Telecon with Scott at Petro Marine. Follow-up email approval to stop annual leachate sampling from the lined biocell. Water is collected in an oil water separator and then returned to the pile. It is not discharged off-site. Soil sampling results to be sent in no later than two years from date of this entry. Reference email in Outlook site folder this date. |

Update or Other Action |
Jim Beckham provided 2002 soil analytical results for the soil biopile. DRO was nondetect and RRO was detected at a level of 9.6 mg/kg. These samples were not collected according to current DEC guidance and therefore, DEC staff requested that Mr. Beckham provide a work plan to DEC prior to sampling the biopile again. |

Staff reviewed and approved of Carson and Dorn's (C&D's) "Sampling and Analysis Plan", dated August 8, 2011. C&D proposed to collected three soil samples from the treated soil stockpile to be analyzed for DRO, GRO, and BTEX according to DEC approved methods. The sampling will be conducted in accordance with DEC's field sampling guidance. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC reviewed Carson and Dorn's (C&D's) October 17, 2011 soil sampling results report. In this report, C&D documented the collection of three soil samples and an associated duplicate from the biocell. Soil samples were selected based on field screen readings and analyzed for GRO, DRO, RRO, and BTEX. DRO was the only contaminant of concern detected above 18 AAC 75.341 Table B1 or B2 values. DRO levels ranged from 230 mg/kg to 2,800 mg/kg. DEC issued an email commenting on the report and requesting that Petro Marine continue to treat the biocell by aeration and/or fertilizer application. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
ADEC has reviewed the Biocell Sampling Report for the Petro Marine Skagway Plant submitted by Cox Environmental Services. DRO remains slightly above cleanup levels in the biocell soil. ADEC suggested Petro Marine submit for approval, a rigorous sampling method for the synthetic precipitation leaching procedure to test the soil leachate for GRO, DRO, RRO and PAHs. An appropriate non-sensitive, non-eroding, location not near a water body may be appropriate to land spread the 175 cubic yards of biocell soil. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Reviewed the Sampling and Analysis Plan, dated November 2017 for the Petro Marine Skagway Truck Rack site. Proposed activities consist of collecting soil samples from the onsite biocell. Based on field screening results, select soil samples will be submitted for analysis of SPLP for GRO, DRO, RRO, and PAHs. ADEC conditionally approved the work plan requesting that all samples be submitted for soil analysis (AK 101, AK 102, AK 103, EPA 8270E) in addition to SPLP. |

Site Characterization Report Approved |
ADEC approves the Biocell Sampling Report dated July 2020 and edited September 2020. Once ADEC receives the upcoming workplan for landspreading we will review and be able to approve the dismantling of the biocell. |

Offsite Soil or Groundwater Disposal Approved |
Landspreading at offsite property Parcel A-2, Plat 2003-1 was approved. Material will be spread and covered with 3 inches of D-1 gravel. In 2020 samples indicated that only DRO exceeded the most stringent cleanup levels. Analysis by SPLP was conducted and COC were not detected in the sampling results. A brief report will be submitted documenting completion of the landspread. |

Site Characterization Workplan Approved |
The Municipality of Skagway Borough submitted the Phase II Environmental Assessment Sampling & Analyses Plan (SAP). The plan calls for installation of 25 borings and completing 4 as monitoring wells. Groundwater and soil samples will be collected and analyzed for GRO, DRO, RRO, VOC, PAH, and metals. A portion of the investigation overlaps the footprint of this contaminated site. The investigation also calls for breach of the Petro Marine secondary containment by installation of borings. The plan was conditionally approved contingent on coordination with and approval of the secondary containment waiver by PPR. |
