Problems/Comments
The Independent Lift Truck site is located at 1200 East 70th Avenue on the south side of the Anchorage, Alaska. The site is used for the sale of new and used equipment, equipment rentals, full service equipment repairs and maintenance, safety training and support. The subsurface at the site consists of peat, very gravelly sandy loam overlain by urban land, and the soils are excessively drained. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed in February 2001 and evidence of historic releases was observed. With the observation of surface staining, discolored soils, and leaking lift trucks onsite and the examination of aerial photos and historic uses, there were potential sources of contamination and evidence that prompted further investigation. The following contaminants were detected above the applicable cleanup levels in soil and are considered Contaminants of Concern (COC) at this site: methyl chloride, tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and diesel range organics (DRO). A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment was completed in 2001 for the Independent Lift Truck of Alaska. The investigation was performed to identify and characterize the soil staining onsite. Three shallow borings were advanced in areas of discolored soils, in the vicinity of former aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). Six soil samples were taken from depths between one and six feet at three different boring locations. Three samples confirmed concentrations above the migration to groundwater cleanup levels for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and DRO. The borings were backfilled with the drill cuttings. On September 25, 2002, Independent Lift Truck of Alaska resumed cleanup activities. Qualified personnel onsite observed excavation activities, field screened excavated soil and collected soil samples for analytical testing. Excavation #1 measured approximately 10 feet by 10 feet wide, to a depth of 7 feet below ground surface (bgs) and excavation #2 measured approximately 5 feet by 5 feet wide, to a depth of about 4 feet bgs. The total volume of excavated material was approximately 40 cubic yards of soil. The excavated material was transported in dump trucks to Alaska Soil Recycling for thermal treatment. The excavations were backfilled with clean imported fill. The gravel lot was subsequently paved over with asphalt. Confirmation sampling from this field effort documents that contaminants of concern are below ADEC cleanup levels. Groundwater is believed to be within approximately 100 to 120 feet and was not believed to be impacted by the contamination. Surface water is not present onsite.
