Problems/Comments
The property manager dug a trench to insulate the water line from the well to the apartment building. Badger Fuel filled the nearby 1,000-gallon above ground home heating oil tank (HHOT) and it subsequently fell over into the trench. Approximately 125 gallons of #1 diesel fuel spilled from a broken fuel line. The bottom of the trench was gravel; and some of the fuel ran under the building. The Fire Department responded to the spill and discovered that the tank was intact but leaking from the broken fuel line. The Fire Department plugged the fuel line to stop the release. Badger Fuel emptied the tank. Alaska Resources & Environmental Services was contracted to remove the tank from the trench. Approximately 20 cubic yards of contaminated soil was removed and taken to OIT for thermal desorption. The contractor determined that further soil removal would destabilize the building foundation. Oil was observed floating on the groundwater at the bottom of the excavation.
Action Information
| Action Date | Action | Description | DEC Staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5/11/2005 | Potentially Responsible Party/State Interest Letter | State Interest letter sent by PERP staff. | Kim DeRuyter |
| 8/24/2005 | Long Term Monitoring Established | Three permanent monitoring wells were installed in August 2005, groundwater was observed at 8 feet below ground surface. Benzene was detected in MW-2 at 5.5 ug/L and 6.4 ug/L in a duplicate sample from this well. DRO was detected at 0.15 mg/L. The drinking water well was sampled and analyzed for VOCs by method 524.2, no analytes were detected above the method reporting limit. Soil samples taken from the excavation contained DRO ranging from 7 to 884 mg/kg, and benzene, ethylbenzene and toluene also exceeded cleanup levels. | Kim DeRuyter |
| 2/17/2006 | Spill Transferred from Prevention Preparedness and Response Program | PERP Spill No. 04309926301. PERP File No. 100.02.263. | Mitzi Read |
| 2/17/2006 | GIS Position Updated | Location determined using DEC GIS and TopoZone Pro. | Mitzi Read |
| 2/17/2006 | Site Added to Database | Site added to the database. | Mitzi Read |
| 2/24/2006 | Site Ranked Using the AHRM | Preliminary ranking based on information available in PERP file no. 100.02.263. | Mitzi Read |
| 7/5/2006 | Update or Other Action | Called consultant, he believed the groundwater contamination observed in MW-2 could have been caused by an old buried heating oil tank that had been abandoned in place. Called property owner and left message. | Kim DeRuyter |
| 7/14/2006 | Update or Other Action | Received call from property owner saying she would contact her property manager about sampling, the on-site well, the monitoring wells, and the neighbors drinking water well (located down gradient of MW-2) either this fall or at the latest, next spring. | Kim DeRuyter |
| 10/22/2007 | Update or Other Action | Sent letter requesting annual groundwater monitoring event in November 2007 or January 2008. Parties agreed in 2004 that sampling would occur twice a year but sampling has only occured once in December 2005- benzene above clean up level. | Neal Everson |
| 1/15/2008 | Update or Other Action | Recieved groundwater monitoring report from November 2007 sampling event. Benzene is ND in all wells. DRO is 7.54 mg/L in recovery well- only analyte above the groundwater cleanup levels. Plume may be expanding as some DRO levels have increased but remained below the groundwater cleanup levels. ARES recommends annual groundwater monitoring event for Aug 2008. ADEC sent letter approving. | Neal Everson |
| 3/14/2008 | Exposure Tracking Model Ranking | Initial ranking with ETM completed. | Neal Everson |
| 8/20/2015 | Update or Other Action | DEC sent letter requesting update on cleanup. Requested response in 30 days of receipt of letter. | Janice Wiegers |
| 8/25/2015 | Update or Other Action | Contacted by current owners who said monitoring had been completed and DEC had agreed no additional monitoring was needed. Owners will check their files for more information. | Janice Wiegers |
| 1/14/2016 | Update or Other Action | Sent second letter requesting update about any monitoring completed since 2008 to contact for estate. | Janice Wiegers |
| 1/19/2016 | Update or Other Action | DEC received a phone call from the property owner. The owner indicated that they had understood that everything was completed with the cleanup. They will look through their records and get in touch with the consultant to determine if other reports or records exist that are not in the DEC files. | Janice Wiegers |
| 2/2/2016 | Update or Other Action | Emailed ARES to ask about when last monitoring report was completed. Last work was completed in 2007. Contacted landowner requesting additional monitoring to evaluate status of groundwater and determine if site closure is possible. | Janice Wiegers |
| 6/29/2017 | Meeting or Teleconference Held | Teleconference with RP to discuss site status and additional work. The PR thought that the site was closed. The drinking water well is located approximately 120 feet Northeast of the source area. No petroleum odors have been observed in the duplex. A site visit will be set up. | Shawn Tisdell |
| 6/29/2017 | Exposure Tracking Model Ranking | A new updated ranking with ETM has been completed for source area 75300 1000-gallon AST HOT. | Shawn Tisdell |
| 5/29/2019 | Update or Other Action | DEC letter sent to RP requesting response by June 6th, 2019 to set up a site visit to determine current site conditions and discuss a site closure pathway. | Shawn Tisdell |
| 1/21/2021 | Meeting or Teleconference Held | DEC staff talked with property owners about current site status. Owners were surprised to learn that the site was still open and had thought it was closed more than five years ago and that all contamination was removed. Two or three of the monitoring wells remain, however the skimmer had been removed from the recovery well many years ago. Property owners agreed to allow the DEC to conduct a site visit later this year. | Shawn Tisdell |
