Problems/Comments

A private well at Alaska Pollution Control (near HSS #602) showed 2.1 parts per million (ppm) benzene on 8/18/1987, prompting investigation into nearby sources. Investigation conducted during the removal of the USTs at this site revealed petroleum contamination in soil and groundwater. A remediation system was installed and operated for a number of years until 2015 and the site is now in long term annual monitoring. There are three distinct water-bearing zones at this site that require separate characterization, modeling, and remediation. The first, or shallow, zone is at 20-30 feet BGS and has significant contamination. The second, or intermediate zone, is 35-45 feet BGS. Contaminated groundwater has been identified. The third, or deep, zone is at 50-70 feet BGS. Flow direction varies seasonally for all three, but is generally to the northwest for the site and regionally to the west.

Soil sample results indicated soil contamination present in smear zone: highest historical concentrations still detected at MW-22 (location of free product).	Janice Wiegers
6/19/2003	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Spring remediation and monitoring report submitted. Hydrocarbon recovery rates have remained low since 2002. Benzene has not been detected in the exhaust since 2000. The highest groundwater concentrations were found in the deep well MW-31A (benzene at 21,000 ppb) approximately 20 feet below the shallow wells. Benzene was not detected in the associated shallow groundwater well (MW-31B). This well is located near and downgradient of former UST arrays on the adjacent property. Product was present in MW-22.	Janice Wiegers
11/14/2003	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Remediation and groundwater monitoring report submitted. Product present in off-site wells. The highest dissolved concentrations found on-site were in MW-28 (16,000 ppb benzene). The deep well (MW-31A) contained the highest off-site dissolved concentrations, but contaminants were not detected in shallow wells around the deep well. Vertical migration or migration at depth in the aquifer needs further investigation.	Janice Wiegers

9/8/2004	Update or Other Action	Holiday will be assuming responsibility for investigative and remediation activities at all former Williams Express Stores, but legal responsibility is divided by store. Holiday has renumbered their stores as: 5001=601; 5002=602; 5005=605; 5005=605; 5006=606; 5007=607; 5008=608; 5010=610; 5014=614; 5016=616; 5018=618; 5024=624; 5025=625; 5030=630; 5031=631; 5050=650. While Holiday will oversee the work at the former Williams’ stations, these sites remain the responsibility of Williams. The numbers of these sites remain the same: 5003; 5004; 5009; 5012; 5015; 5017; 5021; and 5034.	Lynne Bush
9/27/2004	Update or Other Action	Approved delay for bi-annual reporting to include more recent remediation monitoring data. The new target date is early December.	Lynne Bush
10/1/2004	Update or Other Action	A decision was made in 2004 by Williams and Holiday to sample selected sites for lead scavengers. The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether or not lead scavenger compounds such as ethylene dibromide and ethylene dichloride are viable constituents of concern. This site was included for lead scavenging investigation based on risk ranking. Risk rank was determined by the presence of wells and potential receptors, known period of leaded gasoline sales at this site, the known presence/absence of Pb scavengers, and the general level of hydrocarbon concentrations. The first event for chosen high risk sites occurred in Spring 2004. Station 2 is the only site where lead scavenger analysis exceeded ADEC target cleanup levels. Monitoring Well 27 had an ethylene dichloride level of 0.202ppm.	Lynne Bush
10/1/2004	Update or Other Action	Future plans for this site include continued monitoring, continued operation of the remediaiton system, evaluation of the costs for site remediation operation, evaluation of off-site migration, evaluation of the three aquifers indentified at this site for migration and contaminant conscentration parameters, establishment of an off-site point of compliance, possible assessment of gradient and plume extent in each aquifer, and installation of additional monitoring wells. A work plan should be submitted prior to the end of 2004.	Lynne Bush
10/20/2004	Update or Other Action	The Soil Vapor Extraction system operation schedule for this site is continuous and the sampling frequency is quarterly. The Air Injection System operation schedule for this site is continuous and the sampling frequency is quarterly. The groundwater sampling frequency remains bi-annually in March and September.

