Note: this entry is just for historic information. On April 30, 2007, 35 to 50 gallons of diesel fuel spilled during fueling activities. Contaminated soil was excavated and four confirmation soil samples collected and analyzed for DRO were below ADEC cleanup levels. PPRP (f.k.a. PERP) closed the site with no further action on May 3rd, 2007 (PERP spill#: 07249912001 Kodiak DOT Fuel Spill) |

Update or Other Action |
On this date, ADEC received the Class V Well Closure Report Kalsin Bay Maintenance Station Kodiak Alaska submitted by DOT&PF M&O, dated June 30, 2015. Drinking water and an exploratory soil boring was advanced to characterize the Class V Well. Two soil samples were collected 12 feet bgs below the log crib seepage pit located 4 to 10 feet bgs and analyzed for VOCs, SVOCs, and metals. The soil samples contained PCE up to 0.0760, TCE up to 0.220, arsenic up to 9.22 mg/kg, and chromium up to 37.1 mg/kg. It was noted the soil from the discharge point contained a hydrocarbon odor and stained soil. A drinking water sample collected out of the reportedly non-potable drinking water well contained lead up to 0.0721 mg/L and arsenic up to 0.110(which is a magnitude above the arsenic GW cleanup level of 0.010 mg/L). Geotech testpits advanced encountered groundwater at 5 feet bgs.Note: Report not approved by ADEC. |

Site Characterization Report Approved |
On this date, ADEC received the Limited Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and Site Investigation Alaska DOT&PF Kalsin Bay Maintenance Station submitted by R&M and dated May 2016. Soil investigation included advancing and logging 11 test pits, field screening, and analytical sample collection. Temporary monitoring wells (TMW) were installed in three of the test pits, two in the vicinity of the former Class V injection well and one within the proposed building footprint. Two soil samples were collected from each test pit from the GW interface and soil type interface. At the proposed building footprint, soil samples collected from testpits TP1 through TP9 at a depth of 0.2 to 4.5 feet bgs at the GW interface contained arsenic up to 14.1 mg/kg and chromium up to 34.8 mg/kg. Groundwater samples collected at this location from a temporary well point and the non-potable drinking water well contained lead up to 0.0781 mg/kg, arsenic up to 0.0444 mg/L, and chromium up to 0.101 mg/L(note: these GW samples were brown and light brown in color). At the class V injection well, two testpits were advanced and completed as temporary monitoring wells. TP10 was advanced 50 feet northwest and TP11 was advanced at the injection well discharge point. Heavy petroleum sheen on groundwater and odor were noted at 3.5 feet bgs at TP11 located at the injection well discharge pipe. Soil samples collected from TP11 at a depth of 4.5 to 5.5 feet bgs contained PCE up to 0.0549 mg/kg, arsenic up to 8.30 mg/kg, and chromium up to 29.4 mg/kg. Groundwater collected from a temporary well point from this location did not contain contaminant concentrations above cleanup levels(note: this GW sample was clear in color). Soil samples collected from TP-10 at a depth of 1.0 to 3.2 feet bgs contained arsenic up to 6.92 mg/kg and chromium up to 30.4 mg/kg. Groundwater collected from a temporary well point from this location contained lead up to 0.314 mg/L, arsenic up to 0.0141 mg/L and chromium up to 0.0604 mg/L(note: this GW sample was light brown in color). |

