Problems/Comments
On 5/30/08 approximately 100-150 gallons of gasoline were released to the ground when snow beneath a 300-gallon aboveground storage tank thawed. Initial remediation efforts included excavation to a depth of 3-4 feet, transport of contaminated soil to the barrow landfill for treatment, and backfill with clean material. Sampling was conducted on 8/29/08 after the source area was re-excavated to the bottom of the original excavation. GRO and BTEX remain above migration to groundwater cleanup levels, but only xylenes remain above Arctic Zone cleanup levels.
