Discussed ChemTrack wp with Simon Mawson, calling as representative of ChemTrack. The plan does not address the need for site characterization nor does it provide sufficient detail for CAP review. Proposes liquefying fertilizer and injecting into subsurface - no details of method, monitoring plan, application rate, containment, etc. May need non-domestic plan review. |

On 8/8/02, Sundet met with Lotte Michael and Sig Jokiel and Chuck Ronan of Chemtrack with Jonathan Williams of EPA on t/conference. Discussion was regarding ChemTrack's "Analytical Sample Report Groundwater Elevation Data June 2002" received by DEC on 6/28/02, and its "Remediation WorkPlan Revised July 2002" and "Proprietary Surfactant Information July 2002" which were both received by DEC on 7/10/02. DEC expressed concern that contamination decreased in GW significantly between MWs 8 and 11 indicating that there may be a natural or artificial, such as following a utility line, pathway; the agencies verbally approved the plan but there were conditions where the surfactant mixture could be injectioned (I.e, certain wells) to limit migration of contamination. A followup letter would be issued by the agencies regarding the revised remediation plan. |

Rich Sundet |
| 1/16/2003 |
Update or Other Action |
On 1/16/03, CSP issued a letter to Johnson in followup to its 12/13/02 phone conversation with ChemTrack. It noted that DEC was concerned because it had not yet received a report from ChemTrack as it requested, requested another status report since initiation fo the GW treatement project including a groundwater sampling plan. In addition, DEC noted that even though Johnson may have elected to postpone further injections, recovery of GW cannot be postposed as well because the contamination will/has migrated due to the surfactants. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
On 3/21/03, CSP provided comments to Johnson regarding ChemTrack's "Johnson Nissan Interim Status Report" dated 2/03 that was received by DEC on 2/23/03, and ChemTracks 2/30/02 "Interim Report" and its 10/7/02 "Addendum to Johnson Nissan Project" report. The reports show that GRO, DRO and benzene continue to be above Table C levels in MW 1,2,6VE, 8 and 14. The agencies provided a number of comments regarding the reports including only some of the required MWs were sampled, recovery in MW 8 occurred but was not approved by the agencies and only approved for recovery in MWs 1, 2 & 6VE to limit the extent of contaminant migration; DRO was not analyzed in MW-8; laboratory analytical data was not included; that the GW sampling plan as proposed was not adequate and the agencies provided further direction what it expected to be performed at the site. |

On 6/9/04, DEC received further information from ChemTrack to assist it in evaluating ChemTrack's request for a NFRAP status at this site. Information provided was reports performed earlier in the 1990s by Dowl and Shannon and Wilson. |
Rich Sundet |
| 6/14/2004 |
Institutional Control Record Established |
An IC was established in the form of a deed notice that this site remained contaminated. The 6/14/04 dated NFRAP requires the RP to record on the property deed no later than July 2004 a "Notice of Environmental Groundwater Contamination" notice that was enclosed with the NFRAP. |
Rich Sundet |
| 6/14/2004 |
Conditional Closure Approved |
In a letter dated 6/14/04, DEC issued J.H.M. Investments (Jim Johnson general partner) a conditional NFRAP letter for his contaminated site. Conditions included a deed notice that the property remained contaminated above Table C levels and Method 2 levels; groundwater monitoring needed to be performed including quarterly for the next year; if soil or groundwater in the future is generated from the site above cleanup levels, DEC needs to be notified and approval granted if that waste is transported/treated/disposed off site, and a plan submitted to DEC is excavation is below 2.0 ft. BGS; and, the onsite drinking water well be sampled yearly.
Also that the NFRAP determination does not waive any responsibility by the RP to comply with EPA because the monitoring wells used to inject surfactant solution were considered UIC wells subject to EPA UIC regulations.
A ROD was issued accompanying the NFRAP/IC letter. |
Rich Sundet |
| 9/20/2004 |
Update or Other Action |
On 9/20/04, CSP responded to ChemTrack's "Analytical Sample Report 4748 Old Seward Highway" dated 9/04 that reported groundwater sampling at the site on 8/10/04. The sampling event was required as a condition in the NFRAP/IC and ROD. CSP requested that a long-term groundwater monitoring plan be submitted as the NFRAP requested, and requested a revised reoprt that needs to contain further information as it did not contain information as required in the NFRAP's ROD. |

