Meeting or Teleconference Held |
ADEC met with Eielson AFB and contractor to review the Draft Site Characterization report for the CITS sites. QA/QC issues were discussed and there is a need for further data validation before the report can be approved. Contaminants of concern include DRO and GRO and DRO exists above ADEC cleanup levels in the soil. DRO contamination exists in the ground water. |

Site Characterization Report Approved |
Sampling results indicate an area of DRO- and GRO-contaminated soil exists above ADEC Method Two cleanup levels at this site. Ground-water sampling results indicate DRO-contaminated water exceeds ADEC Groundwater cleanup levels at wells MW-1 and MW-2. 4. ADEC does not consider this effort a complete characterization as required by 18 AAC 75.335 because the cleanup levels and techniques were not proposed in the report. Additionally, the report did not evaluate the potential threat to human health, safety, and the environment from the contamination. Since this information was not included in the characterization report, ADEC would expect this type of information in a future proposed cleanup plan for this site. |

Update or Other Action |
Contaminated Sites staff reviewed a dewatering permit with DEC Division of Water staff for Eielson Air Force Base. Dewatering will occur within 1000 feet of this contaminated site. Staff requested the contractor to estimate the radius of influence for each dewatering project under the worst-case pumping scenario. It was determined that the contaminated site would likely not be impacted by dewatering, but to be conservative, the contractor will be required to monitor for chlorinated solvents, total aqueous hydrocarbons, and total aromatic hydrocarbons. |

Update or Other Action |
On April 23, 2014, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and the United States Air Force reached agreement on the State-Eielson Air Force Base Petroleum Site Restoration Agreement (Two-party Agreement). This agreement was established to perform any necessary assessment, monitoring, remediation and cleanup determinations for petroleum contaminated sites at Eielson Air Force Base. This site was identified as a petroleum contaminated site requiring a response action and its cleanup will continue under Alaska regulations, following the procedures established in the agreement. |

Exposure Tracking Model Ranking |
A new updated ranking with ETM has been completed for source area 74662 Dining Hall building. Restrictions are currently in place to prevent contaminant exposures. Approval is required for any activity on site that can result in access or movement of groundwater or soil. A 200-foot buffer boundary is on the site until better delineation can be defined. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC provided comments to the USAF on the draft "2014 Site Characterization Report, Various Sites, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska dated June 2015 (the 2014 CRP SCR). The 2014 CRP SCR describes sampling activities completed at PL001(M), CS082, SS530, SS068, SS083, TU531, CS074, CG517, SS533, TU077, SS519, SS079, CS525 at Eielson Air Force Base in July, August and September of 2014. Sampling of soil and groundwater was conducted to evaluate data gaps from previous investigations; delineate the nature and extent of soil and groundwater contamination; determine the potential for co-mingling of plumes from separate sites; and to determine the need, or lack thereof, for further investigation at each site. |

Site Characterization Report Approved |
DEC reviewed and approved the Site Characterization Report for Source Areas SS068, SS083, CS525, TU077, SO501, CG527, SS079, SS519 Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Final, dated November 2018. The report describes results of site characterizations (SCs) at multiple contaminated sites
managed under the Compliance Restoration Program (CRP) at Eielson Air Force Base (AFB),
Alaska. In order to delineate the extent of contamination at the eight CRP sites included in this report, Environmental Compliance Consultants, Inc. (ECC) partnered with Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Jacobs) to collect surface and subsurface soil, groundwater, surface water, and sub and near-slab soil gas samples; conduct an analytical data quality review; and screen for human health risk. Analytical sampling conducted during the 2015 through 2017 field activities closed data gaps from previous investigations and demonstrated that further characterization is not needed at three of the CRP sites; the remaining six sites require further investigation. |

Update or Other Action |
DEC signed the Decision Document for Installation Restoration Program Source Areas SO066, TU077, SS079, SO501, SO503, and CG505, Eielson AFB. The document identifies selected remedies for petroleum contaminated sites at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The final selected remedy, excavation of affected soil and MNA of groundwater, is proposed to address fuel, VOC, and SVOC contamination in soil and groundwater at Source Area SS079. Until the final selected remedy can be performed, an LUC boundary will mitigate exposure
potential. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC provided review comments for the Draft Uniform Federal Policy – Quality Assurance Project Plan (UFP-QAPP), Environmental Construction and Services, Remedial Action – Construction at Multiple sites: TU077, SS079, CG517 and ZZ088, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska (February 2022). The UFP-QAPP details the remedial excavation services to be performed at Eielson Air Force Base (AFB) sites TU077, SS079, CG517, and ZZ088. Remedial excavation is proposed at sites TU077, SS079, and CG517 to remove up to 6,500 cubic yards (cy) of POL-contaminated soil in the vadose zone in order to eliminate the potential exposure concerns to human health and the environment. Remedial excavation is proposed at site ZZ088 to remove up to 350 cy of lead contaminated soil, as well as encapsulate the former communications building frame with a concrete cap. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
DEC approved an updated to Land Use Control (LUC) boundaries for multiple Eielson Sites. Site SO066 and CG505 are NFA sites, where interim LUCs will remain in place until the sites are closed. The LUC Boundary for sites SS079 and SO503 were recommended to be collapsed. It was noted during discussion that the installation of monitoring wells was not included in the Decision Document for site SO503. Air Force has agreed to further review this and propose any changes that may be required for the remedy component of SO503. The LUC Boundary for site SO501 was recommended to be collapsed and shifted to include a previous excavation at the site. Site TU077 requires further investigation and will be presented again at a later date. The proposed LUC boundary for site ZZ088 will be compared to Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) records and presented again at a later date. |