During 9/24/08 meeting there was some discussion about whether the well was missing or not. Site visit to be conducted later in September will include an attempt to clarify the status of this well.	Keather McLoone
6/5/2009	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Review of Oxygen Releasing Compound Pilot Study Work Plan. Focused study to include MW-28, in which a series of ORC socks will be installed. Upgradient well MW-13 and downgradient well MW-30 will also be included in the study. Pre-ORC installation, July, and September parameters will include GRO/BTEX, DO, pH, temperature, redox potential to evaluate the effectiveness. Heterotrophic plate count and ferric/ferrous iron will also be measured pre-ORC installation and in September. DEC has requested to be notified when pre-installation measurements and soc installation take place.	Keather McLoone
7/23/2009	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Review of January to December 2008 Remediation System and Groundwater Monitoring report submitted 7/1/09. The VES was part of initial remedial efforts at this site (1990-1995) and along with a P&T. In 1995 the VES was modified. During 2008, the VES generally operated on a continuous basis with the dilution valve and the seven VES lines for an estimated 344 days. System monitoring was conducted on a monthly basis and analytical samples were to be collected quarterly. Individual lines typically have higher concentrations than the combined exhaust, likely due to the dilution valve. The AIS operated on a continuous basis with the bleed valve closed and cycles between the left and right banks with each bank operating for a 12-hour time period. Monitoring of this system consisted of recording blower pressure and measuring flow in the individual lines. The average flow rates of the lines were generally less than the target range and exhibited variability thru the monitoring period. Previous efforts to increase pressure have been generally unsuccessful. Groundwater samples were collected from seven wells in April 2008 and from 20 wells in September 2008. Samples for natural attenuation parameters were collected from MW-27, MW-28, and MW-30 during September's event. These analyses were also performed on water collected from MWP-3 and MW-13. Review included laboratory review checklists.	Keather McLoone
3/18/2010	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Receipt and initial review of Oxygen Release Compound Pilot Study report. Results of study are inconclusive and other options will be discussed. The effect of the ORC soc was deemed to be localized to the application well and not produce a "rapid decrease in hydrocarbon concentrations at the site".	Keather McLoone
3/24/2010	Update or Other Action	Phone conversation with S&W to discuss the possibility of attempting an "enhanced fluid extraction" technique at MW-28 this upcoming season as a followup to the Pilot Study done on the ORC socs.	Keather McLoone
4/23/2010	Update or Other Action	confirmed with AWWU that this location is on city water - unclear if the private well that is listed on the Anchorage Live website is one that has been decommissioned.	Keather McLoone
4/29/2010	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Review of Source Area Soil-Gas and Groundwater Evaculation Work Plan received via email on 4/20/10. Signed acceptance page was returned via email on today's date with a request that DEC be notified for the first treatment event so that a site visit can be conducted.	Keather McLoone
5/5/2010	Site Visit	Site visits to observe groundwater sampling and vacuum truck extraction. Shannon & Wilson communicated via email that approximately 200 gallons of groundwater were removed during the several hours that the vac truck was hooked up to the top of the well casing.	Keather McLoone
2/24/2011	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed Source Area Soil Gas and Groundwater Evacuation Report, received February 15, 2011. A vacuum truck was used on May 5, June 8, and July 7 to remove soil gas and groundwater from MW-28. Groundwater samples were collected before and after the first and last of these purge events. This well was also sampled in September as part of the annual sampling effort. On May 5, the ORC socks were removed. A vacuum of about 12 psi was applied on May 5 for 5 1/2 hours removing about 283 gallons of liquid. For this and each of the other two events, groundwater was below the top of the well screen, so it is likely that any soil gas or groundwater was purged. The other two events involved 8 hours of applied vacuum. About 270 gallons were removed in June and about 310 gallons in July. The report concludes that the effectiveness of this approach could not be measured. Review included laboratory data review checklists.	Keather McLoone
6/6/2011	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Received January-December 2010 Remediation System and Groundwater Monitoring report. AIS was not operating between May 2009 and March 2010, then operated for 5 months before being turned off and found to be inoperational.	Keather McLoone
4/30/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Received January-December 2011 Remediation System and Groundwater Monitoring Report. Review included laboratory data checklist. Seventeen wells were sampled in September. The VES operated 358 days last year. The AIS has not operated since September 2010, despite last year's comment letter.	Keather McLoone
