Problems/Comments

This site appears to be in use and the ASTs within the fenced area are manifolded together. The two manifolded tanks have a total capacity of 15,000 gallons. At the time of the site visit, five disconnected ASTs were on site. A soil sample collected from downgradient of the valve between the ASTs, outside the fenced area, and approximately 2.5 feet bgs contained benzene at 0.0386 ppm, GRO at 761 ppm and DRO at 5,700 ppm. A soil sample collected from the surface near the small red AST on the north side of the road contained 100,000 ppm DRO. Questions regarding this site should be addressed to the Chignik Lake Tribal Council at (907) 845-2212.
