2/20/2001 Update or Other Action Located and reviewed brief file. Basically nothing has been done since 1993. Found the file in the PERP closed files. West Cook Inlet, Inc. out of business so other than KPB, who owns the land, there is no RP with money. KPB has been working with locals to cleanup solid waste, batteries, drums, etc. on the site. KPB contact, Roy Dudley, 262-4441, ext. 324, will send a brief letter with and update on actions taken to clean up the site. Main concern is the drinking water for the residents downgradient of the site. KPB informed that a consultant is needed to conduct a site assessment of the site to determine what the contaminants are and determine the soil and GW contaminant levels. Cleanup will follow the site assessment. Donald Seagren

11/4/2005 GIS Position Updated Using the address in the file, in conjunction with TopoZone Pro and the KPB Parcel Lookup, entered the coordinates for this site.

High degree of confidence in accuracy of location. Alyce Hughey
6/9/2006 Site Characterization Report Approved Reviewed Phase I ESA draft report, that was funded by Brownfields. No comments on the report. Waiting for the Phase II. Some cleanup of drums and debris has been done since 93 inspection. However, after reviewing the site photos, the site doesn't look a lot different from 93 inspection. Appears to be less drums on site and in the wodds, but the rest of the debris is still there. Donald Seagren
6/16/2006 Brownfields Award Approved by EPA and DEC. Received DEC Brownfield Assessment funding 2006. SOA CIP funds $39,057 awarded to Kenai Peninsula Borough for Phase I and site characterization of West Cook Inlet Construction. Contract # 18-9028-13. Current status: No contamination found and site is closed. John Carnahan
7/21/2006 Site Characterization Report Approved Reviewed Brownfields funded Phase I & II site assessment reports. Teh findings of these activities are: no source area of contamiantion was identified; the averageorganic contaminant and metals concentrations in soil for all analytes did not exceed DEC method 2 cleanuplevels; GW concentrrations for all analytes did not exceed DEc GW cleanupstandards and ; no analyte was detected in the privat DW well sample. No siginificant source of contamiantion or migration of contamination is present. Teh results should not be construed to suggest that there is no contaminaiton anywhere on the property because the Phase I observations noted small oil stains located underneath abandoned vehicles and a small pile of battery foils. Removal of the solid waste on the site should be the next step. Once that is complteted a final thorough site assessment can be made for site closure. Donald Seagren
12/13/2006 Update or Other Action Project manager changed from Don Seagren to John Carnahan per Jim Frechione, and transferred file from Soldotna to Fairbanks. Alyce Hughey