On 5/23/05, DEC informed Norm Little the current property owner that per earlier conversation last week it had not received a reports for the December 2004/January 2005 or the March/April 2005 groundwater sampling events. Based upon this information and information in 2004 that he and Johnson had not met several conditions of the ROD on the required timelines, that DEC was requiring that another year of quarterly groundwater sampling occur: June, September and December 2005 and June 2006. Reports for those events are to be provided to DEC within 60 days of each sampling event. |
Rich Sundet |
| 4/13/2007 |
Update or Other Action |
On 4/13/07, upon review of BGES' reports for their 6 & 8/9 2005, and 6 & 9/2006 quarterly groundwater events, issued a letter to Jim Johnson of H.H.M. Investments requesting a workplan by 5/15/07 for additional groundwater sampling and perform an indoor air instrusion evaluation. DEC's letter noted that the October report shows that concentration levels have decreased since the March 2006 sampling event for several contaminants. In addition, xylene in MW-2, and ethylbenzene in MW B6/VE, and RRO in MW-12 have decreased to below their applicable cleanup levels. While contaminant levels have decreased in those wells, concentration levels have remained above cleanup levels in all monitoring wells sampled (MW-01, MW-02, MW-05, B6VE, MW-08, MW-11, and MW-12). There was an increase in contamination since June 2006 observed in MW-1 for DRO; MW-2 for RRO; B6VE for RRO, GRO and toluene; and, MW-12 for benzene. In addition, the Class C drinking water well showed GRO and all BTEX constituents above 18 AAC 75.345 cleanup levels, including benzene at 0.0108 mg/L, which is also above its 18 AAC 80 drinking water maximum contaminant level of 0.005 mg/L. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
On August 29th thru 31st and September 13th, 2012, thirteen water samples and one duplicate were collected from monitoring wells MW-1 thru MW-3, MW-5, MW-8 thru MW-11, MW-13, MW-14, MW-15, and B6VE and from a faucet connected to the facility’s public drinking water well. Groundwater samples were analyzed for: gasoline range organics; diesel range organics (DRO); residual range organics (RRO) and; benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX). The facility well was sampled only for BTEX. MW-3, MW-5 and MW-9 thru MW-11 and the facility well had analyte concentrations below their 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup levels for groundwater. BTEX was non-detect in the facility drinking water sample. MW-1, MW-2, MW-13, MW-14, MW-15, and B6/VE had analyte concentrations above their 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup levels for groundwater. DRO concentrations ranged from <0.600 mg/L to 58.6 mg/L. RRO concentrations ranged from <0.500 mg/L to 8.88 mg/L. GRO concentrations ranged from <0.100 mg/L to 217 mg/L. Benzene concentrations ranged from <0.0005 mg/L to 19.60 mg/L. Toluene concentrations ranged from <0.0005 mg/L to 63.90 mg/L. Ethylbenzene concentrations ranged from <0.0005 mg/L to 5.29 mg/L. Xylenes concentrations ranged from <0.001 mg/L to 26.70 mg/L. Groundwater depths ranged from 5.73 to 8.20 feet below ground surface (bgs) with a groundwater flow direction to the southeast. CSP requests a work plan by May 31, 2013 for the following activities:
1.Vapor Intrusion (VI) Evaluation be performed. CSP suggests starting with a Building Survey. Please refer to DEC’s Vapor Intrusion Guidance for Contaminated Site dated October 2012 Appendix I for the Building Survey.
Please contact CSP within three (3) days of conducting the Building Survey to allow ADEC staff the opportunity to inspect during the survey.
2.Groundwater sampling. CSP requests that MW-01, MW-2, B6VE, MW-13, MW-14, MW-15 be sampled quarterly in order to establish whether a seasonal trend in contaminant concentrations exists at this time. CSP requests MW-5, MW-8, MW-11 be sampled biannually and the facility drinking water faucet annually. CSP will re-evaluate the requested sampling frequency after the first year.
CSP also requests that a groundwater sample from MW-13 or MW-14 be collected and analyzed for volatile organic compounds using EPA Method 8260. This will assist to determine if there are any solvents in the groundwater.

Site Reopened |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), Contaminated Sites Program (CSP) has recently evaluated the potential risk of petroleum vapors adversely impacting the Former Johnson Nissan Jeep/Eagle located at 4748 Old Seward Highway, in Anchorage, Alaska. Based on the information provided to date, it has been determined that the contaminant concentrations remaining in groundwater at the site may pose an unacceptable risk to human health via the indoor air pathway and additional action is warranted, therefore the status of this site will be changed from Cleanup Complete with Institutional Controls to Active.
This decision is based on the benzene concentrations in groundwater remaining at the site. In July 2013 benzene was detected up to 18,500 micrograms per liter (µg/L), which is above the commercial/industrial groundwater target level for benzene of 69 ug/l noted in CSP’s Vapor Intrusion Guidance for Contaminated Sites dated October 2012. Additional investigation will be necessary to address the potential exposure via this pathway.