9/27/2012	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Conducted annual fall meeting with Holiday & their consultant (S&W). Discussed potential contaminant spread from HSS 602 onto First Student property (Operated by Parker Drilling) and the need for remediation. Holiday contends that contamination on First Student property is not the result of their historic releases (or is largely the result of a co-mingled plume). Data analysis will be conducted, and another meeting will occur in November to address this claim and decide upon a future course of action. ADEC also requested 1) a spring sampling event to be conducted in Spring 2013, if possible, 2) Documentation of any agreed modifications to the COBC agreements/requirements, 3) response on feasibility of adding nodes to VEAIS system to address high contaminant levels on First Student property, 4) Alternative strategies for addressing high contaminant levels if adding nodes isn't feasible, 5) Routine measurement of product thickness in wells. Item #s 3 & 4 will be put on hold until after the follow-up meeting in November. Also discussed HSS #606 and 630.	Richard Bernhardt
12/7/2012	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Project manager participated in a follow-up RP meeting with Holiday and their consultants from S&W where I summarized the 25 year case history for this site, focusing on evidence of source areas (or lack thereof) on both Holiday’s property and their neighbor to the north (Parker Drilling… now First Student). I outlined a path forward that involves active remediation with generalized measures of success. The plume doesn’t appear to be migrating, but retains free product and significantly elevated hydrocarbon concentrations that are beyond the radius of influence of the existing remediation system, which now only serves as a vapor extraction system. Holiday is interested in progressing toward site closure and proposed transitioning into Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) as a remediation strategy. However, this is not currently a viable option based on an inconclusive/ineffective ORC pilot study and contaminant concentration trends over the site’s extended history. Optimizing the methods from S&W’s Soil Gas and Groundwater Evacuation Pilot Study and treating the plume in its central hotspot (area of highest concentration) appears to be the most promising means of reducing the plume and progressing to a state where Enhanced Natural Attenuation (ENA) or MNA may become viable options. ADEC also proposed that the current remediation system be turned off in exchange for optimizing and implementing the SG&GWE study in the heart of the plume on Holiday’s and Parker’s property. ADEC will proceed by developing achievable performance metrics, endpoints for the SG&GWE approach, and strategies to allow for a transition to ENA and/or MNA with long-term monitoring. Meanwhile, Holiday will consider whether they would like to explore the SG&GWE approach with the understanding that a remediation system must remain in place, alternative remediation options are becoming limited, and the current vapor extraction system has outlived its usefulness without having significant upgrades.	Richard Bernhardt
4/29/2013	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed Annual Report for Holiday 602. The VES portion of the remediation system operated normally in 2012, the AIS has not operated since September 2012. Four vapor samples were collected from the VES in 2012 and did not contain detectable concentrations of contaminants. Groundwater samples were collected from 17 wells during the annual monitoring event in September 2012. The groundwater elevation was approximately 3 feet higher than in September 2011, likely due to above average precipitation in the Anchorage area during this month. This resulted in generally lower concentrations of hydrocarbons detected in wells on site, and generally higher concentrations in downgradient wells. The highest concentration of benzene was detected in well MW-23 at 0.285 mg/l. MW-28, which typically contains the highest concentrations of benzene, had benzene at 0.00348 mg/l. The report indicates that the screened interval at monitoring wells MW-14, -16, -17, -18, -22, -23, -28, -29, -32, and -33 was below the static water level in these wells indicating the data should be considered as screening level data and not representative of aquifer conditions. Generally monitoring data indicate the plume is stable.	Bill O'Connell
7/8/2013	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed work plan for the decommissioning of MW-31A and the installation of a replacement well named MW-34, which will be installed approximately 5 feet to the east of the former MW-31A. Soil samples will be collected and the well will be screened below the water table at 35-45 feet bgs. The well will then be purged and sampled.	Bill O'Connell
12/2/2013	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed Monitoring Well Replacement Report for Holiday 602. Monitoring well MW-31A was decommissioned in accordance with ADEC guidance and monitoring well MW-34 was installed approximately 5 feet to the east. One soil sample was collected where groundwater was initially encountered at 21.5 to 22 feet bgs and did not contain detectable concentrations of contaminants. The well was completed to 45 feet bgs to match the former depth of MW-31A. Drill cutting from below the water table exhibited sheen and hydrocarbon odor. The well was sampled during the annual monitoring event and the groundwater data will be reported at a later date.	Bill O'Connell
12/2/2013	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed Monitoring Well Replacement Report for Holiday 602. Monitoring well MW-31A was decommissioned in accordance with ADEC guidance and monitoring well MW-34 was installed approximately 5 feet to the east. One soil sample was collected where groundwater was initially encountered at 21.5 to 22 feet bgs and did not contain detectable concentrations of contaminants.

