GIS Position Updated |
Using Figure 1 from a 2004 Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report-Final, Kenai Gas Field Pad 41-18, from OASIS Environmental, dated August 10, 2005, in conjunction with TopoZone Pro and the KPB Parcel Lookup, entered the coordinates for this site. Metadata includes No Topo Basemap, TopoZone Pro Street Maps, Black and White Aerial Photo, on a Medium Size Map, View Scale 1:10,000, Coordinated Datum NAD83. High degree of confidence in accuracy of location. |

Update or Other Action |
Reviewd 05 monitoring report with sampling events in July & October. No appreciable chnge in contaminant concentrations. Contaminant plume appears to migrating across pad. Surface water off pad exceeded benzene cleanup level in Juy but not October. Marathon will be required to continue quarterly surface water monitoring and yearly GW monitoring on pad. Contaminant levels are not declining after 6 years. Marathon will be required to investiagte and develop an in-situ remediaiton plan to address the contamination on site. Either the contamination is not decreasing or there is a continuing leak somewhere on the pad. |

Update or Other Action |
Reviewed 06 monitoring report and discussed comments with Tom Beckman. Delaying on-site work until operations has completed on-site pad work is approved. Figure 2 shows a possible change in GW flow direction. If this change is corrects, the Sw samples were not downgradient of the pad. Therefore, for the next sampling event, 4 or 5 Sw samples ar eto be taken in what is now the apparent downgradient direction. this is important since MWA & MW4 at the edge of the pad exceed cleanup levels for DRO. Further assessment and verification of GW flow directin will be conducted in the winter 07/08. |
Donald Seagren |

Site Characterization Workplan Approved |
Reviewed & approved work plan for additional site assessment at the pad. The proposed work will be conducted during the winter 07 thru summer 08, with LTM continuing after that. The soil borings and MW installations in the adjacent wetlands must be done during the winter when the ground is frozen to prevent damage to the wetlands habitat. The additional site work will provide data on the current site conditions both on and off the pad in the adjacent wetlands. Soil, GW and SW samples will be collected. Addtional data/information will be collected to assist in determining the best remediation approach for the site. |

Reviewed the Site Assessment and Remedial Evaluation Report Kenai Gas Field Pad 41-18, from OASIS Environmental, dated April 17, 2009 for Paul Horwath. The Site Assessment soil sampling performed during the drilling of nine additional groundwater monitoring wells (on pad and off pad) indicated that DRO soil contamination above the soil cleanup levels exists at the site from one to eleven feet below ground surface, and RRO soil contamination exists, but below the soil cleanup levels. The groundwater sampling performed indicated that DRO and RRO groundwater contamination is present beneath the production pad and the western portion of the production pad above the groundwater cleanup levels. Of the two samplings performed of three surface water samples taken, appears that the surface water in the area of the shallow groundwater wells is not affected with the contaminated groundwater. The Monitored Natural Attenuation results indicated that both aerobic and anaerobic degradation pathways are active at the site. The readings indicate that the site is in transition from aerobic to anaerobic conditions. Further assessment is needed to determine if biodegradation and natural attenuation can be used to passively cleanup the site. |

Reviewed the Additional Site Assessment Report, Kenai Gas Field Pad 41-18, from OASIS Environmental, dated April 16, 2010 for Paul Horwath. During the additional site assessment performed in 2009 to further characterize the petroleum impacts at the northern edge of the pad, two additional soil borings were drilled and made into monitoring wells. Soil analytical results indicated that Benzene and DRO was detected above the soil cleanup levels and GRO and RRO being detected below the soil cleanup levels. All of the groundwater monitoring wells were then sampled other than three off-pad and downgradient wells because they were frozen and two on-pad wells because they were buried by snow berms. The groundwater sampling results reflected expected concentrations based on the past analytical results within the monitoring wells previously sampled other than DRO was detected at about three times higher than the groundwater cleanup levels in one of the newly installed monitoring wells, indicating that the DRO plume boundary reaches the pad edge. The proposed surface water samples were not conducted because the surface water was frozen. The surface water sampling is scheduled to be performed in April or May of 2010. |

