Problems/Comments

Contaminated soil and groundwater and three USTs in the area of the airport. The site with the most activity and contamination is the Fire Training Pit (Site 35) located between the runway and the mouth of the Buskin River. Soil and groundwater is impacted with DRO, low level GRO and VOC's. A source removal of approximately 20,000 cubic yards of impacted soil was removed in 2001 from the area of the fomer FTP. An approximately 2-foot thick smear zone extends about 700-feet northeast toward the mouth of the river. There is about 10-feet of clean overburden. This site is composed of several individual sites including the Advanced Underwater Research Building, Fire Training Pit (Site 35), UST areas 2, 3 and 6, and Building 520. Site entered by Shannon and Wilson. Last staff assigned were Halverson and Brownlee. A Remedial Investigation, Feasibility Study, and Treatability Study were perfomed at the Fire Training Pit in 2005 - 2006. A Pilot Study is being perfomed in 2006-07.

3/13/2000	Update or Other Action	Draft site investigation report review. RI included AUW Building, Building 520 and three suspected UST sites. Building 520 has unknown quantities of DRO impacted soil near Devils Creek- shallow bedrock. UST site 2 has a large concrete UST base filled with debris and soil. DRO impacted inside and outside - soil and groundwater.	Jeff Brownlee
7/17/2000	Update or Other Action	Reviewed IRA work plan for further characterization at Building A-711, Building 520 and UST site 2. A-711 will get seven new wells to help characterize geology and contamination. Building 520 will have about 300 yards impacted soil removed and 4 wells placed to characterize groundwater. Devils Creek is about 200-feet from this site. UST site 2 is a former concrete storage tank approximately 50-feet in diameter and 10-feet high. Five wells will be installed here for groundwater characterization and hot spot soil removal.	Jeff Brownlee
5/3/2001	Update or Other Action	Staff reviewed a Draft Remedial Investigation/Removal Action Report for the Airport Staging Area in Kodiak. Four Areas of Concern were investigated including the Advanced Underwater Research (AUW) Facility, Building 520, Tank Area Two and the Fire Training Pit. The COE calculated soil cleanup levels using Method 3, however the Total Organic Carbon input data did not appear statistically valid. We requested more data or a more conservative approach. Tank Area Two and Building 520 will require additional soil removal to meet proposed cleanup levels. The AUW building appears to have no contaminants of concern. The Fire Training Pit has increasing levels of DRO in groundwater and light detections of volatile and semi-volatile organics including TCE. Approximately 20,000 cubic yards of source impacted soil is scheduled to be excavated this summer. The site is adjacent to the Buskin River. One well approaching the river has 0.25 feet of free product. Sentry wells will need to be installed and potential ecological risk to the river and wetlands evaluated.	Jeff Brownlee
5/4/2001	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Staff participated in a Kodiak Island Borough assembly meeting and public open house in Kodiak.

5/28/2002	Update or Other Action	Staff participated in an assembly meeting of the Kodiak Island Borough with the Corps of Engineers. One assembly member mentioned that there had been some public concern about a thermal treatment operation that may soon be operating in the Bells Flats area. Residents were concerned about air emissions from the facility. The COE briefed the community and assembly on the planned work for the 2002 season. Staff, the COE and their contractor also performed site inspections at several sites.	Jeff Brownlee
6/25/2002	Site Characterization Report Approved	Staff reviewed an Interim Removal Action Report for the Airport Staging Area for work performed during 2001. Approximately 20,000 cubic yards of DRO and a small amount of PCE contaminated soil were removed from the Site 35 Fire Burn Pit. A down gradient test pit investigation shows contamination still present in the smear zone all the way to the bluff near the Buskin River. Buskin Lake Site 12: Staff reviewed a workplan for monitoring will installation at this former drum storage area adjacent to the Buskin River influent to Buskin Lake.	Jeff Brownlee
6/3/2003	Update or Other Action	Reviewed SPI post treatment sampling report for petroleum contaminated soils. Approved disposal in accordance with opertaions plan.	Donald Seagren
6/6/2003	Meeting or Teleconference Held	CS staff participated in a public Open House and Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting in Kodiak. The COE Alaska District presented the work planned for the summer including additional soil removal at Cape Chiniak Tracking Station and Little Navy Annex, beginning remedial action at the Drury Gulch PCB site and the foamed asphalt paving project. There was little public interest at the Open House.	Jeff Brownlee

