Problems/Comments

Diesel range organics (DRO) contaminated soil. 12/24/14: In the spring of 2000, 500 cubic yards of contaminated soil was removed and presumably taken to the biocell location. Per last data rec'd in 2001, there is an unknown quantity of DRO and RRO contaminated soil (and possible surface staining) remaining at 3 locations at the site. Last data available indicated DRO @ 6,900 ppm and RRO @ 18,000 ppm. As of 2015, the biocell is overgrown with alders and pending funding, will be sampled at some point in the future.

They plan on using petroleum contaminated soil in a biocell for asphalt. In addition, scrap metal, used oil, and empty drums have been shipped off the island by Pool Engineering out of Ketchikan. I advised Mr. Mills that any off-site transport of contaminated soil is prohibited and that when they plan to do the required cleanup work, a work plan will need to be submitted by a qualified person and submitted to DEC for approval.
