The work plan calls for installing MWs 8 and 9 and sampling them for DRO and RRO. Bill Petrik
5/12/2006 Update or Other Action Reviewed a copy of the GeoEngineers report "results of Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling; March 2006; Jiffy Lube Store No. 2057; anchorage, Alaska" dated 5/10/06, received by the department 5/11/06. Composed a draft letter in response requesting continued quarterly monitoring for DRO and RRO. Water table has dropped to lowest levels since sampling began and consequently DRO and RRO levels shot up to 2,420 and 10,100 respectively. Bill Petrik
5/18/2006 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed the GeoEngineers report Results of Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling, March 2006, Jiffy Lube Store No. 2057, Anchorage, Alaska. DRO and RRO levels are the highest in MW-2 since sampling began. MW-3 could not be sampled due to an ice plug. Requested continued quarterly GW monitoring for DRO and RRO. Three “marginal” monitoring wells will be decommissioned and replaced in the same vicinity with one new MW. Bill Petrik
9/26/2006 Update or Other Action The CSP received a copy of the GeoEngineers report "Results of Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling, June 2006" dated 9/25/06. Bill Petrik
10/6/2006 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other The CSP sent a letter to Shell Oil Products US after review of the "Results of Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling, June 2006, Jiffy Lube Store No. 2057, Anchorage." DRO and RRO contamination above cleanup levels remains on site. Requested continued long-term sampling and reduced monitoring frequency from quarterly to semi-annual during the months of May and October. Requested a CSM and narrative, Laboratory QA\QC Checklist, necessity of duplicate samples to be taken, submitting a blind duplicate, and reminded the responsible party of the departmental Cost Recovery Policy. Bill Petrik
11/13/2006 Update or Other Action CSP staff had a telephone discussion with Jeff Schatz of Delta Environmental in Portland this morning, 503 639-8098. He asked for approval to modify point 4 of the February 15, 2006 GeoEngineers Work Plan for Monitoring Well Installation which calls for drilling two boreholes in conjunction with installation of two monitoring wells. The work plan was approved as is in an ADEC letter dated February 17, 2006. The ground is frozen to 1 – 2 feet and the Shell is very concerned about the presence of buried utilities. In lieu of using a split spoon sampler continuously Mr. Schatz requested approval to use air knifing to 5 feet and then continuous sampling using the split spoon thereafter in each borehole. There would be continuous screening on the way down from the surface and soil samples would be taken at 2.5 feet and 5 feet unless the PID indicated high readings. This modification to the previously ADEC approved work plan was approved by Bill Petrik via phone on 11/13/06. Bill Petrik

6/19/2007 Update or Other Action The CSP received a copy of a cc'd letter to Lori Barnett from Pam Post, Department of Law (DOL), dated 6/14/07 indicating that the DOL received a cost recovery check from the RP. The latest bill to the RP was related to the cost recovery period of 7/16/02 through 5/15/04. Bill Petrik
1/25/2008 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other After review of copies of the Delta Environmental Consultants, Inc. "First Quarter 2007 Groundwater Monitoring Report" dated July 9, 2007 and received by the CSP on 7/13/07, "Second Quarter 2007 Groundwater Monitoring Report" dated 9/7/07 and received by the CSP on 9/13/07, and "Third Quarter 2007 Groundwater Monitoring Report" dated 1/3/08 and received by the CSP on 1/14/08, the Contaminates Sites Program (CSP) sent a letter to the responsible party in response. Long-term monitoring results indicated that there is no decreasing trend in the diesel-range organics and residual-range organics contaminants of concern and generally in uptrends. The letter requested numerous items including: a missing report; correct report errata; laboratory Sample Receipt Checklists be submitted; ground water elevation measurements in all nine monitoring wells; inclusion of a star diagram of all historic ground water flow direction and frequency; addition of three monitoring wells to the sampling regimen; a reduction of the sampling frequency from quarterly to semi-annually; taking a duplicate ground water sample from one well that has historically exhibited the highest contaminant concentrations; clarification of past disposal of investigative derived waste (IDW) water; reminder that approval from the CSP is required prior to transportation of IDW off site; addressing how monitoring wells that needed maintenance was or will be accomplished; submittal to the CSP of a Conceptual Site Model; a clean up work plan within 60 days; indication that qualified people were involved in all site work; and a reiteration of the department’s Cost Recovery Policy. Bill Petrik