The COE updated the assembly on the status of current and upcoming projects. There was minimal community interest at the open house	Jeff Brownlee
9/25/2003	Meeting or Teleconference Held	CS staff reviewed a briefing document and participated in a scoping meeting for the Airport Staging Area (ASA) FUDS in Kodiak. The ASA is two sites, the former Fire Training Pit and Building 520. An interim removal action was performed at both sites in 2001. About 20,000 cubic yards of soil impacted with dominantly DRO was removed from the Fire Training Pit and thermally remediated. The scoping meeting was to discuss the remedial strategy to cleanup the remaining downgradient 2-foot thick smear zone that extends toward the Buskin River along with groundwater contamination. The Coast Guard, EPA, and DEC are recommending more site characterization before doing a feasibility study. According to the COE a new Inventory Project Report (INPR) will need to be produced before RI/FS work can be done on the project. The current INPR is for Remedial Action work, so there may be a delay in the process for the INPR to go through COE approval. Petroleum contamination from a former UST at Building 520 has been removed and thermally remediated. Groundwater sampling shows levels below Table C cleanup values at the Building 520 site	Jeff Brownlee
2/4/2004	Update or Other Action	Reviewed Site 16, Airport Staging Area, Tank Area 2 Removal Action report for Spring 2003 removal. Additional excavation required. Tentatively scheduled for 2004, pending funding.	Donald Seagren
4/26/2004	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Staff participated in a scoping meeting for the Airport Staging Area FUDS on Kodiak Island. The EPA, Coast Guard (landowner), consultants and DEC participated in the meeting. The site has a large smear zone of DRO and GRO impacted soil and groundwater adjacent to the Buskin River. The purpose of the meeting was to agree on the investigation approach to ensure adequate information to proceed to a feasibility study. We agreed to pursue a soil screening effort using Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) verified with a percentage of borings and samples. This information will then be used to plan monitoring well installation. We also discussed the level of effort needed to evaluate ecological risk from contaminant transport to the Buskin River. The point of compliance boundary, sediment sampling, background sampling and tidal influences on groundwater were also discussed	Jeff Brownlee
6/17/2004	Update or Other Action	File number assigned and entered into the Fileroom DB and CS DB.	Alyce Hughey
7/28/2004	Site Characterization Workplan Approved	CS staff reviewed a workplan for a remedial investigation at the Airport Staging Area Fire Training Pit FUDS in Kodiak. The remedial investigation has been ongoing this summer. A removal action in 2002 removed approximately 20,000 cubic yards of impacted soil from the source area. A plume of dominantly DRO contamination with a thick smear zone has moved downgradient of the Fire Training Pit and toward the Buskin River. The Corps of Engineers has been using a rapid optical screening tool using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) technology to help characterize the site. The LIF is sensitive to PAHs in the contamination and fluoresces in proportion to the concentration. The next phase of work which the subject workplan applies to is the placement of 22 soil borings, 11 monitoring wells and eight sediment samples along depositional areas of the Buskin River. Characterization data will be used to develop a Feasibility Study to decide on a preferred remedy to address the remaining contamination	Jeff Brownlee
8/12/2004	Meeting or Teleconference Held	CS staff participated in a comment resolution meeting for a remedial investigation workplan for the Fire Training Pit FUDS in Kodiak. The EPA, Coast Guard, and Corps of Engineers also participated in the meeting. Agreement was reached on the placement of thirteen monitoring wells and ten soil borings. The investigation is designed to fill data gaps and provide adequate information to produce a Feasibility Study. A smear zone approximately four feet thick extends several hundred feet from the source area. Approximately 20,000 cubic yards of impacted soil was excavated from the source area in 2002	Jeff Brownlee
8/19/2004	Update or Other Action	Contaminated Sites staff performed site inspections at several formerly used defense sites on Kodiak Island. Building A-711 and the Fire Training Pit are currently being investigated and the preferred remedial remedy is being implemented at Drury Gulch. Non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) was found in a well at Building A-711 beyond the known plume boundary. NAPL was also noted in an open-hole boring downgradient of the Fire Training Pit toward the Buskin River. The work at Drury has been on hold temporarily while a data quality problem is worked out. The contract laboratory discovered that the lab method (Accelerated Solvent Extraction) for PCB analysis was biasing the results low so the majority of samples were rerun using a different method (sonification). The contractor is analyzing the data and planning a strategy to incorporate the new information	Jeff Brownlee
9/24/2004	Update or Other Action	File number issued 2601.38.073	Aggie Blandford
10/27/2004	Meeting or Teleconference Held	staff participated in a Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting to discuss the status of Formerly Used Defense Sites on the island. The Corps of Engineers also participated at the meeting. The DEC and COE contractor also participated in a public open house to solicit comments on the cleanup work being done on Kodiak. Turnout was light as is typical in Kodiak	Jeff Brownlee
12/15/2004	Update or Other Action	Reviewed the file and requested an update on any corrective actions tha toccurred during 2004. Have data on all soil thermally remdiated during 2004.	Donald Seagren
1/12/2005	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Contaminated Sites staff participated in a meeting with the Coast Guard, EPA, Corps of Engineers and contractors to discuss remedial investigations at two Formerly Used Defense Sites on Kodiak. The Fire Training Pit and Building A-711 both have large contaminant masses at the smear zone and are near the Buskin River, a major salmon stream on the island. The 2004 remedial investigations at both sites filled in several data gaps. A list of remedial alternatives was discussed for inclusion in the upcoming Feasibility Studies. The cleanup team decided that a treatability study would be useful to gauge the biological response and area of influence to additives to supplement attenuation. The treatability study is planned for the summer of 2005	Jeff Brownlee
2/17/2005	Site Characterization Report Approved	Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a draft Remedial Investigation Report for the Fire Training Pit Formerly Used Defense Site on Kodiak. 18 monitoring wells were installed and 24 Laser Induced Fluorescence probes were advanced to delineate the plume. The investigation showed Diesel Range Organics and low level Volatile Organic Carbons in a smear zone originating at the Fire Training Pit and extending for about 700’ toward the Buskin River. The smear zone contamination is 2-4 feet in thickness due primarily tidal influence from nearby Womens Bay. The plume appears to be in equilibrium. Approximately 20,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils were removed from the Fire training Pit source area in 2001	Jeff Brownlee
6/17/2005	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Contaminated Sites staff participated in a public open house for Formerly Used Defense Sites on Kodiak Island. Staff also conducted several site inspections. Proposed Plans for the Little Navy Annex Site and the Cape Chiniak Site were introduced at the Kodiak Island Borough assembly meeting. The open house had a moderate amount of interest with several community members stopping by to discuss sites and pick up information.	Jeff Brownlee
7/21/2005	Update or Other Action	Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a draft/final Remedial Investigation report for the Airport Staging Area Formerly Used Defense Site in Kodiak, Alaska. The Fire Training Pit was used as a fire training area in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Free product was sprayed on the ground and ignited. A 20,000 cubic yard source soil interim removal action was completed in 2001. The area is near the Buskin River and is tidally influenced. A thick smear zone of primarily Diesel Range Organic contamination extends from the former training pit almost to the river. Data seems to show that the plume is attenuating at the edges and there doesn’t seem to be current contaminant migration into the estuary. A treatability study is planned for later this summer with a feasibility study this fall to consider remedial options	Jeff Brownlee
8/30/2005	Update or Other Action	Contaminated Sites staff participated in site inspections at several Formerly Used Defense Sites on Kodiak Island. The EPA and the Corps of Engineers contractor also participated in the inspections. Sites visited include Cape Chiniak, Long Island, Millers Field, Asphalt Disposal Area, Drury Gulch, Building A-711, and the Airport Staging Area	Jeff Brownlee
12/12/2005	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Contaminated Sites staff participated in a scoping meeting for Feasibility Studies at two Formerly Used Defense Sites in Kodiak, Alaska. The meeting was attended by the Corps of Engineers and their contractor, the U.S. Coast Guard and their contractor, the EPA and their contractor and the ADEC. The purpose of the meeting was to review data, results and conclusions from treatability studies at the Airport Staging Area Fire Training Pit and Building A-711. Both sites are near the Buskin River and have similar technical challenges. Both sites have large smear zones of primarily Diesel Range Organics above and below the water table. The treatability studies helped eliminate several technologies including Thermally Enhanced Soil Vapor Extraction, Solidification, Slurry Phase Biological Treatment and Bucket Augering. For the Feasibility Study we have retained Bioventing, Air Sparging, Chemical Oxidation, Open excavation with Thermal Desorption and Enhanced Bioremediation	Jeff Brownlee

