Problems/Comments
Site in and near village was used by the Army, Air Force and Navy from 1948 and abandoned in 1950s. The majority of contaminants were petroleum in soils. There were also low level PCBs and dioxins. Buried debris which occasionally surfaces from erosion or new construction has been a problem in the community. Unexploded ordnance reportedly buried near or in Troutman Lake. The investigation did not locate any ammo caches.
Site 1 is subdivided into three areas. 1A is the North Beach Army Landing Area. No contaminants other than debris are associated with the area. Surface debris was removed in 1997. Site 1B is the Air Force Landing Area. Same as site 1A - surface debris removed in 1997. Site 1C is the whole North Beach and includes underwater debris located just offshore. The 1997 cleanup removed all exposed surface debris.
See Facility Wide Site for complete action list. The Gambell site extends west from North Beach to West Beach, south to Nayvaghaq Lake, and east to include portions of Sevuokuk Mountain. The site encompasses the Village of Gambell. Last staff assigned were Noland, Ortelee, Kalu, Stephens, Rutkowski and Brownlee. (rpltr6)
