Problems/Comments

Myron Bearson was denied QAPP to do sampling at site, but was permitted to obtain samples as long as ADEC staff supervised sample collection on site. Lab samples taken to NTL 2-23-93 and 10 day turn around time expected. Information about this site is contained in multiple database records. Hazard ID 26015 will track non-LUST contaminated site information. LUST information will be tracked under Hazard ID 23346.

6/4/2004 Update or Other Action No Further Remedial Action Planned Letter NOT sent or generated 6/4/2004. Status now Closed. Field screening indicated contamination. No Release Investigation conducted. Fate of stockpile soil undetermined. This site will require additional site assessment when existing UST's are removed. David Allen
6/26/2008 Update or Other Action Site visit by ADEC staff Everson and Frechione. Property is a salvage yard w/ high probability of contamination, however no releases or evidence of significant contamination was or could be observed without property access. Wadsworth debris/equipment appears to overflow onto adjacent properties. Neal Everson
7/2/2008 Update or Other Action ADEC staff Everson and Frechione conducted a site visit on 25 June. There is high probability of contamination. The property is a salvage yard. The owners are out of compliance with several other programs IPP, weights and measures, fire marshall, UST. Contrary to previous database entries- this site is active. No decision document was drafted. Current USTs are out of compliance- when tanks are pulled a SA is required. Neal Everson

4/20/2009 Site Visit Cheryl Paige of IPP conducted a site visit and recorded the following observations: "I have pictures from 2007 that show a large pile of gravel but the pile is gone now. There is an enormous amount of abandoned vehicles, more than 50, and I assume they all had batteries and fuel at some point. There were at least four AST-type things; one is large, on the NE corner near the road; one is located on the southern edge, about half as tall and has been cut open; one vertical, about 500 gallons, is on the SE corner near the road, looks new but the top is removed; one is located south of the USTs but near the NW corner, and was said to contain heating fuel this winter (it may still). There is a large stack of used 50-gallon drums on the southern edge near the road. It was not possible to assess surface staining or drainage because of deep snow cover and the hazard of walking through the unkempt junkyard where jagged metal and piping lays everywhere and is covered by snow. There was a heating oil tank in the basement of the hotel in the back of the gas station. That portion was destroyed in the 3 Apr 2007 fire. The Fire Marshall/Troopers had to shut the highway down at the time because they feared the vapors would explode." Neal Everson
9/11/2009 Update or Other Action On 9/11/2009, DEC issued NTP 18300922001 to Oasis Environmental for $24,964.92 to assist DEC in performing an inspection at the site in fall 2009, collect samples, and prepare a report of these activities. Rich Sundet
9/23/2009 Site Visit On 9/23/2009, DEC and its contractor Oasis Environmental performed an inspection at the site. The inspection consisted of a site survey, general material assessment, site inspection such as documentation of releases, and samples were collected from areas where releases were observed and from the contents inside of containers. Rich Sundet
3/24/2010 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other On 3/24/2010, DEC received a report prepared by its contractor Oasis for the inspection that was performed at the site on 9/23/2009. The report documented much solid materials consisting of used vehicles (with and without motors etc.) and other materials (such as drums of asphalt or used batteries) on the Wadsworth properties and adjacent properties owned by State of Alaska and Tanacross Native Corporation. Four underground storage tanks (USTs) were present during the inspection but were vertually empty of fuel. In addition, several releases of hazardous substances were observed on the subject properties, including one surface soil sample that was collected north of the building which sign stated "Wadsworth" on Lot 94 and analyzed which showed DRO at 22,400 mg/kg and RRO at 69,000 mg/kg, and were above cleanup levels. The report included a cost analysis to remove the materials other than the buildings on site, material inside of the buildings, underground storage tanks and current registered vehicles. Rich Sundet
12/6/2012 Update or Other Action Lattitude/longitude updated. Janice Wiegers
6/24/2013 Enforcement Action In September 2010, the Alaska Attorney General’s office filed a civil lawsuit against Norma Wadsworth and Myron Bearson on behalf of the DEC, DNR, and DOT to resolve long-standing trespass, encroachment, and violation of underground storage tank, oil and hazardous substance cleanup, and DOT Junkyard Act requirements. The lawsuit sought removal of substandard underground storage tanks and dispensers that encroached on the Alaska Highway and East C Street ROWs, as well as junk, materials and other encroachments on State Lots 92 and 95 and the C Street, D Street, and East Chena Way ROWs, cleanup of oil and hazardous substance spills, and fencing of the Wadsworth Property to comply with the Alaska Junkyard Act. On June 24, 2013, the Alaska Superior Court granted judgment in favor of the State. DEC, DNR and DOT are overseeing Norma Wadsworth and Myron Bearson’s compliance with the Court’s order. In addition, the judgment allows the State to remove the USTs and dispensers at the expense of Norma Wadsworth and Myron Bearson. Under the Court’s judgment, Norma Wadsworth and Myron Bearson have been prohibited from using the fuel dispensers or placing fuel in or dispensing fuel from the underground storage tanks at the Camper City Super Service facility. They are also prohibited from selling motor fuel at the Camper City Super Service Facility until such time as the facility’s fuel dispensers are repaired, tested and certified as dispensing accurate volumes of fuel to customers in compliance with the Alaska Weights and Measures Act and its implementing regulations.
