Reviewed the Draft Site Characterization Report, dated August 28, 2015. The objective of this project was to delineate the vertical and horizontal extent of soil and groundwater contamination. Soil samples were collected from directly beneath Tank 18 and from ten soil borings advanced around Tank 18. Two samples were collected from each boring; one from the highest field screening location and the other from the soil-groundwater interface. Five of the soil borings were completed as monitoring wells; two of which (MW1 and MW2) were installed in permafrost. All wells were surveyed, developed, purged, and sampled as appropriate. Based on elevation data, groundwater flow direction was determined northwest. All soil and groundwater samples collected during this project were submitted for one or more of the following laboratory analyses: gasoline range organics (GRO), diesel range organics (DRO), residual range organics (RRO), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), and/or polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Analytical results revealed that DRO, GRO, and benzene remain beneath Tank 18 at maximum concentrations of 8,310 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), 447 mg/kg, and 0.144 mg/kg, respectively. It is estimated that 35 cubic yards of contaminated soil remain in the soils beneath Tank 18. All other soil and groundwater results from the soil borings and monitoring wells were below applicable ADEC cleanup levels. However, concentrations of DRO, RRO, toluene, and ethylbenzene were detected above laboratory detection limits in groundwater. ADEC responded via letter dated September 18, 2015; ADEC requested semi-annual groundwater sampling in 2016 to better evaluate groundwater trends, to ensure that there are no impacts to groundwater above cleanup levels, and to evaluate whether active layer water is present in wells MW1 and MW2. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
Reviewed the Draft Groundwater Monitoring Report, dated November 16, 2015. On October 2, 2015, five groundwater samples, including a duplicate sample, were collected from four groundwater monitoring wells (MW-2 though MW-5) in an effort to further assess potential impacts to groundwater. Monitoring Well MW-1 was dry and could not be sampled. All samples were submitted for analysis of gasoline range organics (GRO), diesel range organics (DRO), residual range organics (RRO), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). All results were below ADEC groundwater cleanup levels. In a letter dated 11-30-2015, ADEC requested a brief work plan by February 1, 2016 to decommission Monitoring wells MW-1 through MW-5.

Cleanup Complete Determination Issued |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Contaminated Sites Program (ADEC) has completed a review of the environmental records associated with the Crowley Tank Farm Bethel – Tank 18 site, located at 380 Standard Oil Road in Bethel. Based on the information provided to date, it has been determined that the contaminant concentrations remaining on site do not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment and no further remedial action will be required as long as the institutional controls are maintained and effective and no new information becomes available that indicates residual contamination poses an unacceptable risk. |
