Institutional Control Record Established |
In the October 2004 Draft Decision Document Fact Sheets, administrative controls (ACs)were established in order to minimize risk to human health and the environment. The site is included in the post’s Geographic Information System (GIS), a tool used in the Dig Permit process for notifying contractors, workers, and base personnel of the potential for contamination to exist at this site. The Dig Permit process is used to prevent installation of water production well(s) through the contaminated area, and prevent removal of contaminated material from the site to off-base locations or to environmentally sensitive areas. If future land disturbance activities at the site encounter contamination, the contaminated material encountered will be properly remediated or disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. The site will be included in 5-year reviews to periodically verify compliance with the ACs. |

Update or Other Action |
In the 2005 Site Characterization Workplan, it was determined that Unknown Tank No. 398 is likely to be the drywell at Building 157. Previous investigations during the removal of Tank No. 398 indicate low contamination along the edges of the excavation up to 7.2 mg/kg and RRO up to 15.9 mg/kg. Previous investigations in 1997-1998 indicate contamination from Tank No. 400, which was removed along with 136 cu. yds. of soil, remains at the site with DRO up to 2,700 mg/kg and BTEX ranging from 0.48-0.56 mg/kg. ADEC concurred with no further site characterization needed at the site. |

Update or Other Action |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) received the Groundwater Monitoring and Data Analysis Work Plan Fort Greely, Alaska on April 27, 2007. This work plan abides by the 2005 Final Work Plan with modifications to the wells and analytical parameters to be monitored particularly the addition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon analysis at monitoring wells MW-12, MW-13, and MW-14. Additionally, the pump type used in sampling the monitoring wells will be changed by replacing the Grundfos Ready Flow pump with a QED Sample Pro 1.75 inch bladder pump and QED MP10 controller, or equivalent. All other sampling methodology will remain the same as the 2005 Final Plan. The final modification to the 2007 Work Plan is the addition of Volatile Organic Analysis/1,2-dibromoethane monitoring at drinking water wells ECP2 and ISFAC at the missile field. An updated list of wells to be monitored, and the parameter for analysis from each well, for upcoming sampling events has been provided to replace Table 5 of the 2005 Final Work Plan. ADEC has completed its review of this document and has found that the Groundwater Monitoring and Data Analysis Work Plan Fort Greely, Alaska for 2007 adequately meets the requirements set forth in 18AAC75.355, and with the addition of the previously agreed upon amendment, this work plan is approved.

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Contaminated Sites (CS) staff met with Glen Shonkwiler, US Army Space and Missile Defense Command/US Army Forces Strategic Command (SMDC/ARSTRAT), February 3. A draft decision document titled “Record of Decision for Nine Installation Restoration Program Sites Fort Greely, Alaska” (ROD) was discussed. CS staff communicated recommendations addressing changes proposed by SMDC on two of the nine sites. These changes differed from the “Proposed Plan” that was released to the public in June, 2008. Comments are being prepared and briefing documents updated to address the Draft ROD. Mr. Shonkwiler also discussed several sites that were evaluated and sampled in 2008 that may be included in another decision document this year. Future planning for remediation work at some sites was also discussed. |