4/11/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed 2013 Remediation System and Monitoring Report for HSS 602. The remediation system consisted of an air injection system (AIS) and a vapor extraction system (VES). The AIS has not operated since 2010. The VES has experienced diminishing returns and vapor samples collected in July and October 2013 did not contain detectable concentrations of contaminants. The report recommends switching to pulse operation rather than continuous operation. Groundwater samples were collected from 18 monitoring wells in October 2013. Samples collected during this monitoring event were collected following purging of the monitoring wells as opposed to samples that were collected in previous years using the no-purge method. Free product was not observed in any of the monitoring wells sampled in 2013. Groundwater at the site appears to be present at three intervals, shallow, intermediate and deep and groundwater elevations have been increasing over recent years. Contaminant concentrations in the shallow plume are somewhat variable however the plume appears stable overall. Benzene was detected up to 3.38 mg/l in MW-23 in the shallow plume. Monitoring well MW-31A in the intermediate plume has shown the highest levels of contamination at the site, with benzene detected at 16.1 mg/l. The leading edge of this plume is monitored in MW-32 which has shown increasing concentrations in recent sampling events, though lower than historical concentrations detected in 2005. The deep plume is delineated by sentry well MW-33 which did not contain contaminants above cleanup levels in 2013. Contaminant concentrations are elevated above cleanup levels both on and off site but exhibit long term decreasing trends.	Bill O'Connell
5/22/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed Groundwater Sampling Program Modification for HSS 602. The objective of the modified plan is to focus on plume boundary/sentinel wells and only sample source area wells every other year. Groundwater was sampled quarterly from 1993 to 2008, then annually from 2008 until 2014. In 2013, groundwater samples were collected from 18 wells. Because contaminant trends in groundwater are well established, the modified plan proposes sampling 9 wells on an annual basis and nine wells on a biennial basis. Four wells that are not part of the current sampling program, MWP-3, MW-11, MW-12, and MW-13 will be decommissioned. Monitoring wells that will be sampled on an annual basis include MW-21, MW-27, MW-30, MW-32, MW-33, MW-17, MW-18, MW-20 and MW-14. Wells moved to biennial sampling include MW-15, MW-16, MW-26, MW-31B, MW-22, MW-23, MW-28, MW-29 and MW-34.	Bill O'Connell
6/27/2014	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Monitoring wells MWP-3, MW-11, MW-1, and MW-13 were decommissioned in accordance with ADEC guidance. These wells were removed from the monitoring program between 2005 and 2008.	Bill O'Connell