Site Characterization Report Approved |
The Contaminated Sites Program (CSP), has completed its review of the July 2013 groundwater sampling and the October 2013 sub-slab vapor characterization report.
Groundwater at the sites remains to be above ADEC cleanup levelsfor GRO, DRO, RRO, and BTEX.
Data submitted in 2012 indicates the hydrocarbon plume in groundwater has migrated off the property to the southeast.
Results from the sub-slab vapor sampling indicate that sub slab contaminant vapors are not present at concentrations that may cause a risk to human health. CSP will not be requesting any further sub-slab vapor sampling at this time.
CSP requests:
1. That all groundwater monitoring wells (except MW10 and MW3) be sampled during the lower water table season, before spring break up in 2014. CSP will re-evaluate the sampling frequency after the winter sampling event.

Reviewed April 2014 monitoring report, dated October 2014, for former Johnson Jeep/Eagle, currently Six Robblees. Groundwater samples were collected from 9 monitoring wells in April, 2014 after a minimum of three casing volumes had been purged. The wells that were sampled are all located on the subject property. GRO was detected up to 159 mg/l in MW13, DRO was detected up to 70.1 mg/l in MW2, and benzene was detected up to 19.1 mg/l in MW14. The highest contaminant concentrations are located nearest the source area just southeast of the Six Robblees building. Toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and RRO were also detected above cleanup levels in select wells. Site is approved for annual monitoring. |

Samples collected from Monitoring Well MW-14 exhibited the highest levels of contamination with GRO at 94.8 mg/L, DRO at 53.6 mg/L, RRO at 5.72 mg/L, benzene at 13.5 mg/L, toluene at 19.1 mg/L, ethylbenzene at 1.71 mg/L, and total xylenes at 13.470 mg/L; all of which exceed their respective ADEC groundwater cleanup levels. Of the boundary wells sampled (MW-5, MW-8, MW-9, and MW-12), benzene exceeded cleanup levels in two wells MW-5 and MW-8, and RRO exceeded cleanup levels in MW-12. RRO was present in MW-9, but below ADEC cleanup levels. The sample collected from the facility well did not exhibit any concentrations above ADEC cleanup levels. In a letter dated November 12, 2015 ADEC requested continued annual groundwater monitoring of Monitoring Wells MW-5, MW-8, MW-9, MW-12, MW-14, and the facility well, and to add MW-3 to 2016 monitoring program.

Reviewed the Groundwater Monitoring Report (June 2016), dated February 2017 for the Former Johnson Nissan Jeep/Eagle site. Water samples were collected from six monitoring wells (MW-3, MW-5, MW-8, MW-9, MW-12, and MW-14) and the facility well in June of 2016. All samples were submitted for analysis of gasoline range organics (GRO), diesel range organics (DRO), residual range organics (RRO), and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), except for the facility well, which was only submitted for analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Benzene was present above the Table C groundwater cleanup level (GCL) of 4.6 µg/l in every well except MW9 and MW12, and the facility well. The sample collected from MW12 exhibited a concentration of RRO at 3.27 mg/l, which exceeds the GCL of 1.1 mg/l. The sample collected from Well MW14 was the most contaminated and revealed levels of GRO, DRO, RRO, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes at 125 mg/l, 37.1 mg/l, 2.75 mg/l, 17,100 µg/l, 31,500 µg/l, 1,670 µg/l, and 19,950 µg/l, respectively; all of which exceed their respective GCLs. Groundwater flow direction was shown to be generally southeast at a gradient of 0.0069 foot per linear foot.

