Reviewed the 2008 Groundwater Monitoring and LNAPL Recovery Report, dated September 24, 2009, from OASIS Environmental for Paul Horwath. The groundwater sampling results indicates that concentration and migration trends are not changing at the site. The laboratory analytical results for DRO and Benzene and a Mann-Kendall statistical trend analysis confirm a stable plume and a slightly downward trend in DRO and Benzene concentrations. The surface water samples taken to the west of the pad detected only Toluene and only one sample detected above the groundwater quality standards. Of the three surface soil samples taken to the west of the pad, all three samples detected DRO above the soil cleanup levels, and one sample detected Toluene above the soil cleanup levels. The data results for the continuous groundwater level monitoring indicated that the lowest groundwater levels were mid to late March and the highest groundwater levels were in mid October. The data results for the groundwater levels and LNAPL thickness monitoring indicated that seven monitoring wells had a measurable product of 0.3 feet or greater. The data results of the LNAPL Baildown Testing indicated that of the eleven tests conducted, only one, completed at monitoring well MW-21 in February 2008 resulted in a recovery rate exceeding the minimal effective recovery rate of 0.005 gallons per hour within a 12-hour period. The total amount of free product recovery at the site to date using the High-Vacuum Extraction System and Petropore Passive Skimmers is approximately 843 gallons. |

Reviewed the 2010 Groundwater Monitoring Summary, dated April 14, 2011, from OASIS Environmental. The groundwater sampling results indicates stable concentrations within the sampled wells; however the amount of measureable product within the wells containing product has increased with product thickness from 0.01 to 2.1 feet of product. Three surface water samples were taken to the west of the pad, with one sample detecting total aqueous hydrocarbons and total aromatic hydrocarbons exceeding the Alaska’s water quality standards at 0.015 mg/L. Three surface soil samples were taken to the west of the pad, with two samples detected DRO above the soil cleanup levels, at 430 mg/kg and 560 mg/kg. |

Reviewed the 2011 Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring Report, Kenai Gas Field Pad 14-6, dated April 11, 2012, prepared by OASIS Environmental. The 2011 surface water sampling was conducted on October 16, 2011 from samples SW-1 through SW-8, and the groundwater monitoring event was performed on October 24, 2011 through October 27, 2011. Monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-13, MW-14, MW-15, MW-21, MW-33 and MW-41 were not sampled due to the presence of LNAPL. Surface water sample SW-1 detected Toluene at 0.0015 mg/L, and surface water sample SW-8 also detected Toluene at 0.0023 mg/L. All other surface water samples did not detect any of the analytes. Product thickness increased by 0.03 to 3.16 feet and in two wells a decrease in thickness was seen by 0.31 to 0.57 feet within MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-13, MW-14, MW-15, MW-21, MW-41, RW-1 and RW-2. DRO concentrations ranged from Non-detect to 26 mg/L in sampled wells, and benzene ranged from Non-detect to 0.011 mg/L in sampled wells. |

Reviewed the 2012 Groundwater Monitoring, Surface Water Monitoring, and LNAPL Delineation Report, dated January 15, 2013, prepared by Weston Solutions. The 2012 surface water sampling was conducted on September 24, 2012, and the groundwater monitoring event was performed on September 18, 2012 through September 25, 2012. The Retention Basin Temporary Well Points were installed and gauged on May 25, 2012 through August 31, 2012. Monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-13, MW-14, MW-15, MW-21, MW-33, MW-41, RW-1 and RW-2 were not sampled due to the presence of LNAPL. Monitoring well MW-17 was not sampled because it was frost heaved. Surface water sample SW-7 detected Toluene at 0.0018 mg/L, with PAH’s being detected in all the surface water samples. All surface water samples evaluated for TAH and TAqH met the surface water quality standards. Product thickness in wells ranged from 0.03 to 5.47 feet in gauged wells. The DRO concentrations ranged from non-detect to 27 mg/L and Benzene concentrations ranged from non-detect to 0.036 mg/L. Results of the Retention Basin LNAPL Evaluation performed in the thirty-three temporary well points gauged a total of 6 times between June 2, and August 31, 2012, along with wells MW-4, MW-27, MW-29, MW-33, MW-40 and MW-41 showed that TP-30 had 0.03 feet of product on 6-2-12, and 0.01 feet on 6-14-12 and 8-9-12, TP-17 had 0.01 feet on 6-2-12, and the monitoring wells gauged showed that MW-33 had 0.03 to 0.24 feet of product and MW-41 had 2.36 to 3.35 feet of product. |

Reviewed the 2019 KGF Groundwater Monitoring Program Report. The elimination of KGF14-6 monitoring wells MW-1, MW-3, MW-14, MW-15 and MW-21 removed the ability to monitor or estimate the concentration of several feet of free product hydrocarbon on the KGF 14-6 pad. Historical data for these monitoring wells should be maintained in the data tables, along with well locations on the maps to aid in the understanding of future impacts and to the understanding of pad dynamics.

The elimination of KGF14-6 monitoring wells MW-1, MW-3, MW-14, MW-15 and MW-21 removed the ability to monitor or estimate the concentration of free product hydrocarbon on the KGF 14-6 pad. Require that historical data for these monitoring wells should be maintained in the data tables, along with well locations on the maps to aid in the understanding of potential future impacts and the understanding of pad conditions. Toluene has been detected in all of the surface water sampling locations. Toluene is a component of contamination at the site, but no other components are present in the surface water. This does seem like an anomaly. Hilcorp should consider sampling surficial pore water within the surface peat to determine if contaminates are present. |

Reviewed 2023 Groundwater Monitoring Program Draft Work Plan Addendum and did not approve the Kenai Gas field plan for 2023. The KGF 14-6 plan was not approved because DEC will require the addition of an analyte, 1,4 Dioxane to four monitoring wells. This testing is to determine if historical glycol releases have impacted groundwater that is moving to the wetlands. 1,4 Dioxane is a degradation product of both ethylene and propylene glycol. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Meet with Hilcorp to discuss 2024 cathodic protection actions that will involve trenching across 14-6. Hilcorp presented the planned pathway of the trenches. Discussed potential areas of significant soil and groundwater impacts in the trenching path. Hilcorp plans on managing excavation with the same methods established in previous digs. Excavate soils and place next to open trench. If grossly impacted soils are encountered notify DEC. Place impacted soils back into excavation in the order they were removed from the ground ("dirty soils first in and covered with clean soils"). Water will be sent to the Grind and Inject facility. If significant product is encountered, they have been advised to berm the source area trench to stop product from moving over the entire trench. A construction report has been requested to document impacts. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Meeting with Hilcorp (Ferris and Peloza) to discuss TAH TAqH impacts to the wetlands that are driven by Toluene that is know one of the main components of gas condensate. It may be peat and vegetation that are driving lab detections that might be resolved by running silica gel cleanup. Discussed increased sampling for 1,4-Dioxane and possible replacing monitoring wells that had historical separate phase hydrocarbons to give a better perspective on the hydrologic risks of free phase product. |
