Action Information
| Action Date | Action | Description | DEC Staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10/28/1983 | Update or Other Action | US Army Environmental Hygiene Agency GW Quality Survey No. 38-26-K986-91 Evaluation of Solid Waste Management Units Fort Richardson AK 24 June to 2 July 1991. This survey was performed to evaluate and update the Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU) information contained in Fort Richardson's RCRA Facility Assessment (RFA); to determine which SWMU's require further sampling, investigation, or corrective action; and to identify and evaluate any SWMU's not previously documented. SWKU's Not Previouslv Identified in the RFA. The following SWMU was not in existence or were not discovered during the RFA. This site should be formally added to the SWMU list, and supporting documentation regarding ongoing work or justification for no further action should be provided to the regulator prior to issuance of the permit. TABLE 2. SWMU'S NOT PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED IN THE RFA: Antennae Site (SWMU 125). This site consists of several UST's formerly containing oil and slop fuels. Investigations in 1990 included sampling/analysis of ground water and soils, and additional work will be accomplished if necessary. | Jennifer Roberts |
| 9/21/1993 | Update or Other Action | A.G. letter (Breck Tostevin) to Tamela J. Tobia, OS Judge Advocate for the Army. Letter states that a separate petroleum site compliance agreement should be separate from the CERCLA federal facility agreement. The petroleum site restoration agreement would function as a "two-party agreement" under the FFA. It would track the basic provisions of the UST Agreement but be tailored to the State's contaminated site regulations and would interface with the FFA. All petroleum sites addressed under the Two Party agreement would be reviewed in the final operable unit of the FFA and actions taken would be memorialized in a Record of Decision (ROD) under the FFA. | Louis Howard |
| 10/3/1995 | Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other | Site Assessment Bldg 35750 Tank 85, Fort Richardson, Alaska September 14, 1995 The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation-Defense Facilities Oversight group (ADEC) has received, on September 27, 1995, a copy of the above referenced report for building 35750. Based on the data presented, ADEC concurs that the level C cleanup criteria was not exceeded at tank 85 and will not require further investigation. ADEC considers the site closed. | Louis Howard |
| 10/31/1995 | Site Closure Approved | Staff received a Site Assessment for Bldg. 35750 Tank 55 dated October 4, 1995 on October 27, 1995. Based on the data presented, ADEC concurs that the level C cleanup criteria was not exceeded at tank 55 and will not require further investigation. ADEC considers the site closed. The required analysis for a heating fuel tank that contained nothing but heating fuel is typically 8100M or diesel range organics (ClO-C28). BTEX or TPH analyses are not required for analysis of a typical "DRO" UST. As noted in the results BTEX nor benzene alone were detected above the most stringent criteria (Level A). However, if in the future, additional contamination is discovered at this site, further investigation and/or remedial actions will be requested of the Army by ADEC. ADEC reserves its rights, under 18 AAC 75 Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Control, 18 AAC 78 Underground Storage Tank Regulations and AS 46.03 to require the Army to conduct additional assessment and/or corrective actions in the future, if information indicates the site conditions pose an unacceptable risk to human health, safety, or welfare, or to the environment. The following policy applies for soil regulated under 18 AAC 75 and 18 AAC 78 that is proposed for disposal off site from where it was generated. If the following criteria is met, ADEC approval and/or an institutional control(s) are not required: 1. The soil meets the most stringent Method Two, Migration to Groundwater, Table B2 cleanup level, and the most stringent standards for those chemicals under Table B1; 2. The soil may only be disposed of at any non-environmentally sensitive location in the Under 40" or Over 40" annual precipitation zone; 3. The soil is not placed within 100 feet of water wells, surface waters, and drainage ditches; and 4.The written approval from the landowner of the off-site location is required. The off site disposal of all other soil subject to the site cleanup rules that does not meet the criteria above shall be reviewed by the ADEC project manager in order to determine if the off-site disposal action poses a current or future risk to human health or the environment. The final approval to dispose of soil off site that does not meet the criteria shall be made by the ADEC Section Manager. Terms used in this document have the meaning given in 18 AAC 75.990 including: “environmentally sensitive area” means a geographic area that, in the department's determination, is especially sensitive to change or alteration. | Louis Howard |
