Problems/Comments

The site was a former anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) site in the cold war era. Site consisted of 9 bunkers constructed primarily of empty drums, 15 concrete foundations, a UST, and some type of septic well. There is evidence of extensive buried drums that may be the source for the free-phase (roughly 4 acres) and dissolved (roughly 11-acre) groundwater plumes. Sheen noticed on surface water pond and a seep exists from the soil. The site is located off the Eielson Farm Road in a rural residential area. Drinking water wells are within a mile downgradient of the site. A debris removal effort occured in 1997, conducted by the Air Force. The groundwater plume was well delineated in 1999 and 2000. Diesel range organics (DRO) were found in the ground water in dissolved phase and free product, but benzene was not identified. According to the AMEC investigation, the dissolved phase plume does not extend across the property boundary. The source area was investigated with GPR and believed to primarily buried drums or underground tanks, but extent of the source and soil contamination has not been completely delineated as of 2001. Site was transferred from Eielson AFB management because it was accepted into the Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) program in 2003, which is administered by the Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District. The FUDS program has funding programmed for this site beginning in FY2006.

Additional soil, surface-water, sediment, and ground-water samples will be collected and sent to a off-site lab. Emily Youcha
5/1/2006 Meeting or Teleconference Held DEC staff attended the Eielson AFB Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meeting, which solely covered the Eielson Farm Road AAA Site. The COE presented a brief history of the site and their plans for investigation this summer. Several neighboring property owners were present at the meeting. Emily Youcha
5/22/2006 Site Characterization Workplan Approved Contaminated Sites staff approved a site characterization report for the Eielson Farm Road Anti-Aircraft Artillery Site. The Army Corps of Engineers will be using the rapid optical screening tool / laser induced fluorescence to characterize petroleum contamination. Emily Youcha
6/2/2006 Meeting or Teleconference Held Staff performed a site visit during the direct push drilling and LIF/ROST techniques. An area upgradient of the pond had strong petroleum odors. At the time of visit, over 30 holes were drilled and up to 100 holes would be drilled. Some contamination was found beneath the UST and contamination was located in the bunker area and some "hot spots" adjacent to the pond. Summer field work will continue through June/July. Emily Youcha
10/13/2006 Meeting or Teleconference Held I had a meeting with the FUDS project manager today. They briefed me on the preliminary findings of the summer investigation. It looks like most of the contamination is in the soil/ground-water interface (smear zone). Little contamination remains in the soil. Ground-water contamination is limited to onsite, it does not appear that contamination is migrating off the site. DEC should expecct an RI report sometime in November/December 2006, a Feasibility Study in mid-January 2007 and Proposed Plans/Decision Documents 2007-2008, with a remedy beginning in the summer of 2008.

5/7/2007 Update or Other Action Reviewed and sent comments on draft 2006 Remedial Investigation Report Tamar Stephens
8/24/2007 Site Characterization Report Approved Sent approval letter for final 2006 Remedial Investigation Report. The report describes a 2006 investigation of four potential point sources at the Eielson Farm Road Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) site: the main complex area, an underground storage tank (UST) area, a former drum disposal area, and another drum area identified during the site assessment. The investigation included sampling of soil and groundwater throughout the site, and sediment and surface water sampling of a pond. The report shows that no significant contamination has been found at either of the drum areas. Groundwater was found at depths ranging from 1.2 to 10.1 feet below ground surface. A plume of contaminated groundwater associated with the main complex extends northeast from the main complex and covers approximately 4.2 acres. A plume of free-phase product is present on top of the contaminated groundwater plume. The groundwater plume extends to a down-gradient pond, where diesel range organics were found in the sediment. A smaller plume extends northwest from the underground storage tank area, covering approximately 3,300 square feet. Soil contamination is present primarily in the smear zone associated with the contaminated groundwater plumes. Tamar Stephens

