On this date, ADEC received the Environmental Investigation, Modeling and Pipe Recommendations for the ARRC Anchorage Terminal Reserve Waterline Rehabilitation Project, submitted by RSE and dated December 2014. As part of this investigation, seven boreholes (TB1 to TB7) were completed as temporary MWs adjacent to the Fueling Rack area. Only TB4 contained soil contamination above cleanup levels. Soil samples collected at the GW interface at 12.5 feet bgs contained TCE at 0.0384 mg/kg and PCE at 0.0485 mg/kg. Only two temporary wells contained contamination above cleanup levels. Groundwater samples collected from TB4 and TB5 contained DRO and RRO up to 3.40 mg/L and 8.06 mg/L respectively. For more information consult CS file # 2100.38.039 ARRC Fueling Rack. |

Update or Other Action |
On this date, ADEC received the Additional Soil Stockpile Segregation and Characterization: ARRC Railroad Avenue Sewer Line Extension, Anchorage Terminal Reserve, ADEC File No. 2100.38.447. This report pertains to PCB waste characterization for SP2. The north side of the SP2 pile, based off previous analytical data, contained PCBs up to 1.92 mg/kg. The Anchorage Regional Landfill (ARL) acceptance limit is 1 mg/kg. Therefore, an attempt was made to segregate PCB contaminated soil above 1 mg/kg from the north side of the pile to be disposed at the Columbia Ridge Landfill in Arlington Oregon and PCB contaminated soil below 1 mg/kg disposed at the ARL. Nine cubic yards of PCB contaminated soil from north side of the pile was segregated into supersack bags. Two confirmation samples collected from the exposed stockpile face contained PCBs up to 3.1 mg/kg. Based off these results, an additional 7 cubic yards of PCB contaminated soil from north side of the pile was segregated into supersack bags. Two confirmation samples collected from the exposed stockpile face contained PCBs up to 24.7 mg/kg. The stockpile and the supersack bags remain onsite. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
On this date, ADEC reviewed the ARRC Railroad Avenue Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) Investigation ADEC Hazard ID 26462: Near 2014 Post Road, Lots 24 and 25 Anchorage Terminal Reserve: Follow up from the 2015 Sewer Utility Project. This investigation was to further evaluate the potential source of oily water from a CMP encountered 6.5 feet bgs during excavation for the AWWU sewer line project in 2015(see 7/31/15 action). No definitive source was identified. It was suspected the CMP could be part of a historic storm drainage system along Post Road and under Railroad Avenue for discharge towards Ship Creek. Another possible source is the wastewater system at the Signature Land Service Shop Building adjacent and to the north on the CMP. This Shop Building reportedly contains a floor drain that drains into an estimated 200 gallon tank that then flowed into a 10,000 gallon waste water holding tank. This 10,000 gallon tank was removed in 2015 and the facility waste water is now piped to the AWWU sewer. The 200 gallon buried tank appears to be a gravity oil water separator evident by a depth of 4.1 feet of oily fluid/water in the tank noted during the investigation. |
