Problems/Comments

Certified Tank Workers excavated an estimated volume of 75 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated material during the closure-by-removal of the leaking underground storage tanks (USTs). Release investigation is required to determine the source of the release suspected to be the piping run. The contaminated soil thermally remediated at the United Soil Recycling Facility in Juneau. Soil samples of residual soil from walls of the UST excavation had 115 parts per million (ppm) total benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), 540 ppm gasoline range organics (GRO), and 1,700 ppm diesel range organics (DRO). The Smith Bayliss LeResche Inc 2000 UST Closure Report concluded that soil and groundwater are contaminated with gasoline and diesel began just under the asphalt at the ground surface and continued throughout down to fourteen feet below the ground surface where groundwater was encountered. Attempts to recover fuel on the ground water surface with sorbent pads were not successful. Assessment of the fuel pipe and a burn area were not completed in the UST closure by removal project. Additional Release Investigation and Corrective Action is required by regulation and should take place before any future renovation of the facility.

6/17/2015 Potentially Responsible Party/State Interest Letter DEC sent by electronic mail to the City and Borough of Juneau Director of Finance, a standard notification of liability for the contamination identified at the CBJ – Hagevig Fire Training Center site located at 2601 Sherwood Lane in Juneau. Because CBJ is documented as the current managing owner/operator of the site, CBJ is identified to be financially responsible or liable under AS 46.03.822 (Strict Liability for the Release of Hazardous Substances) for the investigation and cleanup of any hazardous substance contamination that might be present. Consultant for the CBJ, Carson Dorn Inc., plans to submit a site investigation work plan for the Site in 2016 for DEC approval. The effort is ongoing phased-approach project to complete the cleanup process for these last few of many petroleum release events that began in the late 1990s with decommissioning the CBJ underground tanks. Bruce Wanstall
7/28/2015 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other The Carson Dorn Inc. Sampling and Analysis Plan to investigate soil and groundwater for contamination at the Hagevig Fire Training Center is approved to proceed with suggested comments from DEC. Bruce Wanstall
10/28/2016 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC has reviewed the referenced report by Carson Dorn Inc. (CDI). Based on the current information, DEC does not anticipate any additional action with regard to the former USTs at this site. We have requested that CDI submit a plan to DEC for approval to decommission the non-productive monitoring well that was installed at the site, in accordance with page 23-24 of the DEC Monitoring Well Guidance document dated September, 2013.

1/25/2017 Institutional Control Record Established Institutional controls established for the landowner/manager of this site includes maintenance of the asphalt cap over the former UST area, restrictions on accessing the subsurface without notifying DEC including any future building construction, maintenance of fencing that limits public access, reporting prior to sale or transfer of the property and reporting to DEC every five years on status of the site and maintenance of site controls. Bruce Wanstall

7/25/2018 Workplan Requested At this time, the ADEC is requesting a work plan to address the contamination originating from the UST excavation and associated groundwater contamination and to screen site soil and groundwater for PFAS. The work plan must include an investigation of the UST footprint in addition to the piping run, burn pit, and settling pond. Danielle Duncan
8/29/2018 Update or Other Action Provided historic documents to the City and suggested that in the near future existing or a new groundwater monitoring well be tested for petroleum and PFAS. Danielle Duncan
2/6/2019 Update or Other Action Per Cox Environmental, a work plan will be rec'd soon. Danielle Duncan
2/28/2019 Update or Other Action Approximate two week ETA on a PFAS work plan per the consultant. Danielle Duncan
3/21/2019 Site Visit Site visit with Cox Environmental and the fire chief to discuss the work plan. Learned that both the oil water separator and the settling pond were permitted activities. The facility no longer uses diesel fuel or gasoline in their training activities - now propane only. Now all water coming from the concrete lined burn area goes to the wastewater treatment plant and not into the wetland as previously permitted. The work plan will include screening the groundwater for petroleum and per-and-poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The extent of soil contamination associated with the underground storage tank has been determined and is de minimis. Danielle Duncan
4/23/2019 Site Characterization Workplan Approved Approved the PFAS Sampling and Analysis Plan this date. The plan calls for the installation of seven soil borings to be completed as groundwater monitoring wells to evaluate potential impacts of PFAS to soil and groundwater. Danielle Duncan
5/5/2019 Update or Other Action The fieldwork has begun per the consultant. Danielle Duncan

Control Type

Type Details
Notice of Environmental Contamination This notice and the institutional controls remain in effect until a written determination from ADEC is recorded that documents contaminants remaining at the site have been shown to meet the residential use soil cleanup levels defined in 18 AAC 75.340 and groundwater cleanup levels in Table C within 18 AAC 75.345 and that off-site transportation of soil and/or groundwater are no longer a potential concern.
Signed CS Determination By signing this notice, ADEC and the Landowner have agreed that the institutional controls described below are necessary and appropriate, and shall be maintained and be binding on the Landowner and its agents, successors and assigns. If the Landowner transfers, sells, assigns, leases or subleases the property or any portion of the property covered by the institutional controls, the Landowner shall incorporate a copy of this notice into the documents of transfer, sale, assignment, lease or sublease.

Requirements

Description Details
Periodic Review In signing the recorded NEC, the Landowner agrees to notify ADEC prior to any sale or transfer of the property and shall report to ADEC every five years to document the status of compliance with the institutional controls described in this notice.
Groundwater Use Restrictions No groundwater wells shall be installed in the area covered by the institutional controls without prior DEC approval.
Maintenance / Inspection Of Engineering Controls The asphalt cap over contamination at a depth of 17 feet of clean soil, shall be inspected annually and maintained as needed to prevent contact with subsurface contaminated soil, and/or infiltration of water and potential leaching of contaminants. Signs and fencing shall be maintained around the site to limit access and exposure.
New Construction Restrictions Any future building construction in the area covered by the institutional controls must include design and construction techniques that will prevent volatile contaminants in soil/groundwater from migrating into the building.
When Contaminated Soil is Accessible, Remediation Should Occur In the event that the remaining contaminated soil becomes accessible in the future the land owner shall notify ADEC and characterize and, if determined necessary, cleanup the soil.
Movement or use of contaminated material (including on site) in a manner that results in a violation of the water quality standards is prohibited (18 AAC 70) In the future, if soil will be excavated or groundwater will be brought to the surface (for example to dewater in support of construction) it must be characterized and managed following regulations applicable at that time and ADEC approval must be obtained before moving the soil or water off the property.
