Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Staff attended a meeting with Air Force and EPA personnel to resolve comments on the draft Eielson Five-Year Review. Issues with the document included event-driven groundwater sampling at several contaminated sites, which we denied pending further clarification of the process, and closing numerous sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), but keeping them open under the State until 18 AAC 75 diesel range organic cleanup levels are met. |
Ann Farris |
| 3/3/2005 |
Update or Other Action |
Findings during the 2004 Sitewide Monitoring Program show DDE, DDD, and DDT remain above the threshold effect concentration (MacDonald, 2000) in the sediments. Detections of DDD in the surface water above water quality standards (AWQC-USEPA). DDD was detected in invertebrates. |
Emily Youcha |
| 6/24/2005 |
Update or Other Action |
Staff received the results from the 2004 Sitewide Monitoring report. The consultant recommends cessation of monitoring. ADEC does not concur with cessation until the results are properly evaluated. Pescticides in the sediments exceed risk-based screening levels for aquatic organisms. Risk-based screening levels need to be developed for the invertebrates and ecological risk should be re-evaluated based on the recent data from the long-term monitoring program. |
Emily Youcha |
| 7/28/2005 |
Update or Other Action |
Staff referred the 1995 Baseline Risk Assessment and 1996 Biological Risk Assessment to the ADEC Risk Assessor for further evaluation of this site. |
Emily Youcha |
| 8/10/2005 |
Update or Other Action |
The risk assessor comments regarding the ecological risk assessment are: 1) a limited number of receptors were used and were selected to represent worst case scenarios using a weighting scheme. 2) Upon initial screening it was found that there was an unacceptable risk to certain receptors based on the screening levels (but not according to the Risk Assessment). 3) The Lowest Effects Screening Level (LOEL) was used for screening, which is a non-conservative measure. |
Emily Youcha |
| 11/22/2005 |
Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Staff atttended a meeting with the EPA and the Air Force to discuss this site. ADEC has concerns about this site due to the concentrations of pesticides (DDT, DDD, DDE) in the soil and sediments and the connection of this pond with Garrison Slough. Concentrations have been stable (not increasing or decreasing) since the remedial investigation. The 1995 human health risk assessment showed that the current risk is below 10-4. If there was digging in the area or a land use change the site would need to be re-evaluated for risk. Ffish tissue samples were collected in 1994-1995 to see if concentrations of pesticides in the fish were high. Concentrations were not high and did not pose a risk to the fish at that time. The assumption is that the fish have been exposed to the pesticide contamination in the sediments/invertebrates for a long period of time and at the time of sampling in 1994 they would have seen higher concentrations in the fish if bioaccumulation was a problem. It was agreed that during each 5 year ROD review, the site conceptual model and risk assessment assumptions need to be re-evaluated and a site visit performed to identify and erosion problems or surface water impacts. Institutional controls will remain in place. |
Emily Youcha |
| 1/26/2006 |
Long Term Monitoring Complete |
Staff approved the request to stop long-term monitoring at this site. The site will be reviewed during 5-year reviews. The site conceptual model and risk assessment assumptions need to be re-evaluated and a site visit performed to identify and erosion problems or surface water impacts. Institutional controls will remain in place. |
Emily Youcha |
| 3/1/2006 |
Update or Other Action |
Staff had a telephone call with Eielson AFB to discuss their long-term monitoring program optimization. Eielson would like to apply "event-driven monitoring" to many benzene-contaminated sites, where monitoring would occur when the concentration reached the MCL at a predicted time. They are using MAKSENS to do the statistical regressions and come up with a slope indicating benzene degradation rates. This slope would predict when the concentrations would reach the MCL and monitoring would occur at that time only. They would like to apply this slope to other "similar sites" to predict when the concentrations would reach the MCL. Eielson submitted the concept to AFCEE for review, but apparently AFCEE requested more data, which Eielson did not have. At this point, DEC has not reviewed any data on this concept and requested Eielson submit a report showing the data and justification of their assumptions. |
Emily Youcha |
| 7/6/2006 |
Update or Other Action |
ADEC agreed to decrease sampling of the North Boundary Wells from annual sampling to biennial. Upcoming measurements will be summer 2007, 2009, 2011, etc. Concentrations of VOCs, SVOCs, and metals in the sentinel wells have been monitored annually since 1992 and there has been no detection of contamination. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
Contaminated Sites staff participated in a facilitated three-party meeting with the Air Force and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) covering the environmental restoration at Eielson Air Force Base. The meeting was held in Seattle at the EPA Region 10 office. CS and the facilitator called for the meeting due to poor communication between the three parties and growing disagreements on matters fundamental to regulatory oversight on Eielson. Initially, each of the three parties was given an opportunity to talk generally about their involvement with the work at Eielson and their concerns. This lead to discussions of the Federal Facility Agreement (FFA) between the parties for base, as it appears that each party interprets specific sections of the FFA differently. Other topics discussed included the applicability of Freedom of Information Act exclusions applied to draft documents submitted to DEC, Eielson's plans for changing the frequency of groundwater monitoring for selected contaminated sites, vapor intrusion as a pathway to reconsider in the upcoming five-year review of records of decision, challenges posed by enforcing institutional controls as part of site remedies, and spill reporting coordination with DEC. |

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
ADEC participated in Eielson's 5 year ROD Review with EPA and Eielson. The sites covered in the ROD Review were the following: ST20, ST48, SS50-52, ST10/SS14, ST13/DP26, DP44, WP45/SS57, ST56, SS61, DP25, ST58, LF03/FT09, WP38 and SS67. Bioventing systems for ST10/SS14 and ST13/DP26 will cease operation during the summer of 2008. ADEC is concerned about LTM issues with SS35 and SS37 because of the potential for spills to be released from buried containerized wastes which are present at both of these sites. The vapor intrusion pathway will be evaluated at many of the sites where there are volatile compounds as a COC at the site and where there are potential receptors. All of these sites will be incorporated into Eielson's Land Use Control plan for the Base and the long term monitoring will be Event Driven Monitoring Program. |
Deborah Williams |
| 11/24/2008 |
CERCLA ROD Periodic Review |
ADEC issued a letter of concurrence on the 2008 Five-Year ROD review for Eielson AFB. In the letter ADEC concurred with the current remedies but recommends further work on the following: the vapor intrusion pathway needs to be evaluated for all potential receptors at WP45/SS57 site along with further evaluation of the selected remedy to ensure the Remedial Action Objectives are going to be met. The buried drums remaining at SS35 may still contain product that may pose a potential risk to ecological and human health risk in the future. The area of buried drums identified outside of SS37 may pose a threat of an imminent release of hazardous substances and warrants further investigation or response action. As stated in the 2008 Five-Year ROD Review, the overall long-term protectiveness determination for the Sitewide OU/Garrison Slough remedy will be further investigated. A Land Use Control Management Plan should be developed and implemented. |

2012-Final installation-wide monitoring program report received June, 24 2013. During the 2012 season one new monitoring well was installed. Six wells were sampled, there was no detected COCs (Contaminant of concern) or COPCs (Contaminant of potential concern) with levels that exceeded current MCL (Maximum contaminant level) or ADEC groundwater levels. Limited groundwater data (detections or sampling events) are available for Source Area SS35 to evaluate concentration trends for COCs. Analytical results of future groundwater monitoring events at SS35 will be used to confirm the 2012 data (the absence of groundwater contamination). |