Site Characterization Report Approved |
On this date, ADEC received the Class V Injection Well Closure Report Alaska DOT&PF Kalsin Bay Maintenance Station submitted by R&M dated October 13, 2016. Groundwater was sampled and the Class V injection well components (piping, insulation, and timber cribbing) were removed along with overburden soil and soil from immediately adjacent to system components. The system was located primarily at or below the groundwater interface. System piping consisted of 4-inch diameter cast iron pipe that discharged into an eight-foot by eight-foot lumber crib. The top of the log crib was at approximately four feet below ground surface (bgs) and extended to a depth of 10 feet bgs. Groundwater was observed 2 to 4 feet bgs. Two stockpiles were created: stockpile C presumed clean soil and stockpile D presumed dirty. Soil from above the piping was put in stockpile C. Soil from around the lumber crib were placed in storage Cell D. Soil excavated at or below lumber crib had a petroleum odor and a sheen was observed on the groundwater. No sludge was encountered during the project. The excavation was limited vertically to 10 feet bgs due to severe sloughing of soil and groundwater. Eight confirmation soil samples collected from the sidewalls 4 feet bgs at the GW interface from the piping trench and seepage pit excavation contained DRO up to 26,800 mg/kg, naphthalene up to 0.0736 mg/kg and PCE up to 0.0382 mg/kg. Soil samples were not collected at the excavation floor due to groundwater. Three soil samples collected from stockpile C did not contain contaminant concentrations above ADEC cleanup levels. Three stockpile samples collected from stockpile D contained DRO up to 562 mg/kg and PCE up to 0.0350 mg/kg. Groundwater sampled from the TMW1, TMW2, TMW3, and TMW4 and analyzed for total metals, dissolved metals, and hexavalent chromium were detected but below cleanup levels. Note: the wells were sampled after 40 hours to prevent turbidity. |

Update or Other Action |
DOT&PF anticipates to transfer the stockpiles located at the Kalsin Bay M&O Station to the landfill in late spring/early summer 2017, if by that time the Kodiak landfill is permitted to take DRO contaminated soil. If the landfill is not permitted by late spring/early summer 2017, the DOT&PF will place the stockpile on a 20mil liner across Franks creek at the NE end of the DOT material site until the landfill has acquired the permit. If for some reason the landfill does not receive the permit in 2017, the DOT&PF will work with ADEC to set up a land-farm schedule for the stockpile. |

Offsite Soil or Groundwater Disposal Approved |
ADEC has no objections to the beneficial reuse of the “clean’’ soil along the highway. This “clean” soil is a combination of:
• the overburden soil removed above the former UIC piping (aka stockpile C) and
• a small amount of surface soil removed during excavation of the former building.
About 90% of this material will be used for maintenance work along the highway from Middle Bay to Chiniak, (roughly Milepost 20 to Milepost 42) and other 10% will be used at the Kalsin Bay Facility. |

Update or Other Action |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) Contaminated Sites Program (CSP) has received and reviewed the Kalsin Bay Class V Stockpile Extension letter submitted by ADOT&PF dated September 10, 2018. ADEC has no objection to the continued storage of the 36 cubic yard stockpile(aka dirty stockpile D) for another 18 months contingent upon the following conditions: During storage, the stockpile must remain on the 20-mil liner, bermed, and covered securely with a 4-mil cover and ADEC must approve soil prior to transport.

Site Characterization Report Approved |
On this date, ADEC received the 2019 Groundwater Monitoring Report Kalsin Bay Maintenance Station submitted by R&M and dated April 8, 2019. Five MWs (MW01 to MW05) were completed within testpits dug 6 to 8 feet bgs. Three soil samples were collected from the apparent GW interface 0.5 feet bgs at the MW03 and the MW04 testpits. These soil samples did not contain contaminant concentrations above cleanup levels. After the five MWs were installed in the testpits, the groundwater flow was determined to be south-southwest. Based on this flow data, MW03, MW04, and MW05 were selected to be sampled since they appear to be located downgradient of the former injection well. None of the groundwater samples collected contained contaminant concentrations above table C cleanup levels. Depth to GW was 0.82 feet in MW03 (located off pad), 0.30 feet MW04 (located off pad) and 3.48 feet MW05(located on pad adjacent to the former injection well). Purge water from MW03 as well as containerized purge water from the 2016 investigation was filtered through a GAC and discharged onsite. The assumed clean purge water from MW04 and MW05 was also discharged to the ground onsite. |