8/15/2008 Update or Other Action Received a copy of the Delta Environmental "Work Plan for Additional Site Assessment; Jiffy Lube Facility No. 2057; 3429 Tudor Road; Anchorage, AK; SAP No. 120454; ADEC File No. 2100.26.159;Delta Project No. SAK 3429T1" dated 8/14/08. Bill Petrik
8/27/2008 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed a copy of the Delta Environmental "Fourth Quarter 2007 Groundwater Monitoring Report" dated 1/25/08. December 2007 DRO and RRO levels in MW-2 are below cleanup levels and substantially lower than the 9/07 levels. The levels in MW-3 are 12 percent lower for DRO and 45 percent lower for RRO from the 9/07 levels but are still substantially above the cleanup levels. Bill Petrik
8/27/2008 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed a copy of the Delta Environmental "Response to CSP Letter of January 25, 2008; Former Shell-Branded Station; 3429 Tudor Road; Anchorage, AK; SAP No. 120454; ADEC File No. 2100.26.159; Delta Project No. SAK 3429T1" dated 4/7/08. All of the CSP requests are met in this document or scheduled to be met in the next report from Delta. Bill Petrik
9/9/2008 Site Characterization Workplan Approved Reviewed and sent a letter this date approving the Delta "Work Plan for Additional Site Assessment; Jiffy Lube Facility No. 2057; 3429 Tudor Road; Anchorage, AK; SAP No. 120454; ADEC File No. 2100.26.159;Delta Project No. SAK 3429T1" dated August 14, 2008. Requested a CSM be submitted as an approval condition. Bill Petrik
5/29/2009 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed the "Second Quarter 2008 Groundwater Monitoring Report" and "Third Quarter 2008 Groundwater Monitoring Report; 3429 Tudor Road; Anchorage, AK; Delta Project No. SAK 34-29T-1; SAP No. 120454"; dated August 21, 2008 and November 13, 2008, respectively. RRO and DRO are still above cleanup levels at the site. Continued GW monitoring requested. Use of the static water level in monitoring well MW-3 was eliminated in calculating the groundwater flow direction because it is located in former UST excavation and is probably biasing the results. Consequently, the resulting groundwater flow direction changed from generally west-northwest to north-northeast. Based on the results of the subject reports the CSP sent a letter this date requesting continued groundwater monitoring. The sampling frequency could be reduced to semi-annually instead of quarterly. If you choose to reduce the sampling frequency to semi-annually, the CSP requests that the sampling occurs in May, just after break-up and in September/early October, just before freeze up. Bill Petrik
9/8/2009 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other The Contaminated Sites Program (CSP) sent a letter to the responsible party after review of the "Second Quarter 2009 Groundwater Monitoring Report; Jiffy Lube Facility No. 2057; 3429 Tudor Road; Anchorage, Alaska; Delta Project No. SAK 34-29T-1A" dated 7/23/09, received on 7/30/09. Monitoring wells MW-1 through MW-4, MW-7, MW-9, and MW-10 were sampled including one blind duplicate of MW-3. Work was initiated and completed on 6/9/08. Analytical lab sample results indicated that in MW-2 DRO was ND (<800 ?g/l) and RRO was detected at 2,300 ?g/l which was above the 1,500 ?g/l ADEC 18 AAC 75.345 Table C groundwater cleanup level for RRO. The RRO detection in MW-2 was higher than the prior result (9/08) which was 1,100 ?g/l. The sampling results of MW-3 for DRO and RRO of 1,800 ?g/l and 5,400 ?g/l, respectively, were much higher than the prior event results of ND (<800 ug/l) and 2,800 ?g/l, respectively. Sheen was observed in MW-2 and MW-3 during purging. Laboratory results for ethanol and the five gasoline oxygenates, di-isopropyl ether (DIPE), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME), and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) were all ND except for MTBE which ranged from 3.8 ?g/l in MW-9 to 18 ?g/l in MW-3. This was below the 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup level of 470 ?g/l. The report said that ADEC did not have a cleanup level established for MTBE but the latest regs do have it as previously stated. During the subject sampling event, water levels