Problems/Comments

Diesel fuel contamination was identified in soil and groundwater associated with a diesel underground storage tank system (UST) that was removed in 1989. During the UST removal an estimated 7,000 gallons of diesel fuel and contaminated water were pumped from the tank into a nearby drainage ditch which flowed into a wetland located to the west of the UST property. The highest concentrations of contaminants in soil were located off-property at one of the dams constructed during the spill response containment (Dam #3). During the spill response about 20 gallons of diesel fuel was recovered. In 1990, the current property owner Eastwind entered into a Compliance Order By Consent (COBC) with the DEC for the release investigation, cleanup, and monitoring of the diesel fuel contamination at this site. Later in 1990, 127 tons of contaminated soil was excavated from the drainage ditch and transported off property for treatment and disposal. In 1993, three groundwater monitoring wells were installed and sampled. The monitoring wells had up to 15 milligrams per liter (mg/l) DRO. Groundwater monitoring continued until 1999, in 1999 there was up to 3.47 mg/l DRO in the groundwater with depth to groundwater 11 to 15 feet below ground surface. In 1994, 1995, and 1996 additional contaminated soil was excavated from the Dam #3 area and transported off-property for thermal treatment. Up to 5,100 mg/kg DRO was left after the excavation work in 1996. In 2012 eleven soil borings and three replacement monitoring wells were installed and sampled. The groundwater in these monitoring wells had up to 0.575 mg/l DRO. The samples from the soil borings had up to 1,900 mg/kg DRO and 0.0315 mg/kg benzene. Later in 2012, 7,629 tons of contaminated soil was excavated from the former UST area and transported off property for thermal treatment. During the excavation work, about 13,000 gallons of contaminated water with up to 8.9 mg/l DRO was pumped from the excavation for disposal in the sanitary sewer system in accordance with a discharge permit. After the removal of the contaminated soil and groundwater, samples from the monitoring wells did not contain detectable concentrations of DRO, GRO, or benzene and confirmation soil samples collected from the excavation did not contain contaminants above the most stringent migration to groundwater cleanup levels. In 2013, a review of the as-built drawing from the C Street extension project indicated the Dam #3 area was now under the paved roadway. Later in 2013 the monitoring wells were decommissioned in accordance with an approved plan. F.K.A. L55.59. Another area of soil and groundwater contamination exists at the property. See file number 2100.38.539.