1/19/2006	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Contaminated Sites staff participated in a Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting to discuss the recent documents available for the review and the field work the COE will be doing this summer in the island. The COE and DEC were interviewed on public radio to discuss the Kodiak projects and overall contaminated site cleanup process. There was also a public open house to give community members the opportunity to bring up concerns and ask questions in person. As typical for Kodiak turn out was light	Jeff Brownlee
4/19/2006	Update or Other Action	CS staff reviewed a Treatability Study and Pilot Study Design work plan for the Former Fire Training Pit and Building A-711 Building Formerly Used Defense Sites in Kodiak. The remedial alternatives oxidation and biosparging will be tested for contaminant mass and concentration reduction. The oxidation test will be performed at Building A-711 using RegenOx as a reagent. The groundwater will be monitored to check for migration of contamination into the aquifer. The biosparging test at the Fire Training Pit is designed to be a full scale test using sixteen injection wells. If the test is successful the test array will be able to utilized for the long term remediation	Jeff Brownlee
4/20/2006	Update or Other Action	CS staff reviewed a Treatability Study and Pilot Study Design work plan for the Former Fire Training Pit and Building A-711 Building Formerly Used Defense Sites in Kodiak. The remedial alternatives oxidation and biosparging will be tested for contaminant mass and concentration reduction. The oxidation test will be performed at Building A-711 using RegenOx as a reagent.

