Problems/Comments

In November 2013, DEC Prevention and Emergency Response staff received a complaint of a diesel odor emanating from the road drainage ditch adjacent to First Street in Douglas, AK. Subsequent investigation indicated the presence of heating oil on an unstable slope and that the source was an 675 gallon underground heating oil storage tank underneath the garage of 110 F Street. Samples returned indicate diesel range organics in soil at 13,300 mg/Kg. Multiple attempts to communicate with Potential Responsible Party were left unanswered resulting in enforcement action by DEC.

1/11/2016 Update or Other Action ADEC placed a Notice of Environmental Contamination (NEC) on the property. The NEC remains in effect until a written determination from ADEC is recorded that states that soil and groundwater at the site have been shown to meet the most stringent cleanup levels in 18 AAC 75 and that off-site transportation of soil and groundwater is not a concern. Contamination on the property was never addressed by the property owner according to ADEC records. Due to the lack of characterization and cleanup work at this site as required under 18 AAC 75, exposure risks to human health and the environment are determined to be present. Christy Howard
3/18/2016 Lien Recorded Christy Howard
4/6/2017 Potentially Responsible Party/State Interest Letter Sent PRP letter to new owners of record. Christy Howard
5/9/2017 Site Characterization Workplan Approved NORTECH submitted a Corrective Action Plan to delineate impacted soils, complete UST closure, and excavate impacted soil to the extent practicable. If impacted soil needs to be remediated in place, NORTECH will submit a plan to DEC for in-situ treatment of impacted soils. Christy Howard
6/7/2017 Site Characterization Workplan Approved NORTECH requested approval for modification to the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) of 5/9/17. The modifications to the approved CAP include: Site soils remain in place (no excavation will occur), treat impacted soils in place, and sample soils after treatment. Christy Howard
11/20/2017 Update or Other Action NORTECH treated impacted soils at the site with 561 gallons of a 5% solution of RegenOx. NORTECH allowed the RegenOx three weeks to move through and treat the impacted soils. NORTECH returned to the site on November 20, 2017 to field screen soils to determine if further remediation was necessary. Three field screening samples were collected, one from between the house and slope to the northeast of the house, and two from along the northwestern wall of the house. Due to ice and snow samples were not collected from the slope itself. Field screening indicated soils remain impacted at levels greater than ADEC Cleanup levels and that further treatment with RegenOx is necessary to fully remediate site soils. RegenOx treatment will continue in Spring of 2018. Christy Howard
9/6/2018 Site Characterization Workplan Approved NORTECH submitted a corrective action plan to delineate impacted soils on the neighboring hillside adjacent to 1st Street. NORTECH returned to the site in November 2018 to investigate impacts to groundwater. Christy Howard
12/20/2018 Cleanup Complete Determination Issued ADEC has determined there is no unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. Soil contamination at the site have been cleaned up to concentrations below ADEC Method Two cleanup levels for Human Health. The approved cleanup levels are suitable for residential land use. Christy Howard
12/20/2018 Institutional Control Record Removed Institutional Controls have been removed. Christy Howard
