Problems/Comments
Petroleum and metals contamination associated with U.S. Army Fire Control Station, located on an isolated promontory, south of Dutch Harbor overlooking Beaver Inlet. The Ugadaga Bay Fire Control Station was utilized by the Army from 1942 to 1945 to aid shore batteries in directing fire control for the harbor defense of military bases at Dutch Harbor and the Unalaska Defense region. Features at the site include 17 buildings in four main areas: the barracks area (included a powerplant), the mess hall area, the remote searchlight area, and an auxiliary area. Approximately 25-30 55-gallon fuel barrels were scattered at the site, half appeared to be full of diesel oil and some had leaked or been punctured. An estimated 1,000 square feet contaminated soil is present in the vicinity of the barrels.
In 1993, 12 surface soil samples were collected. Bunker C (RRO) was detected at concentrations up to 430,000 mg/kg, and DRO was detected up to 140,000 mg/kg. Lead was detected ranging from 5,410 to 7,700 mg/kg. In 1999, PAHs, PCBs, and TPH were detected in surface soil sampled above DEC cleanup levels.
