Problems/Comments

Site #5 Building S, one 3,000 gallon heating oil tank removed on August 10, 1994 and additional cleanup with approximately 36 cubic yards of contaminated soil was removed. Soil at groundwater interface contaminated with 1740 mg/kgDRO, with a visible hydrocarbon sheen on the groundwater. The groundwater in this area of Fairbanks is between 7 and 9.5 feet below ground surface (bgs). The limits of excavation on all the tanks ranged from 9 to 10 feet. Apartments are currently on city water system and heated by natural gas. All excavated soils were thermally treated at OIT Services. Site #5 Building R, one 1,000 gallon heating oil tank was removed on September 6, 1994, with no contamination found. Site #5 Building T, one 1,000 gallon heating oil tank was removed on September 6, 1994, with no contamination found. Design Alaska is responsible for design of buildings and is local representative for AHFC. New sewer and water going in at this time also. Jack Felton/AHFC is contact in Anchorage at 786-6203.

Action Information

Action Date Action Description DEC Staff
9/1/1994 Site Added to Database Residence - 1623 22nd Avenue. File# 102.38.064. Eleanor Hung
7/10/2002 GIS Position Updated Changed the Latitude, Longitude, Method Accuracy, Accuracy and Unit fields. Heather Goldman
5/10/2005 Update or Other Action Telephone conversation with Ms. Tommy Camp with ReMax Realty. Informed Ms. Camp that the site is still open since there is the possibility of ground water contamination and documented soil contamination. The spill does not appear to be very big based on the limited data in the files. A temporary well should be installed and sampled and ADEC would consider a NFA or Conditional closure. ADEC will contact AHFC for additional information that may not be in the file. Ms. Camp stated that she was not informed of the spill prior to assisting the current owners in purchasing the property originally. Douglas Bauer
5/10/2005 Update or Other Action Telephone conversation with Mr. Lamont Cray, current property owner. Discussed the situation with Mr. Cray and outline a closure procedure. Mr. Cray will contact ADEC again the week of May 16th giving AHFC a chance to respond. Douglas Bauer
5/10/2005 Update or Other Action Email sent to Mike David who forwarded it to Sherrie Simonds with AHFC. Douglas Bauer
5/10/2005 Meeting or Teleconference Held The following is a summary of a meeting with Larry Johnson concerning a closure plan for 1623 22nd Avenue. 1. Because the soil contamination appears to be small and localized (35 cubic yards excavated at the time of tank removal), the delineation of the any off site smear zone is not necessary. 2. An on-site ground water sample is necessary: DRO per AK102, BTEX per AK102, and PAHs per EPA 8270. 3. Since the area is on Golden Heart Utilities, and the soil contamination appears to be small and localized, off-site delineation of any ground water contamination is not necessary. 4. The number of ground water samples will be minimal perhaps only one sample if concentrations are relatively low. 5. The ground water sample can be taken from a temporary well instead of a permanent ground water well. 6. An institutional control will be required since original soil sample had DRO at 1389.3 mg/Kg in 1994/1995. A restriction of ground water use may apply depending on ground water sampling results.

This decision is based on the administrative record for the AHFC Properties-1623 22nd Avenue, which is located in the offices of the ADEC in Anchorage, Alaska. Grant Lidren
