Underground Storage Tank Site Characterization or Assessment |
Tank removal site assessment report. Two 1,000 gallon diesel tanks and one 1,000 gallon leaded gasoline tank was removed. The three tanks were installed in 1981. Up to 12,000 mg/kg DRO, 5,900 mg/kg GRO, and 41 mg/kg benzene left in the former tank excavation. The west side of the excavation was were the piping and dispensing equipment was located. Only one excavation sample was analyzed for lead had 9.2 mg/kg. No PAH samples were collected. Highest concentrations were at 5.8 feet below ground surface at the soil/water interface. Excavation water at 6 feet below ground surface had 790 ug/l benzene, it was not analyzed for GRO, DRO, PAH, or lead. Four stockpile samples were collected had up to 0.35 mg/kg benzene, 520 mg/kg GRO, 890 mg/kg DRO, and 12.3 mg/kg lead. The stockpile is stored on the property and later was used as backfill in the tank excavation without DEC approval. |

On May 8, 2001 and September 11, 2001 soil samples were collected from the former tank excavation and the soil stockpile. Up to 84 mg/kg GRO, 170 mg/kg DRO, and 0.0173 mg/kg benzene at the locations sampled. |

Update or Other Action |
DEC letter that base on the samples collected the stockpile is approved for use as backfill in the excavation at the the site. The letter notes that a former monitoring well on the northern edge of the property had standing water at 4.3 feet below ground surface (bgs) in 2001, and that groundwater was encountered int he tank excavation at 6 feet bgs in 1991. In 1991 the groundwater in the excavation was sampled and found to be contaminated over groundwater cleanup levels. The nature and extent of the groundwater contamination at this site needs to be defined before this site can be considered for closure. The DEC request installation of a monitoring well to assess groundwater in accordance with the conditionally approved August 20, 2001 work plan. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
On August 30, 2002 a monitoring well was installed within the limits of the former underground storage tanks excavation. A groundwater sample was collected on September 3, 2002. Depth to groundwater was 1 foot below ground surface. Up to 3.6 mg/l GRO, 3.2 mg/l DRO, and 160 ug/l benzene in the groundwater. The monitoring well has a screened interval from 4 to 9 feet below ground surface. The sample results may be biased low due to the screened interval being below the groundwater surface. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Discussed site status with current company owner and operator (Marvin Lee). He has owned the company since May 2005, and was manager of the property for several years before then. We discussed the DEC letter of March 24, 2003, which identified that there was groundwater contamination above cleanup levels and requested further groundwater sampling and additional monitoring wells to help define the extent and direction of the groundwater contamination. He will contact an environmental consultant to sample the existing monitoring well and to provide a workplan for the additional monitoring wells. I requested that he have his consultant contact me about the groundwater monitoring before they do it. |

Cleanup Complete Determination Issued |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Contaminated Sites Program (ADEC) has completed a review of the environmental records associated with the Baileys Rent-All Site located at 6871 Old Seward Highway in Anchorage. Based on the information provided to date, it has been determined that the contaminant concentrations remaining on site do not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment and no further remedial action will be required unless new information becomes available that indicates residual contaminants may pose an unacceptable risk. This Cleanup Complete determination is based on the administrative record for the Baileys Rent-All, which is located in the ADEC office in Anchorage, AK. This decision is based on the site history and cleanup actions and levels and standard site closure conditions that apply. |