The selected remedy in the Decision Document has the following major components. Excavation of petroleum-contaminated soil and sediment consisting of an estimated 16,600 cubic yards of soil and 280 cubic yards of sediment; Transportation of contaminated soil and sediment to a treatment/disposal facility; Free product recovery from the open excavations; Backfill of the excavations; Revegetation of the site; Repair any damage to Eielson Farm Road resulting from implementation of the selected remedy; Evaluation of the vapor intrusion pathway; Annual groundwater monitoring to establish baseline conditions and evaluate the reduction of contaminant concentrations over time. Tamar Stephens
7/15/2011 Meeting or Teleconference Held Contaminated sites staff met with contractor representatives for a briefing on the draft work plan for cleanup of the site. Tamar Stephens
8/5/2011 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC staff reviewed and sent comments on the draft Work Plan and Quality Assurance Plan. Tamar Stephens
8/23/2011 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Contaminated sites staff reviewed the Initial Road Inspection Report. The report presents the current use and status of the section of Eielson Farm Road between the retired Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) site and the Richardson Highway, and reports the potential for additional damages to the road due to the passage of loaded side-dump trucks transporting contaminated soil for treatment. The report outlines some potential repairs that may be needed after the transportation of soil to and from the site. Potential damage to the road was a concern raised by local residents during review of the Proposed Plan. The Corps of Engineers plans to conduct road repairs attributed to the truck traffic following completion of the cleanup project. Tamar Stephens
9/7/2011 CERCLA Remedial Design/Remedial Action Plan Approved DEC staff sent an approval letter for the final Eielson Farm Road AAA Contaminated Soil Removal Work Plan. This work plan addresses cleanup of petroleum contaminated soil at three areas: the main site area, the pond area, and the former underground storage tank (UST) in the southwestern portion of the site. Tasks include: 1)site clearing and topsoil collection; demolition, removal,and disposal of concree sructures and associated conduit, piping, and waste material; trenching, ultra-violet optical screening tool (UVOST) field screening, and analytical sampling to more accurately define the plume boundary; excavation of several feet of clean overburden over an approximately two-acre area; excavation of contaminated soil from the smear zone, including two-three feet below the water table; transport of the soil to OIT for thermal treatment; and backfilling and revegetation of the excavation areas with treated soil, clean overburden, and topsoil. (Note: although this is not a CERCLA site, this action is the most representative action available in the database, and is considered appropriate because the Corps of Engineers is following the CERCLA process for this site.) Tamar Stephens
9/27/2011 Site Visit Contaminated sites staff conducted a site visit at the Eielson Farm Road Anti-Aircraft Artillery Site on 9/27/2011. The project involves removing several feet of clean overburden soil, excavating an estimated 30,000 tons of petroleum contaminated soil from the smear zone over approximately 2 acres area, and trucking the soil to nearby OIT for thermal treatment. The job site was clean, orderly, and operating efficiently. Overburden had been removed from approximately half of the site and about 10,000 tons of soil had been removed in the week since excavation activities began. The water table is high at present, and the contractor was excavating two to three feet below the water table to reach the bottom of the zone of contamination. Saturated soil is placed on top of contaminated soil to drain, and is reportedly draining well overnight, allowing it to be transported for treatment the next day. (Stephens) Tamar Stephens
5/3/2012 Meeting or Teleconference Held Project status meeting - Tamar Stephens met with Corps of Engineers staff for a briefing on work accomplished last fall and elements of the cleanup project to be completed in 2012. Tamar Stephens
1/31/2013 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Stephens reviewed and sent comments on the draft Remedial Action Report for Eielson Farm Road Anti-Aircraft Artillery site. This report was received on 1/17/2013. The report describes cleanup of 57,592 tons (28,275 cubic yards) of petroleum contaminated soil and sediments. The report describes additional characterization to refine the three dimensional boundaries of the soil plume, development of a plume model, excavation of a proof-of-concept area, and then the actual cleanup of the site. The site contained a large soil plume of approximately 3.5 acres of smear zone contamination and approximately one half acre of vadose contamination. The smaller area involved cleanup of petroleum contaminated soil at a former underground storage tank removal site, with an area of about 3,300 of contaminated soil remaining at the bottom of the former excavation. Cleanup at this site began in late summer of 2010, with site restoration activities completed in summer of 2011. Soil was excavated and transported to be thermally treated at OIT. Due to the large volume of soil, 8,000 tons of the soil remains to be treated and is currently stockpiled at OIT awaiting treatment. Petroleum contaminated groundwater remains at this site. The Corps of Engineers plans to install additional groundwater monitoring wells and begin sampling them during summer of 2013. Tamar Stephens
2/13/2013 Exposure Tracking Model Ranking A new updated ranking with ETM has been completed for source area 78198 Main Complex area. This update reflects changed conditions based on removal for off-site treatment of 28,275 cubuc yards of petroleum contaminated soil, backfilling of the excavation with clean soil, and revegetations of the site. Tamar Stephens
10/24/2013 CERCLA Remedial Action Completion Report Approved removal action report. No further cleanup is required at this time, however contamination remains at the site and is impacting groundwater. Monitoring of groundwater will be needed to determine if concentrations of contaminants in groundwater will decline to acceptable levels following the removal action. A monitoring well installation plan was received in September, 2013. Fred Vreeman
10/24/2013 Long Term Monitoring Established Approved workplan for installation of 5 additional monitoring wells. Approved initial sampling of wells to determine long term monitoring frequency. This workplan will establish a monitoring network to determine the effectiveness of the 2012 removal actions. DEC is not requiring additional soil removal at this time, however contamination remains and is impacting groundwater. Monitoring of groundwater will need to be conducted over several years to determine if concentrations of contaminants in groundwater will decline to acceptable levels. Fred Vreeman
10/31/2013 Site Visit DEC program manager Vreeman met with contractor project manager and technicians at the site and observed installation of 5 monitoring wells. The re-vegetation of the site is proceeding as expected. Existing monitoring wells were inspected as well. The monitoring well in place after this effort should be sufficient to determine long term results in groundwater following the removal action. Fred Vreeman
5/8/2014 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other Reviewed Monitoring Report Fred Vreeman
5/14/2014 Update or Other Action Received updated information from Alaska Dept of Natural Resources on property ownership. This site is owned by Alaska Mental Health Lands Trust. Property owner updated in database. Fred Vreeman
7/25/2014 Update or Other Action Site transferred to Eric Breitenberger. Fred Vreeman
9/21/2015 Update or Other Action Spoke with USACE project manager. 2015 monitoring activities have been delayed due to contract issues. Planned monitoring will include sampling of 9 wells, analyses to include GRO/DRO/RRO, VOCs, NO2/NO3/SO4, plus Fe and Mn. Eric Breitenberger
4/15/2016 Update or Other Action Draft 2016 Groundwater Monitoring Work Plan received 3/7. DEC comments provided on 4/1. Responses received 4/6 and accepted 4/15. Final version of work plan received 5/9/2016. Eric Breitenberger
11/29/2016 Update or Other Action 2016 groundwater monitoring report approved. The report describes results from groundwater samples taken in May 2016 from nine monitoring wells at the site. This was the second round of sampling following the large removal action in 2012. Samples were analyzed for GRO, DRO, RRO, VOCs, nitrogen, sulfate, iron, and manganese. None of the samples exceeded DEC cleanup levels. DEC concurs with the report’s recommendations that the next monitoring event be limited to DRO and RRO only, at the five wells within the historical source area, at a time of low groundwater elevation. The report did not specify when the next sampling event should occur; DEC recommended that sampling should be conducted in 2017 or 2018. Eric Breitenberger
5/24/2017 Update or Other Action Approved Final 2017 Groundwater Sampling Work Plan, Eielson Farm Road AAA. Work plan outlines sampling of 5 existing monitoring wells for diesel range organics, residual range organics, and dissolved iron and manganese. Gretchen Caudill

