Problems/Comments

Four former USTs were present at the site under federal operation; leaks or fuel handling spillage caused contaminated soil and groundwater at the hilltop site. Sections 5&6, T 74 S, 81 E, CR Meridian, Craig B-4 Quad. The USTs and contaminated soil was removed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The groundwater sampling showed that the contamination has naturally attenuated. Contamination remains below the log cabin and shed.

8/22/2007 Update or Other Action Cleanup Report reviewed. 250 tons of contaminated soil sent to Lower 48 for disposal. Confirmation samples showed elevated concentrations of DRO and benzene at the edge of the excavation. Contamination extends below the inhabited log cabin. DEC sent a letter to the Corps requesting that they investigate the vapor intrusion pathway. Anne Marie Palmieri
8/27/2009 Final Cleanup Report Reviewed Chemical Data Report reviewed and approved this date. Report documents groundwater and surface water seep samples as well as 2 air monitoring samples inside the cabin. Groundwater and surface water seep and crawlspace area air sample were all below their respective cleanup and screening levels. The air sample collected upstairs in the cabin slightly exceeded the benzene screening value, however there were other potential sources (smoking, furnace) which could have contributed to the results. No additional sampling is needed. Soil contamination remains below the cabin. An institutional control will be needed to ensure that the contamination is addressed when accessible.