3/9/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	ADEC reviewed the February 2012 "Sampling and Analysis Work Plan for Property Located at 101 East 100th Avenue" submitted by TELLUS, Ltd. on behalf of AEL Anchorage LLC. The work plan proposes to collect soil and groundwater samples to help assess for remaining contamination for the above referenced site. The work plan as proposed in not approved. The Department requests that AEL Anchorage LLC submit a revised work plan by March 31, 2012 that includes the following modifications: 1. As requested previously, the Dam #3 location must be assessed for soil and groundwater contamination. This area has been surveyed in by DOWL Engineers and marked on site maps and aerial photos. The Department is requesting that the location of the Dam #3 sampling conducted on September 10, 1996 be accurately identified so those areas can be assessed for soil and groundwater contamination. The work plan needs to include a site map showing the areas to be assessed and survey data used to choose those locations. At least three soil borings completed as monitoring wells are requested to help assess this area. In each boring location analytical soil samples need to be collected at the soil/water interface and other depth deeper than the soil/water interface most likely to be contaminated based on field readings and observations. If soil shallower than the soil/water interface appears more contaminated than the other two depths based on field readings and observations then a third analytical sample will need to be collected from that boring. Each of analytical samples are to be analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The soil sample of the Dam #3 borings most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is also to be analyzed for PAHs. 2. Each of the Dam #3 borings are to be completed as monitoring wells, and have groundwater samples collected and analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The groundwater in the Dam #3 monitoring well most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is to be also be analyzed for PAHs. All of the monitoring wells are to remain for future sampling. 3. For the replacement monitoring well area at each boring location analytical soil samples need to be collected at the soil/water interface and the other depth most likely to be contaminated based on field readings and observations. Each of analytical samples are to be analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The soil sample most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations of all of the 3 monitoring well area borings is to be also be analyzed for PAHs, including a field duplicate for BTEX, GRO, DRO, and PAHs. 4. Each of the replacement monitoring well area borings are to be completed as monitoring wells, and have groundwater samples collected and analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The groundwater sample from the monitoring well in this area most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is to be also be analyzed for PAHs, including a field duplicate for PAHs, BTEX, GRO, and DRO. All of the monitoring wells are to remain for future sampling. 5. No silica gel cleanup is to be conducted on any samples prior to analysis. 6. The three damaged existing monitoring wells will need to be properly decommissioned in accordance with current ADEC guidance. 7. The purge/development water is not approved for disposal on-site. All drill cuttings and purge/development water will need to be properly containerized for treatment and disposal under a separate request. 8. The final report will need to include complete copies of all field notes. 9. The ADEC project manager, Robert Weimer is to be notified at least 3 days prior to when the field work is to be conducted so ADEC staff can have an opportunity to observe the field work. 10. All of the monitoring wells installed need to be surveyed so the groundwater gradient can be determined and be included in the report, along with depth to groundwater measurements.	Robert Weimer
4/9/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	ADEC reviewed the March 2012 "Sampling and Analysis Work Plan for Property Located at 101 East 100th Avenue" submitted by TELLUS, Ltd. on behalf of AEL Anchorage LLC.

5/30/2012	Site Characterization Workplan Approved	DEC review of May 2012 Remedial Action Work Plan for the property located at 101 East 100th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska. Within this plan, you proposed to excavate contaminated soil from the source area excluding overburdened soil from 0 to 5 feet below ground surface. The excavation area is anticipated to be triangular shaped and is estimated to measure 75 feet by 75 feet by 55 feet. Once hydrocarbon soil is re-encountered with the source area, the excavated impacted material will be loaded directly into side dump trailers and trucked to Alaska Soil Recycling for thermal treatment. Discrete soil sampling procedures will be implemented within the excavation pit and sidewalls to assess whether all contaminated soil has been removed. Collected soil samples slated for laboratory analysis will be analyzed for GRO, DRO, and BTEX. Groundwater monitoring well MW A will be decommissioned and replaced with monitoring well MW A1. All three existing wells will be re-sampled following the well replacement to be analyzed for GRO, DRO, and BTEX. Also requested approval to dispose of investigative derived waste (soil and groundwater). Clean soil and groundwater will be disposed of on-site while contaminated soil drill cuttings will be incorporated into excavated contaminated soil slated to be thermally treated at ASR. The subject work plan is approved under the following conditions: 1. Tellus, Ltd, will adhere to our Laboratory Data and Quality Assurance Policy (Tech Memo 06-002) when collecting and evaluating laboratory analytical data. We posted a technical memorandum on environmental laboratory analytical data requirements at http://www.dec.state.ak.us/spar/csp/guidance/tm_lab_qa.pdf and laboratory data review checklist at http://www.dec.state.ak.us/spar/csp/guidance/lab_checklist.pdf. Please note that the laboratory data review checklist must be completed for every laboratory analytical data deliverable received. Laboratory data deliverables that are missing the chain of custodies and/or sample receipt forms are insufficient to complete the laboratory data review checklist. 2. Tellus, Ltd, will adhere to our November 2011 Monitoring Well Guidance, November 2002 Underground Storage Tank Procedures Guidance and our May 2010 Draft Field Sampling Guidance when conducing site characterization and cleanup. We posted these Guidance’s at http://dec.alaska.gov/spar/guidance.htm#csp. 3. All drill cuttings collected to date will be assumed to be contaminated due to questions regarding the quality/integrity of the soil GRO and BTEX data. These cutting will be incorporated into soil scheduled to be thermally treated at Alaska Soil Recycling. 4. Tellus, Ltd will analyze at least one soil and one groundwater sample for PAHs in accordance with DEC approved methods.	Robert Weimer

