Problems/Comments

During normal drainage swale construction activities for the GSAB Hangar construction site, the contractor encountered fuel contaminated soil near the south east corner of the former Building 3005, Hangar 3. A test pit was created to determine the extent of the fuel spill. While "chasing" the contaminated soil it was observed that the fuel had reached a clay layer and did not go any deeper but spread horizontally. After excavating approximately 30 feet, a burn pit with debris was encountered. There were no adverse health effects noted by any personnel in or around the hole. Sample results are pending 10/2014.

12/13/2016 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.
