Problems/Comments
In 1993, during the Postmark Road reconstruction project, seventeen test borings were advanced at a historic unpermitted solid waste dump site. The dump dates from approximately 1950 and was abandoned in 1973. During the initial investigation, soil samples collected from several of the borings had concentrations of diesel range organics (DRO) up to 612 mg/Kg, polychlorinated biphenyl(PCB) Aroclor 1254 at 29.3 mg/Kg, PCB Aroclor 1260 at 1.04 mg/Kg, trichloroethylene (TCE) at 0.032 mg/Kg, and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) at 0.160 mg/Kg. Soil samples collected from the borings indicated that contaminants were found in isolated areas and were not widespread across the investigation area. Following the investigation, 6,000 cubic yards of debris and soil were removed and disposed of as part of the reconstruction project.

| 1/4/2016 | Update or Other Action | Reviewed a report for geotechnical sampling east of Aircraft Drive and the site. No debris was identified in any of the soil borings. | Lisa Krebs-Barsis |
| 7/15/2016 | Update or Other Action | All of the data from this site came from soil that was removed from the site in 1993. ADOT tested the Postmark Road project limits in 1993, prior to construction, using 17 bore holes in the construction limits right-of-way. 6000 cy yards of soil were removed from the road right-of-way, stockpiled and tested for Lead and PCB's. No detectable levels of PCB was detected and de-minimis levels of Lead were detected in all samples and are considered to be background levels in the Anchorage area. All 6000 cy of soil was sent to the Anchorage Regional Landfill. New ETM was completed with De-minimis or Pathway Incomplete routes of exposure. Cumulative Cancer Risk is 6x10E-6 and Hazard Index is <1. | Darren Mulkey |