10/4/2021 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC issued comments for the Draft 2021-2022 GWM SAP. The SAP proposes further groundwater monitoring in an effort to determine if the site can be closed without LUCs. Prior recommendations included installing further monitoring well(s) to discern flow direction and plume dynamics, but do not appear to be scheduled in this work plan. Tim Sharp
10/13/2021 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other DEC approved the Final 2021-2022 GWM SAP. Further well installation will be determined by another round of groundwater sampling. Tim Sharp
8/11/2022 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other ADEC reviewed and submitted comments regarding the Eielson Farm Road AAA Site 2021 Groundwater Monitoring Draft Sampling Report, dated June 2022.This report describes the site background, previous investigations, objectives, results, and key personnel associated with the groundwater sampling activities during the fall of 2021 for the Eielson Farm Road Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) site located in Fairbanks, Alaska. The objective of this investigation was to determine the suitability of this site for closure without land use controls. The results of this investigation determined that diesel range organics and residual range organics are still being transported downgradient at concentrations greater than the 18 AAC 75.345 Table C groundwater cleanup levels. The site is not suitable for closure at this time and an additional annual monitoring event followed by a five-year frequency monitoring program was recommended. Additionally, further investigations regarding iron speciation were recommended, to obtain a better understanding of the natural attenuation processes occurring at the site. The ADEC does not concur on the recommendation to reduce the monitoring frequency to every five years until all data gaps have been addressed and contaminant trends are stable or decreasing. Ginna Quesada
12/27/2022 Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other After multiple rounds of comments, DEC approved the Eielson Farm Road AAA Site 2021 Groundwater Monitoring Final Sampling Report, dated November 2022. This report describes the site background, previous investigations, objectives, results, and key personnel associated with the groundwater sampling activities conducted during the fall of 2021 for the Eielson Farm Road Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) site located in Fairbanks, Alaska. The results of this investigation determined that diesel range organics and residual range organics are still being transported downgradient at concentrations greater than the 18 AAC 75.345 Table C groundwater cleanup levels. To determine if the plume is migrating offsite, one monitoring well will be installed directly north of the existing monitoring well cluster. The specific location of this new monitoring well will be proposed in a future work plan and the DEC will be able to provide input during the review process. Installing this new monitoring well and sampling the other existing wells will be conducted in the fall of 2023. Based on the results from the next sampling event, changes to the groundwater sampling will be discussed. Ginna Quesada