7/12/2012	Update or Other Action	On July 12, 2012 a replacement monitoring well MWAA was installed to replace monitoring well MWA that was removed during the excavation conducted at the site in June/July 2012.	Robert Weimer
8/10/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	DEC reviewed the site release investigation information provided to date emailed RP's attorney and they are still missing items 1, 2, 5, and 7 (determining groundwater gradient for each monitoring event) in the April 9, 2012 conditional approval letter (see attached and copied below). The information in item 7 is very important in evaluating whether seasonally the existing 3 monitoring wells are adequate to characterize the groundwater contamination at the site. 1. As requested previously, the Dam #3 location must be assessed for soil and groundwater contamination. This area has been surveyed in by DOWL Engineers and marked on site maps and aerial photos. The Department is requesting that the location of the Dam #3 sampling conducted on September 10, 1996 be accurately identified so those areas can be assessed for soil and groundwater contamination. The proposed supplemental work plan needs to include a site map showing the areas to be assessed and survey data used to choose those locations. At least three soil borings completed as monitoring wells are requested to help assess this area. In each boring location analytical soil samples need to be collected at the soil/water interface and other depth deeper than the soil/water interface most likely to be contaminated based on field readings and observations. If soil shallower than the soil/water interface appears more contaminated than the other two depths based on field readings and observations then a third analytical sample will need to be collected from that boring. Each of analytical samples are to be analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The soil sample of the Dam #3 borings most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is also to be analyzed for PAHs. The supplemental work plan for the Dam #3 location is to be submitted no later than May 1, 2012. 2. Each of the Dam #3 borings are to be completed as monitoring wells, and have groundwater samples collected and analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The groundwater in the Dam #3 monitoring well most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is to be also be analyzed for PAHs. All of these monitoring wells are to remain for future sampling. 5. The final report will need to include complete copies of all field notes. 7. All of the monitoring wells installed need to be surveyed so the groundwater gradient can be determined and be included in the report, along with depth to groundwater measurements.	Robert Weimer
9/7/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	July 2012 Remedial Action Report. Between June 8, 2012 and June 30, 2012 7,629.79 tons of contaminated soil was excavated and hauled off-site for thermal treatment at ASR. The excavation was approximately 14,000 square feet at the surface as of July 2, 2012. The depth of the excavation ranged between 13 feet and 25 feet below ground surface. Approximately 3 feet of clean overburden soil was removed and reused as backfill. Up to 745 mg/kg DRO in the samples collected from the base of the excavation, and up to 2,960 mg/kg DRO in the samples collected from the excavation sidewalls. Additional soil was removed from those areas. 61 analytical samples were collected from the base of the excavation and 51 analytical samples were collected from the sidewalls. One additional analytical sample was collected from each of the 4 locations (2 base and 2 sidewall) that had soil above cleanup levels. Excavation base sampling was not done in accordance with the conditionally approved plan. For an excavation of 14,000 square feet at least 148 field screening locations are required but only 60 were collected. In addition for the two excavation base locations where additional soil was excavated those areas did not have the required base/sidewall field screening and analytical sampling to assess the area excavated. Only one field screening and one analytical sample was collected. The eastern portion (approximately 5,200 square feet) of the excavation base required at least 52 field screening and 21 analytical samples, but had only 13 field screening and 13 analytical samples collected. Sidewall sampling was not done in accordance with the conditionally approved plan. Field screening was not conducted every 10 linear feet of sidewall and not done at multiple depths/areas of most likely contamination. The height of the sidewalls ranged between 13 and 25 feet and no field screening conducted at the soil water interface. Field screening samples were only collected at the depth sampled. There were not analytical samples collected for each 20 foot section of sidewall as required. In addition for the two sidewall locations where additional soil was excavated those areas did not have the required field screening sidewall and analytical sampling to assess the areas excavated. Only one field screening and one analytical sample was collected.	Robert Weimer
9/7/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	July 28, 2012 groundwater monitoring event. The three replacement monitoring wells (MWAA - replacement well for monitoring well MWA, MWB, and MWC) were sampled for DRO, GRO, and BTEX. Up to <0.391 mg/l DRO, <0.05 mg/l GRO, and <0.5 ug/l benzene. Groundwater flow direction was to the southwest. Depth to groundwater was about 2 to 4 feet below ground surface. Due to the size of the contaminated soil excavation and the variability in groundwater flow direction, the three existing site monitoring wells are not adequate to assess for groundwater contamination at this site. Additional monitoring wells and additional groundwater monitoring events are needed to assess the nature and extent of the groundwater contamination at this site.	Robert Weimer
9/11/2012	Update or Other Action	DEC letter to AEL Anchorage LLC noting that the site work done in June/July 2012 was not done in accordance with the conditionally approved work plan. Due to the size of the contaminated soil excavation and the variability in groundwater flow direction during the April 2012 and July 2012 groundwater monitoring events, the three existing site monitoring wells are not adequate to assess for groundwater contamination at this site. Additional monitoring wells and additional groundwater monitoring events are needed to assess the nature and extent of the groundwater contamination at this site. The Department requests that AEL Anchorage LLC submit a work plan by October 1, 2012 that includes the following: 1. As requested previously, the Dam #3 location needs to be assessed for soil and groundwater contamination. This area has been surveyed in by DOWL Engineers in 1989 and marked on site maps and aerial photos. The Department is requesting that the location of the Dam #3 sampling conducted on September 10, 1996 be accurately identified so those areas can be assessed for soil and groundwater contamination. The work plan needs to include a site map showing the areas to be assessed and survey data used to choose those locations. At least three soil borings completed as monitoring wells are requested to help assess this area. In each boring location analytical soil samples need to be collected at the soil/water interface and other depth deeper than the soil/water interface most likely to be contaminated based on field readings and observations. If soil shallower than the soil/water interface appears more contaminated than the other two depths based on field readings and observations then a third analytical sample will need to be collected from that boring. Each of analytical samples need to be analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The soil sample of the Dam #3 borings most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is also to be analyzed for PAHs. 2. Each of the Dam #3 borings need to be completed as monitoring wells, and have groundwater samples collected and analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The groundwater in the Dam #3 monitoring well most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is to be also be analyzed for PAHs. All of the monitoring wells need to remain for future sampling. 3. For the on property excavation area base and sidewalls, supplemental analytical soil samples need to be collected to complete the assessment of that area in accordance with the conditionally approved remedial action plan. Each of analytical samples need to be analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO, with at least 10 percent of soil samples most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations to be also be analyzed for PAHs, including 10 percent field duplicates for BTEX, GRO, DRO, and PAHs. 4. Additional monitoring wells need to be installed around the perimeter and in the down gradient directions of the on property excavation. These monitoring wells and the existing monitoring wells need to have groundwater samples collected and analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The groundwater sample from the monitoring well in this area most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is to be also be analyzed for PAHs, including a field duplicate for PAHs, BTEX, GRO, and DRO. All of the monitoring wells need to remain for future sampling. 5. The ADEC project manager, Robert Weimer is to be notified at least 3 days prior to when the field work is to be conducted so ADEC staff can have an opportunity to observe the field work. 6. All of the monitoring wells installed need to be surveyed so the groundwater gradient can be determined and be included in the report, along with depth to groundwater measurements. The Department also requests that AEL Anchorage LLC submit by October 1, 2012 documentation for the treatment and disposal of the contaminated water that was removed from the excavation.