were measured in monitoring wells MW-1 through MW-7, and MW-9 and MW-10. All wells were similar to last September’s measurements but lower than by no greater than 0.08 feet except for MW-10 which was 0.49 foot lower during this event. MW-1 was higher by 0.07 feet. The groundwater flow direction was calculated to be north-northeast at a gradient of 0.003 feet/foot. The direction and gradient have been consistent during the last three monitoring events. Purge water was stored on site in a 55-gallon drum pending analytical results to determine method of disposal. A completed Laboratory Data Review Checklist was submitted with the subject report. No CSM was submitted despite being previously requested. RRO in MW-2 and both DRO and RRO in MW-3 continue to be measurably detected above cleanup levels since groundwater monitoring began in 2004. A CSP letter dated September 9, 2008 conditionally approved a Delta work plan dated 8/14/08. The work plan called for drilling activities to be conducted in late third quarter 2008 before the ground freezes. If drilling activities are unable to be completed before winter, the drilling activities are proposed to be performed in spring 2009 after the ground thaws. The CSP has no indication that this work was undertaken. The letter requested continued groundwater monitoring and clarification as to whether the work plan dated August 14, 2008 and approved by the CSP on September 9, 2008 was implemented or not. If not, why it was not done and a schedule to perform the related work. The letter also requested a conceptual site model. Bill Petrik
4/5/2010 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed the Delta "Third Quarter 2009 Groundwater Monitoring Report" dated 11/4/09 and received 11/12/09. On 9/16/99 all monitoring wells (MWs) were measured for groundwater (GW) elevation. Water levels are relatively stable in all MWs since 2004 and have risen ~5.5’ since monitoring began in 1994 to 2004 in older MWs. GW flow direction was calculated and was to the northeast at approximately 0.005 feet/foot. MWs 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 10 were sampled for DRO and RRO. MW-2 exceeded the 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup level of 1.1 mg/l for RRO in MW-2 and MW-3 at 2.0 mg/l and 15.0 mg/l, respectively. MW-3 exceeded the 1.5 mg/l DRO cleanup level with a 4.8 mg/l result. These results are within the range of historical results. All other sampling results were ND. Sheen was observed in the purge water of MWs 1, 2, and 3 during the bailing process. Delta conducted a Site Investigation at the site during this quarter which included five soil borings which were converted to temporary MWs. The results of this SI will be submitted under a separate cover. The next monitoring event is scheduled for the 2nd quarter 2010 when MWs 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 will be measured for static water levels and MWs 1, 4, 7, 9, and 10 will be sampled for DRO, RRO, and the five Shell oxygenates. Numerous discrepancies exist in the Laboratory Data Review Checklist. The Chain of Custody Report did not include a recorded cooler temperature but the checklist indicated the cooler temperature within preferred limits. A field duplicate was submitted for lab analysis but not indicated on checklist. The calculated RPD for the precision when comparing the sample from MW-3 and its duplicate is 149% which exceeds the 30% allowable range. The answer in the checklist question indicated that the RPD was within the limits. Bill Petrik
7/20/2010 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed a copy of the Delta Consultants "Second Quarter 2010, Groundwater Monitoring Report" dated 7/13/10 and received 7/19/10. On 5/12/10, monitoring wells MW-1 through MW-7, MW-9, and MW-10 were gauged for water level and monitoring wells MW-1 through MW-4, MW-7, MW-9, and MW-10 were sampled and sent for laboratory analysis for DRO and RRO. DRO were detected above ADEC cleanup levels in the GW sample collected from well MW-3, and its duplicate sample up to 4.6 mg/L. RRO were detected above ADEC cleanup levels in the GW samples collected from wells MW-2, and MW-3 (including duplicate sample), and MW-9 with the maximum result from MW-3 at 10 mg/l, the highest ever noted at the site. In addition, this is the first sampling event for which RRO has been detected above ADEC cleanup levels (or above laboratory method reporting limits) in well MW-9. MW-1 detected RRO at 0.27 mg/l and was its first detection of RRO since sampling began in 1994, although the sampling was intermittent. Depths to GW varied between 7.88 