Based on the information provided to date, ADEC has determined that the cleanup actions (soil removal and product recovery) employed at the ADOT&PF Jim River Maintenance Camp has been effective in removing the majority of the contamination. The contamination remaining beneath the generator and life support buildings does not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment and it will naturally attenuate over time. Kim DeRuyter
8/31/2006 Institutional Control Record Established An Institutional Control will be added to the ADEC Contaminated Sites Database identifying the nature and extent of contamination remaining on site. In accordance with 18 AAC 75.325(i), ADEC approval must be obtained prior to removal and/or disposal of soil or groundwater from this site to an off-site location. In addition, the ADEC should be notified prior to any excavation in the impacted area as screening for impacted material and the use of properly trained excavation personnel may be required. In accordance with 18 AAC 75.380(d)(2), additional investigation and cleanup may be required if new information is discovered which leads the ADEC to make a determination that the cleanup described in this decision is not protective of human health, safety, and welfare or the environment.