9/20/2012	Site Characterization Workplan Approved	The September 2012 Supplemental Sampling Analysis Work Plan (with the figure provided on September 19, 2012) is approved with the following conditions: 1. The monitoring well installation and development needs to be done in accordance with the November 2011 Monitoring Well Guidance and 18 AAC 78. The field notes need to be of sufficient detail to demonstrate this. 2. The field sampling needs to be done in accordance with the May 2010 Draft Field Sampling Guidance and 18 AAC 78. The field notes need to be of sufficient detail to demonstrate this. 3. All monitoring well borings and sidewall borings are to be sampled and logged every 2.5 feet (or continuous) from ground surface. 4. All excavation base boring analytical samples are to be collected from the top 2 feet of native soils below the 2012 backfill. 5. All excavation base boring sample locations with visual or olfactory or PID readings over 1.1 units will be submitted to the lab for analysis. 6. The soil water interface soil sample and the other most likely contaminated depth (based on visual or olfactory or PID readings) will need to be submitted to the lab for analysis from each monitoring well boring and sidewall boring. 7. For the sidewall boring SW26A the total depth needs to be at least 25 feet. 8. All sidewall borings are to be drilled in non 2012 backfilled soils. 9. Only drill cuttings from the 2012 backfill soil can be reused as backfill in the borings. 10. All borings need to be properly backfilled/sealed so they do not create a preferential pathway to groundwater. 11. As per the DEC letter of September 11, 2012 the Dam #3 location needs to be assessed and monitored in the future, and a work plan for that assessment, including a schedule for conducting that work, is to be submitted by October 1, 2012. 12. Additional quarterly groundwater monitoring of all current and future monitoring wells is required. The next quarterly monitoring event for monitoring wells MW-A, MW-B, and MW-C needs to be conducted by October 28, 2012. 13. Based on the results of the assessment and monitoring additional release investigation, corrective action, and monitoring may be required. The work plan proposes installing 5 additional monitoring wells along the perimeter of the 2012 excavation and to sample 20 borings within and along the 2012 excavation area.	Robert Weimer