and 9.26’ below the top of casing (TOC). Groundwater flow direction during the time of sampling was to the northeast at an approximate gradient of 0.003 ft/ft. Because the new TOC elevations at MW-9 and MW-10 were not been surveyed due to cutting their tops off after frost heaving, these wells were not included in groundwater gradient calculations. Frost heaving was also noted at wells MW-1, MW-2, and MW-4. These well casings have not yet been repaired, although the TOC elevations at these wells have likely changed. The calculated groundwater gradient for this quarter may have been compromised by the movement of these well casings. Delta notes that this phenomenon may be responsible for what has historically appeared to be an inconsistent groundwater gradient. During the third quarter 2009, Delta conducted a site investigation in which 5 soil borings were installed and converted to temporary monitoring wells. The work was performed in general accordance with Delta's August 14, 2008 Work Plan for Additional Site Assessment. A report detailing the findings of this investigation, along with a Conceptual Site Model (CSM), is underway and will be submitted under separate cover. The next GW monitoring event is scheduled for the 3rd quarter 2010. Monitoring wells MW-1 through MW-4, MW-7, MW-9, and MW-10 will be gauged and sampled for DRO and RRO. Wells MW-5 and MW-6 will be gauged only. The TOCs at wells MW-1, MW-2, and MW-4 will be repaired, and well TOCs will be re-surveyed. RPDs for duplicate sample were 70 for DRO and 76 for RRO but data is still usable. Bill Petrik
9/7/2010 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other The CSP reviewed the Delta Environmental Consultants, Inc. "2010 Conceptual Site Model and Site Assessment Report" and "Additional Site Assessment Report", both dated July 26, 2010. After five years of GW monitoring no trend in the concentrations of DRO or RRO has been established. The latest laboratory analytical results for GW sampling (September 2009) indicated that DRO is more than three times the cleanup level and RRO contamination is nearly fourteen times this level, both of these exceedances are from monitoring well MW-3. In a letter from the CSP in response to its review of these documents, the CSP requested a work plan for additional investigation and GW monitoring and laboratory analysis of DRO, RRO, BTEX (or VOCs in lieu of BTEX), and PAHs. The letter also requested updated versions of the Conceptual Site Model (CSM) components the Human Health (HH) CSM Scoping Form, HHCSM Graphic, and a CSM narrative. Bill Petrik

2/22/2012 Site Characterization Report Approved ADEC reviewed First 2011 Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring dated September 2011. The report shows that groundwater results from seven water samples are below 18 AAC 75.345 cleanup levels for BTEX, PAHs, GRO, RRO and DRO. The May 2011 analytical results for benzene concentrations range from ND to less than .001 mg/L. GRO concentrations range from ND to less than 0.1 mg/L. DRO concentrations range from ND to less than 0.762 and RRO concentrations range from ND to 0.990 mg/L. PAHs concentrations range from ND to less than 0.000943 mg/L. Depth to groundwater was 8.21 to 9.61 feet below ground surface with a historical flow to the north. There is evidence of frost heaving and damage to some well casings, therefore groundwater gradient and flow direction is not accurate. Katrina Chambon
2/22/2012 Site Characterization Report Approved ADEC reviewed Second 2011 Semi-Annual Groundwater Monitoring dated January 2012. The report shows that groundwater results from seven water samples are below 18 AAC 75.345 cleanup levels for BTEX, PAHS, RRO, and DRO. Only one groundwater sample resulted above the clean up level of 1.1 mg/L for RRO. RRO concentrations range from ND to 2.2 mg/L. Contaminants concentrations increased in one of the monitoring well water samples. The October 2011 analytical results for benzene concentrations range from ND to less than .001 mg/L. DRO concentrations range from ND to less than 0.800 mg/L and PAHs concentrations range from ND to less than 0.000943 mg/L. Depth to groundwater was 8.35 to 9.75 feet below ground surface with a historical flow to the north. There is evidence of frost heaving and damage to some well casings, therefore groundwater gradient and flow direction is not accurate. Katrina Chambon