5/18/2015	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed 2014 Remediation System and Groundwater Monitoring Report for HSS #602. The vapor extraction system worked on a pulse schedule in 2014 consisting of two, 12-hour operating periods per week. A sample of the system exhaust did not contain detectable concentrations of contaminants and the system was shut off in May 2015 for a rebound test. Groundwater samples were collected from 16 monitoring wells, which are completed in the three different water bearing zones present at the site. Results from the shallow zone indicate long term decreasing contaminant trends and a delineated plume. Results from the intermediate zone indicate the highest contaminant levels at the site in well MW-34, with benzene detected at 18.4 mg/l. The leading edge of the plume in the intermediate zone is in the vicinity of MW-32, which has contained increasing concentrations of benzene since 2010. The deep plume appears stable and delineated.	Bill O'Connell
3/8/2016	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed 2015 Remediation System and Groundwater Monitoring Report for Holiday 602. The vapor extraction system operated for 420 hours in 2015, 12 hours per day on Mondays and Fridays only. Vapor samples collected from the VES system did not contain detectable concentrations of contaminants. The air injection system has not operated since 2010. Groundwater samples were collected from 16 monitoring wells in September 2015. MW-16 was damaged and could not be sampled. Groundwater samples continue to show elevated levels of benzene both on and off the source property with detections up to 19.1 mg/l in MW-34 north of the source property.	Bill O'Connell
4/20/2016	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed Work Plan for Remediation System Decommissioning at Holiday 602. The vapor extraction/air injection (VEAIS) was installed in 1997. The AIS was shut down in 2010 and was not restarted. The VES was shut down in May 2015 after vapor sampling indicated limited effectiveness of the system. The work plan indicates the above ground components of the system will be removed from the site. Below grade components of the system will be filled with concrete or bentonite then patched to match the surrounding surface.	Bill O'Connell
1/10/2017	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed remediation system decommissioning report for HSS 602. The combination vapor extraction/air injection system was installed in 1997. The AIS was shut down in 2010 and the VES was shut down in 2015. The remaining VES wells were cut off and filled with bentonite. Below grade lines were filled with bentonite, cut off and capped below ground surface and left in place. Above grade equipment was removed from the property.	Bill O'Connell
4/12/2017	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed 2016 Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report for HSS 602. Samples were collected from 15 monitoring wells in September 2016. MW-16 and MW-22 had damaged well casings and could not be sampled, MW-26 is presumed destroyed. Petroleum contamination remains in groundwater above DEC cleanup levels both onsite and offsite at the two properties to the north and is present in the shallow, intermediate, and deep water bearing zones. Contaminant concentrations have varied overt time and well MW-28 has had increasing benzene concentrations over the last 4 years, however this appears somewhat related to groundwater elevations, which have also varied by as much as 5 feet or more in some wells over the same time period. Report recommendations include decommissioning of MW-16 and repairing MW-22.	Bill O'Connell
9/22/2017	Update or Other Action	Damaged monitoring well MW-16 approved for decommissioning	Bill O'Connell
12/26/2017	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	Reviewed 2017 groundwater monitoring report for Holiday Station Store 602. Groundwater samples were collected from 15 monitoring wells in October 2017. Three wells could not be sampled: MW-22 is damaged, MW-26 could not be located and MW-34 contained 0.2 feet of free product. Groundwater is present in three distinct water bearing zones and remains contaminated above cleanup levels at the source property and on the two adjacent properties to the north.	Bill O'Connell
6/10/2019	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	October 12-13, 2017 groundwater monitoring event. Up to 4,090 ug/l benzene in the monitoring wells sampled this monitoring event. Concentrations increased in 6 of the 15 monitoring wells sampled. Free product of 0.2 feet was measured in monitoring well MW-34 this monitoring event. Depth to groundwater was 15.08 to 26.15 feet below ground surface. Groundwater historically flows to the northwest. During this monitoring event the monitoring wells were purged prior to sampling. The groundwater samples were collected using a bailer except for monitoring wells MW-32, MW-33, MW-34, and MW-35 that were collected using a submersible pump with the pump intake in the middle of the 10 foot well screen with a top of well screen that is submerged under the groundwater surface to assess contamination in the deeper aquifer at the site. Because the volatile samples were collected using a bailer they are considered biased low due to loss of volatiles using that method. MW-22 was not sampled due to bentonite in the monitoring well. Monitoring well MW-26 could not be located. Monitoring well MW-17, MW-18, MW-23, and MW-29 had a submerged well screens (groundwater 6.37', 9.62', 0.08', and 1.4' above screened interval respectively) the results in these monitoring wells may be biased low.	Robert Weimer
6/11/2019	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	September 17-19, 2018 groundwater monitoring event. Up to 16,300 ug/l benzene, 19,100 ug/l toluene, 1,960 ug/l ethylbenzne, and 3,900 ug/l xylenes in the monitoring wells sampled this monitoring event (the highest concentration was in monitoring well MW-34 which is in the deeper aquifer). Concentrations increased in 5 of the 13 monitoring wells sampled. No measurable free product this monitoring event. Depth to groundwater was 17.14 to 26.97 feet below ground surface. Groundwater historically flows to the northwest. During this monitoring event the monitoring wells were purged prior to sampling. The groundwater samples were collected using a bailer except for monitoring wells MW-32, MW-33, MW-34, and MW-35 that were collected using a submersible pump with the pump intake in the middle of the 10 foot well screen with a top of well screen that is submerged under the groundwater surface to assess contamination in the deeper aquifer at the site. Because the volatile samples were collected using a bailer they are considered biased low due to loss of volatiles using that method. MW-22 was not sampled due to bentonite in the monitoring well. Monitoring wells MW-20 and MW-26 could not be located. MW-18 was not sampled because it was damaged (it also had a submerged well screen, 7.56' above). Monitoring well MW-17 had a submerged well screen (water 4.7' above) the results in this monitoring well may be biased low.	Robert Weimer
6/17/2019	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Meeting with Holiday and their consultant (Shannon & Wilson). In 2019 they are to conduct further release investigation including soil sampling from borings, continue ground water monitoring, switch to using an in-well positive displacement pump (instead of bailers due to the loss of volatiles) with the intake in the top foot of the water column/screened interval. They proposed to decommission MW-22, suspend sampling of MW-26, repair/replace MW-30, install a monitoring well in the "intermediate zone" north of MW-32 and another east of MW-18, and install a monitoring well in the "shallow zone" north of MW-14.

