Reviewed the Groundwater Sampling Report for September 2008, dated December 1, 2008 from G-Logics for Paul Horwath. Groundwater concentrations have been improving over the course of the last three years of sampling events. All of the monitoring wells tested during this sampling event had decreased in concentrations other than MW-1 which had an increase in DRO. |

Reviewed the Environmental Sampling and Remediation Chignik Pride Fisheries, dated August 24, 2007, from G-Logics for Paul Horwath and provided him a summary for his review and oversight. Soil and groundwater concentrations remain above the cleanup levels at six areas of the facility. The Former UST Tank location, West of the Warehouse Building, East of the Generator Building, South of the Generator Building, the area Beneath the Galley/Bunkhouse AST, and the New Existing Soil Treatment Cell. Future groundwater monitoring needs to be performed in order to determine the successfulness of the remediation treatments performed at the site, with the possibility of additional treatments in order to remediate the remaining contamination. Also, Treatment Cell monitoring should be conducted to verify the successful bioremediation of the soils prior to their future reuse on the property. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Reviewed the Soil and Groundwater Sampling 2010 report, dated September 29, 2010, from G-Logics. During the August 2010 soil and groundwater sampling the groundwater quality has improved significantly from the 2008 sampling with eight monitoring wells testing undetected for all analytes and two wells detecting DRO below the groundwater cleanup levels. The soil treatment cell sampling indicated that DRO soil contamination remains within the treatment cell at concentrations of 370 to 2,000 mg/kg. Test Pit samples were taken in the area of Eagle Rock Bunkhouse with results showing DRO and Benzene soil contamination remaining at 7 and 8 feet below ground surface with the more impacted soils appearing to be beneath the bunkhouse. The once thought two chamber 400-gallon capacity now understood to be a one chamber tank of approximately 1,000-gallon capacity UST was closed in place. The facility is occupied year round with the majority of personnel present during the summer processing months. Electrical power is provided by the City of Chignik and the consideration of running the soil treatment cell during the winter is under consideration. The former cannery concrete pad is now being used for storage of frozen fish in refrigeration containers prior to off-site shipment. The containers are moved by a large forklift, and it is thought that any monitoring wells installed in this area to further identify the soil and groundwater contamination in this area may likely be destroyed or damaged. |

Underground Storage Tank Site Characterization or Assessment |
Reviewed the September 29, 2010 Soil and Groundwater Sampling 2010 report, prepared and provided by G-Logics, and based on our review of this report, as well as prior release investigation and corrective action reports for this facility, we are satisfied that the environment surrounding the 1,000-gallon single compartment underground storage tank which was closed in place on August 7, 2010 has been adequately assessed. Specifically, a sufficient number of soil and groundwater samples have been collected in the near vicinity of this closed in-place UST to satisfy the regulatory requirements of 18 AAC 78.090. Site Characterization and assessment. No further release investigation or corrective action work is required in association with this specific UST (the UST that was closed in place on August 7, 2010). |

Reviewed the Groundwater Sampling 2011 Report, dated October 25, 2011, from G-Logics. On August 17, 2011 four test pits were advanced down-gradient of MW-9 with four groundwater monitoring wells being installed in the area of the former generator room, cold storage and processing facility to further evaluate the soil and groundwater contamination down-gradient of MW-9. DRO soil contamination was encountered within one of the test pits at 22,800 mg/kg at 8.5 feet below ground surface and 1,950 mg/kg at 12 feet below ground surface within one of the test pits. Groundwater sampling was conducted within the sites monitoring wells and the newly installed monitoring wells with RRO being detected for the first time in MW-5 located west of the warehouse building at 1.310 mg/L and DRO within the newly installed monitoring well MW-14 located down-gradient of MW-9 within the Former Generator Room area at 2.680 mg/L. The depth to groundwater was from 6.72 to 9.49 feet bgs, and groundwater flow was towards the north-northeast with a tidal influence within the area of MW-11. Two of the supply wells were sampled, SW-Production and SW-Chignik International with RRO being detected at 0.180 mg/L within SW-Chignik International. The treatment cell was inspected and was found to have various holes in the HDPE fabric and sags in the piping. The holes were patched with HDPE fabric and the piping was adjusted and supports were installed to prevent sagging. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Provided Review comments on the 2011 Groundwater Sampling report for Trident Seafoods - Chignik site by e-mail communications. The following comments were provided. 1) We would like the four (4) recently installed groundwater monitoring wells (MWs 13-16) to be sampled again when G-Logics’ staffs return to this site for the sampling of the soil treatment cell.
2)MW-5 should also be sampled again, since RRO was detected in MW-5 for the first time, and at a concentration slightly exceeding our groundwater cleanup level.
3)We noted that no ADEC Laboratory Data Review Checklist was submitted with the Groundwater Sampling, 2011 report. Please be sure to provide this required checklist in future reports.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Reviewed the 2012 Bioremediation Cell & Groundwater Sampling Report, dated March 21, 2013, prepared by G-Logics. On September 13th through 17th, 2012 the biocell was sampled using Multi-Increment soil sampling. The biocell was designated as a single decision unit and divided into 48 equal sections. An aliquot sample was collected from each section and composited to create a single soil sample for analysis, as well as a duplicate and triplicate aliquot samples were collected from each section. Sample results detected DRO at 1,640 mg/kg to 1,830 mg/kg and Benzene at 0.0365 mg/kg to 0.0525 mg/kg. Groundwater monitoring wells MW-13 through MW-16 and MW-5 were sampled on September 16, 2012. Only MW-14 detected DRO above the groundwater cleanup levels at 6.12 mg/L. Currently the site and the Chignik community obtain their drinking water from the Indian Creek reservoir. The reservoir was built in 1947 and currently is operated by Trident/NorQuest. The three onsite supply wells are no longer being used. |

Reviewed the Cleanup Action Report, dated December 19, 2013, prepared by G-Logics. In September of 2013 a temporary containment cell was constructed on the concrete slab of the former cannery building for placement of contaminated soils to be excavated during the September 2013 cleanup actions. The vicinity of MW-14 was excavated by first removing the concrete pad of the former building. The excavated contaminated soil was placed in the newly constructed temporary containment cell. The building footings could not be removed with the available equipment, therefore left in place. Clean soils were present at a depth of approximately 13 feet bgs, where excavation was halted. One sample ESW2-8 detected DRO at 22,100 mg/kg at a depth of 8 feet below ground surface along the east sidewall. These soils could not be removed due to the existing structures. Piping was installed around the perimeter of the excavation for future Fenton’s reagent injections if needed, and then backfilled with soils from the former treatment cell. The vicinity of TP-12, TP-13, TP-14, TP-15, TP-20 and TP-21 were excavated to depths of one to four feet below ground surface, with confirmation soil samples remaining below the ADEC direct contact soil cleanup levels. These excavated soils were placed into the temporary containment cell on site. Groundwater monitoring wells MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-5, MW-6, MW-7, MW-10, and MW-11 were decommissioned and wells MW-14 and MW-15 were removed during the excavation activities performed in 2013. Four groundwater monitoring wells MW-8, MW-9, MW-13 and MW-16 remain and will be removed during the removal of the additional soil at concentrations above the ADEC direct contact levels. |