Reviewed the Kenai Gas Field Pad 41-18, 2010 Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report, dated April 11, 2011, from OASIS Environmental. The two 2010 groundwater and surface water sampling events planned for 2010 were changed due to scheduling conflicts and the presence of nesting Terns. Spring sampling was performed in June and the fall sampling was postponed until spring of 2011. All monitoring wells were sampled other than for MW-6 because it was found destroyed. DRO was detected in monitoring wells MW-3, MW-4, MW-9, MW-10 and MW-15 above the groundwater cleanup levels at concentrations ranging from 2.3 to 4.8 mg/L. The DRO groundwater contamination remains next to the Wastewater Building, and along the northern and western edges of the pad. Surface water sampling was performed on August 24, 2010 with Toluene being detected in sample SW-5, and PAHs being detected in SW-4, SW-5, SW-6, and SW-7 all below the surface water quality standards. No sheens were noted on the surface. |

Reviewed the Groundwater Monitoring Report, Kenai Gas Field Pad 41-18, dated April 13, 2012, prepared by OASIS Environmental. The 2011 groundwater sampling event was conducted on October 17th and 18th of 2011, with DRO being detected in monitoring wells MW-3, MW-4, MW-9, MW-10 and MW-15 above the groundwater cleanup levels at concentrations ranging from 2.0 to 8.2 mg/L. Monitoring wells not sampled included MW-1 because it was damaged, MW-6 because it was destroyed and MW-5 and MW-7 because they are being proposed for decommissioning. Surface water sampling was performed on October 15, 2011 with BTEX not being detected and TAqH was detected in sample SW-4 at 0.001734 mg/L, SW-5 at 0.0009 mg/L and in SW-7 at 0.000069 mg/L all below the surface water quality standards. No sheens were noted on the surface. |

Reviewed the Kenai Gas Field Pad 41-18 Groundwater Monitoring and Additional Site Assessment Report, dated January 10, 2013, prepared by Weston Solutions. The annual 2012 groundwater and surface water sampling was conducted on September 29th and 30th of 2012. The additional assessment activities and new monitoring well sampling was conducted between October 23rd and 26th, 2012, and MW-18 was re-sampled on November 5, 2012 because the October sample was misplaced. DRO groundwater contamination ranged from 1.7 mg/L to 10.0 mg/L in wells sampled. On September 30, 2012 surface water samples were collected with TAH at 0.00518 mg/L in all surface water samples collected and TAqH ranging from 0.005718 to 0.006799 mg/L in surface water samples collected, with no sheens observed. On October 22, 2012 four test holes (one on each side of the building) were advanced to the first encountered groundwater using a “super sucker” next to the former Waste Water Building. Each boring was 36 inches bgs. Field screened to approximately 24 inches, with PID readings of 0.0 ppm. Groundwater slowly charged to a static water level of approximately 18 inches bgs. The test holes were left open for 3 days to observe for the presence of LNAPL. During these three days the holes were checked several times, with no odor, sheen or LNAPL evident. Eight monitoring wells were scheduled to be decommissioned; however, only three were decommissioned due to inaccessibility (MW-1, MW-3 and MW-11). The other five wells (MW-A, MW-5, MW-6, MW-7 and MW-8) are scheduled for decommissioning in January or February of 2013. Three replacement and four new monitoring wells were installed in October of 2012 (MW-3R, MW-8R, MW-11R and MW-16, MW-17, MW-18 and MW-19. Well MW-3R was installed to replace MW-3, MW-8R was installed to replace MW-8 and MW-11R was installed to replace MW-11. The four newly installed monitoring wells were installed to better delineate the groundwater plume at the site. Replacement wells MW-5R and MW-6R were scheduled for installation on the northwest portion of the pad as close to the pad/wetland without being in the wetland. Due to the steepness of the pad grade and the desired well locations, access with the Geoprobe would need to be from the wetland during frozen periods. The installation of these two wells is scheduled for January or February of 2013. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Meet with Hilcorp to discuss 2024 cathodic protection actions that will involve trenching across 41-18. Hilcorp presented the planned pathway of the trenches. Hilcorp plans on managing excavation with the same methods established in previous digs. Excavate soils and place next to open trench. If grossly impacted soils are encountered notify DEC. Place impacted soils back into excavation in the order they were removed from the ground ("dirty soils first in and covered with clean soils"). Water will be sent to the Grind and Inject facility. If significant product is encountered, they have been advised to berm the source area trench to stop product from moving over the entire trench. A construction report has been requested to document impacts. |
