Problems/Comments

The Fort Wainwright Coal Storage Yard is located south of the coal-fired cogeneration power plant which is Fort Wainwright’s primary source of heat and electricity. Coal has been stockpiled at the Coal Storage Yard since the 1950’s. From approximately the 1960’s until around 1993, the coal pile was sprayed with waste petroleum products such as diesel, fuel oil, solvents, and lubricants to enhance the coal’s energy content. From about 1997 to 2000, 27 air sparge points and 14 soil-vapor extraction wells were in operation. The system was shut down in 2000 to perform a rebound study. Soil sample results did not identify residual contamination within the source area, and groundwater concentrations did not rebound. The treatment system was decommissioned in 2004. In 2002, diesel range organics (DRO) and gasoline range organics (GRO) were detected in 2 of the 19 soil borings above the remedial goals for the site. Groundwater modeling at the Coal Storage Yard and at the adjacent Building 3564 site was assessed, and based on the contaminant concentrations remaining, it was determined the groundwater contaminants would not pose a risk to the Fort Wainwright water supply wells. Institutional controls at this site include access restrictions (posted signs, deed restrictions on future land use, restrictions on groundwater well installation, restrictions on the use of wells and well use advisories). Previous Five-Year Review findings stated the Coal Storage Yard remedial action goals had been met, and recommended institutional controls be removed. Due to the 2002 sampling event which identified contamination above remedial goals, the institutional controls for this site have been retained and will continue to be assessed annually. The corresponding Army HQAES site number is: 02871.1009.

9/25/2001	Update or Other Action	Five Year Review received.	Ann Farris
12/12/2001	Institutional Control Record Established	1. All organizations conducting activities on United States Army Alaska (USARAK) controlled land are responsible for complying with established institutional controls (ICs). ICs are administrative, procedural, and regulatory measures to control human access to and usage of property. They are applicable to all known or suspected contaminated sites where contamination has been left in place. 2. These controls have been established to implement the selected remedial actions agreed upon by the U.S. Army (Army), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the Superfund Amendment Reauthorization Act (SARA). These controls also apply to remedial actions agreed upon under Two-Party Compliance Agreements. These agreements are concluded between USARAK and ADEC and apply to petroleum/oil/lubricants- (POL) contaminated sites. 3. ICs such as limitations on access, water use, excavations, and property transfers will supplement engineering controls as appropriate for short-term and long-term management to prevent or limit human and environmental exposure to hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. Specific ICs include, among other things: limitations on the depth and location of excavations, prohibition of or restrictions on well drilling and use of ground water, requirements for worker use of personal protective equipment, site monitoring, and prohibition of certain land uses, types of vehicles, etc. 4. Organizational units, tenants, and support/contractor organizations must obtain an Excavation Clearance Request (ECR) for all soil disturbing activities impacting soils six inches or more below the ground surface. The review process for approval of an ECR begins with the identification of the current status (known or suspected hazardous waste site or “clean” site) of a work location. ECR’s for work in known or suspected hazardous waste sites: a. will include specific limitations and controls on such work; b. will include specific IC procedures, and notification, monitoring, reporting, and stop work requirements; c. may include procedures for management, characterization, and disposal of any soil or groundwater encountered or removed; d. will identify “project managers” for both the unit/contractor requesting the work and DPW Environment Resources. 5. The DPW project manager will conduct on-site inspections of each work site (at which ICs apply) to determine continued compliance with the terms and conditions of the approved ECR. DPW has the authority to revoke ECR approval if the specified terms and conditions are not being met. ECR forms are available at the Customer Service Desks at: a. Building 730 at Fort Richardson; b. Building 3015 at Fort Wainwright; c. Building 605 at Fort Greely. 6. USARAK has negotiated (with USEPA and/or ADEC) decision documents and/or Records of Decision (RODs) that mandate the implementation of ICs USARAK Directorate of Public Works, Environmental Resources Department (PWE), maintains copies of all decision documents and RODs requiring ICs in its real property files. PWE provides regularly updated post maps showing all areas affected by ICs. These maps can easily be accessed by using an approved intranet mapping interface application. Copies of these maps will be available to each directorate, activity, and tenant organization. To ensure the effectiveness of ICs, all organizational units and tenant activities will be informed on an annual basis of ICs on contaminated soils and groundwater in effect near their facilities. 7. ICs are enforceable by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). Failure to comply with an IC mandated in a decision document or ROD will violate the USARAK Federal Facility Agreement and may result in stipulated fines and penalties. This does not include the costs of corrective actions required due to violation of an established IC.	Sharon Richmond
