Problems/Comments

ADOT&PF currently occupies the subject lease lots. Lot 7A supports a maintenance facility for State vehicles, airport services, and heavy equipment storage. Lot 8 borders the western portion of the gravel pad supporting the maintenance shop facilities. During AGRA's 1992 Phase I Assessment of this property, heavily stained surface soils were observed both inside and around the shop facilities. In addition, AGRA noted that some pond surface waters on Lot 8 exhibited a petroleum-type sheen. The phase I pointed to the following areas of concern: drum and materials storage area on the eastern side of the warm storage building, the subsurface soils surrounding the on-site ASTs, the area surrounding the fuel dispensing station, and the maintenance shop floor. During the phase II assessment, AGRA advanced 33 soil borings throughout Lots 7A and 8. The analytical results found no benzene present in any of the samples. Elevated levels of xylene (up to 130 mg/kg) were found as well as DRPH samples (up to 17,000 mg/kg) were found on-site. The elevated DRPH samples were found inside the two shop buildings. Tetrachloroethene (PCE) was found at a concentration of 3.2 mg/kg.

6/30/2008 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed Phase II Report for ADOT Deadhorse Maintenance Facility Dated October 1994.Soil samples were collected from boreholes inside and outside the Shop and Warm Storage Buildings, and surface water and sediment samples were collected from adjacent tundra areas. DRO was detected in soil up to 17,000 mg/kg in borehole SB-27. Soil samples from 17 boreholes contained DRO above 500 mg/kg, primarily inside the Shop Building .BTEX was not detected above Method Two cleanup levels. PCE was detected up to 3.2 mg/kg in several boreholes in the Shop Building. Surface water and sediment samples did not contain contaminants at concentrations indicative of contamination, except at sample PS-2 near the former fuel tanks where DRO was detected at 1,400 mg/kg. Bill O'Connell
7/2/2009 Site Characterization Report Approved Reviewed Site Characterization Report dated June 19, 2009. Four soil borings were advanced inside the Shop Building to evaluate contaminant concentrations detected in the 1994 investigation. Soil borings were advanced to a depth of 15 feet bgs and two soil samples were collected from each borehole and analyzed for DRO, RRO, GRO, VOCs, PAHs, and PCBs. DRO was detected up to 3,760 mg/kg in borehole 2 at 8.5 to 11 feet bgs and benzene was detected up to 0.0238 mg/kg borehole 5 at 6-10.5 feet bgs.PCBs were not detected in any sample and PAHs were not detected above cleanup levels. The chlorinated solvents initially detected in the 1994 samples were not detected in 2009 samples. Bill O'Connell