2/21/2023	Site Characterization Report Approved	ADEC issued approval letter for "Release Investigation and Groundwater Sampling Activities, Holiday Station Store No. 602”, dated May 2022. The 2021 groundwater sample data continue to indicate elevated dissolved-phase hydrocarbon concentrations in both on-Property and off-Property monitoring wells. Concentration gradients and distribution patterns remain consistent with the presence of discrete on-Property and off-Property source areas. The data also indicate different plume characteristics at discrete depth intervals. The plume in the “shallow” zone has historically been defined, with the leading edge in the approximate vicinity of Well MW-15 and former Well MW-16. The leading edge of the plume of the ‘intermediate’ zone located in the vicinity of Well MW-32. With the exception of the October 2007 sample, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) concentrations in samples from Well MW-33, which is screened in the “deep” zone, have either been non-detect or less than ADEC Table C cleanup levels. Groundwater flow direction is to the west/northwest.	Alena Voigt

Lynne Bush

10/1/2004

Update or Other Action

A decision was made in 2004 by Williams and Holiday to sample selected sites for lead scavengers. The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether or not lead scavenger compounds such as ethylene dibromide and ethylene dichloride are viable constituents of concern. This site was included for lead scavenging investigation based on risk ranking. Risk rank was determined by the presence of wells and potential receptors, known period of leaded gasoline sales at this site, the known presence/absence of Pb scavengers, and the general level of hydrocarbon concentrations. The first event for chosen high risk sites occurred in Spring 2004. Station 2 is the only site where lead scavenger analysis exceeded ADEC target cleanup levels. Monitoring Well 27 had an ethylene dichloride level of 0.202ppm.

Lynne Bush

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

Review of January to December 2008 Remediation System and Groundwater Monitoring report submitted 7/1/09. The VES was part of initial remedial efforts at this site (1990-1995) and along with a P&T. In 1995 the VES was modified. During 2008, the VES generally operated on a continuous basis with the dilution valve and the seven VES lines for an estimated 344 days. System monitoring was conducted on a monthly basis and analytical samples were to be collected quarterly. Individual lines typically have higher concentrations than the combined exhaust, likely due to the dilution valve. The AIS operated on a continuous basis with the bleed valve closed and cycles between the left and right banks with each bank operating for a 12-hour time period. Monitoring of this system consisted of recording blower pressure and measuring flow in the individual lines. The average flow rates of the lines were generally less than the target range and exhibited variability thru the monitoring period. Previous efforts to increase pressure have been generally unsuccessful. Groundwater samples were collected from seven wells in April 2008 and from 20 wells in September 2008. Samples for natural attenuation parameters were collected from MW-27, MW-28, and MW-30 during September's event. These analyses were also performed on water collected from MWP-3 and MW-13. Review included laboratory review checklists.

Reviewed Source Area Soil Gas and Groundwater Evacuation Report, received February 15, 2011. A vacuum truck was used on May 5, June 8, and July 7 to remove soil gas and groundwater from MW-28. Groundwater samples were collected before and after the first and last of these purge events. This well was also sampled in September as part of the annual sampling effort. On May 5, the ORC socks were removed. A vacuum of about 12 psi was applied on May 5 for 5 1/2 hours removing about 283 gallons of liquid. For this and each of the other two events, groundwater was below the top of the well screen, so it is likely that any soil gas or groundwater was purged. The other two events involved 8 hours of applied vacuum. About 270 gallons were removed in June and about 310 gallons in July. The report concludes that the effectiveness of this approach could not be measured. Review included laboratory data review checklists.

