Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Sent approval letter for final Report on Removal of Lead Contaminated Soil and Debris at West End of Runway. This report describes an interim removal action conducted during summer 2010 at two areas at Moses Point, consisting of an area with lead-shielded cable, and a former pit area at the dump at the west end of the runway. During the first phase, conducted during early June, the lead-shielded cable was located and associated soil was screened for lead using x-ray fluorescence (XRF). In addition, a former pit area at the dump was investigated for battery parts and to screen soil using XRF. At the dump, test pits were used to access soil underneath approximately 18 inches of clean soil that was deposited during a past storm event. In the second phase, performed in the latter part of July, the cable and associated soil was removed, battery fragments were removed from the dump area, and confirmation samples were collected from both areas. In addition, six broken lead-acid batteries, stored at the Very High Frequency Onmi Directional Range, were containerized and removed. Eight batteries previously stored on a pallet at the Elim landfill in 2006 were not located, and therefore were not removed.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has completed review of the Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments, Moses Point FAA Station, Moses Point, Alaska. DEC does not expect this document to be finalized or approved. DEC believes that there is now a future and perhaps imminent risk of contaminants migrating from several contaminated source areas at Moses Point into adjacent surface water. DEC expects to see a renewed planning effort and public process, resulting in a workplan submitted to remediate the contaminated areas at risk of eroding into the surface water. |

DEC Comments - Drat Remedial Action and Investigation. This work plan details the removal of contaminated soil and/or debris for seven AOCs, including the complete removal of the End of Runway Dump; the investigation of soil at nine AOCs, and the investigation of groundwater site-wide at the Moses Point FAA Station. Overall, the work plan appears to meet the objectives outlined, however DEC has concerns regarding the plan for characterization and removal of the End of Runway Dump. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC completed review of Report, FAA Environmental Investigation for the former FAA Moses Point Station. This report details the groundwater and soil sampling to further delineate chlorinated solvents in groundwater and soils in the Main Complex area of the former station. A geophysical investigation was also conducted to evaluate the presence of buried debris along the main road and near former Building 603. Soils were also collected to complete bench scale testing to evaluate potential in-situ remediation methods. Data gaps remain and additional investigation is needed to fully delineate chlorinated solvents in groundwater and soils at the former FAA Moses Point station. |
