9/21/2009 Cleanup Complete Determination Issued DEC and the Corps of Engineers signed the Project Closeout Report, Containerized Hazardous, Toxic, or Radioactive Waste (CON/HTRW) project, Chugach Mts Ship Creek, Sept. 2009. The area of concern had been one or two drums, oil stained soil around the drums and broken batteries. In September of 1995, B&B Environmental, under contract to the Corps, removed the drum and approximately 5 gallons of soil and broken battery parts and disposed of them at a licensed disposal facility. Due to the de-minimis volume of any residual contamianted soil and the remote site loction, the site does not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. John Halverson
