Update or Other Action |
Date of email sent by DEC to BP consultant regarding 2003 data submitted to PERP before site was transferred. Six samples were to be collected next to the fuel island and two were to be collected at least 25 feet away. Samples were analyzed for GRO, DRO, and BTEX. Concentrations near the fuel island were up to 468 mg/kg GRO and 739 mg/kg DRO. Samples collected further away from the fuel island did not contain these compounds above cleanup levels. DEC requested visual inspection of the pad's southern and eastern edges. |

Date on Transmittal of the 2015 Contaminated Sites Water Quality Monitoring Workplan for D Pad, Service City, COTU North, COTU South, BOC Bulk Fuel Facility Utilidor, DSM Shop, PBOC Generator, MCC Fuel Island. As of 10/15/15 an approval letter hadn't been sent because ERM/BP had not yet provided the 2014 COTU South report although it has been reportedly just about ready for 2 months. |

Reviewed the MCC Fuel Island 2015 Inspection Report, dated June 10, 2016, for the BPX MCC Fuel Island site. Activities described in the report included visual inspection and shovel-sheen testing along the south and east pad toe. A slight hydrocarbons sheen was observed along a 30-foot section of the south toe following shovel-sheen testing. No sheens were visible prior to shovel-sheen testing. In a letter dated July 25, 2016 ADEC requested a revised report with a vicinity map and conceptual site model; and a work plan by August. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Reviewed the 2016 Contaminated Sites Monitoring Report and 2017 Work Plan, dated April 2017 for the BPX MCC Fuel Island site. The described field effort was completed on August 15, 2016 and generally consisted of a visual inspection of surface water, and shovel sheen testing and analytical sampling completed at two surface water locations (SW-2 and SW-3). Petroleum sheens were observed at both surface water sample locations, but only after the shovel sheen testing (soil disturbance). All water samples were submitted for laboratory analysis of gasoline range organics (GRO), diesel range organics (DRO), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). None of the results exceeded applicable state cleanup levels or Alaska Water Quality Standards (AWQS).
Proposed activities outlined in the 2017 work plan generally include continuation of surface water monitoring and shovel sheen testing, but also recommends advancing between two and four soil boring that will be completed as groundwater monitoring wells. The objective would be to delineate the extent of soil and pad pore water contamination.

Received the final 2016 Contaminated Sites Monitoring Report and 2017 Work Plan, dated July 2017 for the BPX MCC Fuel Island (FI) site. |

Reviewed of the 2017 Contaminated Sites Monitoring Report and 2018 Work Plan, dated July 2018 for the BPX MCC Fuel Island site.
The described field effort was completed in August 2017 and generally consisted of the following: a visual inspection of surface water and subsequent shovel sheen testing at three locations (SW-2, SW-3, and SW-4); collection of one analytical water sample from surface water location SW-4; installation of three soil borings with two analytical soil samples collected from each boring; and installation of three monitoring wells with analytical samples collected from each well.
Petroleum sheening was noted at two surface water locations (SW-2 and SW-3), but only after soil disturbance. Sheening was not noted at surface water location SW-4, which is where an analytical water sample was collected. The surface water sample results did not exceed applicable Alaska Water Quality Standards (AWQS).
None of the soil analytical results exceeded the Table B1 or B2 Arctic Zone soil cleanup levels. However, petroleum constituents exceeded Table C groundwater cleanup levels in all of the water samples collected from all wells (MW-7, MW-8, and MW-9). Generally, Well MW-7 was the most contaminated with concentrations of gasoline range organics (GRO) at 11,900 µg/l, diesel range organics (DRO) at 20,300 µg/l, benzene at 125 µg/l, ethylbenzene at 565 µg/l, total xylenes at 3,550 µg/l, and naphthalene at 6.1 µg/l. The reported porewater flow direction at this site is southeast at a gradient of roughly 0.003 feet per foot.
Recommendations provided in the report (proposed work plan) include continued surface water inspection and sampling, and well sampling in 2018.

Reviewed the 2018 Contaminated Sites Monitoring Report and 2019 Work Plan, dated May 7, 2019 for the BPX MCC Fuel Island site.
The described field effort was completed in August 2018 and generally consisted of the following: a visual inspection of surface water and subsequent shovel sheen testing at three locations (SW-2, SW-3, and SW-4); collection of one analytical water sample from surface water location SW-4; and collection of porewater samples from three monitoring wells installed in 2017 (MW-7, MW-8, and MW-9).
Petroleum sheening was not observed at any of the locations before or after soil disturbance. The surface water sample results from SW-4 did not exceed applicable Alaska Water Quality Standards (AWQS).
Consistent with the 2017 results, several petroleum constituents exceeded Table C groundwater cleanup levels in all of the water samples collected from all wells. Well MW-7 continues to be the most contaminated with concentrations of gasoline range organics (GRO) at 29,200 µg/l, diesel range organics (DRO) at 10,600 µg/l, benzene at 285 µg/l, ethylbenzene at 1,370 µg/l, and total xylenes at 8,800 µg/l, and naphthalene at 15.4 µg/l. The reported porewater flow direction at this site is southeast at a gradient of roughly 0.0013 feet per foot.
Recommendations provided in the report (2019 proposed work plan) include continued surface water inspection and sampling, and well sampling in 2018. Surface water samples will be collected from Locations SW-2 and SW-3 regardless of sheen observations in 2019.

Reviewed 2022 Contaminated Sites Monitoring Report and Proposed Work Plan dated February 3, 2023.
Water quality monitoring activities were completed in July 2022 and consisted of collecting water from two surface water locations SW-1 and SW-3.
The surface water samples were submitted to the laboratory for analysis of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylene (BTEX) and poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and compared to the Water Quality Standards (AWQS) for total aromatic hydrocarbons (TAH) and total aqueous hydrocarbons (TAqH). The samples did not have detections of BTEX and the calculated concentrations of TAH and TAqH for did not exceed the AWQS at either sampling location.
The site workplan details sampling of the two surface water locations to monitor water quality on the south and east sides of the pad. Visual sheen tests would also be conducted around the fuel island. EMR would conduct site monitoring again in 2025 and then continue on a 3-year schedule.
