Action Information

Action Date Action Description DEC Staff
5/22/1992 Leaking Underground Storage Tank Release Confirmed - Petroleum LUST Site created in CSP for source area ID 76920 ADD; Former Staff
5/22/1992 Site Added to Database Former Staff
5/23/1992 Leaking Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Initiated - Petroleum LCAU; Thomas reported: During tank closure, D&M directed the removal of 60 yards of contaminated soils, that were later thermally remediated. : LCAU date changed DB conversion Former Staff
5/29/1992 Underground Storage Tank Site Characterization or Assessment SA1R; Assessment of matrix score is questioned. Extent of contamination in tri-compartment tank on east edge needs to be determined. Ltr. outlining these points sent to Harry Hutchinson 5/29/92. Former Staff
7/1/1992 Release Investigation RELR; By Gibler: Numerous phone conversations w/Kathryn Lamal of Dames & Moore led to 7-1-92 letter making clear ADEC considers matrix score of 10 for both the depth to subsurface water and the soil type is the only reasonable evaluation for this site. Former Staff
2/23/1993 Update or Other Action MEET; Gibler met with K. Lamal of D&M and Harry Hutchison to reach agreement on principle points of workplan: 4 monitroing wells, 2 soil borings firm - 2 in reserve, off site historical survey, biovent and vapor recovery options for remediation depending on extent of contmination. 5th monitoring well rejected. Former Staff
3/31/1993 Leaking Underground Storage Tank Corrective Action Underway CAPR; CAP approved. Plan essentially as agreed to in meeting of Feb. 23, '93. Continued release investigation with soil borings and monitor well installation is part of plan. Remedial action details are dependent on release investigation results. Former Staff
7/14/1993 Release Investigation SA2; Thomas: D&M submitted Release investigation report summarizing findings and recommendations. No apprecable soil cont found except at depth in B-3 (220 ppm DRPH/310 ppm GRPH). Benzene found in MW-1,2, 4 and S-1 above MCL (85, 29, 62, 150 ppb). No Benzene in MW-3, where source was thought to eminate from. Groundwater flow measures twice 7/93 and 8/93 and showed shift from north to west. Also, 15 possible sources of contam. noted within 1/4 mile radius, 4 up gradient. Recommended implementing Conditional Task 9 to expand sampling points Former Staff
12/22/1993 Update or Other Action CORR; Thomas reviewed and approved D&M work plan for installed three additional monitor wells, surveying wells, sampling all existing monitor wells, and submitting report of findings and recommendations. Also met with Mr. Hutchison today who agreed to implement plan. Former Staff
1/9/1994 Update or Other Action RPL2; Peterson sent PRP-CS Database Notification Letter to RP requesting update and more environmental information concerning contaminated site. RP rec'd letter, but as of this "complete date" no response. Former Staff
3/25/1994 Update or Other Action CORR; Thomas responded to Mr. Hutchison's written request that we consider modifying his work plan. Thomas responded by allowing the proposed sample plan to be limited to one quarter, and reduce MWs from 3 to 2. Need more data to determine issues of off-site sources and extent of contamination within the property. Former Staff
3/25/1994 Update or Other Action UPD; Thomas reviewed file and updated file. Former Staff
6/6/1994 Update or Other Action CORR; Wingerter sent letter informing RP of their financial liability under new ADEC cost recovery policy. State is authorized, under Section 9003(h) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to take action on this LUST facility. Former Staff
1/20/1995 Update or Other Action UPD; SITE SUMMARY: USTs removed in 92, along with contaminated soils. GW impact present in moderate levels. GW investigation revealed impact in two seperate areas, possbily indicating an off-site source. DEC may forgo GW treatment if the 1994-95 sampling program reveals declining BTEX levels. GW report due in March 1995. Former Staff
12/1/1995 Leaking Underground Storage Tank Corrective Action Underway LCAR; Levels of benzene in monitoring wells declining. Revised sampling effort in order Former Staff
11/20/1997 Update or Other Action ADEC sends Notification of Intent to Cost Recover Letter to Current Owner: HARRY L. HUTCHISON Former Staff
7/1/1999 Institutional Control Record Established ADEC sent a no further action letter for the Hutchison's Service Station. The closure is based on a risk assessment so the site will have a conditional closure determination. Deborah Williams
7/1/1999 Conditional Closure Approved ADEC issued a no further action letter by Steve Bainridge based on a risk assessment. Deborah Williams
1/28/2004 Update or Other Action Transferred DEC staff lead from John Carnahan Cynthia Pring-Ham
9/21/2012 Update or Other Action Staff changed from Robert Weimer to IC Unit. Kristin Thompson
10/21/2015 Institutional Control Compliance Review Preliminary review conducted. A signed copy of the closure letter and a copy of the risk assessment is needed in order to complete the closure section details. The information has been requested from the Fairbanks office. The reminder system has been scheduled. Evonne Reese
1/5/2016 Institutional Control Update Updated the Affiliates record with the current property owner's contact information. The necessary documents needed to evaluate for removing the IC requirements were located and the No Further Action letter has been attached to this database record. Evonne Reese
1/5/2016 Cleanup Complete Determination Issued This site meets the current closure policy requirements therefore ICs can be removed from the database record. The standard conditions still apply to this property. They are 1) any proposal to transport soil or groundwater off-site requires ADEC approval in accordance with 18 AAC 78.600(h). (A “site” [as defined by 18 AAC 75.990 (115)] means an area that is contaminated, including areas contaminated by the migration of hazardous substances from a source area, regardless of property ownership) and 2) Movement or use of contaminated material in a manner that results in a violation of 18 AAC 70 water quality standards is prohibited. This determination is in accordance with 18 AAC 78.276(f) and does not preclude ADEC from requiring additional assessment and/or cleanup action if future information indicates that this site may pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment.
