7/19/1999 Update or Other Action In a letter dated July 15, 1999, Southeast Management Services informed ADEC of two modifications to the corrective action plan: (1) contaminated soils will be transported to Anchorage for use at a hot asphalt batch plant, and (2) proposed to screen out soils greater than 1-inch in diameter. Shah Alam

3/17/2000 Update or Other Action Alam informed Southeast Management Services that this contaminated site cannot be closed when soils left in place is still above cleanup level. Also all contaminated soils have not been thermally remediated at the OIT. ADEC will write a letter once ADEC receives all soil remediation data. Shah Alam
3/20/2000 Update or Other Action ADEC comments in a letter that there is evidence that contaminated soil left in place is contaminated above the established cleanup level for this site in (a) Equipment Repair Building, (b) Electric Generator Building and Fuel Tank Area, and, (c) Bunkhouse Fuel Tank Area. The report indicated that fertilizer/nutrients were added to enhance the natural degradation of the contaminants in these soils. ADEC requested a monitoring plan that describes the frequency and methodology of sampling (and analysis) to document cleanup progress. Shah Alam
5/17/2000 Update or Other Action The Southeast Management Services submitted "Evaluation of Soil Sample Results, Request for Revised Cleanup Criteria and Waiver Under 18 AAC 75.390." Shah Alam

1/12/2001 Update or Other Action Received faxed draft sampling plan to propose method three alternative cleanup levels, prepared by Southeast Management Services. Scott Pexton
1/24/2001 Update or Other Action Letter sent to Thomas Hanna with approval of final sampling and analysis plan. Scott Pexton
7/27/2001 Update or Other Action Received report entitled " 6/4/01 Sample Results and Method-3 Cleanup Criteria: Former 2-Moon Bay Logging Camp" prepared for Citifor Inc. by Southeast Management Services. Scott Pexton
1/30/2002 Meeting or Teleconference Held Pexton meets with Chuck Dobson at ADEC offices in Anchorage to briefly discuss the site including a bill for cost recovery and to deliver the NFRAP letter with Record of Decision. Scott Pexton
1/30/2002 Site Characterization Report Approved The site has been adequately characterized under 18 AAC 75.335 and information provided in the final cleanup report complies with 18 AAC 75.380. Therefore, ADEC approves the final report. Scott Pexton
1/30/2002 Record of Decision ADEC signed record of decision regarding approval of an alternative cleanup for Diesel range organic (DRO) hydrocarbons, institutional controls, and no further remedial action planned. Scott Pexton
1/30/2002 Cleanup Level(s) Approved ADEC approves an alternative cleanup level of 2,690 mg/kg for diesel-range organic (DRO) hydrocarbons in soil at the Two Moon Bay Logging Camp site, as described in Record of Decision. Cleanup Level for residual range organic (RRO hydrocarbons was 8,300 mg/kg based on Table B2 for the Over 40-inch precipitation zone under method two of 18 AAC 75.341. According to the 6/4/01 Sample Results and Method-3 Cleanup Criteria: Former 2-Moon Bay Logging Camp report prepared by Southeast Management Services, sixteen soil samples were analyzed for total organic carbon, DRO, and RRO. The percentages of total organic carbon (TOC) ranged from 0.54 to 1.8 % in the sixteen representative samples collected from the shotrock soil. The average TOC percentage was calculated as 1.22%. Based on the site-specific TOC data results, Southeast Management Services calculated alternative cleanup levels for DRO and RRO in soil. Southeast Management Services proposed a method three alternative cleanup level for DRO of 2,737 mg/kg. For RRO, they proposed to use the method two cleanup level of 8,300 mg/kg. ADEC evaluation of proposed alternative cleanup level. The maximum reported concentration of 2,600 mg/kg for RRO does not exceed the method two cleanup level of 8,300 mg/kg. Therefore, RRO is not considered a contaminant of concern at the site. ADEC calculated an alternative cleanup level of 2,690 mg/kg for DRO, slightly less than the proposed 2, 737 mg/kg level proposed by Southeast Management Services. ADEC used the ADEC Web-Based Method Three Calculator and changed the fraction of organic carbon (foc) parameter from a default value of 0.001 to the site-specific average of 0.012. Scott Pexton
1/30/2002 Institutional Control Record Established Because DRO remains in soil at the site at concentrations greater than method two cleanup levels for the migration to groundwater pathway, there are regulatory restrictions regarding disposal of the soil off-site. For example, 18 AAC 75.325(i) states that a responsible person shall obtain approval before disposing of soil or groundwater from a site. Also, 18 AAC 75.370 (b) states that a responsible person shall obtain approval before moving or disposing of soil from a site that is subject to the site cleanup rules. Therefore, the department has determined that an institutional control in accordance with 18 AAC 75.375 is required to ensure compliance with the applicable alternative cleanup level. The institutional control will consist of an entry into the ADEC Contaminated Sites Program's database to indicate that an institutional control has been established to require prior approval by ADEC before moving or disposing of soil from the site. Scott Pexton
1/30/2002 Conditional Closure Approved ADEC delivers a letter with Record of Decision enclosure to Chuck Dobson of Citifor, Inc. In accordance with 18 AAC 75.380, and based on the alternative cleanup levels approved for the site, AADEC determines that no further remedial action is necessary at the Two Moon Bay Logging Camp site. The AADEC Contaminated Sites Program database will be updated to reflect this change in site status. If contamination is identified at the site in the future that may pose a risk to human health or the environment, additional site characterization or cleanup action may be necessary. Scott Pexton
4/30/2002 Update or Other Action ADEC received letter from Department of Law indicating receipt of a check from Citifor, Inc. for cost recovery (Bill#CO25338). Scott Pexton
8/1/2002 Update or Other Action ADEC received notification from the Department of Law of receipt of a check for cost recovery for this site (Bill # CO25480). This concludes anticipated cost recoverable expenses tracked with ledger code #14691260 (this ledger code was used for both the Fish Bay Logging site and the Two-Moon Bay Logging site). Scott Pexton
