10/31/1995 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Staff reviewed and commented on the Site Assessment Tank 1113 Bldg 35750, Fort Richardson, Alaska October 9, 1995 The Department of Environmental Conservation-Defense Facilities Oversight group (DEC) has received, on October 27,1995, a copy of the above referenced report. ADEC concurs that the level B cleanup criteria was exceeded at UST 1113 and will require further investigation to delineate the vertical and horizontal extent of the contamination at the site prior to implementing corrective action. Please note, if there is enough information present from the site assessment and prior environmental work at Fort Richardson (i.e. the RIlFS or SFRERA work) to undertake corrective action, then there is no need to conduct a site assessment prior to implementing a corrective action at the site. Prior approval is required to implement corrective action. ADEC looks forward to receiving a copy of the workplan for the release investigation with schedules of action for review and comment no later than February 1996. Louis Howard

8/13/1998 Underground Storage Tank Site Characterization or Assessment On Aug 13, 1998, the ADEC received a copy of the UST site assessment report for Bldg. 35-750 Tank 85A (July 1998 OSC, Inc.). Former Staff
3/10/1999 Site Closure Approved Tim Stevens (ADEC) issued a letter to the U.S. ARMY stating no further cleanup is required at the 1,000 gallon used oil UST Alternate ID 85A located on the east side of Bldg. 35-750 Fac. ID 0-000788 ADEC Tank# 16 Event ID 2275. The Department of Environmental Conservation (Department) has reviewed the site assessment report it received on August 13, 1998, documenting the closure of the above mentioned underground storage tank (UST). The report summarizes the information collected during closure of the 1000-gallon UST that was used to store used oil at Building 35-750. Since, both the UST closure and the site assessment report were completed prior to the adoption of the January 22, 1999 regulations, the Department conducted its review of the site assessment report using the November 3, 1995 regulations, in effect at the time of the closure. Based on the information and laboratory data presented in the site assessment document, no further action is required by the Department. Please note, the Department believes the consultant errored in assigning a matrix score of 26 for this site. Based on the volume of excavated contaminated soil (20 cy later used to backfill the UST excavation), and the unknown volume of contaminated soil left in place at the bottom of the UST excavation, a matrix score range of 28-31 is more appropriate. A matrix score of 28-31equates to a category “B” site, which has more stringent cleanup standards than a category “C” site. However, since the levels of contamination found were below category “B” cleanup standards, the change in the matrix score does not alter the Department’s decision for no further action required. In the future, should contaminated soil or groundwater be discovered on site that exceeds state cleanup standards, appropriate site assessment and cleanup would be required in accordance with applicable State regulations.
