Problems/Comments

The site, previously known as SER001-2008, now designated as Eielson AFB Bldg. 4361 Cold Storage & Bulk Fuel, was previously a fuel distribution and cold storage facility. Records indicate that one aboveground storage tank (AST) and one underground storage tank (UST) were removed in 1994, and two ASTs were removed in 1996. Fuel pipelines and distribution equipment is no longer on site, but there is no record of their disposal. In 2008, during excavation for work on a utilidor, soil from the excavation was analyzed for Gasoline Range Organics (GRO), Diesel Range Organics (DRO), Residual Range Organics (RRO), and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). GRO (605 mg/kg), DRO (546 mg/kg), benzene (697 mg/kg), and ethylbenzene (10,300 mg/kg) were detected above DEC cleanup levels. 2009 and 2010 site investigations included shallow soil borings and groundwater sampling from temporary monitoring wells. Samples from 2009 and 2010 were tested for BTEX, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulated metals. Maximum concentrations of analytes detected above DEC cleanup levels in soil: Benzene - 270 mg/kg; Ethylbenzene - 1,200 mg/kg; Toluene - 3,700 mg/kg; total Xylenes - 5,200 mg/kg; DDT - 35 mg/kg; DDD - 34 mg/kg; Chromium - 33 mg/kg; lead - 1,880 mg/kg. A number of VOCs were identified at or above DEC cleanup levels, including n-butylbenzene, sec-butylbenzene, t-butylbenzene, n-proplybenzene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethybenzene. Maximum concentrations of analytes detected above DEC cleanup levels in groundwater: Benzene - 41 mg/L; Ethylbenzene - 7.2 mg/L; Toluene - 80 mg/L; total Xylenes - 28.4 mg/L. VOCs n-propylbenzene and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene were detected at or above DEC cleanup levels. The Phase II SER Report recommends coordination with the ADEC for further characterization and remediation on this site. Future work will proceed in cooperation with ADEC under the Compliance Site Restoration Program.

2/1/2012	Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other	2012 – Final Phase II Source Evaluation Report for CS081 received February 2012. This Source Evaluation Report (SER) Phase II assesses the source area designated as SER001-2008 at Eielson Air Force Base (AFB). In soil samples, concentrations of GRO, DRO, select VOCs, lead, and pesticides exceeded state soil cleanup levels and are considered contaminants of concern at the site. The extent of GRO, DRO, VOC, and lead exceedances has not been delineated in soil. The extent of pesticide exceedences is limited to shallow soil at two adjacent locations. RRO, additional VOCs, SVOCs, PAHs, and metals were detected in soil samples at concentrations below cleanup criteria. In groundwater samples, concentrations of VOCs and one SVOC (PCP) exceeded state groundwater cleanup levels and are considered contaminants of concern at the site. The extent of contaminants has not been fully delineated. It is recommended to preform additional characterization to delineate the extent of impacted soil and groundwater, and evaluate vapor intrusion indoor air pathway and implement remedial action at site.
