Update or Other Action |
DEC reviewed an After Action Report describing the 2013 removal of two underground storage tanks (USTs)and investigation of contaminated soil associated with the USTs. Soil samples collected from the UST excavation and soil borings detected diesel range organics (DRO), residual range organics (RRO), and tetrachloroethene (PCE) above DEC Method Two cleanup levels. DRO and RRO were detected in groundwater samples above Table C cleanup levels for DRO and RRO. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
A two day Federal Facilities Agreement (FFA) and Stakeholders meeting was held on December 13 & 14, 2016. The main focus of the meeting was to develop a site discovery and site intake process that would satisfy requirements of the Fort Wainwright FFA, RCRA Permit, and two party agreements. The Army, EPA and DEC committed to a flowchart of the preliminary source evaluation process. Timelines were established for scoping a land use control implementation plan (LUCIP) and developing a contracting schedule for Fort Wainwright contaminated site investigations and remedial actions. Seven sites were proposed for inclusion into the FFA (three party agreement) by the Army and the RPMs documented the assignment of the regulatory path for these sites using a newly developed and agreed to signature form. |

DEC approved the 2018 Preliminary Source Evaluation (PSE) Report, Building 3730 USTs Removal, U.S. Army Garrison Alaska (Dated March 2019). The document describes 2018 PSE activities at the Building 3730 Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) Removal site on Fort Wainwright, Alaska. The purpose of the PSE was to determine if residual contamination exists that may present a threat to human health or the environment and to determine if the site should remain in Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), or if it should move forward under another program. Diesel range organics (DRO) and residual range organics (RRO) were detected in the soil above DEC cleanup levels, but below Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regional Screening Levels (RSLs). Groundwater samples taken in 2018 showed no exceedances. Since all contaminants of concern are below EPA RSLs, this site has been recommended for the 2-Party Program. |

ADEC approved the Final Groundwater Sampling Work Plan: Building 3730 UST Removal Site and the FTW373C Organizational Vehicle Parking Site (dated August 12, 2020). The document describes proposed groundwater sampling activities at two sites; Building 3730 Underground Storage Tank (UST) Removal site and FTW373C Organizational Vehicle Parking site, both located on Fort Wainwright, Alaska (FWA). There will be two existing wells sampled at the Building 3730 UST Removal site, and two wells installed, developed and sampled at the FTW373C Organizational Vehicle Parking site. This approved work is expected to occur Fall 2020 and Spring 2021. |

ADEC received the Draft 2020/2021Groundwater Sampling Report for Building 3730 UST Removal Site and FTW 373C Site on October 28, 2021. The technical memorandum report describes the groundwater sampling results at the Building 3730 Underground Storage Tank (UST) Removal, and FTW373C sites located at Fort Wainwright, Alaska during September 2020 and June 2021. The objective of these sampling events was to determine if contaminant concentrations in groundwater exceed current ADEC Table C, Groundwater Cleanup Levels, and whether further groundwater monitoring is warranted.
ADEC agreed that the remaining soil contamination identified above ADEC CULs does not appear to have impacted groundwater. ADEC recommends the sites are transferred to the 2-Party Program to address the remaining soil contamination at the sites. Review comments were sent to RPMs on this date. |

On this date, ADEC sent an Acknowledgement of Receipt for the Final 2020/2021 Groundwater Sampling Report: Building 3730 UST Removal Site and the FTW373C Organizational Vehicle Parking Site. Recommendations in the report were to decommission the groundwater wells at the 3730 site and transfer to Two-Party program to address remaining soil contamination, and proposed Cleanup Complete with Institutional Controls at the 373C Org Vehicle Parking Site. ADEC requested the monitoring wells at 3730 were not decommissioned, and did not concur with the Cleanup Complete w/ ICs at the 373C site at this time due to remaining CERCLA soil contamination above ADEC CULs. |