Meeting or Teleconference Held

Conducted annual fall meeting with Holiday & their consultant (S&W). Discussed potential contaminant spread from HSS 602 onto First Student property (Operated by Parker Drilling) and the need for remediation. Holiday contends that contamination on First Student property is not the result of their historic releases (or is largely the result of a co-mingled plume). Data analysis will be conducted, and another meeting will occur in November to address this claim and decide upon a future course of action. ADEC also requested 1) a spring sampling event to be conducted in Spring 2013, if possible, 2) Documentation of any agreed modifications to the COBC agreements/requirements, 3) response on feasibility of adding nodes to VEAIS system to address high contaminant levels on First Student property, 4) Alternative strategies for addressing high contaminant levels if adding nodes isn't feasible, 5) Routine measurement of product thickness in wells. Item #s 3 & 4 will be put on hold until after the follow-up meeting in November. Also discussed HSS #606 and 630.

Meeting or Teleconference Held

Project manager participated in a follow-up RP meeting with Holiday and their consultants from S&W where I summarized the 25 year case history for this site, focusing on evidence of source areas (or lack thereof) on both Holiday’s property and their neighbor to the north (Parker Drilling… now First Student). I outlined a path forward that involves active remediation with generalized measures of success. The plume doesn’t appear to be migrating, but retains free product and significantly elevated hydrocarbon concentrations that are beyond the radius of influence of the existing remediation system, which now only serves as a vapor extraction system. Holiday is interested in progressing toward site closure and proposed transitioning into Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) as a remediation strategy. However, this is not currently a viable option based on an inconclusive/ineffective ORC pilot study and contaminant concentration trends over the site’s extended history. Optimizing the methods from S&W’s Soil Gas and Groundwater Evacuation Pilot Study and treating the plume in its central hotspot (area of highest concentration) appears to be the most promising means of reducing the plume and progressing to a state where Enhanced Natural Attenuation (ENA) or MNA may become viable options. ADEC also proposed that the current remediation system be turned off in exchange for optimizing and implementing the SG&GWE study in the heart of the plume on Holiday’s and Parker’s property. ADEC will proceed by developing achievable performance metrics, endpoints for the SG&GWE approach, and strategies to allow for a transition to ENA and/or MNA with long-term monitoring. Meanwhile, Holiday will consider whether they would like to explore the SG&GWE approach with the understanding that a remediation system must remain in place, alternative remediation options are becoming limited, and the current vapor extraction system has outlived its usefulness without having significant upgrades.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

Reviewed Annual Report for Holiday 602. The VES portion of the remediation system operated normally in 2012, the AIS has not operated since September 2012. Four vapor samples were collected from the VES in 2012 and did not contain detectable concentrations of contaminants. Groundwater samples were collected from 17 wells during the annual monitoring event in September 2012. The groundwater elevation was approximately 3 feet higher than in September 2011, likely due to above average precipitation in the Anchorage area during this month. This resulted in generally lower concentrations of hydrocarbons detected in wells on site, and generally higher concentrations in downgradient wells. The highest concentration of benzene was detected in well MW-23 at 0.285 mg/l. MW-28, which typically contains the highest concentrations of benzene, had benzene at 0.00348 mg/l. The report indicates that the screened interval at monitoring wells MW-14, -16, -17, -18, -22, -23, -28, -29, -32, and -33 was below the static water level in these wells indicating the data should be considered as screening level data and not representative of aquifer conditions. Generally monitoring data indicate the plume is stable.

