Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
As part of a Phase II Assessment in November 2014 soil and groundwater samples were collected at the adjacent property to the south at 7221 Jewel Lake Road by the consultant for that property owner (First National Bank of Alaska). Select DRO and RRO samples were also analyzed after silica gel cleanup. The four monitoring wells (G-4, G-7, G-9, and G-10) and sump on that property were sampled and had up to 27 mg/l DRO, 56.5 mg/l GRO, 78.1 mg/l RRO, 5,880 ug/l benzene, and 34.2 ug/l 1,2-Dichloroethane (1.7 ug/l 2016 cleanup level) in the groundwater samples collected. Four soil borings were drilled and sampled, they had up to 4,990 mg/kg DRO, 9,980 mg/kg GRO, 10,600 mg/kg RRO, 265 mg/kg benzene, 7.97 mg/kg 1,2-Dichloroethane (0.0055 mg/kg 2016 cleanup level), 103 mg/kg Naphthalene, (0.038 mg/kg 2016 cleanup level), 653 mg/kg 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene (0.16 mg/kg 2016 cleanup level), and 50.1 mg/kg lead in the soil samples collected. Two soil samples were collected from the former building foundation where the groundwater storage/evaporation cell was had up to 0.245 mg/kg benzene, 565 mg/kg DRO, 4,490 mg/kg RRO, non-detect GRO, and 3.65 mg/kg lead. Three samples were collected from the 110 cubic yard covered stockpile had up to 159 mg/kg DRO, 2.35 mg/kg GRO, 1,050 mg/kg RRO, PAHs below cleanup levels, and 0.0111 mg/kg benzene. The one sample collected from a one cubic yard pile of tar-like material that was below cleanup levels for BTEX, GRO, DRO, RRO, and PAHs. A one cubic yard pile of gravel soil, and areas of visible surface stains were not sampled. Higher concentration of soil and groundwater contamination may exist on the property and in the stockpiles since the Phase II report did not include sufficient documentation (such as laboratory data sheets, field notes, and QA/QC checklists) to demonstrate that the samples were collected in accordance with ADEC requirements. Since bailers were used to collect the groundwater samples, the volatile sample results are considered biased low due to the loss of volatiles by using that sampling method. |

Update or Other Action |
Update from owners representative that Richard Bishop is purchasing the adjacent property to the south at 7221 Jewel Lake Road from First National Bank of Alaska. The owners representative will talk to Richard Bishop about having the monitoring wells repaired, surveyed, and analytical samples collected from them as per past discussions. |

Update or Other Action |
Update from Richard Bishop about moving and/or disposing the soil stockpile on the adjacent property to the south at 7221 Jewel Lake Road. We discussed I would need a work plan for the sampling of that stockpile to characterize it for treatment, disposal, or reuse. He said he would talk to his environmental consultant at putting together a work plan. |

Update or Other Action |
DEC provides comments regarding the sampling of the 110 cy stockpile located on the property to the south. That stockpile was generated during the trenching for the installation of the treatment system upgrades in 2007. DEC requests 3 analytical samples +1 duplicate based on a minimum of 11 field screening locations. Would also need one VOC soil trip blank. The locations need to be throughout the stockpile including the base of the stockpile a minimum of 18” into the surface of the stockpile. The analytical are to include VOCs (8260), GRO, DRO, RRO and total lead in all of the samples. The most likely contaminated location would also include PAHs, EDB, and 1,2-DCA. Any total lead sample 100 mg/kg or greater will need TCLP. |

DEC approves revised September 8, 2017 work plan the sampling of the 113 cy stockpile located on the property to the south. That stockpile was generated during the trenching for the installation of the treatment system upgrades in 2007. The two 1 cy stockpiles are not planned to be sampled as part of this work plan (the sampling of those stockpiles is to be conducted by the new property owner). |

Workplan Requested |
ADEC letter to current owner/operator C&M Alaska Resources, LLC Attn: Michael Speer ADEC requests that by June 8, 2018 that he submit a work plan, prepared by a Qualified Environmental Professional, for conducting groundwater monitoring at your site. ADEC request that the work plan include the following:
1. Document the condition of all of the site monitoring wells (this includes the monitoring wells not in the analytical sampling) and conduct any necessary repairs to the monitoring wells and well caps. Any monitoring wells too badly damaged to be repaired will need to be properly decommissioned in accordance with an approved work plan. Replacement monitoring wells may be required in the future to replace the decommissioned monitoring wells.
2. Survey all of the monitoring wells (this includes the monitoring wells not in the analytical sampling) so accurate groundwater elevations can be measured.
3. Measure depth to groundwater in each monitoring wells (this includes the monitoring wells not in the analytical sampling) and the thickness of any product present.
4. Sample monitoring wells G-2, SVE-3, G-4, G-5, G-6, and G-7 for full VOCs (method 8260), GRO, DRO, and RRO. In addition, sample monitoring wells G-2, SVE-3, and G-4 for PAHs.
5. A schedule for conducting the work.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC reviewed groundwater monitoring report dated May 2023 and submitted by BGES. Samples were collected from G-2, G-5, G-7, and G-8. Samples could not be collected from SVE-3, G-4, or G-6 because these wells either could not be located or did not contain sufficient volume of water. Petroleum contaminant levels remained high in G-2, G-5, and G-8. The highest concentration of GRO (126 mg/L) is observed in G-2, but also remains high in G-5 (4.2 mg/L). The assumed downgradient well G-6 appears to have been paved over. BGES was unable to determine the groundwater flow direction at the site, and additional well maintenance and surveying is needed. DEC approved the report in a letter dated 5/24/2023, but also requested additional monitoring and soil and groundwater delination. |
