Update or Other Action |
Staff received 2005 RI/FS for this site. Contamination was identified during soil gas surveys in 2004 and sampling and analysis was performed in 2005. 2005 soil boring #41 (located adjacent to BRAC 102) and associated satellite borings indicate the presence of diesel range organics (DRO), gasoline range organics, and bezene contamination in the soil above DEC soil cleanup levels. Contamination appears to extend to depths up to 180 feet below ground surface(bgs), but contamination was not found above migration to ground water cleanup levels below 60 feet bgs. 2005 soil boring #42, located near the intersection of 6th Avenue and Evergreen Road, indicated DRO contamination exceeds cleanup levels to about 30 feet bgs. |

Update or Other Action |
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) received the Groundwater Monitoring and Data Analysis Work Plan Fort Greely, Alaska on April 27, 2007. This work plan abides by the 2005 Final Work Plan with modifications to the wells and analytical parameters to be monitored particularly the addition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon analysis at monitoring wells MW-12, MW-13, and MW-14. Additionally, the pump type used in sampling the monitoring wells will be changed by replacing the Grundfos Ready Flow pump with a QED Sample Pro 1.75 inch bladder pump and QED MP10 controller, or equivalent. All other sampling methodology will remain the same as the 2005 Final Plan. The final modification to the 2007 Work Plan is the addition of Volatile Organic Analysis/1,2-dibromoethane monitoring at drinking water wells ECP2 and ISFAC at the missile field. An updated list of wells to be monitored, and the parameter for analysis from each well, for upcoming sampling events has been provided to replace Table 5 of the 2005 Final Work Plan. ADEC has completed its review of this document and has found that the Groundwater Monitoring and Data Analysis Work Plan Fort Greely, Alaska for 2007 adequately meets the requirements set forth in 18AAC75.355, and with the addition of the previously agreed upon amendment, this work plan is approved.

Meeting or Teleconference Held |
ADEC staff participated in the Restoration Advisory Board meeting for Fort Greely in Delta Junction. During the meeting, Glen Shonkwiler with the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command presented the fieldwork that was completed during the 2008 field season at Fort Greely. The 2008 fieldwork included remediating the soil in the biocell at the South Tank Farm (STF); conducting further delineation of the subsurface soils at the STF; installing four groundwater monitoring wells in the Old Post area and downgradient of the STF; completing the investigation at the MOGAS fuel line in the Old Post area; conducting additional survey of the Jarvis Creek Munitions Burial site; and conducting additional investigation of the Building 675 vault. He also presented the work that was planned to be completed during 2009. |

Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other |
ADEC staff reviewed the document titled Draft 2008 Groundwater Monitoring and Data Analysis Report, Fort Greely, Alaska, dated March 2009. The Fort Greely groundwater monitoring program consists of monitoring wells that were installed during investigation activities on FGA from 1997 to the present. DEC approved a comprehensive groundwater monitoring approach in the 2005 Work Plan. Yearly modifications to the 2005 workplan are incorporated as needed to address environmental program objectives. Monitoring well locations and sampling frequency have been chosen to provide site specific monitoring where necessary, and comprehensive coverage for the old post and main cantonment areas of Fort Greely. Currently, a total of 30 wells are included in the groundwater monitoring program: 11 of these are sampled during the spring and fall on even numbered years, two drinking water wells are sampled quarterly, and 17 monitoring wells are sampled semi–annually. This report summarizes the 2008 groundwater monitoring efforts. A letter detailing staff comments has been provided to the Army. |

Site Characterization Workplan Approved |
Approved 2010 IRP Work Plan, which includes the removal of the Old Post MOGAS/DFA Pipeline. Two parallel 3-inch lines originate at former Building 163, near D Street, and lead north to the airfield. One of the lines makes a 90 degree bend 200 feet north of Building 163, and is blinded off at former Building 152, near C Street and 5th. A second 3-inch line leads north along the west side of 5th and makes a 90 degree turn west at B Street. It runs parallel to B Street and ends at Building 101, at B Street and 3rd Avenue. |

Approved the Final 2014 Groundwater Monitoring and Data Analysis Report documenting the 2014 post-wide groundwater monitoring activities at Fort Greely. Analytical results from four monitoring wells at the BRAC 94 site were above cleanup levels for diesel range organics, gasoline range organics, and/or benzene. Results from one monitoring well at the South Tank Farm site were above the cleanup level for ethylene dibromide. All other results were either non-detect or below the cleanup level, including all supply well results. |

DEC has reviewed the Environmental Summary Report (ESR) for the Motor Gasoline/Diesel Fuel Arctic (MOGAS/DFA) Fuel Line Site, which details the historical records, environmental investigations, and remedial actions for the MOGAS/DFA Fuel Line site in an effort to evaluate the remaining contamination and data gaps present to determine if the site is eligible for a cleanup complete determination or if further remedial action is required. Clarification regarding which sites included in the ESR were being recommended for further action/cleanup complete was requested. |
