Problems/Comments

The Arctic Village Council Gasoline Sales Tank Farm site was identified as part of the TAPL AST Upgrade assessment activities by DEC in 2001. It is located on the road to the airport where a 2,100-gallon single-walled skid mounted horizontal tank was used to provide fuel by hand pump. Another similar tank not in use was also located on the property. Analytical data collected in 2001 identified near-surface hydrocarbon contamination on the east side of the gasoline sales tank where refueling occurred, but no significant vertical or horizontal migration. Recommendations were provided to prevent future spills at the location. As of 2015, it is not clear if preventative measures were employed, if cleanup occurred, or if the system is still active. Estimated amount of impacted soil is less than 20 cubic yards.

Site3-Utility Tank Farm Airport soil samples indicate DRO up to 21,600 mg/kg at .5 feet bgs. The contaminated soil found near surface near transfer hose. An estimated 15 cubic yards of contaminated soil needs to be removed. Stand and fill pipes suggest possible UST-further investigation needed.

5/3/2003 Update or Other Action [COPIED FROM HAZ ID 3947] ADEC was potentially going to assist with cleanup of these sites using TAPL funding. Withdrawal of funding support by the Energy Authority last season has stopped any work by ADEC in Arctic Village. Looking into other avenues to fund work in the village. John Carnahan