If the test is successful the test array will be able to utilized for the long term remediation	Jeff Brownlee
5/24/2006	Update or Other Action	Staff participated in site inspections with a Corps of Engineers Pacific Ocean Division representative on Kodiak Island. Several Formerly Used Defense sites were toured by helicopter including Burma Road, Long Island, Buskin Lake, Cape Chiniak Tracking Station and Little Navy Annex	Jeff Brownlee
6/1/2006	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Staff participated with the Corps of Engineers (COE) and their contractor in a public open house for the Formerly Used Defense Sites on Kodiak Island. We also attended the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting. The COE gave a briefing on the work planned for this summer. The open house showed light interest which is normal for Kodiak. Staff also met with Coast Guard environmental personnel and inspected several sites on the Coast Guard Base	Jeff Brownlee
6/19/2006	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Contaminated Sites staff participated in a comment resolution meeting for the Airport Staging Area Formerly Used Defense Site on Kodiak Island. A bioventing system with eight injection wells will be installed for an 18 month test. The strategy is to raise the soil gas oxygen concentration to facilitate aerobic bacterial degradation of the primarily Diesel Range Organic contaminant mass. Pre test and post test soil samples will be collected to try to quantify system performance and decide if the remedial alternative is feasible for the entire site	Jeff Brownlee
6/21/2006	Update or Other Action	Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a pilot study work plan for the Fire Training Pit Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) on Kodiak Island. The feasibility study chosen remedial option is bioventing. The system will have eight injection wells using a pulsed rotation pushing air into one well at a time to keep soil gas oxygen levels elevated. The pulse method will allow the contractor to use a much smaller blower and hence keep operating costs reduced. The test is designed to run 18 months. Pre and post soil sampling will attempt to statistically evaluate contaminant reduction. The inherent heterogeneity of subsurface soil sampling will cause this evaluation to be a challenging part of the test process	Jeff Brownlee
7/17/2006	Institutional Control Record Established	Site included in the USCG Land Use Control Assurance Plan.	Jeff Brownlee
9/14/2006	Update or Other Action	Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a Land Use Assurance Plan for Environmental Activities for the U.S. Coast Guard Base in Kodiak. The document outlines a plan to track institutional controls (ICs) at the various contaminated sites on base. There are currently about fifteen sites on base with institutional controls. The plan objective is for the Coast Guard Environmental Section to screen contractor and other activity such as above or below ground construction, well drilling, etc. against the sites listed in the plan. Work can then be tailored to meet any existing ICs	Jeff Brownlee
9/18/2006	Update or Other Action	Staff participated in site inspections at several Formerly Used Defense Sites and Coast Guard sites at Kodiak. The EPA and Coast Guard also participated in the inspections. Remedial actions were being conducted at Drury Gulch, Airport Staging Area Fire Training Pit and Building A-711. The team spent a fair amount of time going over historic data with the contractor for the PCB cleanup at Drury Gulch. We also observed a test run of direct push sampling using a Geoprobe rig at the gulch for sampling data gap areas that were erroneously backfilled due to an extraction method error at the lab	Jeff Brownlee
3/5/2007	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Contaminated Sites staff participated in an annual update meeting for the formerly used defense sites on Kodiak Island. The meeting was held in Seattle and attended by representatives for the Corps of Engineers (COE), Coast Guard, Environmental Protection Agency, and DEC. The agenda concentrated on three sites that are in active investigation or remediation, the Fire Training Pit, Building A-711 and the Drury Gulch Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) cleanup. The Fire Training Pit is in the beginning of a 16 month pilot study test using sparging to enhance natural biodegradation of the smear zone contamination. Building A-711 has completed a pilot study using an oxygen enhancer to attempt chemical oxidation of a fairly large heavy end petroleum plume. The pilot study showed that the total oxygen demand of the system was too large to overcome without being cost prohibitive. The oxidant was also show to mobilize lighter fraction hydrocarbons into the aquifer. The alternative option discussed were limited removal of the most impacted area. We will also revisit monitored natural attenuation as the plume is almost immobile. The majority of the meeting centered on the PCB cleanup at Drury Gulch. The team discussed the past work summary, estimated quantities in place, path forward to completion, storm water controls, and the use of the 95% upper confidence limit	Jeff Brownlee
6/14/2007	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Contaminated Sites staff participated in public meetings and site inspections for the Kodiak Formerly Used Defenses Sites (FUDS) on Kodiak Island. Three FUDS are active this summer including a continuing PCB removal at Drury Gulch, a below water smear zone excavation at Building A-711 and a biosparge pilot test at the Fire Training Pit. The Corps of Engineers and their contractor participated in a public open house and Kodiak Island Borough assembly meeting. Turnout was light for the open house, which is typical for Kodiak	Jeff Brownlee
7/12/2007	Update or Other Action	Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a revised feasibility study for the former Fire Training Pit at the Airport Staging Area Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS). The site was initially screened for about 45 different remedial technologies. This study evaluated the five that were carried through the draft process and included monitored natural attenuation, excavation with off site disposal, excavation with on site treatment, chemical oxidation and biosparging. The final evaluation will be done after a biosparging pilot test that is currently operating has been completed. The preferred remedy will be presented in the proposed plan for the site	Jeff Brownlee
11/2/2007	Site Characterization Report Approved	Contaminated Sites staff participated in a Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting and public open house for the semiannual community update on the Formerly Used Defense Sites on Kodiak Island. The Corps of Engineers and their contractor also participated in the meetings. PCB impacted soil is continuing to be removed from Drury Gulch. About 860-tons of TSCA material and 1,500-tons of non-TSCA material have been removed this season with an estimated 700-tons remaining over cleanup levels. The diesel and residual range organic impacted soil removal has been completed at Building A-711. Approximately 16,000-tons of impacted soil was removed and stockpiled for future on island thermal remediation. The Airport Staging Area Fire Training Pit biosparging pilot study continues to operate with periodic groundwater and soil gas monitoring to evaluated performance. Interest was moderate at the open house with several people stopping by to discuss projects	Jeff Brownlee
3/21/2008	Exposure Tracking Model Ranking	Initial ranking with ETM completed.	Jeff Brownlee
5/22/2008	Update or Other Action	Contaminated Sites staff reviewed and commented on a performance report for a biosparging system at a FUDS in Kodiak. The Airport Staging Area Fire Training Pit has been undergoing a pilot study with eight air injection wells in an attempt to enhance biodegradation of a primarily Diesel Range Organic impacted smear zone over a large area below about 12-feet of overburden. Follow up soil and water sampling after 16-months of the system being on don’t show a statistically significant decrease in contamination, however visual indications and soil gas measurements show a healthy bacteria population and oxidation changes in the smear zone. The department recommended the system stay on until we get another round of water data to see if any trends develop and to make sure there is no contaminant transport to a nearby estuary	Jeff Brownlee
8/12/2008	Site Visit	Contaminated Sites staff conducted site inspections with the EPA and Coast Guard at several Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) and Coast Guard sites on Kodiak Island. Field work had been done this season at Building A-711, Building A-141, Drury Gulch, Airport Staging Area, and the Site 3 Laundry. PCB and TCE soil removals have been completed at Drury Gulch and the contractor is working on the cap over the entire gulch and the drainage channel realignment. The biosparging pilot study at the Fire Training Pit is being evaluated and the cleanup team has decided to go back to the feasibility study and consider other remedial alternatives for the site	Jeff Brownlee
8/12/2008	Site Visit	At the request of the project manager the quality assurance officer was onsite on August 12, 2008 to take part in a site visit. Several sites were inspected including the former fire training pit, and Drury Gulch remeditation project. No workplan deviations were noted.	Brenton Porter
1/22/2009	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Contaminated Sites staff participated with the Corps of Engineers in a Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting and a public open house to discuss Formerly Used Defense Sites on Kodiak Island.