They did not go deeper than 10 feet in that boring. He will have has consultant submit a plan for the assessment of that area and a plan for the staging and possible on property treatment of excavated contaminated soil next summer. They plan to construct a building on the northeast portion of the property in early 2013. The initial sampling will be for an unknown contaminant.	Robert Weimer
12/3/2012	Site Characterization Workplan Approved	Plan approved to collect two soil samples from a soil boring next to where petroleum odors were found at 10 feet below ground surface in one of the geotechnical borings in the northeast portion of the property. They plan to collect one soil sample from the depth most likely contaminated and one soil sample at a deeper depth to help characterize the vertical extent of the contamination. The soil samples will be for analyzed as an unknown contaminant. They plan to sample on December 3rd or 4th.	Robert Weimer
12/21/2012	Update or Other Action	DEC provided the following comments to the RPs consultant regarding work that still needed to be done to evaluate this site for closure. 1. As we have discussed previously the Dam #3 location is off property to the west of C Street. As per the DEC letter of September 11, 2012 the Dam #3 location needs to be assessed and monitored. A work plan for that assessment, including a schedule for conducting that work, is to be submitted by January 28, 2013. 2. Additional quarterly groundwater monitoring of all monitoring wells for BTEX, GRO, and DRO, depth to groundwater and groundwater flow direction is required. We need at least 4 quarterly groundwater monitoring events from each monitoring well. The next quarterly monitoring event for monitoring wells MW-A through MW-H needs to be conducted by January 28, 2013. 3. Based on the results of the assessment and monitoring additional release investigation, corrective action, and monitoring may be required.	Robert Weimer
1/18/2013	Site Characterization Report Approved	On December 3, 2012 two soil samples were collected from a soil boring next to where petroleum odors were found at 10 feet below ground surface in one of the geotechnical borings in the northeast portion of the property. The soil boring was drilled to 20 feet below ground surface (bgs). Groundwater was encountered at 9.7 feet bgs. Silty sand fill was enountered down to 15 feet bgs, and a moist sandy silt at 15 feet bgs. The soil sample collected at the soil/water interface had a hydrocarbon odor and PID reading of 450 ppm, 0.215 mg/kg benzene, 22.3 mg/kg GRO, 85.2 mg/kg DRO, and 76.0 mg/kg RRO. Detectable PAH's were below cleanup levels, and PCBs, and chlorinated solvents were non-detect. The soil sample collected at 14 feet bgs had PID reading of 0.2 ppm, 0.00483 mg/kg benzene, 0.856 mg/kg GRO, <13.9 mg/kg DRO, and <13.9 mg/kg RRO. PAH's, PCBs, and chlorinated solvents were non-detect. Report approved. Next step is to conduct a release investigation to identify the nature and extent of the soil and groundwater contamination in that area. The DEC is requesting a work plan be submitted by 2/15/2013.	Robert Weimer
6/7/2013	Update or Other Action	DEC sent a request to the RP's consultant and the RP's representative for information regarding the Dam #3 area. DEC had not received the information requested back on October 26, 2012. We need the correct Dam #3 location surveyed in and information from the road project work as to whether any soil was removed from that area for the road work. If soil was removed from the Dam #3 area then to what depth was the soil excavated, and the depth of any fill that was placed in the Dam #3 area after excavation.	Robert Weimer

