6/7/2005 Site Characterization Workplan Approved Final approval of revised site assessment work plan. Donald Seagren
9/6/2005 Site Characterization Report Approved Site characterization report by Travis/Peterson confirmed the presence of soil and groundwater diesel range organics contamination exceeding ADEC cleanup levels. From the characterization report, it appears that DRO is the only contaminant of concern exceeding ADEC cleanup levels. Donald Seagren
9/6/2005 Update or Other Action Sent letter to Waldo's Enterprises, LTD in Kodiak requiring that a corrective action plan be developed to address the cleanup and remediation of the contaminated soil and groundwater at the site. Donald Seagren
11/4/2005 GIS Position Updated Using Figure 1 from a Site Characterization Waldo Center report, from Travis/Peterson Environmental Consulting, Inc., dated August 2005, in conjunction with TopoZone Pro and the KPB Parcel Lookup, entered the coordinates for this site. Metadata includes USGS Topo Map 1:24K/25K, Black and White Aerial Photo, on a Medium Size Map, View Scale 1:24,000, Coordinate Datum NAD83. Moderate to High degree of confidence in accuracy of location. Alyce Hughey
5/5/2006 Cleanup Plan Approved Reviewed and approved a Corrective Action Plan dated April 2006. Donald Seagren
8/22/2006 Site Characterization Report Approved Reviewed Cleanup Summary Report. GW @ 6.38' at the time of the assessment. DRO soil contamination remains @ roughly twice the cleanup levels. Soil contamination estimated to be @ 10 -25 'bgs. Groundwater (GW) DRO & RRO contamination (from excavation) is contaminated above Table C levels. Further excavation not possible due to high GW levels and adjacent underground power line that leaks electricity causing a safety hazard to workers for any further excavation. Surrounding development is on City of Kodiak public water system. Area was backfilled and will be coverd with asphalt, creating a cap to infiltration of water that may mobilize the contaminants. Natural attenuation will continue to degrade remaining contamination over time. Conditional closure will be developed for the site. Donald Seagren
10/31/2006 Update or Other Action Received documentation and photos confirming that the excavation/investigation area has been paved, which should help to limit infiltration of surface water into the remaining zone of contamination. Donald Seagren
