5/9/2006 Update or Other Action The Draft Alternative Cleanup Level Demonstration Project Report, Shungnak FSA, April 2006 was reviewed and a comment letter sent to the AKARNG. Debra Caillouet
5/4/2007 Cleanup Level(s) Approved The transmittal letter submitted with the report requests alternative soil cleanup levels developed using method three under 18 AAC 75.340(a)(3) and proposed in the report be approved for use at the site. The cleanup levels proposed are based on a site specific total organic carbon (TOC) content in the soil of 9.6 percent rather than the default 0.1 percent, dry bulk soil density 1.86 g/cm3 (default 1.5 g/cm3 ) and an average moisture content of 11.2 % (default 10%). The average moisture content was obtained by averaging the results of one sampling event. DEC does not concur with the use of the average moisture value, as it should be obtained over multiple seasons. DEC does concur with the use of the TOC value and the bulk soil density. This results in the gasoline range organics (GRO) soil cleanup level being capped at the maximum allowable level of 1400 mg/kg. This cleanup level and other petroleum range and constituent cleanup levels, which are based on the migration to groundwater pathway, are shown in the table below. Contaminant of Concern Alternative Soil Cleanup Level Gasoline Range Organics 1400 mg/Kg Diesel Range Organics 2400 mg/Kg Benzene 0.0514 mg/Kg Toluene 26 mg/Kg Ethylbenzene 34.4 mg/Kg Xylenes 492 mg/Kg Debra Caillouet