7/10/2013	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	DEC approves work plan for the decommissioning of the on-property monitoring wells in the area of the diesel contamination excavation. DEC requested that once the well decommissioning has been completed a hardcopy final corrective action report be submitted (as specified in 18 AAC 78.276). The report needs to include documentation on the monitoring well decommissioning and updated Conceptual Site Model (CSM) to reflect current site conditions.	Robert Weimer
7/10/2013	Update or Other Action	RPs consultant provided additional information regarding the former dam#3 locaton. They have reviewed the ADOT as-builts for the C Street construction. Based on the RPs consultant's review it is their opinion that at least 5 feet of the 1989 original ground surface was removed during the roadway's construction. Based on the 1989 diagram the former dam#3 location would be under the paved C Street roadway.	Robert Weimer

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

ADEC reviewed the February 2012 "Sampling and Analysis Work Plan for Property Located at 101 East 100th Avenue" submitted by TELLUS, Ltd. on behalf of AEL Anchorage LLC. The work plan proposes to collect soil and groundwater samples to help assess for remaining contamination for the above referenced site. The work plan as proposed in not approved. The Department requests that AEL Anchorage LLC submit a revised work plan by March 31, 2012 that includes the following modifications: 1. As requested previously, the Dam #3 location must be assessed for soil and groundwater contamination. This area has been surveyed in by DOWL Engineers and marked on site maps and aerial photos. The Department is requesting that the location of the Dam #3 sampling conducted on September 10, 1996 be accurately identified so those areas can be assessed for soil and groundwater contamination. The work plan needs to include a site map showing the areas to be assessed and survey data used to choose those locations. At least three soil borings completed as monitoring wells are requested to help assess this area. In each boring location analytical soil samples need to be collected at the soil/water interface and other depth deeper than the soil/water interface most likely to be contaminated based on field readings and observations. If soil shallower than the soil/water interface appears more contaminated than the other two depths based on field readings and observations then a third analytical sample will need to be collected from that boring. Each of analytical samples are to be analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The soil sample of the Dam #3 borings most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is also to be analyzed for PAHs. 2. Each of the Dam #3 borings are to be completed as monitoring wells, and have groundwater samples collected and analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The groundwater in the Dam #3 monitoring well most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is to be also be analyzed for PAHs. All of the monitoring wells are to remain for future sampling. 3. For the replacement monitoring well area at each boring location analytical soil samples need to be collected at the soil/water interface and the other depth most likely to be contaminated based on field readings and observations. Each of analytical samples are to be analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The soil sample most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations of all of the 3 monitoring well area borings is to be also be analyzed for PAHs, including a field duplicate for BTEX, GRO, DRO, and PAHs. 4. Each of the replacement monitoring well area borings are to be completed as monitoring wells, and have groundwater samples collected and analyzed for BTEX, GRO, and DRO. The groundwater sample from the monitoring well in this area most likely to have the highest contamination based on field readings and observations is to be also be analyzed for PAHs, including a field duplicate for PAHs, BTEX, GRO, and DRO. All of the monitoring wells are to remain for future sampling. 5. No silica gel cleanup is to be conducted on any samples prior to analysis. 6. The three damaged existing monitoring wells will need to be properly decommissioned in accordance with current ADEC guidance. 7. The purge/development water is not approved for disposal on-site. All drill cuttings and purge/development water will need to be properly containerized for treatment and disposal under a separate request. 8. The final report will need to include complete copies of all field notes. 9. The ADEC project manager, Robert Weimer is to be notified at least 3 days prior to when the field work is to be conducted so ADEC staff can have an opportunity to observe the field work. 10. All of the monitoring wells installed need to be surveyed so the groundwater gradient can be determined and be included in the report, along with depth to groundwater measurements.

