Problems/Comments

Former landfills 4 and 5, also known as Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Site 88, are located adjacent to each other in the northeast portion of the installation extending north and south across East Post Road. The former landfills were used during the 1960s to bury what personnel believed to be sanitary wastes, metals, and ashes. Landfill 4 was closed in 1969, and Landfill 5 was closed prior to 1962. Total area of the landfills was 9.5 acres. Environmental investigations have occurred in 1997, 1999 and 2004. Three monitoring wells 88-MW-A, 88-MW-B and 88-MW-C, were installed in 1999 to determine if any contamination from the site was leaching into the groundwater table. Since 1999, upgradient and downgradient wells have had detectable concentrations of gasoline range organics (GRO), toluene, and chlorinated compounds. The detectable results have been below the project action levels (PALs). In 2002, monitoring well (MW)-3 was installed as a sentinel well. Monitoring wells 88-MW-A, 88-MW-B and 88-MW-C are currently sampled every five years, prior to Five-Year Reviews. MW-3 is sampled semiannually during even numbered years. The last groundwater data for this well was from 2016, which showed MW-3 to be minimally impacted by DRO. Groundwater monitoring at this site is expected to continue. Site was closed with institutional controls in 2009 under the Space and Missile Defense (SMDC). The corresponding U.S. Army HQAES site number is: 02341.1010.

10/1/2004	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. Groundwater monitoring will be conducted at a reduced scope of sampling that will be determined and agreed to between ADEC, EPA, and SMDC. If Fort Greely is transferred to another agency or party, formal ICs will be implemented at the site. The ICs will provide notification of restrictions for industrial/commercial exposure and will take the form of deed restrictions or similarly stringent site requirements under official post land documentation.

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. Groundwater monitoring will be conducted at a reduced scope of sampling that will be determined and agreed to between ADEC, EPA, and SMDC. If Fort Greely is transferred to another agency or party, formal ICs will be implemented at the site. The ICs will provide notification of restrictions for industrial/commercial exposure and will take the form of deed restrictions or similarly stringent site requirements under official post land documentation.

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.

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other

ADEC staff reviewed the document titled Draft 2008 Groundwater Monitoring and Data Analysis Report, Fort Greely, Alaska, dated March 2009. The Fort Greely groundwater monitoring program consists of monitoring wells that were installed during investigation activities on FGA from 1997 to the present. DEC approved a comprehensive groundwater monitoring approach in the 2005 Work Plan. Yearly modifications to the 2005 workplan are incorporated as needed to address environmental program objectives. Monitoring well locations and sampling frequency have been chosen to provide site specific monitoring where necessary, and comprehensive coverage for the old post and main cantonment areas of Fort Greely. Currently, a total of 30 wells are included in the groundwater monitoring program: 11 of these are sampled during the spring and fall on even numbered years, two drinking water wells are sampled quarterly, and 17 monitoring wells are sampled semi–annually. This report summarizes the 2008 groundwater monitoring efforts. A letter detailing staff comments has been provided to the Army.
