and an SOP that identifies the specific restrictions for each site. That SOP, which is updated periodically, is ADEC's files and the admin record. Ann Farris
1/21/2003 Update or Other Action ADEC working with EPA and Army to decide on a final remedy for site. Have agreed to do further delineation of groundwater plume and see if natural attenuation will be protective. Ann Farris
4/23/2003 Meeting or Teleconference Held April Federal Facilities Agreement meeting: 4 new wells were installed at MP2.7, and 3 new ones at MP3.0. They will be sampled this spring. Drillers encountered extensive permafrost on the downgradient side of the hill. The contractors impression is that there is little contaminant movement, particularly at MP2.7 because of the frozen conditions. Ann Farris
7/16/2003 Meeting or Teleconference Held Fort Wainwright Restoration Advisory Board held it's last meeting on July16, 2003. Patrice Buck
5/24/2005 Site Characterization Report Approved Staff approved the OU3 Permafrost Resistivity report. This work was undertaken to map permafrost bodies that might affect groundwater flow off and around the Birch Hill Tank Farm. Sharon Richmond
11/9/2005 Meeting or Teleconference Held ADEC met with Army, EPA, the Corps, and consultants for regularly scheduled FFA meeting. Two damaged monitoring wells were decommissioned and replaced in 2005. Other wells have since frost jacked and require replacement. At the northern boundary of the property at Milepost 3.0, benzene concentrations continue to decrease but benzene increases near the southern property boundary. At Milepost 2.7, contaminant trends remain largely unchanged except at AP-8707 and AP-6034 where benzene concentrations increased substantially. Benzene has decreased at AP-5651. Sharon Richmond
12/21/2005 Update or Other Action Staff reviewed the Milepost 2.7 and 3.0 Treatment Cells Decommissioning Report. These cells were decomissioned in July and August 2003. Soil below pre-established screening levels was disposed of in the Fort Wainwright landfill. Soil above screening criteria was stockpiled and then transported to OIT in 2004 for treatment by thermal desportion. A total of approximately 9,605 cubic yards was treated or disposed of. Confirmation sampling indicated that contaminated soil remained in footprint of the MP 2.7 cell. Approximately 15 cy was excavated. This soil is stockpiled onsite and will be thermally remediated.
