Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Staff participated in a technical project planning meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers to discuss the proposed scope, objectives, and draft quality assurance project plan for a proposed UVOST site investigation scheduled for 2010. The main objective of this proposed site investigation is to determine the extent of potential petroleum contamination associated with two underground storage tanks (one 20,000-gallon and one 10,000-gallon) as well as an unconfirmed 1,500-gallon above-ground storgage tank. A comprehensive, site-wide investigation is planned for the future. |

Site Visit |
Staff conducted a site visit and inspection of the launch facility and other adjacent Goose Bay Nike facility sites with the Army Corps of Engineers. Significant vandalism and tresspassing has continued to occur on the site over the years as was apparent from the extensive graffiti, discarded trash and household appliances, and extensive amounts of spent small arms ammunition shells dispersed site wide.
During the site inspection, both the 10,000- and 20,000-gallon underground storage tanks were located. The 20,000-gallon tank manhole was removed, and extensive trash, including several drums had been thrown inside. There were no olfactory or visual observations of fuel contamination. The unconfirmed 1,500-gallon above-ground storage tank could not be located, however a suspect vertical stem of piping was observed in the suspected location. The investigation will also characterize the machine and maintenance shop, and a limited number of UVOST probes will be advanced adjacent to the launch pads and bunkers. |

CERCLA SI |
Staff reviewed and approved variations to the 2011 UVOST site investigation sampling and analysis plans as proposed by the Army Corps of Engineers. Proposed variations involved 10 soil samples that normally would have been collected for laboratory analysis for the purpose of generating a correlation between the UVOST and laboratory results. However, since no significant fuel signature detections were observed throughout the investigation, ADEC approved the Corps' proposal to eliminate the correlation sampling and instead collect 10 discrete soil samples for full suite analysis in order to obtain further characterization of surface soils associated with the under ground and above ground storage tanks and the two missle storage bunker locations. (note: although petroleum is not a CERCLA-contaminant, the Corps of Engineers is addressing this under the CERCLA CON-HTRW process) |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC received the Property Assessment and Cleanup Plan for the Goose Bay Nike Missile Site and Launch Control Area and Landfill. Site reconnaissance and sampling took place on the Launch Control Area on October 30 and November 2, 2009 and at the landfill on November 3, 2009. Based on the information collected during the property assessment, Oasis identified the following potential source and source areas at the Launch Control Area:
remaining fuel storage tanks (USTs and ASTs); illegally dumped debris, including potential contamination associated with vehicles, drums, paint cans, and construction debris; ACM; floor drain outlets; lead in berms near concentrated shooting areas; septic tank and associated leach field; sumps associated with Launching Structures #1 and #2; and petroleum contaminated soil (stained soil areas) associated with abandoned vehicles and equipment. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Staff participated in a technical project meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers to plan the scope and remedial objectives of the proposed 2011 CON-HTRW project which involves the removal and off site disposal of under ground storage tanks and associated soils that may be potentially contaminated. (note: although petroleum is not a CERCLA-contaminant, the Corps of Engineers is addressing this under the CERCLA CON-HTRW process). |
Curtis Dunkin |
| 6/1/2011 |
CERCLA SI |
Staff approved the final 2011 UVOST site investigation report after submitting draft comments and reviewing and accepting responses to ADEC comments. Results of the investigation indicate that soil adjacent to the underground storage tanks is not contaminated above ADEC cleanup levels. A tank removal action is planned for 2011 that will involve further sampling during tank removal to determine if contaminated soil exists directly beneath the footprint of the tanks; which was not accessible by the UVOST probe during the site investigation. (note: although petroleum is not a CERCLA-contaminant, the Corps of Engineers is addressing this under the CERCLA CON-HTRW process) |
Curtis Dunkin |

CERCLA Remedial Design/Remedial Action Plan Approved |
Staff reviewed and submitted comments on the draft 2011 removal action work and sampling and analysis plans. After receiving and reviewing responses to comments, staff approved the final work and sampling plans. 2011 remediation efforts will include the removal and off site disposal of the two underground storage tanks, an excavation to determine whether a suspected above ground storage tank was actually buried, the characterization, and off site disposal of any liquids found to be inside the tanks, and excavation and off site disposal of any contaminated soil encountered during the removal action. Soil screening and sampling for laboratory analysis will also be conducted in situ of the tank removal action in order to characterize the soil directly under the tanks; which could not be conducted with the UVOST probe during the 2010 site investigation.(note: although petroleum is not a CERCLA-contaminant, the Corps of Engineers is addressing this under the CERCLA CON-HTRW process) |
Curtis Dunkin |
| 7/29/2011 |
Offsite Soil or Groundwater Disposal Approved |
Staff approved the Army Corps of Engineers' request to transport and dispose of contaminated soil and water off site. Diesel-contaminated soil and water were generated in significantly greater volumes than originally antipated for this removal action per the results of the 2010 UVOST site investigation. A total of 248 tons of petroleum-impacted soil and 8,000 gallons of water and diesel mixture was transported off site to a soil recycling facility in Anchorage. The 2011 excavation efforts did not remove all of the contaminated soil encountered and is planned for removal and off site disposal in 2012. |

ADEC received draft Soil and Groundwater Sampling Workplan for 2017 field season. Major chemicals of concern in the WP is to delineate PCE & TCE horizontally and vertically in the area surrounding former Acid Storage Building. Groundwater and soil sampling were proposed. USACE claimed that the DRO, RRO & PAHs detected during 2012 RI were localized and possibly a result of trespassers' activities instead of DoD's historical operations. |

On 6/27/2018 ADEC reviewed and sent comments on the draft Sampling Report Acid Storage Building for 2017 field season. The primary purpose of the sampling was to determine the lateral and vertical extent of target analytes in soil around the ASB and to determine if groundwater beneath the site has been affected. Based on the 2017 analytical results, the vertical and horizontal extents of TCE exceedance were not defined in all locations. There is insufficient data at this time to accurately estimate the quantity or extent of impacted media at the Site. |

Update or Other Action |
Staff reviewed the Draft Remedial Investigation Work Plan, dated February 2021. ADEC had four comments to the report. First comment was to add the ADEC Contaminated Sites Database Hazard ID: 25355 and ADEC File Number: 2226.38.003 to the cover page of the report. Second comment was to remind USACE that all groundwater at a site is considered drinking water unless DEC determines otherwise, and that determination would be made on a variety of factors. Those factors include, but are not limited to, institutional controls (ICs) on the property (e.g. covenant or notice of activity and use limitations in accordance with the Uniform Environmental Covenants Act) to restrict groundwater use. DEC’s expectation is that for a site with groundwater where USACE intends to seek a 350 determination, USACE coordinates with the landowner and secures agreement that a 350 determination is appropriate, and the necessary ICs will be put in place. The third comment was to list out all RCRA metals which will be tested for in the report. And the fourth comment was to update the reference to reflect the current version of the 18 AAC 75 Oil and Other Hazardous Substances Pollution Control Statues and Regulations throughout the report. |
