Problems/Comments

On June 5, 2013 a 2,000-gallon diesel underground storage tank (Tank 585-3) was removed from the Municipality of Anchorage Transit Maintenance Facility near the northeast corner of the building at 3701 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Avenue. Post excavation subsurface soil samples indicated contaminants were all below DEC's most stringent cleanup levels. Groundwater results found RRO at 3.98 mg/L in groundwater within the excavation, in excess of the groundwater cleanup level. A replacement tank was installed in the same location. The source of the RRO contamination is from a second contaminated site associated with this location. The site can be found on the Contaminated Sites Program database under site name MOA- Public Works Transit Facility, file number 2100.38.327.