3/19/2009	Meeting or Teleconference Held	Contaminated Sites staff participated in an annual scoping meeting with the Corps of Engineers, EPA and Coast Guard for the Kodiak FUDS projects. Agenda items included review of the 2008 field season, and planned investigations and remedial actions at Building A-711, Airport Staging Area and various Coast Guard Sites including the Lube Pits, Building A-141, Buskin Beach, and the Asphalt Disposal Area	Jeff Brownlee
5/21/2010	Site Visit	Contaminated sites staff conducted site visits and meetings for several Kodiak FUDS including Building A-711, Drury Gulch, Airport Staging Area, and Buskin Beach. Staff conducted an extensive site walk of Drury Gulch which experienced significant erosion and sedimentation onto the cap as a result of a 100-year storm event during which 8 inches of rain fell on Kodiak Island within 24 hours. The USACE is conducting long term monitoring at both Drury Gulch and Building A-711. Groundwater sampling was conducted at A-711 during the week of this site visit. Sediment will be sampled from the cap surface, outside the fenced area, and in the lower drainage areas of Drury Gulch later this summer. Extensive erosion control, reseeding, and sediment removal is also planned later in 2010. The Airport Staging Area is also being scheduled for a round of groundwater monitoring for October 2010. The site visit was attended by USACE, ADEC, and contracted FES personnel. A meeting was conducted on May 21 with USCG environmental management staff at the Kodiak Base Support Unit to discuss the status of visited sites with emphasis on the storm water drainage issues resulting from Drury Gulch.	Curtis Dunkin
9/22/2010	Site Visit	During an annual site prioritization meeting on Kodiak with representatives from the EPA, USCG, USACE, and ADEC, contaminated sites staff conducted site visits at the following Kodiak FUDS: Drury Gulch/Site 18, Building A711, Airport Staging Area, Former Navy Landfill/Red Lake Site 2, Buskin Beach, and the Site 9 AvGas Tank Farm.	Curtis Dunkin
11/3/2015	Update or Other Action	CS staff reviewed the draft 2014 Airport Staging Area Groundwater Monitoring Report and submitted comments to the Army Corps of Engineers. The draft monitoring report summarizes the 2014 sampling and analysis activities and results which, along with previous investigation efforts and results will be used to evaluate and determine the path forward and remedy for the site. The 2014 field observations and analytical results indicate that the soil and groundwater petroleum contaminant plumes are steady state and that contaminants are not migrating to the Buskin River and associated estuary.

