2/15/1994 Workplan Requested SERA Phases 1A & 1B Site Assessment Report which includes this site. The results of this investigation indicate that subsurface soils in the vicinity of the UST do not contain concentrations exceeding ADEC cleanup levels and groundwater has not been affected. No further action is required. The out-of-service UST should be closed out in accordance with 18 AAC 78. Groundwater data could be compared with other data from the area to improve the characterization of the general groundwater quality. Louis Howard
5/3/1995 Update or Other Action John Halverson sent Joseph Williamson and Claude Mayer (3 SUG/CEVR) a letter with review comments - SERA Phase I Corrective Action Plan, April 1995. We received the plan referenced above on April 7,1995. We have reviewed the document and provided comments below. General Comments: As noted in comments on the draft workplan, the corrective action plan needs to include schedules for conducting field work, monitoring and maintaining equipment, and submittal of interim and/or final corrective action reports. We have previously requested quarterly reporting of remedial efforts at each site where free product has been identified (ST 43 and ST36). The Air Force has proposed changes to the several of the tables that outline groundwater monitoring plans. Unless specifically noted below, the department does not object to these changes. The locations of substituted wells need to be shown on figures in the plan, if not already present. No Further Action Sites: Based on the information provided to date, closure of the following site with regard to soil contamination is warranted. If in the future contaminated soil or groundwater are generated at the sites it will need to be handled in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. Separate closure letters should be prepared for the sites in order to document them for the record. ST65 - Diesel Leak (Building 24-856, Fire Station #3): Based on information that has been provided to date, the department does not object to closure of site ST65 under SERA on the condition future closure of the UST is completed in accordance with the UST compliance agreement.

10/3/2019 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other John Halverson ADEC sent letter to Dept. of Air Force, James Spell, Jr. 3 SPTG/CEVR RE: SERA Phase 1A and 1B; Site Assessment Report Final February 15, 1994. Overall the report is acceptable as meeting the requirements for site assessments under the SERA. However, there are a few issues and recommendations in the report on which the department does not concur. Below is a summary of the status of each of the sites. Areas of concern with the report are addressed along with requests for additional work where it was determined necessary. Sites Recommended for No Further Action- The final report recommended no further action on several of the sites. The following sites appear be suitable for such a decision: SS35; SS34; and, LF01. If the Air Force would like to pursue closure of these sites, the department requests submittal of a separate letter for each site requesting closure (similar to the August 31, 1992 closure letters used for other SERA sites). This would help clearly document no further action decisions. Sites Recommended for No Further Action- However, Additional Work Requested. The report recommended closure of additional sites, however, based on the information provided to date, the department can not concur with the recommendations. Sites included in this category are listed below along with a brief discussion of additional work that is necessary and a request for work plans. ST65-The report recommends no further action for the site other than permanent closure of the underground storage tank (UST) in accordance with Alaska UST regulations (18 AAC 78). A decision on the need for further action will be based on the results of the site assessment conducted during the UST closure. Sampling conducted to date can not be substituted for the site assessment required during UST closure. Based on our review of the State-Elmendorf UST Agreement it is not clear whether this tank is included on the list of tanks scheduled for upgrade or closure. The department requests submittal of a schedule for permanent closure of the UST at this site. John Halverson
