Problems/Comments

In June, 2010 a Class V underground injection well at the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities Cantwell Old Maintenance Station (aka Cantwell Shop (old)) at Milepost 135 Denali Highway. Samples were analyzed for metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). Samples were not analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons. Due to data quality issues, sample results were unreliable and insufficient to determine if contaminants were present above DEC cleanup levels. Further investigation in 2016 indicated that of the two injection wells, CW-IW-1 (Old) does not present soil or groundwater contamination. The second IW, CW-IW-2 (New)resulted in impacts to subsurface and potentially water, requiring subsequent follow-up investigations. Only one source area will be further investigated associated with CW-IW-2.