Site Characterization Workplan Approved

DEC review of May 2012 Remedial Action Work Plan for the property located at 101 East 100th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska. Within this plan, you proposed to excavate contaminated soil from the source area excluding overburdened soil from 0 to 5 feet below ground surface. The excavation area is anticipated to be triangular shaped and is estimated to measure 75 feet by 75 feet by 55 feet. Once hydrocarbon soil is re-encountered with the source area, the excavated impacted material will be loaded directly into side dump trailers and trucked to Alaska Soil Recycling for thermal treatment. Discrete soil sampling procedures will be implemented within the excavation pit and sidewalls to assess whether all contaminated soil has been removed. Collected soil samples slated for laboratory analysis will be analyzed for GRO, DRO, and BTEX. Groundwater monitoring well MW A will be decommissioned and replaced with monitoring well MW A1. All three existing wells will be re-sampled following the well replacement to be analyzed for GRO, DRO, and BTEX. Also requested approval to dispose of investigative derived waste (soil and groundwater). Clean soil and groundwater will be disposed of on-site while contaminated soil drill cuttings will be incorporated into excavated contaminated soil slated to be thermally treated at ASR. The subject work plan is approved under the following conditions: 1. Tellus, Ltd, will adhere to our Laboratory Data and Quality Assurance Policy (Tech Memo 06-002) when collecting and evaluating laboratory analytical data. We posted a technical memorandum on environmental laboratory analytical data requirements at http://www.dec.state.ak.us/spar/csp/guidance/tm_lab_qa.pdf and laboratory data review checklist at http://www.dec.state.ak.us/spar/csp/guidance/lab_checklist.pdf. Please note that the laboratory data review checklist must be completed for every laboratory analytical data deliverable received. Laboratory data deliverables that are missing the chain of custodies and/or sample receipt forms are insufficient to complete the laboratory data review checklist. 2. Tellus, Ltd, will adhere to our November 2011 Monitoring Well Guidance, November 2002 Underground Storage Tank Procedures Guidance and our May 2010 Draft Field Sampling Guidance when conducing site characterization and cleanup. We posted these Guidance’s at http://dec.alaska.gov/spar/guidance.htm#csp. 3. All drill cuttings collected to date will be assumed to be contaminated due to questions regarding the quality/integrity of the soil GRO and BTEX data. These cutting will be incorporated into soil scheduled to be thermally treated at Alaska Soil Recycling. 4. Tellus, Ltd will analyze at least one soil and one groundwater sample for PAHs in accordance with DEC approved methods.