Jeff Brownlee

5/3/2001

Update or Other Action

Staff reviewed a Draft Remedial Investigation/Removal Action Report for the Airport Staging Area in Kodiak. Four Areas of Concern were investigated including the Advanced Underwater Research (AUW) Facility, Building 520, Tank Area Two and the Fire Training Pit. The COE calculated soil cleanup levels using Method 3, however the Total Organic Carbon input data did not appear statistically valid. We requested more data or a more conservative approach. Tank Area Two and Building 520 will require additional soil removal to meet proposed cleanup levels. The AUW building appears to have no contaminants of concern. The Fire Training Pit has increasing levels of DRO in groundwater and light detections of volatile and semi-volatile organics including TCE. Approximately 20,000 cubic yards of source impacted soil is scheduled to be excavated this summer. The site is adjacent to the Buskin River. One well approaching the river has 0.25 feet of free product. Sentry wells will need to be installed and potential ecological risk to the river and wetlands evaluated.

Meeting or Teleconference Held

CS staff reviewed a briefing document and participated in a scoping meeting for the Airport Staging Area (ASA) FUDS in Kodiak. The ASA is two sites, the former Fire Training Pit and Building 520. An interim removal action was performed at both sites in 2001. About 20,000 cubic yards of soil impacted with dominantly DRO was removed from the Fire Training Pit and thermally remediated. The scoping meeting was to discuss the remedial strategy to cleanup the remaining downgradient 2-foot thick smear zone that extends toward the Buskin River along with groundwater contamination. The Coast Guard, EPA, and DEC are recommending more site characterization before doing a feasibility study. According to the COE a new Inventory Project Report (INPR) will need to be produced before RI/FS work can be done on the project. The current INPR is for Remedial Action work, so there may be a delay in the process for the INPR to go through COE approval. Petroleum contamination from a former UST at Building 520 has been removed and thermally remediated. Groundwater sampling shows levels below Table C cleanup values at the Building 520 site

