Problems/Comments
Since July of 2001, heating oil has been observed floating on groundwater collected from monitoring well G-14. The source of this heating oil is not clear since heating oil contamination is known to exist in soil and groundwater east of the Eagle River Shopping Center at the Lazy Mountain Trailer Park. Lazy Mountain Trailer Court is east of the site. See ADEC file number 2107.38.001.

| 7/6/2005 | Update or Other Action | Met with Gayle White of State Farm Insurance and Jim Watkins, attorney for Vern Moeller to discuss site. Jim Frechione agreed to hire a consultant in order to conduct a site assessment. | Todd Blessing |
| 10/5/2005 | Update or Other Action | A letter was submitted to James Wilkens responding to his request to hold the owners and operators of Lazy Mountain Trailer Court responsible for contamination on-site. The letter stated that the source of contamination at Eagle River Shopping Center is unknown at this time. Mr. Moeller is presently a potential responsible party. At this time, the Department requests that Mr. Moeller hire an independent, qualified third party to meet with the Department in order to construct a site investigation work plan for determining the source of contamination at ERSC. The site investigation should be constructed such that it is dynamic in nature and legally defensible. Following a review of the site investigation report, the Department will make a determination as to source of contamination at ERSC. Update: ERSC must submit work plan by July 31, 2006. | Todd Blessing |
| 5/15/2006 | Update or Other Action | Reviewed letter, authored by James Wilkens, dated May 11, 2006. Mr. Wilkens claims that his client, Eagle River Shopping Center Corp., is not strictly liable for contamination on Eagle River Shopping Center. Mr. Wilkens also stated that he will hire David N. Nyman to conduct a site investigation. | Todd Blessing |
| 8/30/2006 | Conditional Closure Approved | ADEC has determined that ERSC site is eligible for conditional closure. This determination recognizes that there are areas of soil contamination remaining above the most stringent 18 AAC 75 soil cleanup levels established for the site. However, subject to site specific conditions, the contamination does not pose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. | Todd Blessing |
| 8/30/2006 | Institutional Control Record Established | Any proposal to excavate or transport soil or groundwater from this property requires ADEC approval in accordance with 18 AAC 75.325(i); and an Institutional Control identifying the nature and extent of contamination remaining on site will be noted in the ADEC Database. | Todd Blessing |