Reviewed the Groundwater Monitoring Report (July 2017), dated February 2018 for the Former Johnson Nissan Jeep/Eagle site. Water samples were collected from six monitoring wells (MW-3, MW-5, MW-8, MW-9, MW-12, and MW-14) and from the facility well in July of 2017. All samples were submitted for analysis of gasoline range organics (GRO), diesel range organics (DRO), residual range organics (RRO), and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), except for the facility well, which was only submitted for analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
The sample collected from MW12 exhibited a concentration of RRO at 3.27 mg/l, which exceeds the Table C groundwater cleanup level (GCL) of 1.1 mg/l. The sample collected from Well MW14 was the most contaminated and exhibited levels of GRO, DRO, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes at 52.7 mg/l, 6.96 mg/l, 5,490 mg/l, 675 mg/l, 11,600 µg/l, and 13,390 µg/l, respectively; all of which exceed their respective GCLs. None of the other wells, including the facility well, exhibited contaminant concentrations in excess of Table C cleanup levels. Groundwater flow direction was shown to be generally south-southeast at a gradient of 0.013 foot per linear foot.
Recommended actions include further groundwater monitoring and statistical trend evaluation. |

Reviewed the Groundwater Monitoring Report (July 2018), dated May 2019 for the Former Johnson Nissan Jeep/Eagle site. Water samples were collected from six monitoring wells (MW-3, MW-5, MW-8, MW-9, MW-12, and MW-14) and from the facility well in July of 2017. All samples were submitted for analysis of gasoline range organics (GRO), diesel range organics (DRO), residual range organics (RRO), and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), except for the facility well, which was only submitted for analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). ADEC approves the report.
The sample collected from MW-12 exhibited a concentration of DRO at 1.57 mg/l and RRO at 3.34 mg/l, both of which exceed the applicable Table C groundwater cleanup levels (GCLs). Benzene was present above Table C GCLs in MW-5 (at 0.00836 mg/l) and MW-8 (0.0360 mg/l). The sample collected from Well MW-14 was the most contaminated and exhibited levels of GRO, DRO, RRO, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes at 48 mg/l, 12.9 mg/l, 1.91 mg/l, 5.58 mg/l, 0.309 mg/l, 7.70 mg/l, and 9.45 mg/l, respectively; all of which exceed their respective GCLs. None of the other wells, including the facility well, exhibited contaminant concentrations in excess of Table C cleanup levels.
Section 8 (conclusions) indicates that all the wells sampled show an overall decreasing trend. Based on this information it was recommended that monitoring be conducted annually. ADEC agrees with this recommendation. |

Reviewed the Groundwater Monitoring Report (July 2019), dated May 2020 for the Former Johnson Nissan Jeep/Eagle site. Water samples were collected from five monitoring wells (MW-3, MW-5, MW-8, MW-9, and MW-14) and from the facility well in July of 2019. All samples were submitted for analysis of gasoline range organics (GRO), diesel range organics (DRO), residual range organics (RRO), and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), except for the facility well, which was only submitted for analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Monitoring Well 12 (furthest downgradient) was filled with soil and debris and could not be sampled.
Benzene was present above Table C GCLs in MW-5 (at 0.0216 mg/l) and MW-8 (0.0682 mg/l). The sample collected from Well MW-14 was the most contaminated and exhibited levels of GRO, DRO, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes at 115 mg/l, 7.05 mg/l, 11 mg/l, 23.4 mg/l, 0.569 mg/l, and 16.7 mg/l, respectively; all of which exceed their respective GCLs. Benzene increased in MW-5, MW-8, and MW-14 since the 2018 sampling event. Wells MW-3 and MW-9 did not exhibit contaminant concentrations in excess of Table C cleanup levels. Section 8 (conclusions) recommends that MW-12 is decommissioned. The department suggests that MW-12 is repaired or, if repair not possible, that MW-12 is decommissioned and MW-11 is sampled annually. |

Site Characterization Report Approved |
Sent RP approval for Revised Groundwater Monitoring Report (September 2021), dated November 16, 2023. In 2021, MW 11 and 12 (located in the Old Seward Highway) were decommissioned and MW17 was installed to replace the two wells. Groundwater samples were collected from monitoring wells (MW3, MW5, MW8, MW9, MW14, and MW17) and analyzed for DRO, GRO, RRO, and BTEX. MW3 and MW9 exhibited increased contaminant concentrations of RRO (1.46 mg/L and 1.34 mg/L), in excess of Table C groundwater cleanup levels (GCL). Benzene was present above the GCL in MW-5 (at 0.135 mg/L) and MW-8 (0.0102 mg/L). MW-14 was the most contaminated and exhibited levels of GRO, DRO, RRO, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes at 23 mg/L, 10.9 mg/L, 1.5 mg/L, 2.04 mg/L, 2.24 mg/L, 0.025 mg/L, and 5.10 mg/L respectively. Two soil samples collected from MW17 soil boring were analyzed for GRO, DRO, RRO, PAH, and lead. Contaminant concentrations were below migration to groundwater cleanup levels. |
