Problems/Comments

During the removal of two 2,000 gallon diesel and gasoline underground storage tanks on July 1, 1997 and one 2,000 gallon heating oil AST in 1999, soil and groundwater contamination was encountered. GRO, DRO and Benzene contamination was a result of historic over filling. Approximately 755 cubic yards of contaminated soil was transported and thermally remedeated at Alaska Soil and Recycling in Anchorage. Continual groundwater monitoring will be done as funding becomes available. Updated 11-15-06 Alyce Hughey.

12/1/2003 Release Investigation Four Groundwater monitoring wells were installed , developed and sampled December 2003. Quarterly GW montioring events scheduled. Excavation scheduled for May 04. David Allen
12/2/2003 Release Investigation Conditional approval of Release Investigation Plan 12/2/03. Alyce Hughey
6/9/2004 Update or Other Action File number assigned and entered into the Fileroom DB and LUST DB. Alyce Hughey
2/14/2005 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other December 28, 2004 Groundwater Monitoring Report prepared by Shannon & Wilson was reviewed. Two wells (B2MW and B4MW) exceeded Table C levels. B4MW was considered upgradient and report indicates other sources may have contributed to impacts. Recommendation is to install 2 new wells to fill data gaps. Jim Frechione
7/22/2005 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed file and reports. Sent an e-mail to DOT and S&W requesting copies of missing reports/data as well as project status update. From the information provided, there is soil and GW remaining with contamination above ADEC cleanup levels. Donald Seagren
7/28/2005 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed release Investigation and GW monitoring report. After comparing with the project file and approved work plan, sent e-mail for clarification on work not in report. Response was work not completed due to inability to coordinate empty tankage. Donald Seagren
7/29/2005 Update or Other Action Sent letter outlining assessment and monitoring requirements needed prior to development of CAP for implementation during 2006. Donald Seagren
2/27/2006 Underground Storage Tank Site Characterization or Assessment Review and approve site assessment/remediation work plan. Donald Seagren
10/9/2006 Update or Other Action RFP for groundwater monitoring in spring 2007 issued to Term Contractor Shannon & Wilson. Donald Seagren
10/12/2006 Conditional Closure Approved Residual soil and GW contamination remain on site. Remaining contamination not a risk to human heath or the environment. Soil contamination around AST will be addressed when the tank is moved and the soil becomes accessible. Donald Seagren
10/12/2006 Long Term Monitoring Established LTM established for on-site drinking water well and monitor wells until two consecutive annual monitoring events demonstrate that all contaminant levels in all MWs are below applicable groundwater cleanup levels. GW sampling will be performed in the spring of 2007. Donald Seagren
10/12/2006 Institutional Control Record Established Former Staff
11/15/2006 Update or Other Action Using the Facility Map in the file, in conjunction with TopoZone Pro and the DNR Recorders Office, entered the coordinates for this site. Metadata includes No Topo Basemap, Aerial Photos, TopoZone Pro Street Maps, on a Medium Size Map, View Scale 1:9,840, Coordinate Datum NAD83. High degree of confidence in accuracy of location.

7/5/2007 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed a groundwater monitoring report; 3 of 6 MWs contained at least 1 target analyte concentration. Only B2MW (and the duplicate) had DRO levels exceeding cleanup levels. B4MW could not be sampled due to ice in well. Monitoring to continue subject to available funding. Donald Seagren
8/16/2007 Update or Other Action Approved a contaminated soil segregation plan to be used during reconstruction of the maintenance station which burned to the ground in early 07. Donald Seagren
