Problems/Comments

A 2,000-gallon unregistered gasoline underground storage tank (UST) was discovered during site assessment and surficial cleanup activities. Subsequent investigation and confirmation soil sampling revealed six samples that exceed ADEC Method 2 Cleanup Levels. Approximately 4,300 cubic yards of contaminated soil excavated and stockpiled. Excavation backfilled with clean material. The depths of excavation was limited by bedrock in some places. Site reportedly used by children playing, on bikes, etc.

5/16/2000	Update or Other Action	A letter was sent this date by the CSP to Jalasko Investments in response to review of the North Wind Environmental "Underground Storage Tank (UST) Closure Assessment Review, Tract B1, Spring Brook Vista, Eagle River, Alaska" dated 12/30/99, received on 1/3/00. The report letter outlines work performed during removal of one 1,500 gallon diesel UST and debris of an additional UST of unknown contents and capacity in October 1999. Bedrock was encountered initially at 15' bgs and deepened to 22' bgs with westerly excavation. DRO contamination was 1,000 mg/kg at the south excavation boundary The site assessment report is incomplete. Based on information in the report letter, additional investigation and corrective action will be needed at this location. A more detailed work plan is requested to be submitted by 6/30/00 that incorporates comments from this CSP letter sent including a schedule for the work and reporting dates. The CSP requests that sampling and analysis of the UST include DRO, GRO, BTEX, and PAHs if the DRO sample exceeds 500 ppm. The second UST should be sampled for the previously mentioned analytes and additionally for RRO and HVOs. Neither sampling results nor locations were provided in the report. Excavation and side walls and bottom should be field screened at a minimum rate of one sample for each 100 square feet. UST procedures Manual Sections 4.4.2 and 4.5, and 4.5.1 need to be followed.	Lynne Bush
6/22/2000	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Received a copy of the North Wind Environmental "Phase I Site Assessment for Tract B1, Spring Brook Vista Subdivision" dated 6/2/99. The report made several recommendations. These include: that a limited subsurface investigation be performed with a backhoe and metal detector at the location of anomalies to confirm suspected causes of anomalies; the recently located UST should have its contents pumped, characterized by field screening, and disposed of properly before removal from ground; the soil beneath the UST should be visually inspected and field screened for the presence of potential petroleum hydrocarbon contamination; several soil samples should be collected from the bottom of the excavation and sent for analysis, if significant soil contamination is discovered, the soil should be removed for treatment or disposal.	Lynne Bush
6/30/2000	Leaking Underground Storage Tank Corrective Action Underway	Reviewed the North Wind Environmental work plan entitled "Underground Storage Tank Corrective Action/Closure Assessment, Spring Brook Vista Subdivision, Eagle River, Alaska" dated June 2000, received on 6/27/00.

The requested changes include: put one monitoring well at location of removed UST and two downgradient of SBV-07 and SBV-13 and their locations plotted on a figure; a work plan for stockpile screaning and sampling and a treatment/disposal plan; and add analytical and screening sample depths be located on separate figures.	Amanda Dreyer
10/15/2002	Update or Other Action	The CSP reviewed a copy of the North Wind Environmental "Final Work Plan, Groundwater Monitoring UST Closure and Corrective Action, Spring Brook Vista Subdivision, Eagle River, Alaska" dated October 2002, received 10/4/02, and sent an approval letter. One MW is approved to be installed and sampled. Additoonal MWs may be requested later pending the analytical results of the sampling event. A stockpile sampling plan due 3/1/03 was also requested in the letter as well as the contaminated stockpiles be covered and maintained throughout the year.	Amanda Dreyer
