Problems/Comments
The 300-gallon UST is located on a steep, rocky slope adjacent to Building B on the south side of the ridge. The tank was closed in place in 2000. Sludge collected from the tank was disposed of offsite. A sample taken directly beneath the UST was analyzed for DRO, GRO, RRO, lead, and SVOCs. DRO was the only analyte detected at 29,300 mg/KG. Two samples were taken in 2001 at 3 feet bgs downgradient of the site to determine if DRO was migrating, however it was not detected.

In attendance was the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), ADEC, representatives of the Ounalashka Corporation, the RAB members, and several members of the public. The meeting focused on public comments regarding specific sites of concern and how sites are selected for upcoming seasonal work by the USACE. There is public concern regarding a site with contamination that could impact areas that have been cleaned, and questions regarding health issues of community members. The USACE listened to the public comments and answered questions. USACE will be working with the RAB to receive more public input, and they also agreed to meet with the Ounalashka Corporation. | Kathleen Iler-Galau |
