CERCLA FS |
Contaminated Sites (CS) staff reviewed and approved a final Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) report for Umiat Test Wells 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11. The draft report was written in 2003, but finalization of the report was never done until recently. The final report responded to comments made by CS staff seven years ago, and was finalized for the purpose of supporting a decision document. The test wells in the FFS all share similar characteristics in that they have either very limited pads or no pads, are surrounded by tundra, and have small volumes of soil that are contaminated with weathered fuel products. Accessing the sites to conduct any cleanup would require helicopter access or winter ice roads. The FFS evaluates five alternatives for treatment of soil at these sites, and concludes with the recommendation for no further action based on lack of risk. The department approved the Proposed Plan seven years ago, and a public meeting was held at the time, also recommending no further action at these well sites. The Corps of Engineers held a public meeting earlier this year to revisit the Proposed Plan due to the long lapse of time; CS staff attended the meeting. |

Umiat Test Well 1 has been closed (cleanup complete) and Test Well 9 will require cleanup of PCB contaminated soil. The Corps also gave update on work that is ongoing or planned for the near future at Umiat. |