Reviewed 2013 Remediation System and Monitoring Report for HSS 602. The remediation system consisted of an air injection system (AIS) and a vapor extraction system (VES). The AIS has not operated since 2010. The VES has experienced diminishing returns and vapor samples collected in July and October 2013 did not contain detectable concentrations of contaminants. The report recommends switching to pulse operation rather than continuous operation. Groundwater samples were collected from 18 monitoring wells in October 2013. Samples collected during this monitoring event were collected following purging of the monitoring wells as opposed to samples that were collected in previous years using the no-purge method. Free product was not observed in any of the monitoring wells sampled in 2013. Groundwater at the site appears to be present at three intervals, shallow, intermediate and deep and groundwater elevations have been increasing over recent years. Contaminant concentrations in the shallow plume are somewhat variable however the plume appears stable overall. Benzene was detected up to 3.38 mg/l in MW-23 in the shallow plume. Monitoring well MW-31A in the intermediate plume has shown the highest levels of contamination at the site, with benzene detected at 16.1 mg/l. The leading edge of this plume is monitored in MW-32 which has shown increasing concentrations in recent sampling events, though lower than historical concentrations detected in 2005. The deep plume is delineated by sentry well MW-33 which did not contain contaminants above cleanup levels in 2013. Contaminant concentrations are elevated above cleanup levels both on and off site but exhibit long term decreasing trends.

Reviewed Groundwater Sampling Program Modification for HSS 602. The objective of the modified plan is to focus on plume boundary/sentinel wells and only sample source area wells every other year. Groundwater was sampled quarterly from 1993 to 2008, then annually from 2008 until 2014. In 2013, groundwater samples were collected from 18 wells. Because contaminant trends in groundwater are well established, the modified plan proposes sampling 9 wells on an annual basis and nine wells on a biennial basis. Four wells that are not part of the current sampling program, MWP-3, MW-11, MW-12, and MW-13 will be decommissioned. Monitoring wells that will be sampled on an annual basis include MW-21, MW-27, MW-30, MW-32, MW-33, MW-17, MW-18, MW-20 and MW-14. Wells moved to biennial sampling include MW-15, MW-16, MW-26, MW-31B, MW-22, MW-23, MW-28, MW-29 and MW-34.

A sample of the system exhaust did not contain detectable concentrations of contaminants and the system was shut off in May 2015 for a rebound test. Groundwater samples were collected from 16 monitoring wells, which are completed in the three different water bearing zones present at the site. Results from the shallow zone indicate long term decreasing contaminant trends and a delineated plume. Results from the intermediate zone indicate the highest contaminant levels at the site in well MW-34, with benzene detected at 18.4 mg/l. The leading edge of the plume in the intermediate zone is in the vicinity of MW-32, which has contained increasing concentrations of benzene since 2010. The deep plume appears stable and delineated.

October 12-13, 2017 groundwater monitoring event. Up to 4,090 ug/l benzene in the monitoring wells sampled this monitoring event. Concentrations increased in 6 of the 15 monitoring wells sampled. Free product of 0.2 feet was measured in monitoring well MW-34 this monitoring event. Depth to groundwater was 15.08 to 26.15 feet below ground surface. Groundwater historically flows to the northwest. During this monitoring event the monitoring wells were purged prior to sampling. The groundwater samples were collected using a bailer except for monitoring wells MW-32, MW-33, MW-34, and MW-35 that were collected using a submersible pump with the pump intake in the middle of the 10 foot well screen with a top of well screen that is submerged under the groundwater surface to assess contamination in the deeper aquifer at the site. Because the volatile samples were collected using a bailer they are considered biased low due to loss of volatiles using that method. MW-22 was not sampled due to bentonite in the monitoring well. Monitoring well MW-26 could not be located. Monitoring well MW-17, MW-18, MW-23, and MW-29 had a submerged well screens (groundwater 6.37', 9.62', 0.08', and 1.4' above screened interval respectively) the results in these monitoring wells may be biased low.

Site Characterization Report Approved

ADEC issued approval letter for "Release Investigation and Groundwater Sampling Activities, Holiday Station Store No. 602”, dated May 2022. The 2021 groundwater sample data continue to indicate elevated dissolved-phase hydrocarbon concentrations in both on-Property and off-Property monitoring wells. Concentration gradients and distribution patterns remain consistent with the presence of discrete on-Property and off-Property source areas. The data also indicate different plume characteristics at discrete depth intervals. The plume in the “shallow” zone has historically been defined, with the leading edge in the approximate vicinity of Well MW-15 and former Well MW-16. The leading edge of the plume of the ‘intermediate’ zone located in the vicinity of Well MW-32. With the exception of the October 2007 sample, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) concentrations in samples from Well MW-33, which is screened in the “deep” zone, have either been non-detect or less than ADEC Table C cleanup levels.