3/19/2013 Site Characterization Report Approved On August 15th and 16th of 2012, groundwater samples were collected from monitoring wells MW-1 thru MW3, MW-7, MW-9 and MW-10. Groundwater samples were analyzed for diesel range organics (DRO); residual range organics (RRO; benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX); and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). No analytes were detected above DEC’s 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup levels.DRO concentrations were < 792 µg/L, RRO concentrations were < 1,000 µg/L and all BTEX constituents were < 1.00 µg/L.PAHs were non-detect Groundwater depths ranged from 8 to 9 feet below ground surface with an approximate gradient of 0.013 feet/foot. Groundwater flow is to the north. Katrina Chambon
4/2/2013 Site Characterization Report Approved On October 24th and 25th of 2012, groundwater samples were collected from monitoring wells MW-1 thru MW4, MW-7, MW-9 and MW-10. Groundwater samples were analyzed for diesel range organics (DRO); residual range organics (RRO); benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX); and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). No analytes were detected above DEC’s 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup levels except for RRO in MW-9. DRO concentrations were < 889 µg/L; RRO concentrations were < 1,000 µg/L; benzene, toluene and ethylbenzene were < 0.50 µg/L; and xylenes were <3.0 µg/L. PAHs were non-detect. MW-9 had an RRO concentration of 5,900 µg/L exceeding its 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup level of 1,100 µg/L. BTEX concentrations are considered biased low due to inappropriate bottles being used. The consultant noted that MW-9 was missing its J-plug which is could be the likely source of the contamination. Groundwater depths ranged from 8 to 11 feet below ground surface with an approximate gradient of 0.013 feet/foot. Groundwater flow is to the north. Katrina Chambon

Groundwater samples were analyzed for diesel range organics (DRO); residual range organics (RRO); benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX); and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). No analytes were detected above 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup levels except for RRO in MW-9. DRO concentrations were < 889 µg/L; RRO concentrations were < 1,000 µg/L; benzene, toluene and ethylbenzene were < 0.50 µg/L; and xylenes were <3.0 µg/L. PAHs were non-detect. MW-9 had an RRO concentration of 5,900 µg/L exceeding its 18 AAC 75.345 Table C cleanup level of 1,100 µg/L. BTEX concentrations are considered biased low due to inappropriate bottles being used. The consultant noted that MW-9 was missing its J-plug which is could be the likely source of the contamination. Groundwater depths ranged from 8 to 11 feet below ground surface with an approximate gradient of 0.013 foot/foot. Groundwater flow is to the north. CSP Response CSP requests that MW-9 be sampled and analyzed for DRO and RRO to confirm that missing J-plug was the likely source of contamination. CSP also suggests that you may want to discuss with your consultant potential closure for this site. There are several issues that need addressing, including findings at MW-9, however, we are available for any discussion on potential closure for this site. Katrina Chambon

4/4/2014 Site Visit Site visit to observe groundwater sampling; however, monitoring well MW-9 is damaged from frost heaving. This has been an ongoing issue with several of the groundwater monitoring wells for the last couple of years. Katrina Chambon
6/17/2014 Site Visit On this day the CSP performed a site visit to observe groundwater sampling. The CSP observed purging and sampling of Monitoring Wells MW1 and MW9. During purging, the bladder pump was lowered to roughly 0.5 foot below the soil/water interface, and at least three well volumes were removed prior to sampling. All sampling was performed in accordance with Alaska Regulations 18AAC75 and the Draft Field Sampling Guidance. Joshua Barsis
1/14/2015 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed Second, Third, and Fourth Quarter 2014 Groundwater Monitoring Reports: Four groundwater monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and MW-9) were sampled for diesel range organics (DRO) and residual range organics (RRO) in June of 2014. Monitoring Well MW-9, which is the most contaminated well, exhibited a concentration of RRO at 2.520 milligrams per liter (mg/l). Monitoring Well MW-9 was sampled again in August and October 2014. Analytical results for DRO and RRO were below ADEC groundwater cleanup levels from the August and October sampling events. Groundwater flow direction varied during each sampling event from southeast in June, northwest in August, and south-southwest in October. Joshua Barsis
