Action Information

Action Date Action Description DEC Staff
6/12/1991 Update or Other Action June 1991 RCRA HW Mgt. Compliance Evaluation Report received. In the past year, various facilities or personnel have used Fort Richardson's EPA ID Number in peculiar or inappropriate manners. The U.S. Army National Guard in Bethel, Alaska (AK7211890051) wrote in their 1990 Annual Report that they sent their spent lithium batteries to Building 45-125, but then used Elmendorf's EPA ID Number. Upon calling Bethel, Sargent Tikiun there clarified that they shipped their waste to DRMO on Elmendorf, and not to Building 45-125 on Fort Richardson. The Army Aviation support Facility in Building 47-427 on Fort Richardson sent in their own 1990 Annual Report as though the EPA ID Number AK1210022157 was issued exclusively to this one building and not to Fort Richardson as one large, whole facility. See Appendix F. The annual report for the entire facility was received on April 25, 1991 from Ms. Scott. Louis Howard

10/31/1995 Update or Other Action 1,000 gallon aviation gasoline underground storage tank removed from the site. Field screening detected a release to the site soils which was confirmed by laboratory analysis. Extent of contamination was confined to non-native fill located immediately around the tank. Groundwater is 60 feet below the deepest point of soil contaminantion and has not been affected by this release. Soil samples from the excavation pit bottom and walls indicate a successful cleanup in excess of the most stringent requirements, and contaminated soil is being thermally treated to appropriate standards.
