Problems/Comments
In 2000, fuel was observed leaking onto a sidewalk on 2nd Street. ADEC convinced the building owner to investigate the heating oil storage system under the parking lot behind the building as a possible source. The foundation drain tile was found to have carried heating oil onto the sidewalk. The oil leak was brought under control when eight underground storage tanks (USTs) and the associated piping were removed from under the parking lot. Two of the USTs were still actively used at the time of removal. All the USTs formerly stored heating oil in capacities ranging from 300 to 1,000 gallons. Evidence of heating oil leakage around the USTs was extensive. Soil samples collected from the perimeter of the excavation were sent to the laboratory and analyzed for diesel range hydrocarbons (DRO) but not benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) volatile compounds. Soil samples collected at the building foundation where removal was forced to stop had concentrations ranging from 1,300 to 50,000 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) DRO. Soil samples collected from the rest of the excavation perimeter and its center ranged from 6 mg/kg to 16 mg/kg DRO. The 200 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated soil removed with the tanks and associated piping was stored on-site. An unknown volume of residual contamination remained beneath the building. The contaminated material stockpiled on-site was eventually transported to the Juneau United Soil Recycling facility where it was thermally remediated.
Action Information
| Action Date | Action | Description | DEC Staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5/2/2001 | Site Added to Database | Heating oil. | Bruce Wanstall |
| 5/2/2001 | Site Ranked Using the AHRM | Preliminary ranking. | Bruce Wanstall |
| 6/27/2001 | Update or Other Action | VCP letter sent to RP. | Bruce Wanstall |
| 1/7/2002 | Update or Other Action | Project Tickler Update - Email sent to Jason Ginter at Smith Bayliss LeResche asking for update on cleanup activities since January 24 2001 site assessment report received. Received reply this date - in my Outlook site folder for future reference. RP has been adding fertilizer quarterly but no new data collected since initial response. | Bill Janes |
| 11/1/2002 | Update or Other Action | Reviewed 5/22/02 Site Assessment Report. Three ASTs removed 11/00. Eight USTs removed. 200 cubic yards of soil taken to USR. Unknown volume of contaminated soil left along building foundation. Smith Bayliss recommends continued in-situ nutrient addition. | Bill Janes |
| 11/1/2002 | Update or Other Action | Emailed Jason Ginter at Smith Bayliss asking about GW sampling. | Bill Janes |
| 6/16/2003 | Update or Other Action | GW monitoring results from May 27 sampling showed DRO at 210 ppm and RRO at <50 ppm in MW-2. Smith Bayliss proposes additional sampling in the fall. | Bill Janes |
| 9/22/2003 | Update or Other Action | Email to Smith Bayliss to sample once more and put the project on hold pending major construction activities scheduled for Seward Street. | Bill Janes |
| 11/13/2003 | Update or Other Action | Monitoring report on 10/21/03 GW monitoring. DRO and RRO at 24 and 17 ppm respectively in MW-1. DRO and RRO data for MW-2 are 2.2 and 18 mg/L respectively. Results for both well samples are above DRO regulatory levels. | Bill Janes |
| 5/10/2005 | Update or Other Action | Report received on sampling results along foundation during reconstruction work on the building. The sampling focused on areas that had shown high diesel concentrations during the November 2000 site work. Highest sample 213 ppm. Email sent to Smith Bayliss asking if MW-1 still exists and if another sample can be collected. | Bill Janes |
| 11/27/2007 | Exposure Tracking Model Ranking | Review the cleanup reports and evaluate the status of the site using the environmental tracking module. | Bruce Wanstall |
| 11/29/2007 | Update or Other Action | ADEC received a call from the president of Goldstein Investments, Daniel Glidmann. ADEC faxed him a copy of the letter sent yesterday requesting well monitoring. Mr. Glidmann agreed that Nortech was the environmental consultant and that the intention GIC was to sample the two wells again and perhaps the data would indicate that the cleanup process is complete. | Bruce Wanstall |
| 4/1/2008 | Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other | ADEC contacted the environmental consultant about the nature of the water wells installed at the site after the AST and UST removal action and contaminated soil cleanup in 2000. The water wells were sampled in spring and fall 2003. The monitoring was discontinued because surface water from the parking area could infiltrate the piping from the parking area and affect the results of analysis. | Bruce Wanstall |
| 7/22/2009 | Exposure Tracking Model Ranking | A new updated ranking with ETM has been completed for source area 74246 USTs. Soil sample analysis in 2005 indicates that the cleanup in 2000 was effective and residual DRO contamination under the foundation and interior of the building is below regulatory cleanup levels. | Bruce Wanstall |
| 6/29/2010 | Cleanup Complete Determination Issued | The cleanup actions to date have served to excavate and remove contaminated soil from the site, and treat on site any remaining contamination. Based on the information available, ADEC has determined no further assessment or cleanup action is required. The exposure pathway analysis above was supported by the most recent ADEC Exposure Tracking Model (ETM) ranking. The ETM results showed all pathways to be De Minimis Exposure, Exposure Controlled, or Pathway Incomplete. There is no longer a risk to human health or the environment, and this site will be designated as closed on the Department's database. | Bruce Wanstall |
| 10/31/2014 | Exposure Tracking Model Ranking | A new updated ranking with ETM has been completed for source area 74246 USTs. | Bruce Wanstall |
Contaminant Information
| Name | Level Description | Media | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRO | < Method 2 Most Stringent | Soil | Soil samples were collected at locations along the building foundation adjacent to where the highest concentrations of DRO in soil were found during the 2000 Site Investigation. In two of the three samples, DRO concentrations in soil were below instrument detection and the third had a DRO concentration of 213 mg/kg. |
