Problems/Comments
On April 18 and 22, 2013 two releases of #1 diesel fuel were discovered at the ADOT&PF maintenance facility at the Dillingham airport, on the north side of the ADOT&PF storage building near the north end of Taxiway C. The first spill was estimated at 20-50 gallons from the bottom of the fuel dispenser, and the second was estimated at 30-40 gallons from a loose fitting on the 400-gallon fuel tank. After initial remedial activities, diesel range organics, gasoline range organics, benzene, and ethylbenzene remain in subsurface soil in excess of DEC cleanup levels. Excavation was limited under storage tanks and beneath facility fencing.

| 6/4/2014 | Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other | The Contaminated Sites Program (CSP) completed a review of the Dillingham Airport Fuel Spill Cleanup report, dated October 9, 2013. Two diesel spills were discovered by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) in April of 2013; both releases were estimated between 20 and 50 gallons. ADOT&PF staff removed approximately 5 cubic yards of visibly saturated soil, which was temporarily stored in 55-gallon drums, until further action could be taken. In September of 2013, Michael L. Foster & Associates, Inc. (MLFA) performed an excavation to remove the remaining contaminated soils. During excavation, contamination was encountered from the surface to roughly 9 feet below ground surface (bgs). Eight confirmation soil samples, including two duplicates, were collected from the base of the excavation. One soil sample, collected from the western portion of the excavation, exhibited concentrations of diesel range organics (DRO) at 17,800 mg/kg, benzene at 0.0485 mg/kg, ethylbenzene at 10.6 mg/kg, and gasoline range organics (GRO) at 315 mg/kg; all of which exceed the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) cleanup criteria. None of the other soil samples exhibited contaminants above the ADEC cleanup criteria. The extent of contamination is not defined to the west or northwest. In addition to the above-described work, two baseline soil samples were collected from a proposed land farm location; neither soil sample exhibited contaminant concentrations that exceeded the ADEC cleanup criteria. | Joshua Barsis |

| 6/18/2014 | Update or Other Action | The ADOT&PF submitted additional information on the drinking water wells located in Dillingham. There are four public drinking water wells located within the city limits of Dillingham, which is located roughly 1.3 miles from this site. The public drinking water wells supply water to residents within the city limits of Dillingham and to the airport. All other residents have private wells; however, there are no private wells located on airport property. Most drinking water wells in Dillingham average a depth of about 95 feet bgs. In addition to the drinking water wells, wetlands are located adjacent to the airport. | Joshua Barsis |
