Problems/Comments
On 6/7/07 a fuel line from an aboveground heating oil tank ruptured, releasing an estimated 300 gallons of diesel fuel onto the floor of a detached garage and then down the floor drain. DEC Prevention and Emergency Response staff responded to the spill and tried to locate the fuel. Excavation pits were dug by hand down hill of the release; no fuel was ever located. The onsite drinking water well sample was analyzed on 1/22/08 for BTEX; none were detected.

Requirements
| Description | Details |
|---|---|
| Advance approval required to transport soil or groundwater off-site. | |
| Periodic Review | Any future change in land use may impact the exposure assumptions cited in this document. If land use and/or ownership changes, these management conditions may not be protective and ADEC may require additional remediation and revised conditions. Therefore the property owner shall report to ADEC by December 31st every 5 years to document land use, or report as soon as any change in land ownership and/or use occurs, if earlier. The report can be sent to the local ADEC office or electronically to DEC.ICUnit@alaska.gov. |
| Excavation / Soil Movement Restrictions | Sub-surface soil contamination may be located near or under the garage. When the garage building is removed and/or the soil becomes accessible, the soil must be evaluated and contamination addressed in accordance with an ADEC approved work plan. ADEC recommends that the floor drains be sealed to prevent water or other substances from entering the drain system and cause migration of the residual contamination. |
| Other | The garage should not be used as a living space without prior notification to ADEC. Petroleum vapors may be entering the garage from the sub-surface, and indoor air testing may be necessary to ensure residential occupancy is safe. |