Staff participated in a scoping meeting for the Airport Staging Area FUDS on Kodiak Island. The EPA, Coast Guard (landowner), consultants and DEC participated in the meeting. The site has a large smear zone of DRO and GRO impacted soil and groundwater adjacent to the Buskin River. The purpose of the meeting was to agree on the investigation approach to ensure adequate information to proceed to a feasibility study. We agreed to pursue a soil screening effort using Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) verified with a percentage of borings and samples. This information will then be used to plan monitoring well installation. We also discussed the level of effort needed to evaluate ecological risk from contaminant transport to the Buskin River. The point of compliance boundary, sediment sampling, background sampling and tidal influences on groundwater were also discussed

Site Characterization Workplan Approved

CS staff reviewed a workplan for a remedial investigation at the Airport Staging Area Fire Training Pit FUDS in Kodiak. The remedial investigation has been ongoing this summer. A removal action in 2002 removed approximately 20,000 cubic yards of impacted soil from the source area. A plume of dominantly DRO contamination with a thick smear zone has moved downgradient of the Fire Training Pit and toward the Buskin River. The Corps of Engineers has been using a rapid optical screening tool using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) technology to help characterize the site. The LIF is sensitive to PAHs in the contamination and fluoresces in proportion to the concentration. The next phase of work which the subject workplan applies to is the placement of 22 soil borings, 11 monitoring wells and eight sediment samples along depositional areas of the Buskin River. Characterization data will be used to develop a Feasibility Study to decide on a preferred remedy to address the remaining contamination

8/19/2004

Update or Other Action

Contaminated Sites staff performed site inspections at several formerly used defense sites on Kodiak Island. Building A-711 and the Fire Training Pit are currently being investigated and the preferred remedial remedy is being implemented at Drury Gulch. Non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) was found in a well at Building A-711 beyond the known plume boundary. NAPL was also noted in an open-hole boring downgradient of the Fire Training Pit toward the Buskin River. The work at Drury has been on hold temporarily while a data quality problem is worked out. The contract laboratory discovered that the lab method (Accelerated Solvent Extraction) for PCB analysis was biasing the results low so the majority of samples were rerun using a different method (sonification). The contractor is analyzing the data and planning a strategy to incorporate the new information

Meeting or Teleconference Held

Contaminated Sites staff participated in a meeting with the Coast Guard, EPA, Corps of Engineers and contractors to discuss remedial investigations at two Formerly Used Defense Sites on Kodiak. The Fire Training Pit and Building A-711 both have large contaminant masses at the smear zone and are near the Buskin River, a major salmon stream on the island. The 2004 remedial investigations at both sites filled in several data gaps. A list of remedial alternatives was discussed for inclusion in the upcoming Feasibility Studies. The cleanup team decided that a treatability study would be useful to gauge the biological response and area of influence to additives to supplement attenuation. The treatability study is planned for the summer of 2005

Jeff Brownlee

2/17/2005

Site Characterization Report Approved

Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a draft Remedial Investigation Report for the Fire Training Pit Formerly Used Defense Site on Kodiak. 18 monitoring wells were installed and 24 Laser Induced Fluorescence probes were advanced to delineate the plume. The investigation showed Diesel Range Organics and low level Volatile Organic Carbons in a smear zone originating at the Fire Training Pit and extending for about 700’ toward the Buskin River. The smear zone contamination is 2-4 feet in thickness due primarily tidal influence from nearby Womens Bay. The plume appears to be in equilibrium. Approximately 20,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils were removed from the Fire training Pit source area in 2001

Update or Other Action

Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a draft/final Remedial Investigation report for the Airport Staging Area Formerly Used Defense Site in Kodiak, Alaska. The Fire Training Pit was used as a fire training area in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Free product was sprayed on the ground and ignited. A 20,000 cubic yard source soil interim removal action was completed in 2001. The area is near the Buskin River and is tidally influenced. A thick smear zone of primarily Diesel Range Organic contamination extends from the former training pit almost to the river. Data seems to show that the plume is attenuating at the edges and there doesn’t seem to be current contaminant migration into the estuary. A treatability study is planned for later this summer with a feasibility study this fall to consider remedial options

Meeting or Teleconference Held

Contaminated Sites staff participated in a comment resolution meeting for the Airport Staging Area Formerly Used Defense Site on Kodiak Island. A bioventing system with eight injection wells will be installed for an 18 month test. The strategy is to raise the soil gas oxygen concentration to facilitate aerobic bacterial degradation of the primarily Diesel Range Organic contaminant mass. Pre test and post test soil samples will be collected to try to quantify system performance and decide if the remedial alternative is feasible for the entire site

