Enforcement Agreement or Order |
By signing the closure determination agreement, it is the responsibility of the owner/operator/land manager to maintain the terms of the Institutional Controls as stipulated in the signed agreement. If land use and/or ownership changes, the management conditions stated in the closure determination document may not be protective and DEC may require additional remediation and revised conditions. Therefore the Haines Borough shall report to DEC every three years to document land use, or report as soon as the Haines Borough becomes aware of any change in land ownership and/or use, if earlier. The report can be sent to the local DEC office or electronically to DEC.ICUnit@alaska.gov |

A new updated ranking with ETM has been completed for source area 79614 1,000-Gallon Heating Oil UST based upon results of the UST closure by removal and site investigation into soil and groundwater contamination performed by Carson Dorn Inc. for the Haines Borough in August and September 2007. |

Cleanup Complete Determination Issued |
In accordance with 18 AAC 75.335 (b) (2), the concentration and extent of contamination has been determined to the maximum extent practicable at the former UST site as referenced in this decision document. Soil contamination remaining in a subsurface soil layer on the referenced property is limited, stable and does not present an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. Groundwater monitoring demonstrates that the thin zone of contamination is not impacting groundwater. The department approves closure for this site in accordance with 18 AAC 75.380, subject to institutional controls under 18 AAC 75.375, as outlined in the contaminated site record for the Haines Borough Vocational Technical School in the Juneau office and the department database. These controls are necessary to ensure that soil contamination encountered during construction or other disturbances in the future is properly managed, and that current and future landowners or operators on the impacted properties are notified and aware.