July 2012 Remedial Action Report. Between June 8, 2012 and June 30, 2012 7,629.79 tons of contaminated soil was excavated and hauled off-site for thermal treatment at ASR. The excavation was approximately 14,000 square feet at the surface as of July 2, 2012. The depth of the excavation ranged between 13 feet and 25 feet below ground surface. Approximately 3 feet of clean overburden soil was removed and reused as backfill. Up to 745 mg/kg DRO in the samples collected from the base of the excavation, and up to 2,960 mg/kg DRO in the samples collected from the excavation sidewalls. Additional soil was removed from those areas. 61 analytical samples were collected from the base of the excavation and 51 analytical samples were collected from the sidewalls. One additional analytical sample was collected from each of the 4 locations (2 base and 2 sidewall) that had soil above cleanup levels. Excavation base sampling was not done in accordance with the conditionally approved plan. For an excavation of 14,000 square feet at least 148 field screening locations are required but only 60 were collected. In addition for the two excavation base locations where additional soil was excavated those areas did not have the required base/sidewall field screening and analytical sampling to assess the area excavated. Only one field screening and one analytical sample was collected. The eastern portion (approximately 5,200 square feet) of the excavation base required at least 52 field screening and 21 analytical samples, but had only 13 field screening and 13 analytical samples collected. Sidewall sampling was not done in accordance with the conditionally approved plan. Field screening was not conducted every 10 linear feet of sidewall and not done at multiple depths/areas of most likely contamination. The height of the sidewalls ranged between 13 and 25 feet and no field screening conducted at the soil water interface. Field screening samples were only collected at the depth sampled. There were not analytical samples collected for each 20 foot section of sidewall as required. In addition for the two sidewall locations where additional soil was excavated those areas did not have the required field screening sidewall and analytical sampling to assess the areas excavated. Only one field screening and one analytical sample was collected.

Site Characterization Report Approved

On December 3, 2012 two soil samples were collected from a soil boring next to where petroleum odors were found at 10 feet below ground surface in one of the geotechnical borings in the northeast portion of the property. The soil boring was drilled to 20 feet below ground surface (bgs). Groundwater was encountered at 9.7 feet bgs. Silty sand fill was enountered down to 15 feet bgs, and a moist sandy silt at 15 feet bgs. The soil sample collected at the soil/water interface had a hydrocarbon odor and PID reading of 450 ppm, 0.215 mg/kg benzene, 22.3 mg/kg GRO, 85.2 mg/kg DRO, and 76.0 mg/kg RRO. Detectable PAH's were below cleanup levels, and PCBs, and chlorinated solvents were non-detect. The soil sample collected at 14 feet bgs had PID reading of 0.2 ppm, 0.00483 mg/kg benzene, 0.856 mg/kg GRO, <13.9 mg/kg DRO, and <13.9 mg/kg RRO. PAH's, PCBs, and chlorinated solvents were non-detect. Report approved. Next step is to conduct a release investigation to identify the nature and extent of the soil and groundwater contamination in that area. The DEC is requesting a work plan be submitted by 2/15/2013.

Update or Other Action

DEC sent a request to the RP's consultant and the RP's representative for information regarding the Dam #3 area. DEC had not received the information requested back on October 26, 2012. We need the correct Dam #3 location surveyed in and information from the road project work as to whether any soil was removed from that area for the road work. If soil was removed from the Dam #3 area then to what depth was the soil excavated, and the depth of any fill that was placed in the Dam #3 area after excavation.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

DEC approves work plan for the decommissioning of the on-property monitoring wells in the area of the diesel contamination excavation. DEC requested that once the well decommissioning has been completed a hardcopy final corrective action report be submitted (as specified in 18 AAC 78.276). The report needs to include documentation on the monitoring well decommissioning and updated Conceptual Site Model (CSM) to reflect current site conditions.

Update or Other Action

RPs consultant provided additional information regarding the former dam#3 locaton. They have reviewed the ADOT as-builts for the C Street construction. Based on the RPs consultant's review it is their opinion that at least 5 feet of the 1989 original ground surface was removed during the roadway's construction. Based on the 1989 diagram the former dam#3 location would be under the paved C Street roadway.