Jeff Brownlee

6/21/2006

Update or Other Action

Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a pilot study work plan for the Fire Training Pit Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) on Kodiak Island. The feasibility study chosen remedial option is bioventing. The system will have eight injection wells using a pulsed rotation pushing air into one well at a time to keep soil gas oxygen levels elevated. The pulse method will allow the contractor to use a much smaller blower and hence keep operating costs reduced. The test is designed to run 18 months. Pre and post soil sampling will attempt to statistically evaluate contaminant reduction. The inherent heterogeneity of subsurface soil sampling will cause this evaluation to be a challenging part of the test process

Meeting or Teleconference Held

Contaminated Sites staff participated in an annual update meeting for the formerly used defense sites on Kodiak Island. The meeting was held in Seattle and attended by representatives for the Corps of Engineers (COE), Coast Guard, Environmental Protection Agency, and DEC. The agenda concentrated on three sites that are in active investigation or remediation, the Fire Training Pit, Building A-711 and the Drury Gulch Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) cleanup. The Fire Training Pit is in the beginning of a 16 month pilot study test using sparging to enhance natural biodegradation of the smear zone contamination. Building A-711 has completed a pilot study using an oxygen enhancer to attempt chemical oxidation of a fairly large heavy end petroleum plume. The pilot study showed that the total oxygen demand of the system was too large to overcome without being cost prohibitive. The oxidant was also show to mobilize lighter fraction hydrocarbons into the aquifer. The alternative option discussed were limited removal of the most impacted area. We will also revisit monitored natural attenuation as the plume is almost immobile. The majority of the meeting centered on the PCB cleanup at Drury Gulch. The team discussed the past work summary, estimated quantities in place, path forward to completion, storm water controls, and the use of the 95% upper confidence limit

Update or Other Action

Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a revised feasibility study for the former Fire Training Pit at the Airport Staging Area Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS). The site was initially screened for about 45 different remedial technologies. This study evaluated the five that were carried through the draft process and included monitored natural attenuation, excavation with off site disposal, excavation with on site treatment, chemical oxidation and biosparging. The final evaluation will be done after a biosparging pilot test that is currently operating has been completed. The preferred remedy will be presented in the proposed plan for the site

Site Characterization Report Approved

Contaminated Sites staff participated in a Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting and public open house for the semiannual community update on the Formerly Used Defense Sites on Kodiak Island. The Corps of Engineers and their contractor also participated in the meetings. PCB impacted soil is continuing to be removed from Drury Gulch. About 860-tons of TSCA material and 1,500-tons of non-TSCA material have been removed this season with an estimated 700-tons remaining over cleanup levels. The diesel and residual range organic impacted soil removal has been completed at Building A-711. Approximately 16,000-tons of impacted soil was removed and stockpiled for future on island thermal remediation. The Airport Staging Area Fire Training Pit biosparging pilot study continues to operate with periodic groundwater and soil gas monitoring to evaluated performance. Interest was moderate at the open house with several people stopping by to discuss projects

Update or Other Action

Contaminated Sites staff reviewed and commented on a performance report for a biosparging system at a FUDS in Kodiak. The Airport Staging Area Fire Training Pit has been undergoing a pilot study with eight air injection wells in an attempt to enhance biodegradation of a primarily Diesel Range Organic impacted smear zone over a large area below about 12-feet of overburden. Follow up soil and water sampling after 16-months of the system being on don’t show a statistically significant decrease in contamination, however visual indications and soil gas measurements show a healthy bacteria population and oxidation changes in the smear zone. The department recommended the system stay on until we get another round of water data to see if any trends develop and to make sure there is no contaminant transport to a nearby estuary

Site Visit

Contaminated sites staff conducted site visits and meetings for several Kodiak FUDS including Building A-711, Drury Gulch, Airport Staging Area, and Buskin Beach. Staff conducted an extensive site walk of Drury Gulch which experienced significant erosion and sedimentation onto the cap as a result of a 100-year storm event during which 8 inches of rain fell on Kodiak Island within 24 hours. The USACE is conducting long term monitoring at both Drury Gulch and Building A-711. Groundwater sampling was conducted at A-711 during the week of this site visit. Sediment will be sampled from the cap surface, outside the fenced area, and in the lower drainage areas of Drury Gulch later this summer. Extensive erosion control, reseeding, and sediment removal is also planned later in 2010. The Airport Staging Area is also being scheduled for a round of groundwater monitoring for October 2010. The site visit was attended by USACE, ADEC, and contracted FES personnel. A meeting was conducted on May 21 with USCG environmental management staff at the Kodiak Base Support Unit to discuss the status of visited sites with emphasis on the storm water drainage issues resulting from Drury Gulch.
