Update or Other Action |
On 7/11/95, FAA submitted a report by Ecology and Environment which noted that one 55 gallon drum that was believed to have contained petroleum and PCBs spilled onto the ground. Samples collected showed that the maximum levels of PCBs detected was < 10 ppm, lead was a maximum of 822 mg/kg, TPH a maximum of 24,000 mg/kg, and DRO a maximum of 4,800 mg/kg. The report also noted that a heating tank was on-site and recommended further assessment of that tank. |

Update or Other Action |
Final Release Investigation for UST removed at Building 607. Conclusion section - There appear to be several sources of soil contamination in the vicinity of Building 607 in additon to the former UST 56-C-003. Additional sources include an inidentifed source on the sowthwest or wes side of the State of Alaska building northeast of Building 607. Ana additional unidentified source may be reponsible for the contamination on the south side of Building 607. Also some of the contamination beneath the are of surface-stained soil that surrond the former tank is likely due to practices that produced the surface stain.
The estimated maximum concentration of DRO is 6000 mg/kg. and the volume of soil is estimated at 470-1000 cubic yards, not including the soil on the southeast. |

On 4/14/98, ADEC established ACLs for PCBs in the soil at 10.0 mg/kg and for lead in the soil at 1,000 mg/kg. The letter also requested that FAA submit a report of the heating tank which was allegedly removed in 1997 and that the report include recommendations for further assessment/cleanup action addressing the spilled drum and the heating tank. |

Update or Other Action |
Staff reviewed and sent minor comment on the Draft Site Investigation Report, Former FAA Generator Building No. 607, Yakutat. Overall the document provides complete characterization of the contamination present. The report did document PCBs in the surface soil up to 221 mg/kg and recommended placing a fence around the site to prevent exposure to the polychlorinated biphenyls in the surface soil. DEC concurred with this recommendation and requested it be implemented by the FAA as soon as practical. |
