Problems/Comments
Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. performed a site assessment around its fuel handling area in July 1992. Soil impacted by turbine fuel and diesel fuel were detected, excavated, and thermally remediated Organic Incineration Technologies, INC in North Pole, AK. Highest contaminant concentrations were detected at 2' BGS. Concentrations quickly decreased with depth beyond 2 ft. Alyeska placed a liner over the excavation floor (2-6' BGS) to limit future releases and backfilled the excavation with clean fill.
Action Information
| Action Date | Action | Description | DEC Staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9/2/1992 | Update or Other Action | Date of Corrective Action Report for Diesel Fueling Area - recommends NFA for this source area. Petroleum Hydrocarbons as diesel by PHC method all ND at 50 mg/kg for both stockpile composite samples and excavation verification samples. | Keather McLoone |
| 9/2/1992 | Update or Other Action | Date of Corrective Action Report for Turbine Fuel Dike Area recommending further characterization. Contamination was left in place due to close proximity of utility lines and building. Diesel concentrations left in place, from 38 samples collected, were less than Method Two migration to groundwater cleanup levels (2008) in 32 samples. Concentrations above 2008 cleanup levels were up to 4,670 mg/kg. Highest concentrations nearest utility lines. | Keather McLoone |
| 12/28/1992 | Site Added to Database | Site added by staff. | Former Staff |
| 4/9/1993 | Update or Other Action | Date of Contamination Assessment Plan for the Turbine Dike Area | Keather McLoone |
| 12/17/1993 | Update or Other Action | Date of Contamination Assessment Report for the Turbine Fuel Offloading Area. Additional characterization was performed in this area including five soil borings and one temporary well installation with soil samples and a groundwater sample submitted to laboratory. This time analytical suite included BTEX. Benzene results were ND (at 0.2 mg/kg) and only one sample contained DRO above 2008 Method Two migration to groundwater cleanup levels at 240 mg/kg. Boring soil samples were intended to further delineate horizontal and vertical extent. Report conclusion was extent of contamination remaining was very limited beyond the containment. Neither BTEX nor DRO were detected in the groundwater sample. | Keather McLoone |
| 1/3/2008 | Exposure Tracking Model Ranking | Initial ranking with ETM completed. | Keather McLoone |
| 2/1/2008 | GIS Position Updated | Updated using Arc GIS SPAR_StatewideLocator (ArcReader) | Grant Lidren |
| 11/13/2012 | Meeting or Teleconference Held | Met with Alyeska (Jan Shifflett) and SLR International (Scott Rose) to discuss the case history and current operational status of this facility. Given the age of the release event (approx. 20 years old), previous remediation efforts, and low historic concentrations, it is likely that most of the contamination has been treated by natural attenuation processes. | Richard Bernhardt |
| 4/24/2013 | Exposure Tracking Model Ranking | A new updated ranking with ETM has been completed for source area 78305 turbine fuel offload area. All exposure routes are now "pathway incomplete, De Minimis exposure, or exposure controlled," and this site is undergoing a closure review. | Richard Bernhardt |
| 5/2/2013 | Cleanup Complete Determination Issued | Impacted soil was excavated to th emaximum extent practical and thermally remediated in North Pole, AK. Inaccessible contamination beneath fixed structures has been subjected to 21 years of natural attenuation processes, so this site no poses an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. | Richard Bernhardt |
